[Game Update] - 174200

Update Information:

Ooooooh, it's almost time to leave early access! But we've got one more update to squeak out just before then:

This update contains the first peek at content which evolves the world. Introducing: Resource Variants. A few of the basic resources (grass, berries, twigs, and trees/rocks) now have alternate versions which require different approaches and play patterns to use effectively.

Each time you start the game now, you'll get a random selection of the alternate resources, which will replace some of the original resources. This means you'll have to pay attention to what is (or isn't!) in the world and adapt accordingly.

As well, over the seasons, resources will occasionally die off and be replaced by their alternate. In this way, the look and texture of the world will shift over multiple seasons and years.

This first batch of variants affects only a small number of the basic resources, so that we can test the system out and see what's working and what isn't. It's focused primarily on the very early game, so we'd love your feedback on how this feels!

Now go eat a juicy berry.
