[previewyoutube=5NmN11uFBIo;full][/previewyoutube] After months of frantic work, the Livestock Update is finally ready! This is just the first of two MASSIVE updates to The Last Craftsman. The two major additions are the new farm animals that can be acquired to help collect daily resources and the new Mods for Theseus that will dramatically change the way you combat enemies in the ruins. Along with those major features, there's also housing upgrades, more clothing, more items, full controller support, new mods, new everything! This update just about doubles the size of the game! Coming up in the future, there will be one small update to add Cooking so players can more easily obtain food items as well as some minor improvements to the game generally. After that small update, the work will begin on the second major update to finish all of the townspeople relationships and improve the story aspects of the game. I deeply appreciate the time everyone has spent with the game and hope you'll have lots of fun with the new update! Patch Notes:
