Magical Harvest News

We have a new small patch for you!
The wished feature that you can hold the toolbar key for continuous interaction is there!
And German translation - next to smaller things.

Vers. 0.1.69

• Added German translation
  
• You can now hold the tool button for continuous actions with the tools
  
• The multi area can now be triggered with Shift
  
• Changed tutorial popup with controls
  
• A chest is craft-able now
  
• Small bug fixes
  

More improvements will follow over time!
On the side, we are working on the Character Customizer, but this will take a while till it's ready to be in the game. With this, the animations will be a bit updated in the game (we know about the weird watering animation).

Don't forget to join our Discord and share your thoughts and opinions with us! We would also love to see your decorated farm!

Another couple of smaller updates to improve the quality of the demo:

Vers.0.1.67
- Information in the start screen that Controller support is not the right choice at the moment
- Dialogues: you can left click to skip text (before it was just pressing E)
- Advanced Crafting: you can click on the recipes now to see the needed items (hover shows the name now), even if you can’t craft them yet
- Reversed the scroll wheel for the tool bar
- Added a second (shorter) path to the mine (in the final game, the maps will be smaller)
- Improved the fishing cast with mouse click
- Decoration mode: some chests are now available (when starting a new game & finishing the tutorial)
- Bug fixed: you could not put farm ground on a place where you recently destroyed grass, stone or a tree

Next smaller planned implementations:
- The portal from the Farm to the Mine
- Mini map for the decoration mode

The current focus is on the Character Customizer-functionality.

We have a lot more things planned, but the focus is currently on getting more base features done.

The last unreal engine upgrade caused some problems, that are now hopefully all solved.
The project size is back to the original size (it was doubled...).
And more important: it's not crashing anymore when using the hoe!

Patch-notes:
Vers. 0.1.66
- fixed the animation start when using tools - but character is turning instantly now
- fixed a problem in the mine where the delivered objects were not correctly activated anymore
- reduced the project size by more than a half (we had an issue with the new UE-Version)
- fixed (hopefullly) a bug that caused a crash when using the hoe (also caused by the new UE-Version)


I wish you a lot of fun!
