BIG CHANGE:
The intro has been condensed. You will now unlock the Request Board and Researchler on Day 2 and the last Craftsman will appear on Day 5. This should get players into the story much more quickly. If you have a saved game before these events then you should just be jumped ahead appropriately.

The Harvest Laser, Planter, and Ranch Hands will all save and use Volts appropriately
Made the Quest Started/Complete notifications a little less annoying

Added letters that appear in the player's mailbox the day before each holiday to remind them

That's right everyone! The Last Craftsman has officially launched as a finished game! You can finally reach Craftsman Rank 10 and put a stop to Gary's evil plans.
BIG UPDATES:
Story quests for everybody! Each townsperson has 3 different friendship levels and each friendship level has a detailed quest and cutscenes! (There's over 200 cutscenes now eek)
(You can't get married yet... I'm sorry I thought I was going to have time to finish it up, but marriage is coming soon)
The final 3 Craftsman Ranks are now added, delve into the dangers of Nuclear Energy and harness the power of the Galaxy!
Finally finish repairing the Ruins and stop Gary from destroying the town!
Speaking of the Ruins, you can fix the final two machines and maybe discover some secret bonus dungeons too...
I'm not done talking about the Ruins. For those with too much to do, you can also unlock the ability to send Theseus on his own automated missions.
You can climb the summit of Lava Lookout to get a firsthand look at the looming threat over Gear Springs.
You can also break your way into a chamber of the Ruins and meet a new robot who is only concerned with Fish and the corporate ladder.
MEDIUM UPDATES:
Shield cards got hard nerfed. They're still really good, but now you can only have a max of 20 shields and your shields are cleared at the start of your next turn.
Join in on several holidays in Gear Springs, each season has a little sub-activity to do.
The resources need to unlock new recipes and level up your Craftsman rank have been shrunk. Players should experience a 30-40% reduction in "grind".
Craftsman of some prestige will be granted access to a trial of the "Area of Effect" mode, allowing for massive harvest without all the heartburn...
LITTLE UPDATES:
Many MANY bug fixes.
I probably added a bunch of bugs too... let's be real this is a ramshackle one man operation and I'm doing the best I can
Casting your fishing line looks fancier and you can now get perfect casts for a jump start on the fish
A bunch of redesigned machines and improved graphics

I sincerely apologize for all the delays. I expected to have the 1.0 update out before the end of 2024, but there were some real life things that got in the way and I underestimated the amount of work the townspeople relationship quests would be.
The good news is that the relationships are turning out really nicely! It's been a lot of fun developing all of the characters and adding the new quests and cutscenes.
I still don't know exactly when things will be done, but I will be sharing a release date very soon. Things are in a "it'll be done when it's done" kind of stage.
Until then, here are some GIFs of the upcoming events you'll be able to do.
Restore the alarm in the Ruins so Theseus can freely explore the town
Help June grow her magnum opus
Beautify the town with Andres... so he can sell it!?
...along with many MANY more stories such as...

Becoming a Prank-Master with Gabby
Crafting the ultimate bass for Rachel
Discovering the true purpose of the Ruins with Marcus
Introducing James to new friends
Painting a masterpiece with Sharon
Unveiling Paul's mysterious and dramatic past
Contending with Ryan in feats of strength and skill
Conquering Carl's fear of the dark
Again, I'm very sorry that things are taking so long. This update is GIGANTIC! I've added over 100 new quests and over 200 cutscenes to the game on top of all the new items, cards, and mods that you'd expect.
It will absolutely be worth the wait!
