Mojang has enhanced the leashing mechanics in Minecraft with the upcoming Chase the Skies update, introducing a new recipe for leads and improving leash physics to prevent snapping. Players will need one lead per mob to create a caravan, allowing for easier transportation of multiple mobs. To form a caravan, players can attach leads from one mob to another while sneaking. The traditional method of attaching leads to multiple mobs simultaneously is still available, with reduced likelihood of leads snapping. Players can also experiment with leashing boats and heavier mobs like horses and camels.
Indie developers have launched Whisker Squadron: Survivor, a roguelite shooter inspired by the Star Fox series, after a long hiatus since the last official release in 2017. The game, created by Flippfly, features on-rail shooting combined with roguelite elements, allowing players to choose ships and weapons to fight robotic enemies called The Swarm. It includes three acts with boss fights, voiced dialogues, and accessibility options. Whisker Squadron: Survivor is available on PC via Steam for .99, with a promotional price of .99 until February 28th. A Deluxe Edition is also available for .87, currently priced at .29. The recent 1.0.0 update introduced new features, improvements, and bug fixes, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
