Pumpkin Patch 0.4.4 - Small patch with fixes and added a Jounce Corp. run

We're getting closer to a final release!! We don't have an exact date because we want to focus on polishing up the game as much as we can until then. However, in the meanwhile expect more frequent smaller patches with more bug fixes and more writing for the rest of the month.
PATCH NOTES
(Game may say 0.4.3 in the corner of the menu. Check the patch notes to see if you have the latest version 0.4.4 until we correct that.)

New cutscenes and items related to doing a Jounce Corp. run of the game
Misc visual fixes around the map (mostly floating grass)
A few new cutscenes added
Recycling machines added near the dumps.
Polished the 'Turn with mouse' option
On easy mode 50% of the museum will be needed for Jounce Corp. to go away, but there is no time limit.
Thank you, everyone, for your support and reporting bugs.
EDIT:
Also, we've removed the strafing movement ('Q' and 'E'). There really wasn't any reason for the side to side movement to be in the game. But if you used those keys to move around you can rebind them in the settings.

PLEASE NOTE: Since this was a large new feature we anticipate bugs. Please let us know about any issues with this patch. We try to fix bugs within 24 hrs of them being reported. We'll be doing multiple hotfixes as well throughout the week as the bugs reports roll in. If you make videos of Pumpkin Days or stream it, I always recommend waiting 3 days after we put out a pumpkin patch to allow time to fix any critical game-breaking bugs.
CLOSE TO FINAL RELEASE!
We're gearing up for coming out of early access. Possibly in November, but also possibly in December because our team needs time off for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The main last-minute additions to the game.

Add goats
Add dogs and cat as pets
Diamond Falls characters are fully dateable
Multiplayer bug fixes
Fixing navigation with the mouse and keyboard.
VOLUNTEER TESTERS APPRECIATED
I'll make an announcement again next month, but in our Pumpkin Discord Server, you can assign yourself a tester role no need to ask us to be a tester, just jump right into the community and contribute if you want. Shoutout to members on the Pumpkin Discord Server who have been reporting bugs and recommending suggestions since we launched in early access last year. You guys are amazing and the game would not have been improved to the degree it has been without your help. This also goes for players who make reports on the steam discussions thank you for alerting us to any issues.
Thank you again for your support. I hope everyone enjoys playing Pumpkin Days@

Sorry we broke the movement, it's been reversed.
We've miscalculated and over-looked somethings with the movement. No need to panic, if you get the latest patch (0.4.1.1) It should be reverted back to how it was. We do want to upgrade the movement somehow because most of our recent negative reviews have been players who rage qu

There are other miscellaneous things we fixed and polished that aren't on the list as well. Please understand there may be bugs we may have missed while implementing all these systems. If you are a streamer or make videos of Pumpkin Days I recommend waiting 3-4 days before recording anything to give us time to make emergency hotfixes and patches if needed. Thank you everyone for your patience. Definitely expect mini patches throughout the month as we fix more things.
