Hello to everyone,
After the first official update, I released a new comprehensive version 0.3 update, with community feedback and items in the developer roadmap.
In this version update, there are many more adjustments and innovations in artificial intelligence, interface, rendering, lighting and gameplay.
Weapons and tools now have durability.
There is a more stable and synchronous combat mechanic with enemies and animals.
There are new lights and fog available to let you feel the world of "The Octots".
Remember, the game is still in early access, please don't forget to share with me any suggestions you have in mind and any experiences you have in the community center discussions tab.
I regularly follow feedback from the community.
