Demo functionality has been completed, so it'll be arriving in the next update after this one, just as soon as it gets approved for release! We'll post an announcement for that once we have a firm date for its arrival. In the demo you'll be able to try the game for free, and start earning items and animal DNA, and if you choose to upgrade to the full version, you'll be able to bring all your progress with you! In the meantime, we've added a whole bunch of new stuff and made a bunch of improvements for you, listed below.
For today's v0.84 update, the beavers have been busy. Here are your patch notes:
New Cosmetics:
- Yarr, pirate hats and outfits be here mateys (1 hat, 4 different colors of outfit, and an eye patch).
- Protect your eyes: 3 new round glasses have been added.
- Hats hats hats: Visors, devil horns and a propeller hat.
- Santa outfits and and candy cane melee weapons are now gone, but green and blue fancy shirts have been added, and katanas are back!
Island & Gameplay Updates:
- The island now includes a new beaver construction zone, desert village, and some quality-of-life improvements.
- Snow trees had their brightness reduced to help with seeing animals behind them.
- Pistol base-damage increased from 33 to 34, and move-speed bonus from 9% to 11%
- The final three gas circle warnings are shorter now if there are few players alive (dynamically adjusts based on number alive).

- A few new bot names added ;).

- Fix for bullets sometimes not hitting targets despite impacting.
- Spamming chat messages rapidly will result in a small chat timeout.
- Grenades and barrel explosions now destroy bananas.
- Fix for mole dropping 2 of the same gun.
- Fix for tents and haybales appearing under your weapon when standing beside them.
