Edengrall News

We have been busy with the other work this week, there was an update this wednesday with a tiny little bit of new content and a few bugfixes.



Look for Phantom Mint bushes in the cliffs during winter, it is a very sweet flower and sugar can be made from it. As for the new critter Frederick will tell you about it during winter or early spring.

After this weekend we should get some time to focus on Edengrall and start implementing the aquariums.

Sorry for the short report.

Features:
Added Phantom Mint wild flower, it grows on cliffs during winter
Added a new rare critter, Frederick can tell you about it

Changes:
Changed how the game manages Guarapo and Sugar inherited tags

Bugfixes:
Fixed an issue where the player character would slide down slopes very slowly
Fixed an where the fishing song kept playing if you slid into the water during fishing
Fixed an issue with the amount picker for the cooking window in specific circunstances

All critters and fish now have trivia tips, they are spread out through the NPCs, so speak to them now and then to get some knowledge. Keep in mind some NPCs like Meru and Elly will only start giving trivia when they are more comfortable with you, also NPCs will only give trivia on critters and fish that are in season, so talk to them every few days to make sure you won't miss on the spawn window for something you don't have yet.

Once you gain knowledge on a critter or fish you haven't caught yet, you will get the name, description and spawn locations on the collections window. To unlock the icons you have to actually catch them.

The next updates will be related to the museum and later map expansion, as it was decided by the poll in the discord, we will start by allowing the player to place fish in the aquariums in the basement, doing so will lower your debt when playing in Survival Mode.

The library will be filled with books, most of them will just give you a bit of skill experience and knowledge on critters/fish that are out of season, but actual books will also be present.



After the NPC AI overhaul they will take note on your museum contributions, Until then their reactions will be very limited.
