Version 0.6.16 Update

It’s our favorite time of the week… that time where we get to release an update for Animalkind! With 0.6.14 and 0.6.15, we introduced a lot of changes to the game so this release is much smaller in scope.

Summary of Changes

  • Network stability: we did a pass to make the network a bit more stable when playing with friends. This should be especially noticeable on poor connections which would previously cause intermittent disconnections.

  • Performance: we’ve done a broad pass to improve game-wide performance but this is most visible in Tallwoods!

  • Fixed an issue where the minimap tracking icons were inaccurately placed.

  • If you open any menu while in zoomies, we now cancel out the zoomies.

  • Lighting was a bit too intense in some portions of certain maps. Snowrock should look a lot better in this regard.

  • Multi-collect should be more reliably working again. Hold ‘E’ around multiple collectable items to give it a try!

  • If your inventory is full but you keep crafting, we give you a fly-up indicator of that alongside packing up the item in a box to make it clear what’s happening.

Thank you for playing, and for helping us make Animalkind the best it can be! Have a great week!
