• Fixed Deinonychus in Dapplewood vanishing when they sleep.

• Fixed a hide & seek dino's interaction position being way out (behind Pippin's stall).
  
• Fixed Avery's post-hide&seek mutters blocking other quest chat.
  
• Fixed broken follower icons for some Troodon patterns.
  
• Fixed tomato soup boost values.
  
• Fixed Owynn being partially offscreen during a cutscene with Mari in Pebble Plaza.
  
• Fixed a place where the player could fall into Marlo’s creek and get stuck.

• Fixed the desert gateway resource project dropping items in an unreachable position when scrapped with a full player inventory.
  
• Fixed resource projects dropping undroppable items when scrapped with a full player inventory.
  
• Moved the blur setting to the Video category, and added a new ‘reduced’ setting as well as on/off.

We've been gathering all your feedback and have made the following updates to the demo that will also be in the final game:

• The town board and message boxes now react to the 'Larger Text' and 'High Contrast' settings.
  
• Prettier night-time lighting from lanterns, especially on Medium graphics quality.
  
• Improved GPU performance in Veridian Valley and Dapplewood.
  
• Added more places to sit in Veridian Valley. This has made Katy and Yazz very, very happy.
  
• It should no longer be possible to trap yourself when placing or upgrading a building on the ranch.
  
• You can now access ranch storage during the farming tutorial, in case you put the pond and storage unit into storage.
  
• Fixed controls occasionally being permanently locked by the dino care tutorial.
  
• Fixed the saddle tutorial being skippable by saving during the morning report just before it would be triggered.
  
• Dismounted dinos in the ranch will no longer automatically follow the player.
  
• You can no longer drop items into the Triassea Picnic food pile and be unable to retrieve them.
  
• The large food pile will now last for 3 days rather than 2.
  
• You can no longer name the player or a dino with whitespace.
  
• Fixed produce getting stuck to a small dino's head because they really don't like this.
  
• Fixed dinos sinking when coming out of small sleeping patch (this was our most amusing bug this round)
  
• Fixed a case where dinos could go missing on the ranch.
  
• Fixed large dino followers crowding the player because they need personal space.
  
• Fixed merchants giving away free rocks and things because as kind as this world is, there is still an economy.
  
• Fixed an error in the quest log when loading older saves with certain town board quests.
  
• Fixed a softlock when dismounting + using a dino skill at the same time.
  
• Fixed errors when using a dino's watering skill on tiles just as a small dino planted or harvested them.
  
• Fixed a few animation bugs where the player would drop through the saddle.
  
• Fixed obvious pop-in of Forsythia bushes.
  
• Fixed obvious pop-in of Wuerhosaurus.
  
• Fixed various cases where the game would get stuck on pause after tabbing out during loading screens.

• Many other things too minor to mention.
