G’day mate!
I’ll tell you what, a few weeks ago we both arrived on the island - back when Dinkum came out in Early Access. I remember that day like it was yesterday, ha ha ha! Since that moment when we landed and set up our town, Dinkum received a few updates to improve the game (fixed some bugs, added the Steam Cloud save system, and much, much more). However, we can’t just stop there! So today I want to tell you just a liiiiitle bit about what's coming to the island. There are some really big rumours floating around!
Firstly, I’ve been contacted by South City, and they’ve let me know that we can soon apply for additional house deeds. Or “Guest Houses” if you will. Once you’ve applied for a Guest House deed (and supplied the building materials) you can do whatever you like with the building. Want some extra storage? That’s fine! Want a place for a friend to stay while they are visiting? Go for it! Rumour is that we can apply to build up to three of these “Guest Houses”. Very exciting!
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to offer House Customisation for free anymore. Good thing I heard John was getting some “House Customisation Kits” in stock soon. Another way for him to make a few Dinks! Ha-ho-ha-ho!
I’ve also seen a fast, sun-loving animal zooming around the island. These fellas are no doubt very good-looking, but don’t let those looks fool you! They can pack a punch if you start some trouble with them. I’ll tell you what, I am personally “frilled” to see some new wildlife. Ha-ho-ha-ho!
Now onto us! To keep up with the latest Dinkum island trends, you will be able to style yourself up using new fashion accessories. What will they be? Only time will tell! All I know is that more choice means more fun. However, I did hear that Candle Hat, as well as Miners Helmet, will change a little bit too.
Now, if you ever get a hankering for some crafting, I heard there are a bunch of new recipes for decorations and even some new recipes for tools. I believe that some of these new recipes will be given to you automatically if you already hold the correct licences.
Oh dear, look at old Fletch waffle on! Hmmm… who left this here? It’s a photo with a bunch of other new things that are coming to the island!
I’m going to go and study this photo!
Hooroo!
