All your requests made their way to the gloriously large ears of Super Fennec Fox so today it bursts onto the scene alongside Super Twilight Raccoon, Super Wicked Monkey, and Super Deadly Panda! And with them they’ve brought another Squads Test Weekend and a big bag of 45 new cosmetic items.

The island has also experienced some quality of life updates including island terrain changes, grenade/banana auto-pickup and an additional, smaller final circle of life to reduce the number of chugging contests.

We decided that because of the Squads Weekend we’d give you all the rest of the weekend to get some extra clips submitted for SAR Tonight Episode 3! Feel free to submit as many clips as you’d like: the new deadline will be the end of the day on Monday (March 11).

If you haven’t seen it, Super Animal Royale Tonight is our way of highlighting all the best plays and funniest moments from the past month on the island, submitted by all of you! We’ve already received a ton of amazing clips so we’re especially excited for how Episode 3 is shaping up!

• 1080p, 30fps video. If you record in a non-standard resolution there’s no guarantees we can use it, but if the clip is great we’ll try to find a way to crop it nicely to fit into 1080p.
  
• Clips should be no more 30s
  
• Clips can be high skill (to be featured in the Superest Kills segment) or funny (to be featured in the Blooper Scooper segment).
  
• Reaction video/audio is encouraged and Streamer overlays are okay, but ideally they’re kept to a minimum (so they’re not too distracting from your clip).

Submission Deadline: March 11th, 2019 @ 11:59pm PST.

Hey Super Animals! We only released our previous update 5 days ago, so this one is a smaller update, but we still wanted to give you something fun and new to play with over the weekend! Today we’re adding Super Milestones to the main menu, which are items you can earn for completing specific tasks (like eating coconuts, getting hamster ball kills and chopping grass).

We tested a bunch of these in a previous update without any in-game interface, and the response was great, so today we’ve added more and we also have a new place for you to check your progress! Just click the flag icon in the main menu to check it out:





Super Milestones are here! Access the menu from the flag icon next to stats in the main menu. You can now see your progress towards all the milestones that we previously added to the game in addition to some fun new ones.

• Drinking health juice, using super tape, performing super jump rolls, and breaking enemy armor.
  
• We also added a new milestone reward for collecting 5 mole crates.

• Minimap is slightly transparent now.
  
• When landing inside a wall or object, the game will attempt to warp you out in the direction you were pushing.
  
• Grenades now have a sound effect for when they hit the ground.
  
• Equipped melee weapon skin will now be visible to teammates in the menu.

• Animals in the Customize screen are now in the same order as the Research Lab.
  
• Fix for bots landing and getting stuck in closed houses.
  
• Translation fixes.
  
• Fix for a bug where level 30 players saw items pop up overtop of the end-game screen.
  
• Fixed the hit effect animation not playing on targets who were dancing, rolling, or in a banana-stun.
  
• Fix for destructible objects like crates not being destroyable in the lobby sometimes.

As the Year of the Super Pig event comes to a close, it looks like something strange is happening on the Bamboo Stage? Probably just a malfunction with the equipment from the old PandUp Comedy show that used to take place there…


It’s the final weekend of our Year of the Super Pig event, so that means it’s also your last chance to unlock the 8 limited edition items above as well as the two limited edition Super Pig breeds! It’s also the last days to earn bonus Pig DNA (up to 650 bonus Pig DNA drops throughout the event after matches).

There’s no better way to conclude the Year of the Super Pig event than with another Squads Test Weekend! We had a blast playing with all of you during our first Squads Weekend, and we’re excited to be testing some brand new Squads features as part of this test:

• Track your teammates on and off screen better: teammate pins stick to the sides of the screen to let you know which direction they are, and when they come back on screen you’ll see their username and their silhouette even while in the fog of war.
  
• New Compass UI for important events during the match: see clearly when the Super Skunk Gas is closing in and more easily find the Circle of Life to stay alive with the arrow.
  
• The delivery mole will also appear on the compass UI to help you track down where the crate will be. It still only shows up when the mole first appears on the map, so you’ll need to follow its dirt trail to figure out where the crate finally dropped (and if you want to keep track of a far away mole crate, you can drop a marker on it using your map).
  
