Big stuff
- A new character to meet: Nora, a traveling inventor and salesperson. Try out her triple-shot bow, and heavy rod, while you're hiking the country!
- A new mini-game: Cooking! There are a variety of pots and pans you can collect to cook with. (Make sure to talk to Robin on your way out, to get your first pot!)
- CRT filter, for extra nostalgia.
- After winning the game, you now unlock a music player.
- The "new game" UI has been simplified, making it easier to choose your character's appearance.
Medium-ish stuff
- Fish and bird quantities now vary with the seasons, following patterns inspired by real life.
- At the conclusion of hunting, fishing (and cooking), the exact food that each bird, fish (and cooking ingredient provided) is now shown.
- There's a couple new "rare" treasures you can find in chests around the world.
- The game now prefers to show you episodes of stories you've already started, rather than starting brand new ones.
- When a town is followed by a town, you may be able to rent a stagecoach to get you speedily from one to the next.
- The "Treasures" window now supports paging (previously, if there were too many items for one screen, the extras got cut off by the edge of the game window!)
- Fixed a crash if you left town with a skill point, AND the game wanted to warn you that you were dangerously low on food.
- More "random hookup" villager graphics, two new stories, more town & tavern backgrounds for those stories, AND you can now choose to "look around" while visiting a town's hot springs - more graphics, there, too! ;)
- The final episode of Kitka's story now includes a dialog choice.
Smaller stuff
- Fishing ends automatically once there's nothing but logs left.
- Rain now has a cooling effect - no more 80° showers!
- It can now snow even if the temp is above 32° - just like in real life!
- There are a couple new types of fish to fish!
- When you've drained your stamina during hunting, the hunting reticle now flashes, as well.
- If you've looked at the game logs, you may have seen worrying-looking error messages related to intiface central (the software that lets you use bluetooth-enabled toys with the game). These weren't really errors; the message has been cleaned up, to be less worrying-looking.
- Some text tweaks and typo fixes across the game.
And that's it!
This release will be out soon - hopefully in just a few days! Have fun ;)
