Patch Notes for v0.61.0

Hatchling’s first taste of food

Our biggest update yet! Building off our hatching demo, we’ve now fully integrated hatching into the main game with its own mode. And since hatchlings need to be able to grow up, we’ve added a leveling system where the more you interact with each pet, the more they’ll grow. There are also numerous improvements to the pets’ behavior. Lastly, we’ve updated our environments to make them feel more distinct. Have fun hatching and raising dragons and be sure to share feedback on our Discord.
