Research Story News

[h3]Greetings Researchers,[/h3]

We're finally Steam Deck Playable! 🎉🎉 While we're not fully verified yet, we are one step closer to that goal. To get the verified status, we still need to work on increasing font sizes in several parts of the UI and make the deck's native resolution the default one.

Increasing font sizes will take a while, as I'd likely have to redesign some parts of the UI. I'm also planning to work towards having the option to scale font sizes in the options menu, which I know some of you have requested since day 1.

It's been a long journey to get where we are today and I'm not stopping just yet! These will come in time.

Right now, I'm working on our next content update, which involves lots of writing for our NPCs. There's even a new character arriving in Shimmerbrook! Here's a sneak peek:


As usual, I'll be writing a devlog once there's more progress!

Happy Researching!

A few bugfixes:
- Auto-collectors only collect after research is complete, instead of after collecting the first produce by hand. This fixes the issue where auto-collectors would collect the produce that is required for completing research.
- Blue Noil and Blue Wool can now be used in Spinning Wheels and Composters.
- Creamy Mixtures can now be discarded.

Thank you for your reports! 🤍

- Fixed a bug causing players to wake up in an unfurnished home after passing out in a Farm Building.

Thank you for playing RS!
