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!

Hey Neighbours!

Welcome to 2025 in Garland! I hope you’ve all been well even though it’s certainly been an intense start to the new year.

The first update for the year in Garland is a fun one both with front end stuff and polishing off a lot of back end junk so I can move on to more featurezzzz

First up is furniture! The antiques store is now selling some nice furniture so go check it out! By placing different kinds of furniture in your apartment you'll unlock category organisation tabs in your main storage area (which btw looks super nice now). I can't wait to see how you decorate your apartments :D

Next up I've added in the first batch of Steam Achievements. I know that this has been a long time request and once I'm sure everything is working properly in this update I'll be adding more with proper artwork. If you have any achievement suggestions let me know in the Garland discord!

The Council Initiatives stampcards have also gotten a rework and now you can have the satisfaction of smacking that stamp down when you complete them as well as: actual rewards for doing them. I know, very exciting! Just a quick note that while you can receive the reward items from Patrick, some of the tools attached aren't functional yet (speedy shoes don't make you go any faster right now but the kitty ear beret sure looks damn cute!). Hang on to them until next update and you'll be able to use them properly :D

Back end I’ve done a lot of optimising including adding fps control and texture changes which should help out those of you who are playing on machines with integrated graphics. There are still areas that are a work in progress so I’ll be ticking them off as I go along this year.

Last thing I wanted to mention is that this year I'm going to be doing updates monthly rather than fortnightly. This will give me more time to fix bugs before updates go out and add larger features without having to stress about getting things out while I'm working on bug reports. The updates will be a lot chunkier for you guys too so it should be more fun coming back every month!

Anyway, hope you're all well and I'll be back next time possibly with the ability to move between apartments or upgrade!

See you in Garland!

- Full reorganise of texture pages to help players with integrated graphics cards.
- Full redo of weather systems to be not frame dependant.
- Added ability to call cutscenes from multiple new objects.
- Consolidated a bunch of old scripts and removed redundancies.
- Changed notifications, tally checks and achievements to only check when one is created.
- Notifications: paused notification creation during transitions.
- Notifications: added auto check to end of cutscenes.
- Updated draw outline of sprites to shader.
- Fixed a couple of errors to player palette shader.
- Shadows: total math rewrite for speed, updated some placement on tree shadows.
- Lighting: moved to be controlled by day cycle rather than object.
- Added additional deactivation to buildings, trees, lamps and decor.
