After an unfortunate long pause in development due to the Corona pandemic, we are now back in business and are now resuming the development of Hybrid Beasts with great momentum.

We are happy to announce a new update 0.135 for Hybrid Beasts that adds a completely new feature called "Random Events". These random events are happening unexpectedly during a battle and have the potential to change the course of battle or drastically change fighting conditions. For example, in the first random event that is now available with the new update, a deadly asteroid impacts the battlefield wreaking havok where it hits. Currently, only this one random event is available, but many more will be available, soon. The frequency and kind of random events can be controlled in the settings

We are happy to announce that the new update 0.134.7 for Hybrid Beasts adds a new endgame mode called "Acid Rain" where deadly poison is raining from the sky making it even more challenging to turn the tides in your favour during endgame. Hint: The mystery "When you dig deeper" must be solved to use the new endgame mode. A number of sound effects have been added, for example during endgame introduction. Furthermore, we fixed the Metal API for Apple macOS systems solving a major graphics issue (Thanks FNA 20.10!). The much faster Metal API can now again be used instead of OpenGL on Apple system

The new update 0.134 for Hybrid Beasts adds major improvements to the key/button binding in settings menu. You can now separately define gameplay and menu keys which now allows your favorite use of controls both when playing the game and when using menus. Furthermore, the general usability of the settings menu has been improved. The macOS version can now switch between OpenGL and Metal APIs. The latter is a bit faster but might suffer from some graphical glitches. We recommend to still use the defaut OpenGL version for now. Also a few minor bugs were fixed. As always, if you still encounter a
