Hello everyone
I wanted to let you know that I will be releasing nightly build updates to steam for The Great Circle demo. These updates include a variety of changes and improvements to the game. I understand that it can be hard to keep track of all the changes so I will do my best to include patch notes for each update on steam. There's usually anywhere from 50-200 changes so I will do my best to summarize the most relevant parts in an easy-to-read format for you. Thank you for your support for being a valued member of TGC's community! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the updates!

NIGHTLY BUILD | January 5
- Fixed hud showing too quickly upon first waking up. (Now: Wake...Cinematic...Hud)
- Improved leadership system. Animals not born with leaders can now choose (Leadership is based on level, size, and personality. The next improvement will require the player to perform realistic displays of dominance within view of animals to be chosen as leaders. currently this is either yes or no. The next update will put in place a spectrum where individual members of groups can have varying levels of acceptance, and it falls on the leader to keep followers in line and continue to prove themselves most fit to be leader.)
- Added scent exchange behavior
- Added bonding behavior
- Added choosing player as leader behavior
- Added NPC counter to hud for testing(near/far)
- Began code foundation for vocal communication airways (Ambiance)
- Various performance improvements
