- new hacking mechanic:

Remember the peace and quiet during your hacking attempts when you were simply focused on the mini-game itself? That peace is now gone. Sailors will now patrol their sections and you don't want to be caught red-handed!

Adding this gameplay mechanic brings a whole new experience as not only you have to complete the hacking process, but you have to be aware of your surroundings. Timing is key!

- crosshair:

A much requested feature - now you will be able to toggle a crosshair in the options.

Fixes:
- optimization:

We've been working hard in bringing a much smoother experience to our players. You should see improvements in almost all areas of the game. Please note that we are still working on optimizing the Vidyayevo part of the game, so please stay tuned for more info on our progress in this matter.
