Project Pivo 2 0.1.4 — Launcher & Website

This release is mostly the connective tissue around the game — a proper Windows launcher, a public-facing website, and a few quality-of-life touches in the world map.

New

Windows launcher. Sign in once and the launcher keeps you signed in across runs, passing the session straight to the game so you no longer hit the in-game login screen. It features a custom animated progress bar with live download speed, current/total size, and a percentage indicator, and is offline-tolerant — if the update server is unreachable but a build is already installed, you can still play.

Public website. A new account page shows your stats at a glance (resources, population, units, city slot) and a permanent delete-account option, alongside a news feed with a dedicated patch-notes section and a download page for the launcher. Registration now happens on the website, and the in-game Register button opens it in your browser.

Live events strip. The website now surfaces a live events strip whenever a world-boss event is active, with a JavaScript countdown ticking down to expiry.

World-map boss alert. A circular boss alert button appears under the mail button when a server-wide event is live — click it to fly the camera straight to the encounter. It disappears automatically when the event ends.

Improvements

Live boss-marker sync. The world-map boss marker now stays in sync with active server events on a 12-second cadence, so new spawns appear without re-entering the scene.

Auto-published boss dispatches. Boss events now auto-publish a news post when they spawn, giving players who weren't online a record of what happened along with a live countdown.
