I’ve been developing a cooking mini game that requires puzzle solving and memory skills. Fishing in the game requires some precise clicking and I wanted cooking to feel different.

The quality of the crafted dish will matter a lot. For example, a higher quality item could be three times more effective than the normal quality one. So it will be to your advantage to learn the mini game as well as unlock new abilities that allow you to optimize better and better recipes.

Books can be bought from the librarian in town, gifted as a reward from a quest, or found in a dark corner of the dungeon. Once you have a book, you will have to take it back to your farm house to read it. By finishing a book, the player could gain experience points to level up a skill, a new crafting recipe, or even start a new quest.

But reading books takes time. For every passage of a book that is read, a portion of the day is lost. So, you will have to balance reading with your other daily activities. Some books are short but others may take multiple days to complete.

You will be able to choose from 2 different body types and many different skin tones, hair styles and clothing options in the final game. The image below is the current state of the character customization for the upcoming beta (more details on this in the coming months!) which only allows you to choose between 3 different presets.

I plan on adding more customization options such as accessories and hats in the final release.

Scattered through the world of Pine Lily Village, are ancient artifacts from past cultures and creatures. When you walk near a buried artifact, your companion will alert you and show the location to you. Once found, you need to use your hoe to dig up the artifact.

While you can sell these artifacts for a modest profit, there is a better option to consider. The researcher in town is very keen to get his hands on as many artifacts as possible. He will reward you with gifts and recipes once you find enough of them. He also built a museum above the library to display any unique artifacts found.
