Ingredients Design: Inspired from dark souls, I embed the hint into the description of the paint material. A special bark animation can also be seen as an easter egg when painting with the rarest fruit.
Legendary Wildlife - DLC1 / DLC2
Environmental Gameplay: I am the design owner of all legendary wildlife across DLC1/2.
