I just saw this and downloaded it yesterday, and I'm so hype for the full release. I played the initial game roughly a year ago and it's something that I've gone back to pretty frequently, despite how limited it was in terms of features.
I adore games like these, and I'm very excited that this concept is being taken further out. And now we have ducks!! Incredible.
One negative thing to say though, is that the pathfinding for some animals isn't very good. My crawdad frequently died of starvation despite plenty of dead critters hanging out on the floor of the pond. Fish rarely ventured beyond their breeding grounds too, meaning that some parts of the pond got insanely crowded, while others were barren.
But overall, this has left me wanting more! I'm very much looking forward to seeing what sort of things you guys create in the future.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the prototype is lacking in some areas, we're building the game from scratch now, code-wise. Stay tuned for the 18th February when the Kickstarter campaign goes live. :)

Happy trails!

Here's another great let's play you can check out!
Seems like a good start, but who on earth thought white text on a mottled light blue background was a good idea? Many of the tooltips are unreadable!
Thanks for the feedback!
A solid prototype, great work so far. Will the player be able to place more breeding grounds in a lake? And, when is the KS coming? :)
Thank you! We will announce the Kickstarter soon, campaign goes online mid February probably. :)
