We are working collaborativelly with Team 8 on this feature, and split tasks equally.

Hey guys, Just an idea... while I was doing my user testing for map design art work, a few of the users also mentioned like wildlife cuz it's a island, which would lead to animals surviving. I was wondering if a few of the npcs could be like reptiles/animals or birds.... Again just an idea :)))
