Happy International Beaver day to Buckey and his family!

Buckey and his children (Chip, Maple and Woody) are really important for the environment. Beavers are like ecosystem engineers. They create wetland habitants and generally boost biodiversity !

On February 2nd, 2025, the infamous groundhog, Wiarton Willie, did not see his shadow, meaning there will be an early spring! Did you know that Wiarton Willie, in the game "A Beaver's Tale", is based on a real ground hog?

Hi everyone!

I have worked hard to get some new updates and important bug fixes for A Beaver's Tale. Some folks who speed run the game, and some others who play tested brought these issues to my attention, so thank you kindly! A Beaver's Tale is better because of you :)

Here is the list of improvements in version 1.1:

• The game has been upgraded to the newest, stable Godot engine version (4.3).
• FXAA anti-aliasing is now enabled for the game, removing some of the jagged edges.
• The various bugs involving saving have been fixed. This includes the "Delete Save Data" button which allows you to make a new game anywhere inside A Beaver's Tale (nice for speed runners!)
• There's a new loading screen now between the various game modes - this makes the transition much smoother.
• Buckey's movement speed has been fixed. He used to move slowly vertically, but really fast horizontally.
• Fishing has been fixed. There were some edge cases where fishes were de-spawning, making it really hard to get the fishing achievement.
• Bugs involving logs and the final cut scene have been fixed.
• Terrain flattening has been removed from build mode, since it seems people weren't using it, and it causes issues with the grass "disconnecting".
• An issue that occurred sometimes when the game closed has been fixed. This is one of the main reasons performance has really improved!
  

I've got another tiny update for you that packs in a few new changes. First of all, you can now go "fishing"! Well, not really. Buckey is a herbivore, so he's more into catch and release.


There's also a shiny new achievement for fishing:



Some other small things in version 1.0.2:
- Small bug fix with switching windows while game is running
- Bug fix when multiple prompts are triggered. Before, the prompt in the top right corner would just overwrite the previous one, and you could miss information. Now they are "queued" so if you trigger another one, it will just play after the current one is done

Hi everyone!
I have released the first update for A Beaver's Tale!

It uses "semantic versioning", meaning this patch will not break any existing game installs that are out there.

A few nice quality of life updates:

• You can now dynamically change what monitor the game is playing on
• There are a number of new prompts that are added to help gameplay. Not all of it was clear
  

Hi beaver fans!

Try to get all of the achievements!

Try out the Build Mode!
