Hey everyone!
We’ve got some very cool news to share as today we’ve launched the ‘Family Fun’ update for Adorable Adventures! As you might guess from the title, this update introduces lots of exciting new content focused on Boris’ brothers and sisters including the ability to interact and customise each sibling, improved sibling behaviour and animations, and a totally new hide & seek mini-game to enjoy!
Interact with Boris’ siblings
You can now interact with Boris’ family in several ways. First press the ‘oink’ button to get the group's attention and then walk up to the individual sibling you want to interact with. If Boris is holding an item, he can give this item to his brother or sister. You can also retrieve held items in the same way, which is super helpful when you’re trying to gather several items for a specific task! For extra cuteness we’ve also added the option to play.
Decorations for everyone
Boris’ brothers and sisters can now be individually customised with any decoration that he has unlocked during his adventures. Navigate to the entry for the decoration in the notebook and you’ll now find options to assign to individual siblings.
Bigger personalities
Gary, Mimi, Belle, Justine, Olivier, and Rock all have very different personalities and so we’ve added unique animations and reactions for each sibling to really showcase their individuality! On top of this, we’ve polished the family’s follow behaviour to reflect these changes. Finally, siblings will now join in with certain activities such as scent identification, mudbathing, and showering.
New hide & seek mini-game
After finishing the main quest Boris can now ask his mother if it’s okay to play a game of hide and seek with his brothers and sisters. When the mini-game starts the siblings will each be assigned a random scent and will hide themselves somewhere in the park, with Boris needing to follow each scent in order to track them down. But it’s not quite that simple! As the scents are randomly assigned they could also include ones that have yet to be fully identified, and if a sibling sees Boris they’ll run away which means he’ll have to chase them down and catch them! Once you find each sibling you’ll be rewarded with a photograph showing the moment you found them displayed on board next to Max’s cabin.
Explore inside Max’s cabin
The door to Max’s cabin is now open which means that Boris can explore inside! There are all sorts of interesting things to look at including three curious displays on the wall. What could they mean? Could this be another mystery to solve?
