- Blood Bear Update #15 - 5 February 2026
Hi everyone, I’ve released a small update that includes some requested features and tweaks, as well as some UI Fixes. -Aaron Scott Rabid Rodent Games 🐀❤️🐀Patch Notes:• Reworked Hunger System: Instead of losing health when hunger is at 0%, you will have decreased stamina regeneration. This allows players to still have to manage hunger to escape Blood Bear encounters, but also gives them more time and freedom to explore the map without constantly eating. Let me know if you like this change. • Added V-Sync option in graphics settings menu. Which synchronizes the frame rate of your computer's graphics card with the refresh rate of your monitor. This allows smoother gameplay, lower input latency, and removes visual tearing. • Shadow Quality can now be set all the way down to “Low”. • Improved UI readability for the framerate cap setting.
