Slime Rancher v0.3.4 is now available! It contains the following changes and fixes:

Changes:
- The Ranch house now has a new background image that changes based on the time of day.
- The Ranch house's door now has an open/close sound effect, because silent doors are spooky.
- Puddle slimes now blush when they become too shy to make plorts. If you're trying to picture this, your mental picture is likely not adorable enough.

Bugfixes:
- Fixed an issue where phosphor slimes could sometimes disappear from the Grotto or corrals with solar shields.
- Fixed an issue where tabbies would fight over a chicken instead of the fastest one simply eating it like nature intended.
- Fixed an issue where a slime stack would result in slime folding into themselves.
- Fixed an issue where rad largos would become invisible when held.
- Fixed an issue where the tutorial would become stuck.

What's in Development?
We've got some cool, new stuff we're working on as we march toward our v0.4.0 release. Here's a sample of what to expect in the upcoming updates:
- The Moss Blanket is getting a visual overhaul and some new content.
- The hunter slime will finally be slinking its way across the range, hungry for your roostros.
- Steam achievements are on the way!
- We're starting to translate Slime Rancher into other languages. First up are German, Spanish, French, and Russian.
- A new Ranch expansion is in development: The Lab!

Slime Rancher v0.3.3 is now available!

Changes:
- The Pulse Wave has received an overhaul: the visuals have been greatly improved and the knockback and its effectiveness has been increased against largos and tarr.
- Boom slime explosion logic has been improved and has greatly reduced the chances of small items escaping corral barriers when they explode.
- An FOV slider has been added in the Video Options menu.
- Slimes that are actively fleeing Tarrs will now attempt to break up their slime stacks, because when things go south, it's every slime for themselves.
- Adjusted the volume and falloff of a number of sound effects.
- The music of the Slime Sea now has a new day and night theme.
- Adjusted a bunch of environmental props.
- Reordered a few items in the Slimepedia.
- Removed normal slime voice overs from ferals. It was hard to be intimidating when you sounded that darn cute.

Bugfixes
- Fixed bug causing fruit and vegetables to shrivel too much when they rot.
- Fixed bug preventing use of “w” in text fields (game name, bug reports).

That's all for now! Since we're now a few patches into our march toward v0.4.0, let us know in the forums if you're preferring these smaller, but more frequent updates vs longer downtime and then one large update. We'd love to hear from you!

Changes
- The most significant change of this update deals with performance. Many performance optimizations, especially in dealing with physics simulation have been added. This should be most noticeable for those closer to the minimum required specs. It is possible that you may notice a substantial boost in performance.
- Full Steam Controller support added, including using the Steam binding setup.
- Added navigation out of text input fields using a gamepad.
- Hide the cursor on menus while using the gamepad.
- Improved precision of movement and overall feel using the gamepad.
- Improved the save game file format.
- Made selection of checkboxes in the options screen more obvious.
- Some mountains have been added to the Moss Blanket to make the zone feel more inline with the other zones. This however is not the previously mentioned update to the Moss Blanket.
- Various environment changes to the range, including sand piles.
- Added additional Slimepedia entries for Largos, Ferals, and Gordos.
- Increased shadow rendering distance when on Medium shadow settings.
- Slightly larger control explanation text on tutorials.
- The Credits section has been renamed About and now contains additional info aside from listing some pretty cool people.
- The Indigo Quarry now has night time versions of its musical themes.

Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where Largos and crates would sometimes leave a ghost image stuck on the camera when shot away. We apologize for anyone spooked by these ghost images.
- Fixed a bug where the glowing effect on opening a slime door was sometimes shown reversed.
- Fixed a bug where various foliage would pop between positions/sizes.
- Fixed a bug where shadows on various foliage was sometimes drawn in the wrong location.
- Fixed a bug causing Largos and crates held on the end of the vac to vibrate while moving.
- Fixed a bug where the “Radar Toggle” and “Record Gif” button/key bindings were stored incorrectly. Note that you will need to reset any custom bindings you were using for these actions.
