Welcome to those who are joining us as part of the Steam Survival Fest!
Adapt is a survival evolution game designed to simulate the constantly changing environments life must navigate to thrive. To succeed, your species will need to find food using a multitude of dietary strategies, seek out habitable environments, and react to changing seasons, and global climate. Your competitors will evolve alongside you, vying for food and territory to ensure their own survival.
Alongside survival fest we have updated the Adapt demo to version 0.47a which primarily sets the groundwork for future demo updates and most importantly improves performance across the board!
Patch Notes - version 0.47a
Description
This patch has Primarily been focused on integrating the new Attributes System into Adapt, which additionally powers the new Status Effects, and Weapon Selection systems. A huge effort has also gone into resolving several performance issues, some of which were causing crippling latency spikes for players on some machines.
Because this patch includes a major rework to several backend systems, there will likely be some added bugs, as well as some previously functional aspects of the game which will be temporarily disconnected. Feel free to report any bugs or broken genetics, mechanics, etc… and know that getting these systems working normally again is top priority. Thanks to everyone for playing!
