[h3]Major Update #2 - Jungle Overlord is Now Live! [/h3] 🔥

We’re thrilled to announce that after months of hard work, Major Update 2: Overlord is Now Live! 🌟 This update introduces the game’s first boss monster, a new area, and a special reward for champions of the Jungle. 🦧 We’ve also added a variety of quality-of-life upgrades, bug fixes, and a new spoilage system for raw items left to the elements. We’re eagerly awaiting your feedback! 🌴

🙏 One more thing - if you enjoy the game and appreciate our work, please consider leaving a review for other players on Steam to see. It would mean a lot to us! 🙏

🤓 Please note: when entering the new area with an existing save, some objects may not spawn there, as they weren’t part of the original seed when your game was generated. Otherwise, meeting the boss with an existing save should work as usual.

Watch the developers and VR content creators survive on Bootstrap Island!
