Hello Everybody!

Animallica Alpha v 4.0 is here!

For start we have to specify that this is the first half of a two parts update. The second half will arrive in about a week and will include several new maps, a lot of new animals, ranged enemies and more lore. To experience the entire new feel of the game, a fresh game is highly recommended after these two patches, even though the old save files should still work properly.
We apologize for the long wait, but is was time to make several drastic changes to the game.
