On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Release Version 1.2.7
CRITICAL:
+ DATA WIPE - Apologies but to correct data from previous builds getting corrupted I have to wipe game data again.

NEW FEATURES:
+ MAP 2.0 - Completely revamped the map system for the game! Should be a lot easier to navigate and it's much more usable for controller users.
+ DYNAMIC TAILS - Tailed animals are looking much more realistic with their tails responding to their movement speed. Also improved tail movement all around.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES:
+ STAMINA - Made stamina much less punishing, loss will only kick in when sprinting, trotting no longer diminishes stamina.
+ CONTROLLER - Fixed up the controllers movement, not quite as much as I'd like but It's a start.
+ CAMERA - Increased the POV of the game in order to reduce "binocular effect" which made the games movement too exaggerated.
+ CAMERA - Improved transition between targeting and default cameras.
+ CAMERA - Increased zoom range even further.
+ DEN - Dens now have names and descriptions on the map.
+ COUGAR - Improved animation blending for various cougar actions.
+ AUDIO - Audio from the game will now be muted when it is not the focused window on your PC.
+ AGING - Babies will now age about 20% slower.

BUG FIXES
+ CAMERA - Fixed a problem with the camera angling too low behind animal.
+ DEN - Dens we're not properly reducing ambient sounds, this is fixed and dens should feel more peaceful now.
+ POUNCING - Pouncing was not reliable on some animal, this has been fixed.
+ GRABBING - Possibly fixed animals getting stuck to your face when grabbing them.
+ GRABBING - No longer able to pick up older animals in your pack.
+ FLOATING - Some animals we're floating after jumping, this has been severely reduced.
+ MAX PACK COUNT - Apologies to those who enjoyed this bug but I do believe it's fixed now.
+ AUDIO - Many fixes to the audio system.
+ VARIOUS BUGS - As always many other various bugs were fixed / improved.

KNOWN BUGS
+ PACK ACTIONS - Still need to rework the AI more to make these active. "Pack Surround" and "Pack Attack" may appear as options but are non-functional.
+ FOX COATS - Alternate fur colors for the fox is temporarily not working because they don't exist
