CLARIFICATIONS
-Documentary mode is temporarily available to all players in the demo. It will soon be restricted to Patreon supporters and content creators, who will continue to have access via a password, and will soon also be able to choose animals freely.
-The 29 playable animals in Survival mode are open for Patreon supporters and Content Creators to take an early look.
-The naming system is intended to give every animal its own unique name, but will first apply only to Mothers and herd leaders. The available names pool is small at the moment so you may see some names repeat, but the pool will grow over time until no two creators get the same name.
KNOWN ISSUES
-Lighting strikes shows target range when hitting player. Will be fixed soon.
-Pouncing Guineafowls damages the player, avoid pouncing guineas for the moment
-The Central Grasslands region recently got its terrain data overwritten and has been flattened, so if you see any floating boulders, those are hills that got erased; they will be restored asap.
-If you encounter any significant lag, go into your graphical settings, and turn down your shadows to low, then if needed turn down your view distance.
-Built-in Photomode pics being saved to unknown location(Use Steam or Nvidia Ansel for now)
