Hello again, Terrabeast Townsfolk!
It’s me, your friendly neighborhood Community Manager, Peter, with the latest development updates from Cliff. Lots of big, fun news so let’s dive right in!
Alpha Update 0.3 is coming in the next few weeks! Like the previous updates, this one packs in a lot of new content. There’s AI enhancements, new resources to discover, quality of life improvements, and new OddFauna to meet!
With this update, you’ll meet Trico! Trico is a very helpful, scaly new friend that’s excited to aid you in your quest to cultivate the Terrabeast.
You’ll also find that Pika’s shop is open for business! Pika is a feathery entrepreneur ready to buy and sell. Pika is the only source of seeds currently. With a visit to Pika, the farming can commence!
You’ll now make a curious discovery with all the OddFauna because their Artificial Intelligence now simulates a daily routine. OddFauna aren’t just waiting around in one spot for you to say hello. They have goals, needs, and go about their daily tasks upon the TerraBeast. Your fellow OddFauna will gather resources, create stockpiles, and even clean up the perilous blight when it gets too close to their homes. Cliff has lots more in the works for how each OddFauna will behave… or misbehave! This is just the start of the OddFauna AI updates.
A number of quality of life improvements have been made to the inventory system so you can better organize your goodies. Along those same lines, you’ll now be able to create containers to house all the treasures that you gather.
For those who are ready to farm, you’ll be able to craft a new hoe to till the earth and plant seeds. And speaking of seeds, there’s five new seed types to sow. Watering and current crops have also been updated. Lastly, there’s been several tweaks to the world growth calculation which should add to the fun of creating your own personal TerraBeast paradise!
Lastly, big news for Beta backers: those who pledged for Beta Access will now get access to the Alpha with the launch of 0.3! Once this update is out, Alpha keys will begin to go out to Beta backers. You’ll hear from us soon!
We’re excited for Alpha and Beta beasts to play Update 0.3 and look forward to sharing it with you very soon!
Take care and I’ll see you on the Discord!
Peter
