Evening everyone,

0.2.0 is now available for you to download through Steam. However, the campfire and container system has not been added in just yet- we were integrating it to work with the existing code but after testing all week, we've realised that the inventory system is going to have to be rebuilt again for everything to work seamlessly.

The good news is that we're only expecting this to take 4 or 5 days, so the campfire and container features should be available by the weekend (possibly mid-week, if we're fast).

For now, the full survival system has been added and you can eat the (raw) meat you collect while hunting. 0.2.2 will let you cook meat over a campfire, store your items in certain items of furniture and will also bring some new plants and food items for you to eat.

Another new feature has been brought in with 0.2.0. This wasn't planned, but I thought we needed something more interesting for the thirst system than just wells (which are also available), so you can now build "cactus taps". These are wooden bowls with hollow spikes which you can hammer to cacti- they will drain water from the cactus and accumulate over time. You can refill your hip flask with fresh water by selecting the flask and interacting with the water.

Along with various bugfixes, improvements and optimisations, some random structures have been placed on the map to make things more interesting. The new map is well underway and the whole terrain will soon be replaced with an enormous plains biome.
