This has been a busy month for Team Fugl as we have been travelling a lot. First we showed the game at Pax East in Boston, and then we also went to the AMAZE Festival in Berlin, so we had less time to add new features.

However, it is always delightful to show the game at expo, and in particular, it seems like the vr version is going down really well. (not available for sale yet!)

Here is a list of the most significant improvements since last time:

• Overhauled help system to make it more contextual
  
• Made animal movement smoother
  
• Fixed bug where animals will sometimes stall
  
• Fixed bug where animals will sometimes not repopulate
  
• Fixed bug with with flying into invisible terrain
  
• Made the camera more dynamic
  
• Misc bugfixes
