A new map, Pangaea, is being built. Its not finished yet but its playable and testable as I work on it. This new map is 4 times larger than any of the other maps and it consists of multiple biomes and some new biomes. Vegetation is missing but its next on my to do list. This new map could possibly use more system RAM than the other maps but this is not yet known until the vegetation is added.

Accelerated Growth buff is once again counting down.

Fixed a case where sliding down slopes wasn't changing creatures' rotations.

Slope sliding has been slowed down to around 1/4th of its previous speed.

Falling speed has been reduced by 50%.

Some species can now jump. Some species lose the ability to jump as they get older. Press the spacebar to try to jump.
Jumping is still a work in progress. (Jump animations are being added for more species, jump variables are being adjusted, and some glitches need to be fixed)

Elder creatures can now continue to grow. They continue to grow passively over time and faster near sunstones, and grow actively through eating.
There is no progress bar for Elder growth but you can see your progress as a number in the escape menu. 1.0 is a full-grown adult. 1.5 is a new elder.

Fixed a case of food being dropped under the terrain when trying to drop food on the ground.

You now take damage from falling. Higher falls result in more damage taken.

Currently you can sometimes fall through rocks that you are standing on and hit the terrain and take damage from the fall, I'm working on a fix.

Losing 25% or more health in one fall will result in getting broken bones.

Broken bones take 5 minutes to heal and will only heal while sitting or sleeping.

If a creature walks while having broken bones the injury will become more severe.

Running, sprinting, initiating flight, and flapping your wings is disabled while a creature has broken bones.

The player's creatures will now slide down steeper slopes.

Made some more improvements to rock collision.
