"for improved developer sanity", this has to be the best update!

Being a software dev myself. I feel this one a lot.

Hope we see equines and felkins in future updates both feral and anthro or support for full custom asset.

RL creatures will not be introduced, not officially, as the dev is not as interested in them and Patreon is a PITA about those (though there might be loophole mythical species). Currently they can be imported into the game granted there's a model that conforms to the template skeletons (which may also require Blender and Unity knowledge). You can see the roadmap here, but keep in mind it's subject to change: https://trello.com/b/cAl5bBMk/farmd
