Brutal Nature releases version 0.38! New fancy water, Caves and AI!
Everyone has been asking for transparent water so here it is! We have also improved the AI so that it wanders around passively unless you get too close. As you kill more AI's they will become more aggressive. When you die they reset. See how long you can survive!
There is also amazing new cave systems with several miles of caves!
Brutal Nature is also now on Steam Greenlight! check it out!
