Sorry it's been so long since our last update. We've reached a point in the game's development where new features will need more time to be completed and tested before patching in. So expect major updates to be once a month or longer. Here are the patch notes:
NEW
- Festival minigames in multiplayer added
- 'C' To Call horse from anywhere
- Quests auto sorted in the journal based on which is due first.
- Fish caught by the beach and deep ocean, can both be placed in the deep ocean tank.
- Help I'm stuck will not teleport the player to town, but instead to a nearby point.
- 10 more hairstyles have two-toned hair options added to them.
- Hybrid crops rebalanced. Most grow only in 1 season instead of 3 seasons.
FIXED
- Fixed weird chicken bouncy collision
- Fixed floating animals (hopefully)
- Fixed bug with gaining hearts quickly with chickens and hens
- Fixed incorrect icon when buying baby animals
- Fixed bug where the player could get stuck in the dressing room at the clothing shop
- Fixed bug where Evan still says Jounce Corp. is moving in despite stopping them
- NPCs should be marked on the map for all quests
- Fixed bug where music would sometimes no play after leaving certain bars.
- Misc bug fixes with npc quests
- Fixed misc typos and inconsistencies with the library
- Rebalanced tool crafting. Check for new recipe requirements for axe, pickaxe, and brush.
- Shed can now be crafted.
- Fences for Wahoo Beach have been resized (So some objects placed next to the fence before update may clip and have to be moved)
- Special pigs should drop truffles now.
- Ability to change appearance in multiplayer
- Rain Music and rain can be toggled on and off separately.
Important balance change: The hybrid crops have specific seasons that they will only grow in instead of Spring, Summer, and Fall. So be wary that if you have some growing in the wrong season they will wilt with this new patch. We apologize if it's caused any inconveniences.
There is a high chance of new bugs after a patch. Please report any bugs if you have the time and we will try to fix them ASAP. We try our best to thoroughly test everything, but we often overlook some things with how big this game is. Expect hotfixes for the next few days.
Upcoming Updates
The next major update goals are:
Opening Diamond Falls:
- Players can choose Diamond Falls as their starting town
- New NPCs added (They will only have part of their dialogue completed)
Dating NPCs:
- New heart levels conversations (Not all NPCs will be completed when we first add it)
- Triggering dating is required proposing for marriage, which will be set up later on.
We still have a lot of writing for the characters that will slowly be added. So if an NPC is lacking cutscenes or certain dialogue, we're working on it.
Thank you so much for your support. If there are any issues please make a topic on the Pumpkin Days Steam Discussions here
