Hey Neighbours!
Hope you're all having a good one.
This update doesn't look big on paper but it crosses off a huge thing on my todo list: converting all the building events to the new cutscene system. They've all gone through text edits, positioning edits and some changes to the mini games. There have also been some changes to the event trigger times (you can trigger at more times of the day) and positioning (you can trigger more events without needing to use a specific entrance). I’ve fixed up a couple of bugs (particularly in the Man Hunt mini game) too.
All of these changes will be added to the wiki in coming weeks.
I was hoping to get a bit more into this update but unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes. Next update will be museum collections, second chances at romance, menu layout options for steamdeck and possibly furniture placement with a few items to get you started.
I’m also going to be doing a stream on Oct 25th (Friday Melbourne time)/Oct 24th (Thurs night US time) to celebrate a year since the original early access release so come join me on twitch!
See you in Garland!
<3 Violet
