My first attempt on the graphics improvement, is the grass. I hated placing grass down manually  and how rough edged it looked depending on the camera. The image below isn’t from something I made, it’s actually just a sample I looked over, but no doubt you can expect the same effect.

The characters will also be getting linear textures along with grass, to give them more of a smooth look. I had my reasons for avoiding this but the system’s changed so much since then I don’t have to. Everything should look very smooth in the end.
