Hello!
So, to stat things off a lot of stuff is going to be changed, Eagles are on the way back in, and now we have new aquatic animals. Orca's and Great White Sharks.
Orca Preview
As you saw in the video the interactive water is being developed too
This map has a tropical coastal section which has dozens of nesting spots for eagles and any other flying creatures that make their way into the game
Tropical coastal biome
Tropical Jungle/Marsh biome
Forest Biome
As you can see there is currently a new map being designed around these new animals, Eagles, Orcas and snakes. Inside the Jungle biome is where you can find most of the snakes, these snakes can poison a player and result in a slow death if they do not find a way to recover from the bite (Cliche, but you guessed it, it's plants)
Head tracking is currently being worked back into the game, along side that is Foot IK

If you have been following along in my Discord you will have seen the video previews of fishing for eagles, bears and cats

Eagle/Leopard fishing concepts
Currently I have Fish AI being worked on, Rabbit AI and Snake AI. New plants will be added to help remove the poison effects if you're bitten.
Poison Healing Plant
Eagles will also be able to nest
Eagles Nest
This map is designed to allow Aquatics to hunt players on land, So there is a stream that runs right through the center of the map that connects to the ocean on either end, named the "Orca Stream" if you want to get the to the other side of the map players will have to either cross this river or a stone bridge near the tropical coastline
I am still working and sorting out all bugs and issues the game still faces while adding a lot new things to the game, Diets will start to make its way into the game, so, animals like eagles will like a fish diet more than a meat diet, carnivores will like a herbivore diet more than carnivore on carnivore. Fishing animals like Bears and Cats will like meat and fish, but the fish helps with their diet and overall health, same for the Eagle.
There are plans to add Alligators which will have sun preference. So they will like to sit in the sun a lot, no diet requirements. And temperature requirements, so the nice hot and humid jungle/marsh area will make it the most comfortable.
Also the environment plans to get much more deadlier, if it's not players it's going to be poisonous plants and maybe weather.
As talked about before there will be Rabbit AI that spawns almost anywhere at any time for players to hunt, Eagles will be able to pick rabbits up and take them to their nesting site or wherever.
So that about wraps up for the plans, Alligator and diets will be coming later to the game, but for now what I've shown and talked about is on its way in soon, Have a great day!
