Hey, everyone! Creature Bonding is now up on Pre-Release and we could really use your help testing this new feature to work out all the kinks. We also wanted to tell you about some hotfixes we’ve made thanks to your bug reports and feedback. Read on for all the info!
Help Us Test Creature Bonding
Creature Bonding is the new system we’re adding based on your feedback that lets you store, resurrect, and manage your creatures much more easily. Before we release it next week, we really need your help finding bugs and letting us know what you think to make sure it’s ready!
Bonding. <3
The first version is currently up on Pre-Release. We’ll be updating it throughout the next week, including adding the structure optimizations and some big structure building improvements tonight and tomorrow. To help us out, switch over to that build (
info & instructions) to give it a try, then report any bugs and share your feedback with us on the
Pre-Release forum. Thank you!
We’ve also made Pre-Release saves separate so that you can test without worrying about corrupting your main saves! So if you switch to Pre-Release and don’t see your saves, fear not. They’ll still be there when you switch back to the main branch. (If you want to copy saves over to Pre-Release for testing, the
FAQ has you covered!)
