Patch Notes for v0.56.0

Shake, shake, shake!

We finally took the time to teach our dragons how physics works and though they still ignore that whole gravity thing using “magic,” everything else is 10x better! We’ve also trained them to let you grab their front paws, belly and backside so you can give them belly rubs and chin scratches. Thanks to your feedback for a simpler mode and environment focused on the dragons, we’ve added Petting mode and Peaceful Park! Petting mode has fewer controls and distractions than other modes while Peaceful Park is a smaller and more relaxed version of Beast Park. Please send us feedback and clips of petting the dragons!
