EVERFOREST UPDATE v0.8.0 - User Experience Enhancement Update - 05/02/2023

Welcome to the EverForest! The latest update focuses on several NEW features and enhancements to the overall experience. Look for new visuals in your forest as it grows and as you interact with plants and animals—and as you plant trees in the real world. And check out the ability to zoom in on your forest as well as a few other changes to how you interact with the game.

Special note! For everyone: Progress has been reset for this build. Progress is currently capped to level 15. When you reach level 15, you can continue to play and collect rewards but you won’t earn XP or get special merge items from animals past this level.

We want to make this game amazing! Your feedback continues to be incredibly helpful. If you have things to say (suggestions for improvements and/or kudos), please consider becoming an EverForest Insider by contacting [e-mail] — You’ll help to shape the future of the game (and our planet)!
