With the rampocalypse still under way, we've significantly reduced the amount of RAM the game takes by loading the characters on demand instead of keeping them in memory. We've also added a new shark skin for Garret! Our 3d artist, Wiah, has been wanting to do something like this for some time. As for the crow character, they're currently undergoing design revisions so we can get them as beautiful as possible :)
Reminder: Anthro Heat has full modding support, including characters. The guide is available in the Discord.
