Pika's shop is open!
Hello hello hello, OddFauna folk!
We’re back again with another very important update to announce the launch of OddFauna: Secret of the TerraBeast Alpha v0.3! It’s here!
There’s new friends, gameplay mechanics, items, and quality of life improvements to discover with this new update. See below for a list of all the new additions and improvements made in Alpha v0.3.
We’re thrilled that you all are here to celebrate another milestone in the development of OddFauna. Of course, our Alpha Beast supporters have already been with us on the Alpha journey, and we’re grateful for their support. Additionally with this update, we’re pleased to welcome Beta backers to the game as well! Backers whos pledge includes Beta Access will now have access to Alpha 0.3. This is fantastic news as more folks will be able to experience the game. Plus, more people playing the game means more opportunities to find bugs and more opportunities to provide feedback on the gameplay experience.
Keep an eye on your inbox as we will be sending out a Mailchimp email to inviting you to complete a new survey. It will go out next week. Your participation in this survey is important as it allows us to shape this game in exactly the direction that you want to see. The first surveys were extremely helpful and I am so thankful that we recieved so many responses. Now that Peter is back on the team helping out with the community, I am hoping to do more frequent surveys. We love your feedback!
For all other backers who are excited for your chance to play; I am still working on the plan to get you all playing. If I am able to get enough Alpha Steam keys for everyone, a realistic timeframe is this fall.
At this time I have no new update on the "Ride" sculpture. To remind backers whos pledge included a sculpt where we are at in the process; we have a factory sample and it looks great! Thats the good news, the bad news is we are still waiting on it going into full production. I am still patiently waiting to hear an update from the studio (Level 52) that is making it for us.Â
Alpha  v0.3 Updates
Trico has been added to the game!
OddFauna now simulate a daily routine, they have goals, needs, etc. (This is just the start and I have many plans for how their AI will behave)
They now gather resources and create stockpiles
They will clean up around their homes (kill blight)
It’s me, your friendly neighborhood Community Manager, Peter, with the latest development updates from Cliff. Lots of big, fun news so let’s dive right in!
Alpha Update 0.3 is coming in the next few weeks! Like the previous updates, this one packs in a lot of new content. There’s AI enhancements, new resources to discover, quality of life improvements, and new OddFauna to meet!

With this update, you’ll meet Trico! Trico is a very helpful, scaly new friend that’s excited to aid you in your quest to cultivate the Terrabeast.
You’ll also find that Pika’s shop is open for business! Pika is a feathery entrepreneur ready to buy and sell. Pika is the only source of seeds currently. With a visit to Pika, the farming can commence!
You’ll now make a curious discovery with all the OddFauna because their Artificial Intelligence now simulates a daily routine. OddFauna aren’t just waiting around in one spot for you to say hello. They have goals, needs, and go about their daily tasks upon the TerraBeast. Your fellow OddFauna will gather resources, create stockpiles, and even clean up the perilous blight when it gets too close to their homes. Cliff has lots more in the works for how each OddFauna will behave… or misbehave! This is just the start of the OddFauna AI updates.Â
A number of quality of life improvements have been made to the inventory system so you can better organize your goodies. Along those same lines, you’ll now be able to create containers to house all the treasures that you gather.
For those who are ready to farm, you’ll be able to craft a new hoe to till the earth and plant seeds. And speaking of seeds, there’s five new seed types to sow. Watering and current crops have also been updated. Lastly, there’s been several tweaks to the world growth calculation which should add to the fun of creating your own personal TerraBeast paradise!
Lastly, big news for Beta backers: those who pledged for Beta Access will now get access to the Alpha with the launch of 0.3! Once this update is out, Alpha keys will begin to go out to Beta backers. You’ll hear from us soon!
We’re excited for Alpha and Beta beasts to play Update 0.3 and look forward to sharing it with you very soon!
Take care and I’ll see you on the Discord!
Peter

Hello denizens of the Terrabeast!
I want to take this opportunity to reintroduce myself to the community here. My name is Peter (he/him), and I’ll be operating as Community Manager here for OddFauna.Â
I helped developer Cliff through the early stages of the Kickstarter and in setting up the OddFauna emails, discord, and social channels. I'll be working further on these platforms to get the word out and let folks know about the game.
I hope to be of service to everyone here. My plan is to expedite information from Cliff as quickly as I can. If you have a question or concern for Cliff, post in the #ask-the-developer channel on our discord. For everything else, feel free to ping me or our wonderful moderators there. I’ll do my best to help out, answer your questions, or resolve issues.
Super excited to be part of this community again and looking forward to getting to know everyone here!

Happy New Year, everyone!
We hope that you had a fantastic holiday season and that you're as excited as we are to see what the new year brings. 2022 was a busy year for us, with the launch of the first wave of alpha testing for OddFauna in July and two major updates. We were thrilled to see so many players enjoying the game, and a big thank you to all the alpha testers who participated!
We've also made some major updates to the OddFauna AI behavior and added a new beast, Trico. The updated build is scheduled to be released in v0.3 this January, and we can't wait for you to get your hands on it and see all the hard work we've put in.
In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing more information about OddFauna, including when beta and early access keys will be sent out, and the final release date. We will also have news about all the remaining rewards, including a major update on the sculpture - we've received the factory sample and it is beautiful! Keep an eye on our social media channels and this update for all the latest news.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our journey. We can't wait to see what the new year brings for OddFauna and for all of your creative endeavors.
