addedSo the plan was to quickly release a hatching demo, but it turned out that hatchlings have physics scaling challenges. Since we needed to overhaul the physics anyways, we implemented a new physical characteristics system to give the pets basic stats to determine their physical abilities as they grow and level up. In the next update, we’ll add a post hatching demo for raising the hatchlings. The hatching demo is only available in Beast Park - Experimental Mode for now.
addedStep 1: Select one of three new dragon eggs to hatch.
changedStep 2: Place the egg on the incubator stand, then press the button to incubate.
