Demo functionality has been completed, so it'll be arriving in the [b]next update after this one[/b], just as soon as it gets approved for release! We'll post an announcement for that once we have a firm date for its arrival. In the demo you'll be able to try the game for free, and start earning items and animal DNA, and if you choose to upgrade to the full version, you'll be able to bring all your progress with you! In the meantime, we've added a whole bunch of new stuff and made a bunch of improvements for you, listed below.

[*] Protect your eyes: 3 new round glasses have been added. [*] Hats hats hats: Visors, devil horns and a propeller hat. [*] Santa outfits and and candy cane melee weapons are now gone, but green and blue fancy shirts have been added, and katanas are back! [/list] [h1]Island & Gameplay Updates:[/h1] [list] [*] The island now includes a new beaver construction zone, desert village, and some quality-of-life improvements. [*] Snow trees had their brightness reduced to help with seeing animals behind them. [*] Pistol base-damage increased from 33 to 34, and move-speed bonus from 9% to 11% [*] The final three gas circle warnings are shorter now if there are few players alive (dynamically adjusts based on number alive). [*] The first gas circle warning will come slightly earlier in matches with fewer players. [*] Teammates who leave/disconnect will have their name and icon faded in the top right. [*] Dropped body armor now shows damaged state on the ground. [/list] [h1]Bot Updates (be afraid):[/h1] [list] [*] Bots will melee attack if up close. [*] And they'll also pick up health juice. [*] Bots also ignore each other slightly more often now. [*] Fixed bots stuttering from line-of-sight issues. [*] A few new bot names added ;). [*] Slightly improved bot pathing around some corners. [*] Fix for bots not pursuing others correctly. [/list] [h1]Fixes[/h1] [list] [*] Bullets from shorter range weapons like shotgun and pistol will now visually end at their max range (rather than the arbitrary maximum bullet range). [*] Fix for bullets sometimes not hitting targets despite impacting. [*] Spamming chat messages rapidly will result in a small chat timeout. [*] Grenades and barrel explosions now destroy bananas. [*] Fix for mole dropping 2 of the same gun. [*] Fix for tents and haybales appearing under your weapon when standing beside them. [*] Fix for clicking BACK during unlock sequence in the Research Lab causing the menu to get stuck. [*] Fix for hit animation causing character's feet to freeze. [*] Fix for shooting happening while typing if your shoot button was a keyboard key. [/list] ...And one final surprise addition: everyone who played during the candy cane period has now been awarded the candy cane as a second melee weapon skin that can be chosen in the customize screen! More melee weapon customizations coming soon. [img]https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33586940/aa7aa74e10a58d7af9c13d63c496ddef00170de4.png[/img]
