Introducing 4 new Player Species and the "Time lapse" feature with which you can view the progress of your farm over time. Check it out in the Exit tab of the pause menu. (If you get this update mid play thru, your time lapse will be missing images for any past days.) We've also added lots of fixes and tweaks. Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports to helps us improve things!
A lot of folks have been asking when year 2 will be coming out. We have no estimated release date for year 2 currently. I'll post an update when we do. It's not coming out any time soon.
