Good evening all, I have just pushed a new update which helps make the config screen a little easier to understand (I hope).
We have some additions to animal AI and audio. Added basic flee and attack for Giraffe with audio plus Death animation.
We have also started work on the Gorilla interactions. A couple of small things have been added to Male Gorilla and Female Gorilla. Animation and Audio reaction to player. All animals have been moved closer to player for testing and we have re positioned your starting point. Any issues or comments please let us know.

Small Update Now live
Hello everyone,
We have just pushed a small update that fixes the sliding of the player. You can move better and get to more areas. Also some small changes to prey AI so they react and flee aggression from the player or predators.
Edit:- quick fix so player visible wetness now affected by rivers/streams and visible drying when in shelter.

Update 1 Now live
Thanks for your initial comments and apologies for the mix up with the controls and not getting docs prepared.
On Screen Buttons
This update has fixed controls onscreen.
You can now simply click the onscreen buttons to perform the same options as the joypad buttons or keyboard.
Key Config Screen
The key config screen is now implemented and working.
Default controls are listed but can be changed to your liking.
The above is for keyboard, the joypad buttons are set for now but will be updated soon.
I hope this has not put too many people off and you can try again to play the game.
There is much more to come and again apologies for small team mistakes but I hope you can continue the journey to make this a fun experience.
Regards,
Andy

We are Live!
Thank you for all the support and interest the early access version of The Lonely Gorilla is now live.
Head over to the discussions for any information. Sorry for the few delay there was an issue with the bamboo needed for making nests. This has now been resolved.
Early Access Approaching
Hello everyone from Funderground HQ. The game is about to go live and we just wanted to describe the current position and provide some information on the roadmap.
Lots of work has been done on the camera and post effects to bring the environment to life, they're some very advanced features like volumetric lighting and full weather effects and day/night cycle. The game runs well (1080p) on older GPU like 660ti. We still expect to optimise much further and offer lots of control on settings to get it right for lots of different set ups.
The main work on the troop and social interactions are still to be completed and also a redesign of the map is currently ongoing.
We plan to update to a new map in the short term and steam leaderboards are very close to integration. Gorilla AI will be updated as well as defined interactions. We are currently testing a secret feature which we feel is unique and will really add to the troop experience. We do not want to spoil it because a lot of the fun will be in the discovery but it is exciting and worth a mention :-)
Obviously the game is early access so expect issues that come from an unfinished game but support and feedback will really help us deliver an interesting and unique experience.
Please add to discussions and request features as we firm up the roadmap once we are 'in the wild'.
