addedAdditionsAdded Deinosuchus as a playable class. Spacebar in water - Swim upwards. Ctrl in water - Swim downwards. Hold RMB when waterwalking (walking on the bed of water sources) - Big lunge. Used to grab targets to drown them. Only effective on targets half your weight or less, otherwise causes you to be staggered. Hold RMB on land - Small lunge. As above, but doesn't launch as far and costs more stamina. Tap RMB when swimming - Water boost. Used to rapidly launch yourself to your fastest swimming speed. Can also be used to grab swimming targets in the water. Passive - Water Sense. Used for detecting nearby movement in water. Hold Q while underwater - Enhanced Water Sense. Used to detect movement in water at a further range. The longer the key is held, the further you can sense. In order to use regular scent you must be above the surface of water. The Deinosuchus cannot eat food while underwater. The Deinosuchus must rise to the surface of water or be on land in order to do so.
addedAdditionsAdded Pteranodon as a playable class. Hold Spacebar while stationary - Stationary take off. Used to launch yourself into the air to fly. Stamina cost is subject to change. Hold Spacebar while sprinting - Running take off. As above but can be performed while sprinting. Stamina cost is subject to change. Hold Spacebar while flying - Fly upwards. Hold Ctrl while flying - Fly downwards. Hold Shift while flying - Fly faster at an increased stamina cost. Hold Z while flying - Air break. Used to slow yourself down in order to land safely. Be careful though! If you lose too much momentum you will fall from the sky. Hold RMB while flying close to a water source - Skim the water. Perform this action above ripples in water sources to catch fish. Release RMB when prompted to catch a schooling fish. The Pteranodon cannot swallow food while flying.
changedAdditionsReworked the entirety of Spiro.
addedAdditionsAdded Oxygen System. Character's that go underwater will lose oxygen at various speeds per species. Stamina is required to swim on the surface of water - if you run out you will begin to sink underwater. When near death from drowning, heartbeat sounds will begin to play and the screen will fade to black.