• We’ve also redesigned player pins, markers, the gas indicator and the mole arrival!

Say hello to Super Shepweiler, Super Zebra, Super Maned Wolf and Super Lionness! Super Shepweiler is based on our amazing community member, Freak_OTRT’s dog, Odin (so feel free to also call it Super Odin)! Watch him on the Doggo Cam here: https://www.twitch.tv/freak_otrt

In addition to the Super Zebra (a Super Donkey breed that uses Donkey DNA) it looks like 3 more of Donk’s Super Relatives have also arrived this update (Super Maltese Donkey, Super Asinara Donkey, and Super Mule) and that could only mean one thing…

Super Animal Royale Tonight is our way of highlighting all the best plays and funniest moments from the past month on the island, submitted by all of you! We’ve done two shows already that you can check out on YouTube, and we’re ready to start accepting submissions for Episode 3!

And finally, here are your patch notes for tonight’s update!

Squads UI Updates (full details above):

• Teammate pins on the edge of the screen, to indicate the direction of off-screen teammates.
  
• New design for the Super Skunk Gas indicator, Delivery Mole arrival, and Circle of Life (safe zone).
  
• New design for player pins and markers
  
• Squads weekend returns! Duos is temporarily disabled until Monday.

New Breeds:

• Super Maned Wolf
  
• Super Lioness
  
• Super Shepweiler
  
• Super Zebra (Super Donkey Breed)
  
• Super Maltese Donkey
  
• Super Asinara Donkey
  
• Super Mule

New Features and Adjustments

• Something weird is happening at the Bamboo Stage
  
• Steam rich presence support for both menu and ingame.
  
• Fading of trees/objects slower now (20s rather than 12.5s).
  
• Reduced collision size on bamboo reeds.
  
• Chaining Super Jump Rolls for the speed boost is now only possible with perfect timing on your button presses (doesn’t trigger if you spam the button).
  
• Added Super Tape as one of the Mole Crate drops.
  
• Fix for the mole icon being incorrect sometimes.
  
• Translation fixes.

Hey Super Animals! All the love in the air is about to shift back to the scent of gunpowder as Duos Weekend comes to a close, so if you or your favorite Duos partners haven’t earned the Duos Day Rose yet, now is your last chance until next year! The rose has a 10% chance to drop after every duos game you play, or you’ll be guaranteed to get it if you reach the top of the food chain and earn a win. The event ends in about 4hrs, at 12am PST tonight!


Once the clock strikes midnight and the Duos Day Rose departs, we’ll also be dropping a new update (without any downtime) that adjusts the weapon switch time. We think the new weapon switch animations were a really important improvement to the meta to make sure each category of guns can be used effectively and situationally, and no single combo takes over, and we really appreciated all the feedback you provided on it!

Taking all of that feedback into consideration, and doing a bunch of testing, we think the most important weapon switch for speed is pulling out your melee weapon / grenades. Having melee at the ready quickly is really nice for chopping tall grass to find items, or moving around the map a bit more quickly (at the risk of being unprepared in your next engagement, of course). So we’re making those faster. In addition to melee/grenades being really quick and snappy to pull out, we did a bunch of testing around how low we could bring the weapon switch time without breaking the meta.

In the end, we've decided to drop weapon switch time to 0.4s, down from 0.5s, and reduced melee/grenade swap time to 0.25s, down from 0.5s.. This makes switching weapons feel super fluid and snappy, while still ensuring a healthy gun meta. We hope you all enjoy the change, and welcome more feedback in Discord!

Lastly, thanks so much for all of the foxy submissions so far!! They're looking great, and it's quite the feat to be able to grab such good clips with no HUD turned on ;). We have two quick updates on the Clip Challenge from last post:

1. The deadline for clip submissions is this Wednesday at 11:59pm PST, so get your clips in by then, and all the selected clips will earn your choice of the golden jacket, or one of the SAR Tonight items (which can only be earned in video contests like this one).

