[h3][āØv0.9 is in development and will be released when ready. There's still quite a bit of content to work through!āØ][/h3]
[h2]Greetings Researchers![/h2]
I'm currently working on the v0.9 update, which will be quite a big update! Here's what you can expect:
[h2]Layla, NPC Character interactions š[/h2]
Here's an example of new NPC interactions! Talking to them will prompt a dialogue where they speak to each other.
Hello Layla!
[h2]Cooking System + Crafting Food from Chest š³[/h2]
Being a life sim, many players want to cook in the game! With the numerous interesting plants and produce that can be found in Shimmerbrook, I thought we could make a familiar system with unique recipes.
Players will be able to obtain 5 different Cooking Utensils, which are required for various recipes. For example, you can cook Scrambled Eggs on a Pan, and make Mashed Potatoes with a Bowl & Whisk. (Cooking Utensils was one of my favourite things about Harvest Moon FOMT, and I really wanted to add this!)
To make cooking more meaningful, some food will provide players with effects for the day when eaten.
Effects from food may still change during development!
The Food Cabinet (currently in-game), will be interactable and act as a chest. When making food, ingredients will be automatically grabbed from the Food Cabinet first before the Player Inventory.
Players can obtain recipes primarily from NPCs, reading the Noticeboard, and the Caravan.
[h3]To-do List š[/h3]
Here are some of the things I'll be working on next:
Thank you for reading! What else do you wish to see in the v0.9 update?
Cheers~
