  Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. Here is a minor update with some quality of life improvements. - Fixed collision on planter outside by wall. - Adjusted when quests expire to be longer. Some quests (such as the 3rd) were too short of a duration for starting the game and learning where everything is, planting and researching. - The amount of time left for a quest now shows up when you open the quest. - Gold, Karma, and the Day number now appear for the duration the reward letter is opened. - Lantern Fire is removed for "Low" graphical settings. - Added a couple karma to most quests, particularly hard quests or ones with a difficult client. - Bumped up karma for low paying quests. - Bumped up gold reward by 5-15 per quest. - Lowered fireplace volume slightly as it was a bit loud. - Fixed menu music not looping with new engine upgrade. - Birds are louder outside now. They were ha…

  Hey Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well in these strange times. Here is a relatively big update for the game. - Added LUT (colour look-up table for post processing colour adjustment). - Added a plant preview. When a player now holds a seed/spore bag over an acceptable garden patch a preview of the fully grown plant will be displayed. - Changed brick material. - Added seeds to extend how long a pigeon stays around for (Feed them with the interact button, default is "E" for keyboard). - Added pigeon whistle to call the next pigeon in the queue. - Added an outside. - Moved poetry book outside. - Upgraded engine to 4.24. This fixed a wall seam visual issue that was introduced with the last upgrade to 4.21. - Added it so if you accidentally take something out and don't want it you can just put it back by dropping it over where you took it out. If you put a quest or reward letter in one o…

• Patch Notes 01/03/2020 - 3 January 2020

  Hey everyone! Happy New Year! Here is a very important update fixing a bug that came to my attention recently. I pushed the build last night so please make sure to update the game! - Fixed a bug where a pop-up could interrupt the Hazard game in some instances. - Fixed a bug where a quest would get in a state where it could not spawn as intended. - Added Current Quest Status Almanac. This allows you to view the status of all incomplete quests currently available in the queue (whether they are active, inactive, expired or already received an item). - Added Hint Almanac. - Added extra explanation to distinguish a fly trap from insect repellent. - Added fireplace extinguish SFX.

• Patch Notes 05/03/2019 - 3 May 2019

  Hey everyone, here is a small update. I know some of you have bought the game and are under the minimum required specs (but can still run the game) so I've added it in that if a player selects LOW shadows and/or textures then various "fluff" items with a lot of shader complexity will be deleted. This will help reduce the load on your graphics card. The items to be deleted on low shadows and/or textures are as follows: - Dust particle effect. - Coal fire on the stairs (this is dynamic lighting along with a particle emitter which is costly, gets replaced by a static light). - Several vine leaves. - Several wood whips scattered throughout the level. - Several leaves that are scattered through the level. Other stuff: - Fixed physics material sound SFX for wood (this broke in the UE4 engine update from 4.19 to 4.21 but I originally missed it). - Improved Volume balancing for SFX. - Added ope…

• Major Update 01/18/2019 - 18 January 2019

  Hey all, Here is a major update. There are no more known bugs. If you want to report one, please use the support email ([email protected]). Patch notes: - Added an extra screen that says seeds need to be planted and watered on start of game if no save file exists. - Added pop-up that says if a non craft-able item being placed in the crafting zone is not craft-able. - Added pop-up if player puts item on pick up table but there is no pigeon there explaining item is lost and to wait for pigeon. - Added extra logic if player puts a quest where the pigeon will pick up an item, the quest/reward letter will be placed back on quest table. - Added extra fail-safe to check if no saved file exists then to spawn player at location on level load. - Added several changes to make the game easier. At the end of the day, the game isn't supposed to be stressful so the added changes should help…

• Patch Notes 01/07/2019 - 7 January 2019

  Enhancements and Fixes: - Changed minimum mouse sensitivity on the slider from 20 to 1. - Added Music Volume Slider in Pause Menu. - Adjusted crow caw audio balancing. - Changed trees and ivy from being bare for the winter months to just December and January. Extended autumn colours into November and green trees to start in February to reduce bare foliage time. - Moved player spawn a bit farther away from the door and raised it by two pixels. - Moved teleport zone up higher. This was made in case a player was able to throw a quest or reward letter out the window. This way the quest/reward would not be lost. I added it to include re-spawning the player inside the building if they got out of bounds. It was brought to my attention in one of the recent comments that someone was able to get out of bounds by accident. If anyone has any replication instructions/information on this very serious…

• Patch Notes 01/06/2019 - 6 January 2019

  Just a quick update to say that anyone who has downloaded Dear Apothecary on Linux prior to today's store page update should uninstall and redownload the game to fix a plugin issue that is unique to the Steam Linux version (if the Auto-Update does not fix the issue). Steam was including both the Win64 and Linux version causing an incompatibility issue. This is now fixed. If anyone has any questions, comments, etc then please either send an email to the support email or post in the discussions! :)

• Linux Build 01/02/2019 - 2 January 2019

  Happy New Year everyone and hope you all had a good holiday! The Linux build is finally here! I strongly recommend an updated Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and to make sure you are NOT using an old, outdated AMD card. If anyone has any questions, comments, etc then don't be afraid to contact the support email! :)

• Patch Notes 12/21/2018 - 21 December 2018

  Happy Holidays everyone! Here are the changes in the latest patch: Added a "Help" almanac on the bottom floor. Fixed timing on animations for the pigeons and crows leaving the window without an item. Fixed particle effect that played indefinitely if a quest was placed on the pick up table if no pigeon was there. Fixed odd rotation of quests if they were thrown forcefully. Fixed minor typos. Added a Windows 32 bit version. The Linux version should be up early in 2019.

• Patch Notes 12/05/2018 - 6 December 2018

  Hey all, I just released an update for Dear Apothecary with the following changes: Hanging garlic LOD adjusted. Added reminder to do the entrance exam (sorry procrastinators). Added camera sensitivity slider to pause menu for mouse/controller input. Fixed bug that didn't allow the player to read the negative game over letter, it originally just showed game over screen. Fixed loading bug that didn't allow the game to load properly if the player never accessed the main menu options. Over the coming weeks I plan to add a windows 32-bit and Linux version of the game. If anyone has any questions, comments or suggestions then please feel free to send me an email through support! :)
