Slime Rancher v0.6.0, The Glass Desert Update, is deep into development and we'd like to share a preview of some of the content that we have in store for it. The Glass Desert gets its name from the monolithic glass structures that loom over the landscape, thought to be responsible for dangerous, fiery storms that periodically rage across the land.





In addition to this new zone, a host of new slimes will be available including these beautiful mosaic slimes!
They're so pretty! I love the way they shine in the- OH NOOO!
Ok, let's move on. Ahem... The tangle slime is so happy and cheerful! Look at them play! So much nicer than the mosaic slime!
Hm. Ignore whatever happened to that chicken. It probably totally wanted to get stanched by that tangle vine and devoured. Everything is FINE. In fact, let's end with something peaceful and not at all terrifying. The skybox is getting overhauled in v0.6.0 and now dynamically changes form day to night, with moving clouds and pretty lights in the sky. Here's a day passing in the desert:



We hope you enjoyed this preview. But that's not all, as plenty more is coming in the Glass Desert Update, including the dervish slime, fire slime, new gadgets, upgrades, and more! Stay tuned for info on when this update will be available! - Monomi Park

• You wake at the crack of dawn and get to watering the crops at the ranch. Some slimes are vegetarian, after all. Then it’s time to gather up the plumpest hens from the chicken coop. Some slimes are totally not vegetarian, after all.
  
  
• Next, you’re off to feed slimes their breakfast over at the slime corrals so they don’t get too out of hand during the day. Hungry slimes get jumpy. Jumpy slimes can’t be contained.
  
  
• With your ranch set for the day, it’s time to begin exploring the untamed wilds of the Far, Far Range. Along the way, you’ll encounter slimes you’ve never seen before, discover a new type of veggie to cultivate back at the ranch, and narrowly avoid certain doom in a valley of burly, feral slimes.
  
  
• With the sun setting, it’s time to head back to the ranch, rustle up some dinner for your slimes, and try and figure out just how the heck you’ll keep these new slimes that seem to, well, explode all the time.
  
  
• But you can do this. You had the courage to travel a thousand light years away from home to make a living as a slime rancher. Slimes that go boom? No problem. Slimes that burn with a radioactive aura? Bring it on. Slimes that wiggle their butts? Wait, do slimes even have butts?
