Hello Clan! Following our update cycle, today we’re releasing a new alpha version: 0.3.0 Guanaco.
Thanks to everyone who joined us in the livestream where we showcased many of the new features and content. We added a new area 🌾, a new season ☀, expanded the processors 🧀, added plants 🍆, animals 🐃, & more!
With so much new content we couldn’t start at the beginning, so we’ll tell you a bit about a new event, The Rite of Passage.
The Clan’s success depends on every adult being a contributing member to society. So the passage from adolescence to adulthood is something to be celebrated. As a new adult, you go through this rite on the 7th day, taking an oath and learning about your guardian spirit.
What’s next
We’ve got many features and content planned for the next alpha iteration, which releases in early August. Next up we’re adding the Fall season and beach region. We also plan to give extra attention to animals by starting work on the “pets” mechanic and making tamed animals go in/out of sheds.
Stay tuned next month for the mid-cycle devlog with more insight on these and more content!
