The first InDev 28 patch is here. This patch is full of minor tweaks, as most of the work was under the hood changes invisible to the player. Because of all the under the hood changes, I'd like to make sure everything is running smoothly, so I'm releasing it into the wild a bit early. The biggest change for you guys are the new doggo mobs and several of the AI tweaks I think you'll all love. Let me know what you think of the new doggos down in the comments. :)
You can report bugs over at the official website's Support and Bugs Forum, or on the Steam Discussion Board. :)
InDev 28 Unstable 1 Change Log
Doggos
- A new, and the first animal mob has been added. The doggo! Wild doggos will very rarely spawn on the map and occasionally make their way into your village
- The chance of a wild doggo on the map visiting the village will increase during the daytime, when they are hungry or thirsty and when it is raining or snowing.
- When a wild doggo visits a village, they may interact with villagers and become domesticated, take an owner and take a name, becoming part of your village.
- Domesticated doggos will follow their owner around, and occasionally help with minor work tasks, like harvesting wild food or taking resources on the ground back to storage buildings.
- Doggos, like villagers, also need to eat, drink and have a home.
- Doggos are stronger than their same level villager counterparts, but are also a lot more brave. Keep an eye on them so they don't get themselves killed in a fight.
