New Farming Quests & More In The Critter Cove September Update

[p]Our September update has just landed, bringing new quests, fresh decorative items, a shiny Codex menu, controller improvements, and of course plenty of bug fixes. [/p][p][/p][p]Even better: it arrives just in time for the Steam Autumn Sale! We'll be joining th sale a little early in fact, with a 30% discount starting this evening (Friday 26th September).
[/p][h3]New Farming Quests[/h3][p][/p][p]The farms in the enchanted biome need your help, so sail over to Port Bella and chat with Haystack to get started. And if you’ve completed the other farming quests, check in with Pitchfork or Applecore for some new requests.  [/p][p][/p][p]Alongside the one-off adventures, there’s also a new, repeatable quest from Haystack that you can do to earn more tickets whenever you’re running low.[/p][p][/p][h3]Decorative Doors and Windows
[/h3][p]Feeling a little claustrophobic? Is the lack of door color options making you a little unhinged?
[/p][p]Fear not, for you can now add a variety of different door and window designs to your homes with this charming range of peculiar portals.[/p][h3]
New Codex Menu
[/h3][p]We’ve been transforming our crafting menu into a codex, which means you’re now able to see items easier, filter different categories, and see exactly how close you are to unlocking everything:[/p][p]
[/p][p]And this is just the beginning — in upcoming updates, the Codex will grow into a full collection catalogue, packed with item info and long-term progress tracking.
[/p][h3]Quality of Life and Controller Improvements[/h3][h3][/h3][p]We’ve polished the controller experience (especially on Steam Deck) and added new options for customizing control sensitivity.[/p][p][/p][p]For the full list of these improvements, you can check our patch notes.
[/p][p]We’re always looking for more ways to improve the moment-to-moment experience in Critter Cove, so if you have any suggestions, please drop them over to us in Discord or in the forum, as we’ll be working on adding some in every single update.[/p][p][/p][h3]Population Increase and new NPCs
[/h3][p]We’ve added a brand new house for residents or the player to pick from, increasing the maximum resident population from 17 to 18 critters. Which is good news, since we’ve also added three new NPCs to the game as well: Melody, Zalika and Bolt to rescue at your pleasure.
[/p][p][/p][p]We’re already hard at work on another update for October with more quests, more quality of life upgrades… and even new music![/p][p][/p][p]See you on the island![/p][p]
