Another beta update patch for everyone this week. v027.3049 introduces the new creature Salatonie, a rare sight on Sapphire Island that can only be seen during rainy weather. Even then, her presence will be difficult to detect, given that she fits into the Tiny classification of creatures.
To help with her detection, we have come up with a way for her Tiny body to be found among the grass and flora on the island. So let’s play a quick game of “Spot the Salatonie”!
She has a very long fin-like tail that she uses to help capture the rain as it comes down, which also makes her a little easier to spot for keen-eyed photographers!
Along with adding the new creature, we have added a bunch more fixes and changes to the beta build!
