Various collectable pets are added to the game. During in-game tasks such as chopping wood, swimming and killing monsters they can be added to the player’s inventory. Each pet has a unique ability!<\/p>\n

Pet Collecting was made via the Relay modding principle. Each participant had 4 hours to complete their part of the code, before it was send to the next person. The time limit comes with challenges! Everyone has their own programming style and strengths. With it being relayed 5 times, the initial mod took 20 hours to complete. There will be mod updates in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are currently 14 pets added to the game:<\/strong><\/span>
