Sleepytime Village News

[h2]Hi folks![/h2]

After showcasing Sleepytime Village at WASD, I noticed several areas that needed improvement, including gameplay changes, UI additions to guide the player, and bug fixes.

So, in v1.4a, you will see:

BUG FIXES

Resolved a couple of freezes caused by minor bugs.
UI ADDITIONS

Menu tweaks and UI guidance for starting the first scene.
GAMEPLAY TWEAKS

New graphical elements, enhanced gameplay features like new footstep sounds, and increased walking speed.
All these updates should make the game experience even better!

Also, while I have your attention, the Kickstarter for Sleepytime Village is currently live. We're doing well but could use a bit more support! Please check it out here, and consider backing the game by choosing one of the physical rewards.

Your support would make a big difference!

So! We have updated the build to sort a couple of bugs AND added feedback from the amazing David & Sophie Younger (making the already amazing looking Foolish Mortals) and Francisco Gonzalez
(from Lamplight City and forthcoming Rosewater fame!)

We've also added new accessibility factors to turn off the objects bouncing as it can cause motion sickness. Hope that helps and always we're always listening!

Hope you enjoy the updates, and please get early in the Kickstarter pre launch and sign up to hear when it goes live and get in on those early rare rewards!

Thanks again to you all!