2. In addition to the clips we previously listed (included again below for reference), we're also looking for some clips of players nabbing a mole crate. For those, the ideal clip that we're looking for would include the entire animation of the mole popping up, tossing the crate out, and the fox would open it up right away to get its loot. If some action and shooting ends up breaking out around it, that's all the better, but it's important that the mole himself is clearly visible in the shot.

Those are all the updates for today, but we have more newness coming very soon, so keep watching Steam and our social media for the next updates after this one! We're including the full clip contest details again below for reference in case you missed them in the last update:


We created this first trailer way back during our alpha, so now we're looking to refresh it! To qualify, you’ll need to play as the orange fox, with no cosmetics equipped and with your HUD turned off (press F1 to turn off all the UI). If you watch the linked YouTube trailer above, the whole video is done from the perspective as the fox, so in these clips you’ll be acting as that fox and replacing each of those clips.

(Feel free to submit as many as you like, as long as you’re playing as the orange fox)

Action scenes / kills in each of these biomes:

• S.A.W. Welcome Center
  
• S.A.W. Bamboo Resort
  
• Each of the three Research Facility buildings
  
• Pete's Swamp
  
• Super Saharaland
  
• Thomas's Tundra

Specific actions referenced in the trailer (clean/clear is best for these):

• Melee Kill (with katana)
  
• Grenade Kill
  
• Hamster Ball Kill
  
• Mole crate (seeing the full animation and opening the crate)

Requirements:

• 1080p 60fps video
  
• Play as the orange fox, with no cosmetics equipped
  
• HUD turned off (press F1)
  
• Clips should be no more 20s and we'll be using up to 10s seconds out of each one so condensed quick action is best.

Happy Duos Day, Super Animals! We’ve got two announcements for you today. We just dropped a new update tonight along with some weekend fun for Valentine’s, and we’re also looking for clip submissions to be featured in our next video. Here are all the details:

Even though we're still in the middle of the Year of the Super Pig event, we couldn't resist putting something small together for Valentine’s. So whether you’re already in a lifelong duo, or are still looking for the Super Animal of your dreams, join us for some duos fun this weekend and earn a rose melee weapon (available from the 14th-17th)! Since it’s Duos Weekend, there are two ways to earn it too. Either get lucky with a 10% chance of earning it each time you play a Duos match, or reach the top of the food chain in Duos and get rewarded right away.


In this update we’re also debuting a new mechanic for repairing body armor in the game (did anyone else hear that quack?). Now, when your armor is fully destroyed you won’t lose it. Just find Super Tape around the island and you’ll be able to repair your level 3 body armor back up to a maximum of 3 ticks, or your level 2 body armor back up to 2 ticks of armor.

In addition to Super Tape we also have a bunch of quality of life updates to the game like weapon switching animations, controller re-binds and an improved aimer for controllers. See the full patch notes at the bottom of the post!

We have a special video clip request that comes with a bit of a challenge! We created this first trailer during our alpha (back when there was less than half the current number of animals, no character customization, and no research facility, SAW welcome center, or bamboo resort), so now we'd like to refresh it! And it's not just the game that has changed a ton in a couple short months, we've also welcomed in so many amazing players that put the gameplay in that trailer to shame. Seriously, the Super Animal actor who played the fox must get more and more embarrassed by his uncoordinated gameplay every day when he sees all of you play on Twitch and YouTube.
(I can confirm his embarrassment. It was me.)

To qualify, you’ll need to play as the orange fox, with no cosmetics equipped and with your HUD turned off (press F1 to turn off all the UI). If you watch the linked YouTube trailer it’s all from the perspective as the fox, so in these clips you’ll be acting as that fox and replacing each of those clips.

