Happy Lunar New Years!

I've made some minor changes but working on something much bigger, including new houses and new interactable landmarks, but there was a bug with the bridge pathing so I wanted to push this fix out sooner rather than later.

But here's a fun little thing in the meantime, you can now pet all wild animals!



Here are the actual patch notes :)

[h2]Patch 1.1.18[/h2]
Additions:
- You can now pet wild creatures!
- Town borders now don’t overlap each other visually
- Added some Lunar New Year flair
- Added some upcoming items in the encyclopedia
- Added a button in the settings to turn off seasonal decorations

Here's what the new town borders look like. I think it's much nicer!



Fixes:
- Fixed some audio issues with Walkers
- Fixed an issue where AI created beast attachments wouldn’t have a name when converted
- Improved the pathability of fishing towers
- Hopefully fixed the bridge collision issues introduced in the last update
- Fixed demands and trade table locations on water
- Fixed an issue with the selection box while not playing fullscreen

Thanks for the feedback and bug reports on the Discord server.

I'm currently doing a livestream on Twitch showing off some new stuff in progress.

I've also re-opened my Patreon if you feel like you really want to help out financially :)

That's all for now, enjoy!

Hello Kaingans!
I'm thrilled to unveil the latest addition to your Kainga experience: a DLC support pack! As I alluded to in the last update, I've been working hard drawing alternative versions of all 8 Thinkers in brand-new, stylish outfits!

The main purpose of this DLC is to support development of Kainga going forward so I can continue to expand this weird and exciting world!
Here's a video to share what to expect:

[h2]Thinker Outfits Support Pack[/h2]

Love Kainga and want to see more? This official Kainga support pack is a cosmetics-only DLC that allows you to switch the outfits of all 8 Thinkers to newly designed alternatives for that extra bit of flair!

Explore parallel designs to the current Thinker outfits, each uniquely envisioned to add a touch of novelty. These designs follow the "B-Side" alternative versions of the Thinkers, released in update 1.1 . While the DLC isn't necessary to play these alternative versions, it does introduce some cosmetic flair to your gameplay!

[h2]Alternative Thinkers? Tell Me More![/h2]

Unlock the "B-Side" of each Thinker for a new starting loadout, three exciting festivals, and a bonus passive technology. Obtain these in the base game by either unlocking all basic technologies, unlocking all Thinkers, or mastering one Thinker. Once achieved, embark on a quest to access the B-Sides of Thinkers – a cool twist to your Kainga experience!

So, if you're yearning to add a touch of sophistication to your Thinkers, this cosmetic DLC awaits!

Important Note: The contents of this Pack are cosmetic only!

Here's a couple more screenshots:
