[h2]📝 What's next[/h2]
I'll be rolling up my sleeves for the final update for this year (v0.7)! The v0.7 'Creatures & Caves' update should drop around the year-end holidays. It'll be a pretty special and big update, with exciting new stuff that brings us another step closer to 1.0.
I plan to work on:
- Winter Festival ❄️⛄️ - the last festival, such that there's 1 festival per season! One of the ideas I have and hope to implement is a snowball fight mini-game :D If you have other ideas, we're always happy to hear them!
- Creature Variants 🐾✨ - many players have suggested this, and it's also something I've been wanting to add for a long time! What's a creature collector without some ✨variants✨? Tell us what you wish to see!!! (excited)
- New creatures, crops, and fish! 🌿🐟 There's more research to be done!
- More content for the Mines 💎🔨 I want add more variety when exploring the Mines, with things like hidden rooms and special levels.
Highly likely to be added by end 2023:
- Steam Achievements, finally! Since it's something I've never implemented before, I'm not sure how long it'll take but I hope to fit this in before the end of the year. I'll update you guys about whether it's possible when the time comes!
Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the update! - Miki
