Hi everyone!

Development on the big Tame It Too! update is in full swing, and we're finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! But for now, let's take a look at what we've accomplished over the past week!

More Detail in the Northern Valley

We keep adding more details to the Northern Valley, and the last few points of interest are gradually falling into place. At the same time, we go back to areas we've already finished to make them even more interesting. For example, our giant crab got some extra details that give it a story of its own. We want exploration to feel like more than just traveling from one point to another. It should be a real adventure, where even individual objects have something interesting to tell!

New Minigame

Work on the new breeding minigame is progressing, and we've made some significant strides recently. The main gameplay objects are ready, and we're beginning to test the mechanics and levels. The minigame is gradually taking shape just as we originally envisioned, and it's getting more exciting with every step. There's still plenty of work to do before we can show you the finished result, though!

Compass

Another feature you've been asking for for quite some time is almost ready — the compass! It'll make navigating the world much easier, so you won't have to keep opening the map just to figure out where to go next.

The core functionality is already implemented and has performed great in testing. We're now polishing the visuals to make sure the compass is not only useful but also fits naturally into the game's interface.

One thing to note: crafting the compass isn't an option yet, but you can find one in the new area!

Quests & Text

Work on integrating quests into the game continues. A substantial amount of content has already been added, and the hope is to have all the main quests in place soon. This is an important milestone that will bring the new locations, characters, and activities together into one cohesive adventure.

Plenty of new lines have also been added for Lee's reactions to the points of interest he'll encounter in the Northern Valley. And, as always, there's no shortage of our signature humor! After all, there's always room for a few funny comments, especially from Fairy!

Optimization

Huge progress has been made with optimization recently! Tame It Too! is now noticeably faster and more stable, with the performance boost being especially noticeable on Android devices.

Efforts are now focused on improving performance and eliminating bottlenecks that could cause FPS drops or affect the overall gameplay experience. These changes are making loading and gameplay smoother, and the game is running more reliably even on less powerful devices. There's still work to be done, but the results so far are really encouraging, and the push in this direction will continue!

New Sounds

We're continuing to improve the world's sound design, and this time we've added new sounds to the lava and geyser biomes. We want the different parts of the Valley to stand out not only visually but also through their soundscapes, helping each area feel more distinctive and atmospheric.

A huge thank-you to all of you for your support, dear friends! Stay tuned so you don't miss a thing. The big update is getting closer, and there's still plenty of exciting stuff ahead!

Have a wonderful week and stay awesome!
