Moonlight In Garland News

[p]Hey Neighbours! [/p][p][/p][p]Hope you’re having a good week, it’s super cold here in Melbourne right now! Today’s update is pretty important because not only is it a whole new version number, it also marks the start of Garland’s next stage: exiting Early Access![/p][p]I’ll be making a full announcement soon with an updated Roadmap and dates but let me give you the short version now.[/p][p][/p][p]TL:DR: [/p]

• [p] Garland’s coming out of Early Access soon[/p]
• [p] Still gonna be actively working on it and releasing updates like usual[/p]
• [p] Price is going up to US$14.99 from next Monday (Melbourne time)[/p]
• [p] Bug reports will be moving to a new ticket system so I can keep track easier[/p]
• [p] New updated roadmap incoming[/p]
• [p] You’re awesome!

[p][/p][p]I’ve pretty much passed my original plans for pre-release content, the core gameplay and stories are complete, I’ve added a lot of mechanics that weren’t in the plans, made adjustments based on your feedback and even though my to do list is still looooong with stuff I want to add, I don’t want to stagnate and I think we’re in a good spot to move forward. [/p][p][/p][p]So what’s changing in terms of development? [/p][p]Not much! I’m still going to be doing monthly updates with new content, fixing bugs and working on things just like I’ve been doing the whole time.[/p]

• [p]Garland is a living breathing city and cities grow and evolve over time. So when I make updates in the future, you’ll see the City Council doing construction in game. [/p]
• [p] To help with bug reports I’m in the middle of moving to a new more reliable ticketing system so more info on that soon![/p]

[p][/p][p]Exiting Early Access is pretty scary to be honest. With something as big as Garland, nothing ever feels and getting this far has been a huge learning curve and I’m still loving every minute of it.[/p][p][/p][p]One last important thing, this is the last week you’ll be able to purchase Garland at its current price. From next Monday the price will be increasing to the full price of US$14.99. There will be a discount around release but it probably will never be this low again.[/p][p][/p][p]Garland has become an amazing community and I can’t wait to keep growing along with the city together![/p][p]

Hey Neighbours!

Hope you're having a good month! It's finally getting colder here in Melbourne and I'm excited for winter!

This update marks a huge behind the scenes milestone in terms of development as almost all the content on the original early access roadmap is complete. It's hard to reflect this accurately in the changelog but I've rebuilt almost all of the systems stuff to a manageable state now. So instead of chasing my tail redoing my previous work, from here I can focus on new content, fixing bugs and polishing the gameplay so it's . That means adding more of your requests, pets, furniture, collectables, jobs, donatables and more mini games.

Festivals:
There are 6 new festivals in Garland to celebrate throughout the seasons including a special event to ring in the new year by watching the midnight fireworks from your rooftop with your friends.
The rest of the festivals are like fun traveling markets with exclusive furniture and food to enjoy but as the Garland City Council expands it's budget I'll be adding more mini games and relationship events to them all as well.

Herbs:
You'll now find wild herbs sprouting all over Garland, use your cutters to snip them and you can collect all kinds of useful plants. These will be used for cooking and brewing herbal teas so start building a collection now. Don't forget to check out the beach for shells and the farm/mountains for mushrooms in autumn.

Speaking of foraging, the beach and university areas are now open to explore, though the Council is being slow at approving permits for new buildings there...

Save files:
This update is a big update to the format of save files which will allow better compatibility as well as straight up text editing of files. I've tried super hard to make everything as compatible as possible but I always recommend backing up your save file before upgrading and, as always, if you have any problems with the upgrade: just reach out in the discord and I'm happy to help!

We're holding a community movie night in the Garland discord community in early June, I'll be sharing behind the scenes stuff so make sure you drop by!

Thank you as always for sticking around with me this long, it's been a hell of a year so far and I'm excited for what's coming to Garland next!

Hey Neighbours!

Hope you’ve all been well! Time is flying but things are ticking along and I have a chunky update for you today, here are the most exciting bits:

Move apartments!
Regret your life choices after moving in to a specific building? Well now you can move to a bigger apartment or a different building. Each building has layouts for studio/1/2/3 bed apartments and each have their own quirks. Pay off your generous and then check the listings at the desk in Quality Real Estate to see what’s available and get to packing~

Personal and professional rank progressions!
You can now track and improve your progress at various job/personal aspects of life in Garland. Each area has 5 rankings to max out as you live your life and when you level up to a new rank, you’ll get new perks including things like: better sale prices for items, better earnings, better spawn, tool use or harvest rates etc.

Buffs!
In addition to the buffs you can get from ranking up a category, there are also now buffs applied with certain items eg. wearing the speedy shoes will boost your walking speed. You can also purchase Hannah’s Buffins (Buff Muffins, she thinks the name is hilarious) from the Medical Center for bonuses in a variety of categories that last the day.

Sounds!
I’ve started the process of adding in all the new sounds to make Garland feel more alive. The biggest changes you’ll notice here are in UI and menus, though the animal sounds are pretty fun too :D

Luck!
Good luck with that…

Honestly there’s a bunch more stuff in the changelog but not a lot of space to write it here so please check it out. Next update will be festivals and tying off loose ends.
See you in Garland!
