Release Version 1.4.4
NEW ANIMAL:
+ EAGLE - Welcome the eagle to the roster! Our second bird in the line-up wields a dangerously sharp beak and talons that make it a formidable foe to any animal! Includes both Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle subspecies.

NEW FEATURES:
+ RE-REVAMPED FLIGHT MECHANICS -Redid the flight AGAIN and really think I nailed the controls for flying. With default movement giving excellent bird-eye views of below and sprinting giving you dynamic camera-controlled fast flight/diving for excellent maneuverability.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES:
+ FLIGHT - While locked on to a live enemy animal, auto-landing is now disabled to make air-to-ground combat easier.

+ DRINKING - Increased rate of water gain while drinking.

+ DEHYDRATION / STARVATION - Decreased rate of health loss while these status effects are active.

BUG FIXES
+ DENS - Added a bed to the den in the cliffs for birds.

+ FLIGHT - Detection not longer causes you birds to fall out of the sky.

+ FLIGHT - Birds would change directions when flying up/down but not moving forward.

KNOWN BUGS
+ RATS - Body breaks apart when grabbed.

+ CINEMATICS - Lake and River water flashes white on start/end of cinematics.

NEXT UPDATE
I'll be pausing new animals for a month while I do a GAMEPLAY ONLY update! First up is a revamp and expansion of pack and mate mechanics.
