Friendly fox - Natural trader
Contemplating the change of studio logo, I had an idea to keep the fox connected to the game.

Similar to the trader and beach-combing, there could be a natural albeit random trade system with an elusive fox.
I'm thinking you leave a ptarmigan/rabbit in certain spots, and on rare occasion, you may later find in return natural materials that eventually run out, e.g. medicine/food plants, or even birch/maple. If you're lucky, maybe a fleeting visual of it - like the travelling crows.

To be clear I'm not suggesting pet/companion like mechanics - this isn't the game for it imo - nor do I think the fox should be able to be hunted as they'd be too clever for that.

I thought to share as it seemed like a fun way to integrate the studio heritage within the game lore and mechanics 🦊
