May is here, the flowers are springing, and Industrial Petting moves forward! Today's update includes some new, more alien trees in the deep forest area, as well as a few bugfixes. We have a lot more art, pets, and systems in the pipeline, ready to be added to the game, and we're busy working to integrate it!

What else is cooking for the future? We have an adorable new pet with a new mechanic coming soon, as well as a big overhaul to food, cooking, and farming systems. We're really excited to see how people feel once you get your teeth into it!

Happy 5th anniversary of Industrial Petting: Early Access! We’re so grateful to all of our factory builders and to the friends that we’ve made; your support and suggestions keep us going.

We're happy to announce that we'll be finishing the game and leaving early access this year, so expect some exciting improvements!

For this update, we've added a large decoration for those who earn ten thousand credits as a preview of the celebration to come! Pet Producers who are awarded this great honor will unlock additional cosmetics.

Stay tuned for our short term roadmap towards a full 1.0 release, including new farming mechanics, VR improvements, updates to the UI, more pets, more hats, more toys and customization options.

We’re so excited to build the goofy fun of pet production and hope you and your friends will join us. Happy petting!
