As weeks go by, we are closer and closer to achieving our vision of presenting the players with a carefully crafted, realistic, living world in the Riftbreaker. As we add new features and redesign the ones that did not quite reach the level of quality we aim for, we’re also working on adding new living beings into the game. Some of you might have even seen it hopping around the Galatean plains already during our streams - it’s the Jurvine (some call it the Boingy Bongo). [img]https://i.imgur.com/KWCjOLx.gif[/img] [b][I]Jurvines typically run away from danger. You'll have trouble catching them at Mr. Riggs' regular speed.[/i][/b] The cycle of life on Galatea 37 is very similar to that on Earth. The creatures and plants live, consume to stay alive and when they die they become food for other forms of life. There are both herbivores and carnivores. Predators and their prey. The Jurvine is a peaceful herbivore. It lives in packs and single specimens are hardly ever observed. Jurvines can usually be found around areas that can mask them from predators’ eyesight, such as high grass.

They live in a ‘nomadic’ sort of way, migrating from one feeding ground to another, not to overstay their welcome and become a target of a hungry Canoptrix pack. They move around on their very muscular legs, that they use to jump. Similarly to our regular kangaroos from earth (regular kangaroos from earth is a great band name, tbh), they are able to cover a very long distance in a short time and even outrun Mr. Riggs.

Also, don't make other creatures angry in the process.[/i][/b] The wandering nature of Jurvines makes them an important part of the ecosystem of Galatea 37. By traveling all the time, they spread seeds and pollen of the plants they come in contact with. Their lean meat is also very nutritious to all the carnivorous species, making them valuable prey. It is possible for Ashley to make use of that in energy production, as Jurvines drop a lot of biomass that can later be used in the Animal Biomass Power Plant. Whether it is the right thing to do is for you to decide.

That is not the only thing that is changing, as we work on many things in parallel. The best way to keep up with the development of The Riftbreaker is by joining our Discord. We publish daily changelogs and answer your questions every day. You can also join our development streams every Tuesday and Thursday. See you there!
