Hey Rovers! ๐๐ค
We've just rolled out a patch for the Rover's Tale Steam demo ๐ง
This patch contains bug fixes for the demo and you can read the patch notes below ๐
https://bit.ly/3Q8egtq
(and don't forget to try the demo out if you haven't already!)
people have been asking what happens to the creatures you capture in Rover's Tale ๐
so to clear things up they aren't harmed AT ALL
they just get researched and then shot out of a cannon back to their natural habitat
it's totally safe โ๏ธ
some of the creatures on Terra II are a little introverted ๐๐
honestly we kinda get it
this is Good Boy
they are a dog but also a rover
and they're helping out a human who crash landed on an alien world ๐ช
not ideal but they're doing their best
play the Rover's Tale demo now and go help Good Boy out ๐

Good Boy hears that you haven't played our demo yet?
that makes him pretty sad ๐
if you did want to make him happy again you could play the Rover's Tale demo now ๐