(Feel free to submit as many as you like, as long as you’re playing as the orange fox)

Action scenes / kills in each of these biomes:

• S.A.W. Welcome Center
  
• S.A.W. Bamboo Resort
  
• Each of the three Research Facility buildings
  
• Pete's Swamp
  
• Super Saharaland
  
• Thomas's Tundra

Specific actions referenced in the trailer (clean/clear is best for these):

• Melee Kill (with katana)
  
• Grenade Kill
  
• Hamster Ball Kill

Requirements:

• 1080p 60fps video
  
• Play as the orange fox, with no cosmetics equipped
  
• HUD turned off (press F1)
  
• Clips should be no more 20s and we'll be using about 2-6s seconds out of each one so condensed quick action is best.

https://www.dropbox.com/request/taTd4NYfeIv5OYtdICQ3

We're also getting ready to start accepting SAR Tonight Episode 3 submissions later next week and will announce more details then! And for all of you who submitted those amazing S.A.W. Welcome Center Videos, we're still working with those and are considering including them as a special segment in SAR Tonight Episode 3 ;).

We're officially at the 2 month mark now since taking the leap into Early Access, so thank you all again for your love and support building this game and making it what it is today! We're constantly reminded every day how lucky we are to have such a supportive, kind and hilarious community of Super Animals along with us on this journey, so this year our valentine goes out to all of you <3.




New Features + Event:

• Super Duos Day event: unlock the Duos Day Rose melee weapon from Thurs, Feb 14 at 12am PST to Monday, Feb 18 at 12am PST.

Artwork of our new S.A.W. welcome center by the amazingly talented Unicorn Dominion!

It has been a wild first month on the island! In just one month, there have been more than 30k Super Animal slips on banana peels, 1.5M Super Animals have met their colorful demise, and 6.5M tufts of tall grass have been chopped down by Super Animals searching for items. Thank you so much to all of you in the Super Animal community who have been so supportive and made it such a fun and exciting time on the island!! We couldn't do it without you.



Next time you load into the game you'll find yourself in the crumbling remains of the Super Animal World welcome center: the cheery gateway to the bioengineered safari park that entertained millions of happy visitors until it was shut down after what S.A.W. lawyers insist we refer to as “The Incident.” The new region of the island features restaurants such as “Slow Food,” a teppanyaki joint run by world renowned (if painfully methodical) chef Slothy Aoki, and “Meet & Eat,” the only restaurant where you can enjoy stimulating conversation with your food before you eat it! Super Animal guests will not, however, be able to taste the “Pie of the Tiger,” due to an unfortunate and, if you’re asking me, rather suspicious kitchen fire.


Donk and Howl have completed their selections for the top community clips in the past month! We hope you enjoy the video, and if you do, it sure would be Super if you could share it with a friend (human or animal) to help us spread the word about the game.

Everyone whose clip was selected will be receiving one exclusive SAR Tonight item of their choice from a golden jack, a hat, or three different shirts! The smaller clips behind Donk and Howl count, and you'll also get to choose an item if you were a duos partner with the person whose clip was selected :). We had over 200 submissions and so many more amazing clips beyond the ones that made it into the final cut, so for everyone who submitted a clip, we have an exclusive SAR silhouette shirt for you as well.



The same 5 exclusive items will be up for grabs next month, so you can start thinking about your future submissions now!


Construction is finally complete: the Super Animal World Welcome Center is here!! We've been working on this area for months, so there's lots of little easter eggs to discover throughout. We won't list all the little details -- you can explore it for yourselves!

In addition to the new island updates:

• Visit Earporium in the S.A.W. Welcome Center and check out the brand new animal beanies that we've added to the game! They're legendary rarity and will drop after games like other cosmetic items.
  
• There's also a bunch of other little details around the rest of the island: new billboards, and more shanty animal buildings northwest of Super Saharaland.
  
• The region merge for NA/EU has been removed.
  
• Trees and objects now fade slightly more to reveal animals behind them.
  
• Fix for crash with pink rabbit and pirate costumes.
  
• Controller support for wireless PS4 controllers should be fixed now.

Hey Super Animals, controller support is officially here!! It works best with Xbox and Playstation controllers, but 34+ controllers in total are supported!

Also included in this patch:

• Menu designs and game UI have been updated so they’re easier to navigate both with keyboard/mouse and controllers!
  
• Footstep audible range increased by 9%, and roll audible range by 14%.
  
• Fix for animal breeds sometimes having the tube door open despite being locked.
  
• Fix for animal breeds not showing in the lab if you didn't own the core animal.
  
