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!

It’s been a while, but we’ve been busy making huge changes—and they’re finally here in the 0.3.1 Release!

The world is now an island. That’s right, we’ve completely revamped terrain generation to make everything feel more natural and fun to explore.

New biomes! You’ll find a beach (because who doesn’t love some seaside automation?) and more pets like:
Squorrel – Tiny, sleepy, and definitely camoflauged.
Rockoon – Small, fast, and absolutely up to something.

The game’s balance got a full rework. We’ve adjusted progression, contracts, currency, and research to make everything feel smoother and more rewarding.

The UI actually makes sense now. Menus, stats pages, and the tutorial got a much-needed refresh.

New music More tunes to vibe to.

Bugs? We squashed a ton. Glitches, Multiplayer, VR, Steam Deck, controller support—you name it, we’ve improved it.

We’re back in full swing, and this is just the start of what’s next. Jump in, check it out, and let us know what you think!
