Hello Wildarians!
As we get closer to Early Access release in early October, this is one of the biggest content/functional updates we will have until after EA because I've been heads down on fixing, balancing, and improving the existing game.
Individual pets now have a small skill tree that unlocks the ability to have multiple special abilities!
New Lassos unlock new ways to play, spend a bit more of Ivory or Obsidian lassos if you want an easier time, use the Nettle Lasso to more easily get the pet to 1HP, or if you dont want to break the bank, just buy a mana lasso from the Wizard and use it for your whole playthrough.
Join us on Discord to leave bug reports, suggestions, or just come chat!
Whichever way you play, I hope you enjoy adventuring. 🐸
