- Update Notes For Dec 14 Hotfix - 14 December 2024
Hello everyone. A user reported a bug that caused the game to freeze. It was an issue that occurred when moving from the Ranch to the Stores the after seeing Koby's green heart event. I thought that the game freezing was a big issue, so hotfix was released with this bug fixed first. I appreciate to all the users who provided feedback. I will continue to improve the gameplay experience. If you find any other issues, please let me know by Steam Discussion or the official Discord server. Thank you!
- update Notes For Dec 11 - 11 December 2024
Adds: - You can now craft 'Grass Sculpture' at the crafting table. When you place a 'Grass Sculpture' in ranch, weeds will no longer grow. This was added to reduce the hassle of having to manage weeds in ranch every time, and to also serve as a decorative element. - When it gets dark in the evening, streetlights installed throughout the town will turn on. - You can now use the help app with a controller. Changes: - Changed the color of the 'Mayonnaise Maker' image to be cleaner - Changed the color of the 'Oil Extractor' image to be cleaner Bug fixes: - Fixed the colors of the fur obtained from the pink rabbit and the yellow rabbit were swapped - Fixed unlocking potions in the potion shop did not require money, but could not be progress when the money was below a certain level - Fixed the number of materials required to unlock 'Treasure Chest Potion' in the potion shop was not counted -…
- Update Notes For Dec 6 - 6 December 2024
Improvements - From now on, when you open the Quest app, the unlocked items will be displayed first. Pressing the Sort button will sort by unlocked items first or quest ID ascending order. - You can show or hide resident icons by pressing the Filter button in the Map app. Addes - Add three new quests called 'Expand new area'. The goal for 'Expert Ranch Owner', which is unlocked by clearing 'Ranch Rookie', was too high, so I decided that there should be quests that acts as a bridge between the two quests so that many users can follow the goal. - Add three magic accessories that increase the growth rate of animals. Each item can be obtained as a quest reward or a village construction reward. Changes - The fishing shop's closing day has been changed from Friday to Monday. I thought that if the fishing shop and blacksmith are closed on the same day, there would be significant restrictions o…
- Update Notes For Nov 29 - 29 November 2024

(The exact number is not shown on purpose.) - It will show you the detailed information of the selected resident on the right side of the screen.

