Hey Autumnsfolk!
Hope everyone’s well, I’m checking in with a summary of the release that went live this weekend.
Control mappings
The main event of this release, you now have the ability to reconfigure the mouse, keyboard and gamepad controls.
You can access this from the main menu's Settings button, or within the System tab of your journal menu. Selecting to do so will open up a page of all configurable inputs, and then you can go ahead and change each by selecting the edit icon, then entering the new key/button.
For the mouse, there's a section on the right where you can define the action for the left and right clicks. I've added all the choices that I got from a few players, but if there's additional requests then please get in touch. I very rarely use this feature myself in games, so I looked around at how other similar games do this, but I'm sure there's something I missed!
I've been meaning to add this since entering early access, so even though it took a while and I think most of you probably won't make use of it, I'm still pleased that it's done.
Umbrellas!
When it's raining, your fellow Autumnsfolk will now be carrying their umbrellas with them. Well, all but Thimba who generally disapproves!
Additional issues fixed
- Ruth wasn't always setting her quest 'The holy trinity of livestock'. If this effected your save, then the quest will be activated when you next load the game
- Rose could be seen sleeping and in her pen at the same time
- Lee's path to the library was blocked by picnic tables
- Increased the chance for Golden Water Lilly seeds at the merchants
What's next?
A bunch of content is already at the finish line, including seasonal music, and new Steam artwork which I'll be putting live soon. My next big piece is adding achievements, and other than that it's all new gameplay content until leaving early access.
Thanks for reading, any issues or questions please let me know!
Scott
