Dinkum News

G’day!

I can’t believe the response Dinkum has received. I would have never predicted this kind of reaction. I spent four years imagining Dinkum’s release into the world, but the response has been absolutely incredible.

A few hours before pushing that release button, I saw how many of you were waiting to play Dinkum - the Dinkum Discord was buzzing! You showed me so much support, love, and encouragement. I don’t know what to say. except thank you. You are the best community a dev could ever ask for. And thanks to you, Dinkum is in the top selling games on Steam! That’s amazing! Your support is really something else!

Thank you once again for everything. I am happy that I could bring a little slice of Australiana to your lives. And I will continue to work on this game through the Early Access phase, to make it even more enjoyable. And don’t forget, I want this game to grow with the community, so all your suggestions and comments are being noted.

Oh, and there are a few more people I’d like to thank, so, I’ve added some credits into the main menu of Dinkum.

Alright, I have to get back to doing some bug fixes. We will talk soon though! This is just the beginning of the adventure.


Thank you once again and speak to you soon,

James

Just a couple of small bug fixes and features.

• Added an option to make the mini map always face north
  
• Fixed a bug where the lawnmower didn’t work for visitors
  
• Fixed a bug where placing containers underground would instantly fill them with axes
  
• Fixed another bug where some players could not progress to the next day.
  
• Added Credits
  

This is mainly a quick weekend patch for people who have been stuck on a single day unable to progress. There are some other little fixes as well.

• Fixed a bug where some people would get locked in the save screen due to a bug in sending mail.
  
• Fixed an issue with the shady visitor not giving items after purchasing them.
  
• Fixed an issue where the lobby setting could be changed by accident after clicking the host game button in multiplayer.
  
• Franklyn and villagers will no longer offer recipes for certain items that can’t be crafted (Including golden statues, animal food, animal feeders, old sign and whistles)
  
• Motorbikes now have a map marker.
