This is a big increase in the file size of the current build because it includes lots of new assets, and there are also some new areas you can explore that weren’t available before or were less fleshed out previously. I was originally going to give unfettered access to everything in this build, even rooms/areas that were basically empty, but it was easy to get stuck in places you shouldn’t so I’ve blocked off access to some areas. You’ll see lots of under construction signs if you go exploring though.
What’s New
- More Mushroom Marsh to Explore. There is still a lot that is clearly in progress here, but the general layout of the content is all here so you can get a sense of the structure of this domain, and even pick up the Pogostick toy while you’re here.
- A bit of Haunted Hollow. You can see some of the Haunted Hollow and check out the Graybox enemies. They probably won’t make much sense right now without their sprites to help convey what they’re doing, but feel free to explore this area a bit and meet Alex, the Guardian of Haunted Hollow.
- Captain Sweetbeard & Bon-Bon. Some very important NPCs are now available in the game. Their sprites are still sketched in, but you can meet and chat with them. Good luck finding Bon-Bon!
- Palace Observatory. You can view the Pet Statues and some of the constellations, if you can get here. It requires some toys that are in the game, but you likely won’t be able to access them just yet. Once I get all the constellations done, I’ll make sure you all can access this so that anyone with a pet statue or pet constellation can check them out.
- Probably More…? This build accumulated a lot of work, so I probably missed some things in here that you have access to that I forgot changed or I just didn’t realize you’d be able to access just yet. There are also some things that were kind of minor so I didn’t call out (check out Mina’s new house for instance).
Known Issues
- There was an issue with the MapRenderer in the last build, which should be fixed now. If you encounter any crashes, please let me know!
Side note: if you see these /list commands inline here and weird indentation, not sure what's going on, Steam seems to be having an issue, so just ignore those for now I guess and hopefully they'll fix it.
That’ll do it for this new build. I hope to get back with another build soon with full access to all of the pet statues and constellations. Until then, thanks for playing!
