Sapiens 0.6 update out now!
This update adds seven different breeds of fish! It also brings new detailed textures and shaders, improves all animal models and behaviors, adds a range of colors for alpacas and woolskins, and contains a number of bug fixes and balancing tweaks.
Fish can only be caught via spears at the moment, which can be thrown from the water. Fish hunting and canoes in general still need some more work, and angling will be added within the next couple of updates. However fish are already a nice addition and a valuable food source.
In other news, Majic Jungle has an employee now, it's finally not just me! Paddy has been working on all of the new models for this update, and we'll be continuing to refine these new models, as well as improving a lot of the other models, textures and animations.
And this is just a start, there is a lot of new content in the pipeline.
