Hello everyone! There's a new update for Orange Season out there, with a lot of new stuff, check out the changelog:
New Skin Color
When creating your character, you now have a third skin color available. If you want to try it, you can access the early access settings by checking the bookcase inside your character's house.
New Farm Area
You can now buy an extra area for your farm. You can't sow any seeds in this new area, but it is perfect to raise all of your animals. Talk to Julia in the City Hall if you want to buy it, but be prepared: it is expensive.
You can move all of your animals to the new farm area by picking up the buildings they live on and placing them there.
House Expansion
You can now order your first house expansion from Raphael. It has no pratical effect yet, but you can already work towards expanding it.
New Items
Three new items have been added:
- Gold Ore
- Ruby (Rare)
- Big Blue Crystal (Extremely Rare)
The Big Blue Crystal is extremely rare and can only be found near silver mining areas.
The Gold Ore can be used to make Gold Ingots.
New Tool Upgrades
Your Axe, Hammer, Hoe and Sickle can now be upgraded to Gold Level.
Your Watering Can can now be upgraded to Ruby Level.
Miner's Guild and Gold Mine
The Miner's Guild was added to the game. It's located in Rock Town and is currently the only accessible building there. When you enter it, you'll see a familiar face: Roberto.
You can talk to him to join the Miner's Guild and get access to the Gold Mine.
The Gold Mine has plenty of gold to mine, but occasionally you can also find rubys there.
Bank and Debt System
Starting with this version, you can talk to Julia to access your savings account on the Orchard National Bank. You can deposit and withdraw money from it and also view your debt list.
You start the game with a debt from the money that your parents lent to you to buy your first farm. You don't really need to pay it as your parents aren't charging anything extra, but if you register another debt, you better be careful about the interest rate.
Mining Silver is now easier
There's a very small area where you can mine silver inside the Iron Mine. If you neglect breaking all the other rocks that show up there, in a few days there would be no space for the silver rocks to spawn. Starting with this version, there will be no trash stones in silver mining areas, so that you don't have to waste time and stamina breaking them to increase the chance of silver spawning.
Rebalanced some item prices
I have changed the price and availability of some items to try and keep the game balanced. I'll continue to work on this on the next update, so items may change price again.
Bug Fixes
As usual, all bugs found since the last update have been fixed. Some of the fixes have already been uploaded during the week.
If you find any new bug in the game, please let me know. You can comment here, send an email or anything else (though I won't be able to read smoke signals or receive carrier pigeons).
