Controls are completely customizable through keyboard and gamepad!
Hope it helps!

[h2]Demo is in the review process![/h2]
- Demo will limit certain aspects of the game, but should still offer an experience that allows players to feel all the mechanics before pulling the trigger!
- This review process should only take a couple of days from STEAM's end.
- Looking forward to getting it up!

- Balancing the Imperial Legion!
- Due to the most recent poll, Misfits are receiving a content expansion! This expansion will begin once all the priorities have been taken care of!

Keyboard Configuration is IN! Winner of the POLL!

[h2]Keyboard configuration is IN![/h2]
It can be accessed by clicking the Keyboard Icon on the HUD in game or within your Menu :: System Options :: General.
Hopefully it gives you guys more freedom to do what you want, how you want!
Next on the agenda is Gamepad Configuration.
I suspect this will not take me as long as the Keyboard configuration as I can use a lot of it's core coding to make it happen!
- Also nerfed the monster levels a wee bit! Should be good this time!!
- Among other small tweaks were implemented.

PLEASE let me know if you guys have any feedback or whatever!

[h2]Winner of the CONTENT POLL is.......[/h2]
2. Misfits & Misfit Relationships!
With Upgrading the farm a CLOSE second!

This content patch will begin development once all the issues are worked out and it is running as smooth as possible. The scope of each patch is around a 1-2 week development time!
I will announce when I begin working on these content patches.


Anyway THANK YOU to everyone who cast a vote and whom are playing Heavenly Acres.
I appreciate the feedback and I hope to make it more enjoyable for everyone!

Thanks!

Informational Menu is LIVE along with some other tweaks!

The Informational Menu can be found in System Options of the menu. CLICK on Help to enter into it. There will be many many pages of information with visuals such as all your crops you can farm, animals, and so fourth.
Also included is a glossary. This will be expanded upon in the future.
Do not feel obligated to read all of this or try to memorize it all. You can go back to the menu whenever you like at all times of the day!
Let me know what you all think of it and if you think more needs to be added!

NEXT up is Keyboard and Gamepad configuration! Take care!
