Hey everyone,
We’re finally ready to release the fluid ontogeny system into the wild! While the bulk of our effort has focused on this system (and fixing the resulting issues), we have a few more features for you as well. Please note that initially the loading screen may not pop up immediately when starting a game, though this is not game-breaking and should only happen once per session. We strongly recommend starting a new save, as previous saves may be incompatible with this update.
As always, please send us any bug reports or suggestions on either our Steam discussions page or our Discord . Thank you, and enjoy!

- Palaeosaniwa threaten behavior should occur more regularly.
- Player should have a harder time getting stuck underneath trees when starting to climb.
