- HUGE UPDATE! v1.3 - 3 October 2025
Ok first off, sorry for the lack of updates... I was a victim of The Great SSD Crash of 2025... Luckily i had backups, but with that being said some things still had to be rebuilt This update brings a ton of changes - Nature Reserve has been completely rebuilt -The island's ocean looks way better -A NEW MAP CALLED THE RIVER -Optimization changes throughout! -I am currently able to obtain >60fps with ultra settings on my 3080 8g No Acheivements yet so you ach hunters can relax... but that doesnt mean there aren't secrets hidden in the river
- March Update! - 13 March 2025
Hello All! To coincide with the steam sale, I figured I'd go ahead and drop this update! I originally wanted to have the new map ready to drop at this time but that didn't pan out as I have sadly had to spend most of my time lately on my laptop (which cannot even open the Take a Walk Project lol). BUT! I still have something for you. Now on the main menu you can choose between 4 unique followers. A Fox, Capybara, Wolf, and Bear. All they do is follow you and you can choose to have no follower as well. It isn't perfect and I'm aware of that but I didn't want this promotion to come and go without atleast giving you guys SOMETHING as a thank you! --Ed

One of those silly totems fell under a mountain wild... :)
- Quick Patch, Not really a post needed - 17 February 2025
Added input sensitivity options Added ability to control totem volume separately

OK, this time we are doing it right The following fixes have been implemented --Level select screen within the pause menu now returns you to pause menu --Fixed the obvious incorrect build version issue --Fixed issue with the bunnies (seriously they are relentless) --removed motion blur The following CHANGES have been implemented: --You can now turn on or off the totem collection noise --The Nature Reserve has been updated (fixed broken models and textures as well as beautified the map a bit) --The overworld map no longer shows you where the totems are located. Now, instead of them being on the map, they will appear on the minimap when you are within a certain range THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR PATIENCE! YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!
- Price Reduction!!!! - 15 February 2025
Hello everyone! I feel this is the right decision. I understand now that as a first time indiedev, the audacity to even charge for the game in the first place is a bit wack. After much consideration and the seemingly never-ending stream of bugs that are emerging, I've come to the decision to permanently lower the price to $3.99 USD. I truly believe the game is worth that. If you purchased the game at the full price of 6.99 , reach out to me in the discord or via email @ [email protected] I'm working on another game, totally different concept but I'd love to provide you an early copy to check out when it's available. Finally, thank you all for the support! It's been an incredible learning experience :)
- Patch 1.1.5.2 - 15 February 2025
--Added ability to adjust totem collection volume --Set the border wall on aurora live because apparently I never cooked those???? --Changed how totems appear on the map, now they will no long be on the overworld map and will only show up on the minimap within a certain vicinity
- Version 1.1.5 - 5 February 2025
THIS IS A BIG ONE! Firstly, Thank you all for making the first week of release a fun one! In this build: --Added borders to maps to prevent going out of bounds --Fixed some AI jitter behaviour --addressed various other concerns from the discussion boards AND THE BIG ONE There is now an overworld map and mini map for each level!!!!! Press V (or L1) for the minimap or M (or r3) for the overworld map!! As always feel free to reach out to me if you find anything i have overlooked Thank you --ed
