Dear Soul Keepers !
Today is launch day for the first official Wild Souls update !
There has been a few fixes and patches before, but this is the first one to deserve the name of Update.
As a solo developper, I took some time to carefully craft it, making sure not to had too many things, and aim for the essential.
You'll find the overall experience of the game improved, as some optimization was realized.
Other than that, here are the new things you'll have to expect in this Update :
New animals for the Savana biome
Say hello to :
The Ostrich, the biggest living bird is a herbivore. Cannot fly, but very fast with lots of stamina.
The Golden Jackal, Canine closely related to foxes, wolves and coyotes, this predator is nicely adapted to dry lands
Existing animals have been updated, like the rabbit that can now live in every biomes, including of course, the savana !
New animals for the Tundra biome
The Harfang, this big white bird is a nocturnal predator living in the arctic tundra.
The Snow Goose, another bird, a native arctic goose, this white bird migrates to warmer areas during winter.
New plants for the Savana and desert biome
A new batch of plants adapted to the dry biomes. I hope you'll like the pachycereus Weberi, pachycereus Pringlei, the Baobab, the Kangaroo grass and the Opontia.
One of those cacti can and will act as a water source for animals in the desert ! But which one ?
New features and changes
- A requested feature : hotkey customization, keyboard only.
- Changed the "Have 300 plants" quest to 120.
- New quests to unlock the additionnal animals and plants
- The unlocking of some objects has been moved to the last quest. If you already had them unlocked they won't be available anymore, finish all the quest to get them back. This won't affect the already existing objects in your world.

I thank you all for your interest and support, please have fun testing this new version !
