Friday Progress Report 282
We have finished all the 70 critters, each with a shimmering variant
There are many types and behaviors, they are also spread out through the ingame year, so this is also the beginning of the seasons mechanic, fish and forageables will also be spread through the year, so the world will be less static starting from this update.
Included in the critter list there are lobsters, crawfish and crabs, most will be edible, but the fish cleaning mechanic will only be added next update with all the fish, so right now they don’t do much.
The Bug Net tool has a new type of special, instead of a charge up into a big move, it changes the player into Critter Sense mode, making you move slowly, but highlighting nearby critters, very useful to find camouflaged critters or little buggers hidden in tall grass, Blue colored critters are new ones, Yellow are critters you already collected before.
There is also a new screen (default key biding ‘O’) It shows the critters you collected before and shows the silhouette of the ones you haven’t seen yet, the screen is a bit empty right now, but in the future this screen will serve a small encyclopedia filled up slowly with info about critters, crops, fish and more.
This screen will also have a lot of player stats, stuff you collected so far and more miscellaneous info.
Other than collecting, critters don’t have much use right now, but they will be fish bait next update, and then pets for faeries on the following one, you can also sell them to Catarina.
