Hi everyone,
the new Escape the Pacific version 'Alpha 39' is now available.
For this update we were mainly focusing on adding the Banana Roof building modules and the Auto paddle feature. There are some gameplay improvements and a couple of the issues were fixed too.
The new Banana Roof modules allow to build complete buildings now also on islands with high Banana trees density. The recently added Palm Roof modules now have slightly updated models.
The Auto paddle feature makes long paddling journeys less demanding. Auto paddling is started automatically after paddling for a couple of seconds and can be turned off manually at any time or automatically in shallow water.

Additional plans also include Fruit ripening, Fruit regrow, Door, Window, Spear, Smoker, Ship wrecks, Sailing UI, Dolphins, Sharks ... We will work also on solving new issues and we will re-check some older issues too. Other new features will be added as implementing planned features and fixing issues will allow us to.
