For older save files (before v0.4) 💛 Newly-added festivals will only be triggered if the player had slept the day before the festival, and not if the player had saved/loaded on the festival day itself. 💛 Previously scheduled Hangout Events are automatically cancelled (with no penalty) if it falls on the date of a newly-added Festival. Players may initiate the same Hangout Event with the townsfolk.
Other changes and fixes
Some of the changes, such as showing location names, were suggested by players!
- The name of key locations shows up when entering the area for the first time each day (e.g. Shimmerbrook, Garden, Woods). The names also show after starting a new play session.
- Certain UI, such as the Research Shelves, Origin Tracker, and Auto-Feeders now show if an item can be used.
- Rewrote code for getting the Fishing Rod from Sesame with slight adjustments.
- Added a Rainy (Work) Day Routine for Sesame.
- Updated Caravan Shop design.
- Fixed a conflicting dialogue bug for Suo'e if you completed the objective of the quest 'A Cave and a Relic' and have the 'A Favour for Teagan' as an active quest.
- Fixed Calendar showing 'no events today', unless hovering over the day cell.
- Other smaller fixes and changes, such as minor edits to dialogue and artwork.
📝 What's next
I'll be working on the 3rd Festival (for Autumn) in the coming weeks, which we're hoping to roll out with the localisation update. After that update, I'm thinking about working on more NPC stories/romanceables - more details to be confirmed!
Happy Gaming! 🌸☀️
