0.9.3_7464 Hotfix 🦊 House cutscene softlocks & NPCs not saying hello
Remember the issue where if you had a lot of stuff, Nobu Jr. wouldn't show up to deliver your purchase? So we implemented a fix that they will look for somewhere to stand even if the area around your house was filled with buildables, even if it meant Bibbles had to stand on the roof.
Well, this fix is now applied to all the story cutscenes as well to prevent softlocking if you placed your house with objects in front, like trees.

Another fix is talking to certain NPCs in the morning could result them in just not saying anything at all.
Yesterday, we also pushed a couple of patches for:
We're currently working on some map polish and quest system re-hauling as part of our NPC polish, so you'll see smaller hotfix patches like this as we work on bigger system things parallel to keeping our eyes out for issues or balance tweaks.
Thank you for playing~
