1st Major Patch Announcement - Mid-April Release Date!
Hey guys!
As we are getting close to End of March we wanted to update you on our progress. We have been working very hard on delivering everything that we planned, but we will need 2 extra weeks to make it happen.
Taking everything into consideration First Major should be released in mid-April.
Thank you for your patience and we hope you will enjoy it as we have prepared a lot more features and content for you!
We originally planned on releasing 2 new zones with the first Major patch but after all your feedback and suggestions we have decided to postpone the release of one zone in exchange for a major game overhaul.
We understand that you were looking for that update and we don’t want to leave you empty-handed and so we are very excited to announce some of the changes and features from the upcoming 1st Major Patch together with the new Lonley Hills zone.
Overall system simplification:
Based on your feedback we realized that the previous tools system wasn’t clear enough and it caused more confusion than fun. Additionally hitting trash piles with the shovel wasn’t as satisfying as vacuuming and so we decided to make it more pleasant.
And so Pick Hammer and shovelsaw have been removed! We also removed the ammo system from the game. We found it an unnecessary addition that does not support the main theme of the game.
[h2]3 Simple and Fun Tools[/h2]
What we are left with is 3 simple and fun tools:
Drill- Hit or hold Left Mouse Button
Water hose - Hit or hold Right Mouse Button
Vacuum - Hit or hold Space

[h2]One Drill to clear them all :[/h2]
With all tools converted to one drill, you can now destroy all cubes by either hitting them (as earlier) or with a pleasant continued drilling action. No need to think anymore about which button does what and how to use different tools. All you need now to do is upgrade your drill once you find a cube that can't be destroyed with the current drill level.
Check out new continued drilling action: (yes we still need to work on sound;))

[h2]Watering system Overhaul:[/h2]
The previous version wasn’t clear, precise and satisfying enough and so we decided to completely redo it.
Now it works like a watering hose and we hope you will love it. Check out how it looks in game!

[h2]New Currency, Crafting and Shop systems![/h2]
We liked the idea of buying new stuff for food and recycled materials but something was always not right. A lot of you also suggested introducing a crafting system that feels more like crafting, less than shopping. We hope you will like the following changes!
Now we have 2 distinct currencies:
[h3]New Blueprint Currencies - Jars and food [/h3]
Jars are new universal currency that replaces previous "Delicious Dishes". You can now turn any of your food with Jar maker into Jars and spend it together with food on new blueprints (crafting recipes).
[h3]
New Crafting Currencies - Recycled Materials and Resources [/h3]
Recycled Materials is also new universal currency. You can turn any Trash and Resources into Recycled Materials and spend it together with specific resources on crafting items.

[h2]New Shop system - Helpful NPC's[/h2]
We turned all shops into something new – Helpful NPC’s. Now every NPC will be able to teach you new crafting blueprints in exchange for Jars and specific food.

[h2]New Crafting System [/h2]
Once you unlock new blueprints you will be able to craft your items directly at your farm! Your crafting station will tell you who can teach you new recipes (blueprints) and how much materials you will need to craft those items.

[h2]New Journal [/h2]
We have also introduced new journal to the game that will hold all the info that you need as well as your inventory. You will be able to find there info about quests, guides and map.

[h2]New Jar Maker and Kitchen[/h2]
We understood that the previous kitchen wasn’t very clear and fun system and so we decided to redo it as well.
[h3]New Kitchen[/h3]
We introduced to game new kitchen system where you will be able to use your produce to cook food and dishes. Those dished will be required to domesticate some animals, they will be useful for quests and learning new recipes as well as making new friends. You will be also able to turn every dish into Jar Food currency and it will be always worth more than individual ingredients so better plan your cooking ahead to make sure you can use up everything you got! Some dishes may even give you extra bonuses.
You will be find new cooking recipes all over the game world, find them in hidden places, get them as rewards or even find secret recipes by experimenting with random ingredients!

[h3]New Jar Marker[/h3]
New Jar maker is simply new version of old Kitchen where you can turn any food into universal currency. This time you will have full control over what food you want to turn into Jars so no more misclicks and losing important ingredients!

New House Features
We are also working on developing more features that will turn that old tree house into your dream home.
[h2]New wallpaper and wall pictures [/h2] With new patch you will be also able to repaint your walls, setup new wallpapers and hand pictures on the walls! No need to live in dirty house anymore!


Also check out this super cute chicken wallpaper and get ready for some more!

[h2]New Rooms[/h2] With new zone and introduction of Architect NPC you will be able to unlock new rooms in the house and renovate them into a cozy home.

New content
Regarding new content, we have plenty of things for you to find and enjoy together with whole new zone and quests. We don’t want to spoil too much at this moment but you can check out below just a few things of many that will come!











[h2]Where is the Story?[/h2]
No, we haven’t forgotten about creating a compelling story around main protagonist and game world, it just wasn’t a priority until now. But we are happy to say that we just involved very talented writers to join us on this adventure and we are working hard on new and exciting story that will be introduced into game. We still need around 2-3 months to implement it and we hope it will be worth the wait 😉
[h2]Game optimization?[/h2]
During recent development we have discovered new ways to optimize our game, we already have prepared a solid plan and will carry it out after next major patch so you can expect new optimization improvements in next 2 months.
[h2]Language Editions[/h2]
Due to the upcoming introduction of new story, dialogues and quests we have postponed language editions. We will work on them as soon as we are done with story revamp so new date for language editions is end of Q2 2021.
[h2]Your feedback[/h2]
