Night Brightness in Ultra Dynamic Sky Reduced

Animal Skin Enhancements and Climate Effects

Announcement: Improvements, adjustments, and fixes have been added to the skins of various animals, organized as follows:

  • Elephant

  • Rhinoceros

  • Lion

  • Gazelle

  • Kudu

Additionally, these animal skins have been adjusted to better reflect climate effects, such as snow and dust in sandstorms.

Ongoing Commitment to Animal Evolution

From now on, we will focus on serving the community by dedicating ourselves to the structure, correction, and enhancement of the animals. We will review animations, fix bugs, improve mechanics, and add new features. Older animals will receive continuous updates until all are finalized, and new ones will be developed individually, ensuring a complete evolution.

Steam post imageSteam post image New Tanzania Map: In Development, Updates Coming Soon

Soon, a new map will be added, along with the others. We are working on the Tanzania Map, a version 2.0 of the old Africa Map, from the 2023 to 2024 period. This new version is larger, with new locations. Updates are being made constantly, and it will be released soon. The initial version will have a reduced area, and it will be expanded as the map development progresses.

We appreciate all the feedback from the community and ask for your understanding during this adjustment phase. We continue working to improve the realism, performance, and overall quality of Animalia Survival.