Codex app changes - The size of the fish detailed informa…
- Update Notes For Nov 25 - 24 November 2024
Convenience Improvement There was a opinion that it was difficult to know today in the calendar app, so I changed the background color of today's date to make it easier to see at a glance. Changes I changed the following two things to make the game easier to feel by increasing the income sources in the early part of the game. - Changed the selling price of Herb from 0 Jelly to 2 Jelly. - Changed the ranch to have grasses growing here and there on the first day of the game. Additions - Added Discord button on the bottom left of the title screen. Clicking the button will connect to the official Discord server. - Added layouts when using a controller in 'Option - Controls'. - Added a controller image to show which function is mapped to which button when using a controller in 'Option - Controls'. The button positions in the image may be slightly different from the actual controller. Bug Fix…
- Update Notes For Nov 19 (Opened Discord server and Change controls) - 19 November 2024
Discord server opened I created a Discord server to receive your opinions, bug reports, etc. smoothly. Since I am not familiar with Discord, I have hired a Discord manager to help me run Discord for a while. The manager will manage the server and respond to users for about 2~3 months, but the period may change. I will also check Discord from time to time. You can enter Discord through the link below. https://discord.gg/XwRXkRYKXu Improved convenience Change control keys From now on, you can change the control keys as you like in Options - Controls. (Some special keys such as Insert and Home are not possible) If you configure the control keys only with the keyboard without a mouse, some functions may not work. I will support perfect control without a mouse through a future update. I tested various things on my own, but since I modified a large part of the game, there may be parts that I…
- Update Notes For Nov 7 - 7 November 2024
New Items - Fence Added 25 types of fences and fence gates. The number of fences you can make has increased by default, and fences that can be made by learning the crafting instruction have been added. Fence crafting instructions can be purchased at the Acorn Studio (carpenter's shop). Convenience Improvement I received feedback that the left and right mouse icons were difficult to distinguish, so I changed the colors of the two icons to make them easier to see at a glance. Difficulty Ease - Reduced the number of eggs required to repair an elevator. Also, the number of eggs required varies depending on the difficulty. - When using a Fishing Rod or Copper Fishing Rod, the probability of easy fish appearing has been increased by approximately 3 times compared to before. All other fishing rods have the same probability of fish appearing. Added Features - You can now open the map directly v…
- Update Notes For Oct 27 - 27 October 2024
Optimization Fixed the occasional brief lag in the game. If you are still experiencing this issue, please leave a comment with your CPU, GPU, and RAM specifications. The lag that occurs when there are many animals in the ranch is still being resolved. Improved convenience Changed the UI so that you can purchase multiple items in the store in units of 10 or 100, not just 1. You can change the number by pressing the button with the mouse, or by using WASD based on the basic control keys. Reduced difficulty When you faint from hunger, you lose a fixed amount of money, which I judged to be a factor that greatly reduces motivation in the early stages of the game when you are not yet familiar with the game. To prevent this, you will now lose a certain percentage of your holdings, and an upper limit has been set. The percentage and upper limit vary depending on the difficulty and the year of t…
- Update Notes For Oct 19 - 18 October 2024
New feature - Help app (Tutorial enhancement) There were many opinions that the tutorial did not provide enough information, so I added a help app to supplement this. Information available in the Help app is unlocked according to the game progress. You can check game-related information at any time by opening the Help app. Those who were playing the game before may feel that the help opens at a somewhat unexpected time, but the help app is not forced to open very often, so please read it lightly and move on. In this version of the Help app, I have put the text translated with a translator, and I am currently translating it to a translation company. As soon as the translation is complete, I will replace the text. Bug fix Fixed the screen shaking differently than intended when you first go to the mine entrance. Next update goal I would like to prioritize game optimization and bug fixes. I…
- Update Notes For Oct 16 - 16 October 2024
Optimization: - Improved performance when there are many animals raised in the ranch. - Improved performance when there are many moving characters (player, residents, animals). - Improved water tile animation performance. Changes: - Starting from the 100th floor of the mine, elevators used to appear in 10-floor units, but now they all appear in 5-floor units. - Instead of elevators appearing more frequently, the mines get slightly wider each time you reach a certain floor. - This was done to prevent cases where sudden floor unit changes were often mistaken for bugs. Add: The hour and minute hands of the clock tower in the Complex move according to the game time. Bug Fixes: - Fixed one of the Kana romance event cutscenes where Kana's direction was set incorrectly. - Fixed one of the Rumi romance event cutscenes where the direction was incorrect. - Fixed one of Lloyd's romance event cutsc…
- Update Notes For Oct 15 - 14 October 2024
Changes The number of ores required to craft tools in the Smithy has been reduced, and products that can be obtained from animals have been added as materials. These changes were made to reduce the dependency on Mine and strengthen Ranch Management. Since tools are consumable items with durability, the number of materials required has been set to a small number. (Varies depending on difficulty) The cost required to craft all fishing rods have been reduced. Convenience Improvements - If there is no bait in the bag when casting a fishing rod, a speech bubble will be displayed to inform you. - To prevent accidentally returning to the title screen or quitting the game from the pause menu, a confirmation window will now appear when pressing a button to confirm whether you really want to proceed. - To prevent the speech bubble from being covered by the tooltip when giving a gift to residents,…
- Update Notes For Oct 14 - 13 October 2024
New Features Selling Animals You can now sell animals. I've added a button to sell animals to the information UI that appears when you interact with an animal. Choose which one you think is more profitable: keeping the animal and selling it at the right time. The selling price of an animal depends on its intimacy level and age. - The higher the intimacy level of the animal, the higher the selling price. - When the age exceeds a certain point, the older it gets, the lower the price. - The Easy difficulty is not affected by age because the animal's lifespan is infinite. Magic Accessories I had previously disabled the effects of some magic accessories due to problems with their effects, but now you can gain various effects when you wear accessories. Each accessory has different effects, such as increasing maximum HP and movement effects. Magic accessories can be obtained through various ro…
- Update Notes For Oct 10 - 10 October 2024
After adding various things and fixing bugs, I tried to upload an updated version, but I found an urgent issue, so I'm uploading a new version. You can now craft or buy buckets. Previously, buckets were only available as a gift when you first start the game. If you sold them or used that as cooking ingredients, you would not be able to water animals, which would prevent you from progressing further in the game. To prevent this, buckets can now be crafted at the Workbench, and purchased at the Animal Shop. You can get a new bucket in either way. Bug fixes: - Fixed the UI on the left side of the screen not disappearing when pressing the X button when doing House Construction in the carpenter's shop - Fixed a pixel of a certain hairstyle not being filled in when swinging a tool - Fixed the skirt color appearing as purple during some animations, such as when squating or standing up - Fixed…

- Update Notes For Oct 07 - 6 October 2024
Tooltip Added - Tooltips appear when you hover over some interactable objects or when the player gets close to them. - Tooltips can be turned on or off in the options. Difficulty Reduction The overall difficulty has been slightly reduced by adjusting Processing Tools and the amount of HP restored by food. Details are as follows: 1) Processing tools - Reduced the overall item production time and increased the selling price of item by processing tools. - Decent Animal Feed Maker 20 minutes -> 30 minutes - Good Animal Feed Maker 40 minutes -> 30 minutes - Great Animal Feed Maker 60 minutes -> 30 minutes - Oil Extractor 60 minutes -> 40 minutes - Fermenter 150 minutes -> 100 minutes - Mayonnaise Maker 150 minutes -> 120 minutes - The selling price of Cooking Oil made with the Oil Extractor has been slightly increased. - The selling prices of items made with the Fermenter and Mayonnaise Make…
- Update Note For Oct 05 - 4 October 2024
Modified Slaughterhouse Meat Fat Sales Price The price of meat fat that can be purchased at the slaughterhouse was cheaper than the cooking oil that can be made from the oil extractor, so it was easy to print money using it. I decided that this did not fit the direction of the game where manage a ranch. So changed the price of meat fat sold at the slaughterhouse from 60 Jelly to 94 Jelly. It is still profitable to make cooking oil using meat fat obtained through slaughtering, not purchased meat fat. Changes: - The amount of ore required to make an ingot has been changed from 1 to 5. - Increased the overall time required of Processing Tool. Bug Fixes: - Fixed a bug where the grade icon was not displayed in the item UI at the bottom of the screen. - Fixed a bug where player could use smartphone while fishing. - Fixed a bug where 1 quest was cleared immediately after the intro ended.
