Field report: a new frontier and the drug trade

A quick rundown of the latest work going into DEADCLAIM.

A reworked frontier

We rebaked the entire Frontier map on a new natural Meadow environment — richer ground, grass, and foliage across the whole map. Water got a big polish pass too: lakes now carry bubbly foam along the shoreline, and the ocean rolls in with a bright surf band on the beaches.

A new crime pillar: drugs

A full grow → cook → deal loop is in. Plant and tend your crop, cook product at a station with a hands-on minigame, then move it to dealers for cash. It comes with a new criminal-themed art set, a pick-up-and-move system for placing your operation, and all the menus to run it.

Fixes & polish

• Helicopters no longer freeze up when flying far from other players.
• Blowing yourself up with your own grenade now actually hurts.
• Cleaned up a stray "Board" prompt that lingered while you were driving.
• Tuning passes on weather and flight.
