-This shows all kinds of information about how your various stats are changing while in-game.
+Reworked chat. Tab allows cycling through chat modes, but /p /h /g and /l still work
+Added food poisoning support to the HUD - Your fish / meat / leaves HUD icon becomes rotten when you have food poisoning
+Added Venom assets for Ability, Stamina, and Health HUD elements, from Soals
+Added support for Venom Damage.
-Venom damage slows, and eventually starts draining your ability and stamina
-Venom damage heals exactly as Injury Damage does

--------------------------------------------------------

-Fixed: The chatbox should no longer be in love with E's ONLY.
-This also gets rid of the issue with semitransparent text messages.

-Fixed: Server hosting user interfaces should no longer cause a network error when attempting to select an other map than the default.

-This is part of an improvement dev-side to add maps to the game. They will also come with a description and gameplay tips and recommendations later down the road.

-Fixed: Duplication issue with certain widgets.

-Improved lighting on Forest Island, Bloodbath, and Performance Test.


-General work on the map. Added more food, more work on the environment.

We just received an update on the modeling of our Lurdusaurus model, by Manuelsaurus! This is a very beautifiul model, and I think it may be my personal favorite of Manuel's models.



I also want to post a bit of an update on our animation situation regarding Manuelsaurus' models and Beasts of Bermuda. We now currently have four models from him, including Tyrannosaurus, Apatosaurus, Parasaurolophus, and Lurdusaurus. Unfortunately, we're very much in need of an animator.

I am considering installing Maya LT onto my computer after I finish setting up our steam page and code in our nesting, hatchling, and parenting mechanics to see if I can learn to animate our models, but it'd be very great if anyone has a potential animator looking for some commissions for bringing these models to life.
