Next Update Now In Beta!

Hello Everyone!

We've just released the next major update to The Legend of Khiimori onto our beta branch (more info on how to access it shortly), here’s a brief overview of the new features and content:

• Wild Horse Taming - All those wild horses are ripe for the picking! Try your hand at taming new horses like the true horse whisperer you are!

• Peaceful Mode - Not a fan of the survival elements or being attacked by wild animals? Tone out some of the challenge with this mode and simply enjoying venturing into the world!

• Redeeming Oasis - Take a break from the heat of the sun in the cool waters of the oasis, cancelling heat effects!

• Wild Animal Behaviour Update (first iteration) - Instead of just gunning it for you and your horse, wild animals will now showcase stalking and pack behaviour! This is the first iteration of the new behaviour, so keep an eye out for further changes!

In this beta we'd really appreciate it if you can test the new features, and let us know how they feel! As always, you can bug report in game with the f1 tool, and you can report things here on Steam or on our Discord, just make sure to mention you're playing the beta if you do!

How Do I Play The Beta?

Taking part in the beta is super simple, and barely an inconvenience! Simply go into your library in steam, right click on The Legend of Khiimori, and select Properties. Then, in the window that opens up, select the Game Versions & Beta tab, then select the Open Beta in the list on the right!

Backing Up Your Saves!

Once you've done that, just close the properties box and the game will update. Please note: It's wise to backup your save games before you do this, just in case something goes horribly wrong!

Step One: Open up file explorer in windows, then paste the following into the address bar: %localappdata%/LegendOfKhiimori/Saved/SaveGames

Step 2: Select the SaveGames folder, copy it with the right click menu, and then paste it somewhere else (I personally use my desktop!)

Once you've done that you're good to go and ready to play the beta!
