Hello everyone,
I hope you're all settled in with your favorite cup of tea! My name is Sammi, and it's an absolute pleasure to lead today's Critter Cove tourism board. Anchor is a bit tied up hunting down his office keys, so he kindly asked me to step in, and I couldn't say no to lending a hand to a friend! Here in our little community, we always strive to help each other.
Firstly I’ve got some big news! The Critter Cove closed beta playtest will begin on Steam on September 26th! If you’ve got a Twitch or a YouTube channel and want to hang out with us even earlier, let us know, and we’ll see if we can help you out!
And if you haven’t signed up yet, now is the perfect time!
Allow me to introduce you to some important members of our community. You're likely to cross paths with them frequently, given the fascinating things you discover on your journeys. You truly inspire us all to be better versions of ourselves!
Meet Euphemia Stompanie Woolington, affectionately known as Effie. She’s the brains behind the Critter Cove museum, cataloging and restoring the artifacts you uncover for public display. She’s got a wicked sense of humor and a real nose for interesting discoveries!
Then there's Mishell – a true-blue artist! Her talent knows no bounds; she captures beauty in everything. And hey, it's extra impressive, because she's often on the glass-half-empty side of life. Whenever you stumble upon something nice to capture, take it straight to Mishell!
Our town is rich with many other Critters you'll come to know, but there’s even more of us out there who haven’t joined our community yet, and every storm leads more people to becoming shipwrecked here! You’ll have the opportunity to build relationships with them, and the stronger your relationships, the more they'll be willing to assist you.
There’s plenty of room here in town for new residents… but don’t be surprised when they ask YOU to fix up one of the old houses, being as how you’re so good at that sort of thing! I know, it’s going to be quite a bit of work turning this place into a bustling town… but hey, it's better than sand in your shorts, right?
Enhancing the town with decorations and goodies will also boost Critter happiness, depending on their preferences. The artsy types will flip for a painting easel, while the chill ones will happily relax in a hammock!
In fact, your Town Rank won't budge unless Critter Cove's happiness gets a boost! I know you're juggling lots, and it might feel like herding cats (and sharks, and lizards) but hang tight! I'll back you up as best I can.
Everyone's got their tale!
When you're off on those missions to rescue shipwrecked Critters, you'll catch wind of all sorts of stories. Your job? Lend a helping hand and recruit them to help our town blossom! These Critters come in all flavors – some might be a bit scary (or sulky) like Pokee... but I think if anyone can turn them around to our little community, it’s you! You'll handle 'em like a pro! After a little favor, they'll be itching to hop on your boat and join Critter Cove!
That about covers what Anchor wanted me to share today. Thanks a ton for tuning in and all your hard work! And don't forget, there's still time to sign up for our Closed Beta before it goes live on September 26th!
