Changes:

• The new 13 species of dinosaurs are now playable. The Argentinosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Gallimimus, Iguanodon, Kentrosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Protoceratops, Styracosaurus, Troodon, Dimorphodon, and Quetzalcoatlus.
  
  
• Two additional color variants are now used for each of the 13 new species.
  
  
• Required growth points for all species has been reduced.
  
  
• Now your dinosaurs rotate smoothly when switching directions.
  
  
• Now your dinosaurs stop turning once their latest direction is reached from where the camera last pointed to.
  
  
• All dinosaurs' turn speed has been adjusted.
  

Changes:

• Your dinosaur's forward direction is now equal to the direction the camera is facing.
  
  
• Dinosaurs and edible plants and trees no longer render when not within a certain distance of the player's dinosaur. This should improve the FPS of the game slightly.
  

You should now start noticing 13 new dinosaur species roaming around the island. The Argentinosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Dimorphodon, Gallimimus, Pachycephalosaurus, Iguanodon, Kentrosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Protoceratops, Quetzalcoatlus, Styracosaurus, and the Troodon. These are currently not playable but they should be playable soon.

Changes:

• The camera now moves twice as fast with the mouse. The camera now zooms in and out twice as fast with the mouse-wheel. The camera can now be zoomed out twice as far away from your dinosaur.
  
  
• As a temporary fix to increase the game's FPS, the amount of spawned dinosaurs has been reduced to half of what it was. It was around 880, now its around 440. All of those dinosaurs did take a good amount of processing power to have them all roaming around the map, hunting and eating food, fighting other dinosaurs, etc. In the very near future, when I finish making these 13 new dinosaur species playable, I'll work on optimizing the game's performance some more.
  

There are now three new upgradable stats.

• Stamina, for sprinting longer distances.
  
• Health regen, for passive health regeneration and health restored per bite eaten.
  
• Stamina regen, for sprinting more often.
  

Changes:

• Sarcosuchus and archelon can now drink water.
  
  
• Your current health now increases along with your maximum health when spending experience on health upgrades.
  

Bug Fixes:

• The underwater camera effect is now working properly.
  
  
• Carrying both plants and meat is now working properly for the player.
  
  
• Fixed a glitch that had to do with pressing the forward key while flying and turning, you should not have turned from pressing the forward key in flight.
  
  
• Dinosaur AI is now able to attack their target from the proper distance.
  
  
• The player's herbivores are now able to eat plants from the proper distance.
  
  
• Fixed a glitch where dinosaurs were sometimes spawning with more health, stamina, and oxygen than their maximum.
