- The 1.0 update is near! - 13 March 2025
I sincerely apologize for all the delays. I expected to have the 1.0 update out before the end of 2024, but there were some real life things that got in the way and I underestimated the amount of work the townspeople relationship quests would be. The good news is that the relationships are turning out really nicely! It's been a lot of fun developing all of the characters and adding the new quests and cutscenes. I still don't know exactly when things will be done, but I will be sharing a release date very soon. Things are in a "it'll be done when it's done" kind of stage. Until then, here are some GIFs of the upcoming events you'll be able to do. Restore the alarm in the Ruins so Theseus can freely explore the town Help June grow her magnum opus Beautify the town with Andres... so he can sell it!? ...along with many MANY more stories such as... Becoming a Prank-Master with Gabby Crafting…
- New Areas - August Dev Log - 9 August 2024
Hey Craftsmen and Craftsladies, It has been a few months since the last update, so I thought I'd post a little dev log about upcoming features and things that are currently being worked on. A lot of people have expressed frustration with Electric and Alloy tags being too much of a grind, so two new areas are being added to the game to help out with that. New Areas The Volcano is often mentioned in the game, but was never actually accessible. So there's a new Lava Lookout area above the Hot Springs. This area is full of Thunder Trees, which have leaves and nuts that can be a valuable source of Electric tags. Also in this area are a few defunct machines, a new cave that can grow gemstones, and Fisherman Pete seems to be eying the lava with a concerning level of interest... The next update will also allow you to access some areas of the Ruins that have been cleared out by Theseus. There ar…

- Visual Update Quick Fixes (May 12) - 12 May 2024
I've added a few QoL features, fixed a few issues, and added more tutorials to help out new players. Changed the Data tab in the Action Menu to show potential discoveries instead of raw data. Multiple tutorials added at the start of the game to better inform players. Changed the styling of letters so they can give better hints (HINT HINT) Added quest markers to the map to show the approximate area of the quest objective. Made it possible to quickly add or remove items from containers and machines by holding Shift when interacting with them. Fixed issues caused by switching tools and moving while fishing. Lowered the ambient sound of heavy rain to be more in line with other weather effects. Fixed a missing fish index when using the Vibrant Lure. Reduced GPU load of trees and other swaying objects.
