Excited to finally get the first update out to you!
Please try it out and let me know what you think, many of these and a lot more in-progress changes come from player feedback.
Content
- Day-night Cycle - 24 hour cycle with new dynamic light and sound.
- Better Eating - Peck chunks from your prey and tilt your head up to swallow.
