The list below is a summary of most updates, additions and fixes since the last update post, this is not an exhaustive list. Features appearing in the post below may not necessarily be in their final state and may change in subsequent updates.

The past month has brought with it some significant changes to the game based on your feedback. We've seen the development of a brand new Territory map and territory benefits, a load of new Mod tools, improvements to the mission system and player safety features such as the new Ignored player functionality and changes to how unverified players can interact with others, and changes to Dogs including the new Dog Traits system which will be expanded on in future.

Thanks again to each and every one of you who support this project of mine which has grown arms and legs over time, and who continue to contribute your thoughts at every stage of the process.
