Hello Terrabeast townies!
 We hope everyone has had a wonderful summer so far, and that youâre staying cool (in the northern hemisphere at least).
 Our family has had the chance to spend a lot of time in the wilderness of Canada this summer. It has been an excellent change of scenery to inspire our work.
OddFauna has officially been upgraded from Unreal Engine 4 to UE5. I've been waiting for the right time to make the change, and now is as good as any. Upgrading to UE5 will allow me to continue to take advantage of Epic's awesome new features and is important to my long-term plans for OddFauna.
 In the next update to OddFauna Alpha, Iâm excited to introduce a new gameplay element: the Pollen System. As you traverse the world, youâll be able to collect pollen. Youâll find pollen clustered in all kinds of interesting formations across the Terrabeast. Weâve been comparing pollen collection to collecting coins in Mario or rupees in Zelda. However, instead of it being a currency to buy items, pollen is a currency to grow the plants around you faster!
Iâve also been working on a really exciting development: Controller Support! Translating mouse and keyboard controls over to a control can be really tricky. Itâs not a simple one-to-one conversion. The goal is to do the first pass of making the game feel great on gamepads and to get OddFauna ready to play on Steam Deck!
 Along the same lines, the camera is being improved with several new features; auto rotation, auto-framing, camera shake and more.
Looking forward to sharing more in the near future! In the meantime, connect with us on the OddFauna Discord, Instagram, and TikTok.
 Thanks so much, Cliff
Hi OddFauna friends,
Happy Friday! Just a short update today :) We hope that everyone that pledged for Alpha and Beta Access has been able to start playing Alpha version 0.3!
But wait: what's that? You say you haven't updated to 0.3 yet?? Well now's the time! If you pledged for Beta access, you should have received an email from Backerkit prompting you to login and receive your Steam Key. If you didn't receive that email, no sweat. You can simply login to Backerkit here: https://oddfauna.backerkit.com/ and find your Steam Key under Digital Downloads.
Also: We sent out an email yesterday to Alpha and Beta backers inviting you to submit your feedback on Alpha 0.3. Please check your inbox. Once you've had some time playing Alpha 0.3, please click through to the survey and send us your feedback. Your answers are incredibly important to Cliff! It really helps to understand the users' experience. With your feedback, we can make the best version of the final OddFauna game!
Have a great weekend! - Peter
