New Trailer
WHAT’S IN THE UPDATE
REPLACED INSIDE CABIN MENU WITH 3D ENVIRONMENT
New Items to Buy
You can now buy a Snorkel to allow you to stay underwater for 2 minutes at a time. Also purchase a Fast Travel Map to allow you to Fast Travel back to you home base at any time from anywhere.
NEW TROPHY ROOM
You now have a trophy room. It has a whiteboard with an overview off all your task completions. It has a display for your Golden Morels. You can change the photos on the walls to any of your photos you’ve taken.
There have been many collectables added to the game that are displayed in this room as well.
Now earn golden mushrooms for the other mushrooms you collect. These are displayed here as well.
UPDATED CAMERA
Animal Outline
When in camera mode, the animals will now have an outline when they are in focus. Green means they have not been photographed that day and gray means they have already been photographed. This only applies during daytime hours. We found it a bit too easy if this was also applied during the night.
Quick Capture
We have added the option to quick capture with the camera. No longer do you have to wait until you look at the photo to take a new picture. You can now quickly take many pictures in a row. This should make the whole experience of photographing animals a bit easier. This will be the default method. You can still toggle to look at the photo on.
Moved Photographed Text
We moved the text letting you know what animal you photographed to the bottom right and changed its look a little bit. This way you will still be able to take photos quickly without anything in your view.
UPDATED PICKUP
Crosshairs Pickup
We have updated the Crosshairs Pickup Method and made it the default pickup method. There should no longer be any issues of not people able to pickup a mushroom. With this method, you will no longer have to look straight down all the time. This should make the experience much more relaxing and enjoyable. You can switch back to the old pickup method with the green circle guide by turning off Crosshairs Pickup Method in Gameplay under Settings.
SWIMMABLE WATER AND FISH
Swim in Water
You can now swim in water. Press the crouch button to dive down and then just look in the direction you want to swim. Toggle crouch again and look up at the surface to swim back up.
Photograph the Fish
You can photograph and get points for the fish.
Objects and Insects
You can now get points for photographing some objects and insects.
MUSHROOMS
New Blewit Mushrooms
We have added a new mushroom to hunt. Blewit Mushrooms.
MUSHROOM MARKERS
MAP UPDATES
All maps have been updated with new lighting, some new or updated meshes, dust particle effects, collectables, and more.
STACKABLE INVENTORY
OTHER NOTABLE UPDATES
– Added 6 new songs to the Acoustic playlist. Found in the game menu under In Game Music.
– Optimized the game. It was very CPU bound before. We have spent some time optimizing the animals and other things to fix help this.

– You can now skip Intro Montages by pressing Enter on the keyboard.
– Updated Minimap Images to be more simple and help save on memory.
