Moonstone Island News

AHHH YOU GUYYYYSSSS THIS IS A REALLY EXCITING ONE!!!

First off, the free content update, which I've been VERY excited about: we added cooking to the game!!!! You can create dishes in your new kitchen, complete cooking-related quests, and discover the characters' favorite dishes. Finally, you can have an actual functioning kitchen-zone! Isn't that cool? I think it's cool.

There are over 80 recipes to discover, some with incredible effects, and new ingredients made with crops, alongside a prep station, an oven, and a stove to put in your kitchen.

Alongside the cooking update, we have paid DLC themed around cooking, too! It's called Chef's Kiss, and it adds a few baking and cooking accessories to your game:

● Donut Rug
● Cloche
● Pot Rack
● Marble Counter
● Marble Counter with Sink
● Bakery House



The Chef's Kiss DLC costs the same as all the other DLC we've released, and as always, it's decor ONLY. You can cook in your game with or without the DLC!

Happy Cooking!

This DLC launches on July 31st. It'll cost the same as all the other DLC we've released, and as always, it's decor ONLY. The cooking mechanic will be added to the game FOR FREE, so get your olive oils out and flour your hands in preparation!

Have you been out in the garden today? The patch plants have grown some little patch fruits, and it's time to harvest them!

Let's take a look at these juicy new changes:

• Reconsider card bug fixed (and likely other similar cards)
  
• We know you want to jump the gun and smooch the mystery man, but patience is a virtue – "Ask for a date" in Magic Man’s interaction menu is disabled until both the mirror and rift quests are completed
  
• Removed “Give shard“ option from Magic Man’s menu when he’s not in his hut, because Fishbo Jr was taking the delivery and he's not responsible enough
  
• Winter exteriors for recently added homes, so now all your houses can be cute and snowy
  
• Added “Get Rocked“ exploration ability icon above stamina bar for Chiminea
  

Just a small harvest today, but still... yum, tasty patch notes!

Not only are we on sale, but today’s update is a FREE DLC we’ve themed around POOL PARTY DLC, and it's totally free for everyone!!!!



There's a ton of pool and party-related cosmetics in this update, so let's get to the part where I do a big long list:

• In-Ground Pool
  
• Barbecue
  
• Towel
  
• Beach Umbrella
  
• Beach Blanket
  
• Snorcko Floatie
  
• Cooler
  
• Folding Beach Chair
  
• Lounge Chair
  
• Sand Bucket and Shovel
  
• Swimming Tube x2
  
• Tiki Torch
  

As you can tell, a lot of these items are perfect to decorate the outside of your home – perhaps you want to set up a cute little poolside resort, or a lounge area next to the lake? Personally, I'm excited about the Snorcko Floatie. It's adorable, and I love my snorkel boi.

As for patch notes, it's a bit dry this time – we've been quite busy launching a game on Switch, if you didn't already know!

So, for now, here are some bug fixes:

• Clicking on the invisible top menu bar while some other window is on the screen no longer causes the control hints to blink rapidly
  
• Disabled “I shouldn't destroy town property“ notification – you totally can destroy town property now, so this was just making people feel bad
  
• Removed outline effect from the text that is shown at the end of fishing minigame, because it was not readable in other languages
  
• Increased width for “Select an item to put into the picture frame“ text, since it was truncated in some languages
  

And that's all for today, pool pals! Writing this update post made me very sad that I don't have a pool, so I'm going to go spray myself down with a hose. It's basically the same, right?