• Other minor fixes in the menu.

Our next big update is planned for Monday, January 14th and it'll be an exciting one, launching alongside our next video!

Get your best clips submitted by this Thurs, January 10th (at 11:59pm PST) and you could be featured in Episode II of Super Animal Royale Tonight, our video series highlighting the best community moments on the island, ranked by both skill and hilarity. Winners who get their clips selected will also get an exclusive Super Animal Royale Tonight in-game cosmetic item. If you have an 1080p+, 30fps+ clips that are 30s or less, submit them to our Dropbox here!

Lastly, thank you so much to everyone who has been spreading the word about the game, and introducing friends via the demo! These past four days since the demo launched have been super exciting with all of the growth, and it's so much fun to see so many new faces and play with you all!! We're building this game for you, so keep all your feedback coming!





Yep it still supports good old keyboard and mouse too ;).

Hey Super Animals!

If you have any friends who have been on the fence, it's time to invite them to explore Super Animal World with all of us. The Super Demo is here, so anyone can give the game a try before they decide to upgrade to the full version!

So what makes this demo a Super Demo, you ask? Well, aside from the fact that sticking the word "Super" in front of everything makes it better, this demo also allows you to play the game fully online, as much as you like!

In the Super Beta you can even start progressing through the game, earning items and animal DNA. These items you earn in the demo are locked, so you won't be able to unlock new Super Animals or dress them up to make them your own, but if you like the game and choose to purchase it, all of the items you've unlocked and progress you've earned will transfer right into the full game! That's pretty Super, right? Hopefully not so super that you'll avoid supporting development of the game, but we're really proud of what we've built and the community that has grown around it, so we hope that giving you the chance to experience it for yourself will show you that it's an Early Access game worth supporting!

The demo starts you off with 4 Super Animal breeds, but to unlock the remaining animals you'll need to get the full version. You'll be able to collecting animal DNA and Super Serum in the demo, and once you unlock the full game you can combine the two in the Research Lab to create and unlock new Super Animal breeds! The demo also does not support queuing up with your Steam friends in duos or squads (coming soon) modes. You'll be able to play these modes (when they're available), but you'll be matched up with a random teammate. The full version supports Steam Friends List and invites.

• If you played during the free weekend, you won't be able to transfer your free weekend progress to the demo. If you'd like to transfer your free weekend save file, you'll need to upgrade straight to the paid version. The demo starts you at square one, but all progress made in the demo will transfer to the full game when you upgrade.
  
• The demo requires Steam Cloud Saves to be enabled if you want to transfer your demo progress to the full game.

We've been busy these past couple weeks since launching into Early Access, and we now have more than 200 cosmetic items that you can combo to create your own unique Super Animal! We also have more than 60 Super Animal breeds, and will adding more animals and cosmetics in January and beyond! You'll also get access to Steam Friends Invites so you can group up with your friends in duos mode (and squads mode is coming soon).

We have some pretty big surprises planned for January and February so we're super excited for you to all join us on this journey!



Super Animal Royale Tonight, the show that debuted alongside our Early Access launch, is returning for a second episode! Whether you're a pro on a Super Animal killing spree or have a knack for dying in hilarious ways, submit your best and funniest clips (30s or less) here.

We've extended the submission deadline to January 10th at 11:59am PST, so get your clips in! We’ll feature the best clips in SAR Tonight Episode 2: How Strikes Back and reward the winning animals with their choice of exclusive in-game (digital) SAR Tonight merch! If you weren't featured in the first video, the golden jacket is up for grabs again, and if you want to try to get featured a second time, we'll also have new SAR Tonight items to choose from!

1080p, 60fps recordings are preferred but 30fps works too (just make sure to keep them under 30 seconds). Your reactions overlaid on the video while streaming are great (but keeping unnecessary overlays to a minimum would be appreciated), or clean recordings are wonderful of course too. Clips without 3rd party music are best, and higher sound effects volume is also appreciated. When you submit, please include your Discord, Twitch or Steam username in the clip filename so we can thank you personally and deliver you your reward if your clip gets selected!
