Snacko News

Hooray!
So, I played my own file for a few hours yesterday, and tried thinking about what kind of improvements or polish we could do quickly before the start of the Winter Sale.

And we agreed to settle on...
[h3]The map![/h3]

The map, for the longest time, wasn't too useful. Sure, I guess it told you which way the Grassy Plains were, but that's about it.

So, drum roll please...

Ta-da~!
It's also set up better now for us to add more to it in the future when we work on the major updates.

With this map you can...

• view villager relationships and if you've given them a gift today
  
• view shop and house names, as well as their opening hours
  
• view barn and livestock names
  
• see where the fishing spots are (yellow fish are freshwater spots, blue fish are saltwater spots)
  
• see where points of interest or warp zones to other areas
  

The mini-map is also updated to be the same as the main map. Some maps, like the Desert Canyon, should match your position on the map much better now as well.



We hope this helps new and returning players alike.
We did sort of um, kind of cram this map into 24 hours of work...so both of us kinda need to go chill out for a day now. Then, it's back to work on the mines.

[h3]📬 Other[/h3]

• Fixed issue with crafting dropdown not being full width
