Wild Animals + Pets

Addition of wild animals native to different environments (like bobcats, bears, foxes, mice, squirrels, birds, otters, for the main map and camels, desert dogs, tarantulas for the desert)

The dog and cat you choose at the beginning will help you, for example, the cat keeps mice out of the barns and silos or the dog protects the farm animals from predators.
The dog and cat could also have little personalities. Like if you interact with the dog and cat they will interact with you. For example, you pet the cat and it makes you happy increases your luck, or the dog will sometimes follow you around and fight some monsters with you.

Also, the addition of a pet shop could be cool.

I've just been thinking about these ideas for a while, so I wanted to document them.

The game includes squirrels and birds already, but additional wild animals would be nice to see :)

I think there would be lots of cool things to be done with more wildlife. I loved the little quest with the bear in the secret woods. Maybe there could be more quests and events like this.

For example:
- Helping a little bird back into it’s nest​
- Collecting nuts etc for squirrels in fall​
- Discovering traps and having to clean the forest of them and finding the poachers​
- Helping some beavers chop some wood​
to name just a few. I think this could make the forest more interesting and expand on the idea of the player caring for the community and the whole valley:)

It is sounds like the best mission for my farmer! World about to blow, Rebels let's go!

Oh, this is a nice idea! Anything to add more immersion is great!

When I was reading @Jack Of Shades 's post I thought of adding something else too: animals that coat color changes based on season. Some animals like rabbits and foxes do change color for winter and then go back to their regular color during other seasons. I would be pretty cool to see white rabbits in the winter in-game and then see them go back to their usual brown every other time of the year. This is just extra thoughts at this point, but maybe there could be a heart event or extra dialogue related to this where a villager that loves animals or nature mentions it during the winter or late days of falls.
