Spirittea News

Hi everyone!

We're finally here with another update, and it's a big one - the Phantom Friends Update!

We have a whole host of exciting new content in this update, including SPIRITS which we know you have all been dying to see more of! To make things even better, you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF in the Steam Autumn sale which goes live today! Enough from us though, should we get into it?

SPIRIT PETS! You'll now be able to summon spirits as pets, using pet shrines! Hunt down pet ritual scrolls for help on how to summon them, and you'll have your own spirit companion that might be a bit less grumpy (sorry Wonyan)



NEW SPIRITS & QUESTS! You'll find some new spirits about town which you'll need to have your spirit vision ready for... what possibly could they want?



One of the new spirits you'll find is a SPIRIT MERCHANT! You may need their help during one of the quests, or when it's time to summon a spirit, so make sure your spirituality is high enough...



And as always, we fixed a truckload of bugs, and added a bunch of quality of life improvements and more content to accommodate the new additions in this update! Here's the full breakdown:

• Added Poegs to the game - it's a spirit pig that can be fed different foods and produces different coloured spirit essences (used in creating pets at pet shrine). Appears in-game if you've been in town until at least the 5th of the first year
  
• Added Poeg detector to spirit shop inventory. It can show where the Poeg is located on the map screen (a little white pig icon)
  
• Added pet shrines to the game, which can be used to summon pets
  
• Added pet ritual scrolls to the game (instructions on how to create pets)
  
• Added pet shrine to secret shop inventory
  
• Added pet shrine to Song's shop rotation
  
• Added pet shrine to secret shrine room
  
• Added a NEW spirit merchant. Will only be visible and active as a shop if spirituality is more than or equal to 100
  
• Added ability to scrub spirits for spirit materials (using broom)
  
• Added new flower shrine quest (started once player unlocks the pond in the bathhouse)
  
• Added a flower shrine to outside of the bathhouse area
  
• Added spirit flowers types around town
  
• Added 10 lion's mane spirit flowers around town
  
• Added water to bathhouse upgradable pond
  
• When the bathhouse pond has been upgraded, a watering can is spawned in front of it. The watering can is also added to the recovery shrine at this time. The watering can cannot be sold at the selling shrine
  
• Added veggies to Ito's truck shop. Each day Ito is in town, 2 random veggies that grow in the wild can be sold at his truck shop. The next time Ito is in town, the veggies will be randomly picked again (so it's possible to see the same veggie again)
  
• Added lasagna & the recipe for it
  
• Ensured that Song's shop will be selling the spaghetti recipe, noodles, tomatoes and beef during the stage of the spirit quest where lasagna needs to be fed to the Poeg
  
• Added tutorial for ceiling and floor brooms (the floor broom specifically describes how to get spirit materials)
  
• Revised the backup achievement code check which triggers when you load your save file. It will check more efficiently if you've been in town at least one year and should have the Countryside Experience achievement
  
• Fixed a bug where Kurkapi and Ribbard's songs wouldn't end when they were done bathing, or the bathhouse was closed
  
• Fixed bug where playing the drinking minigame 6 times soft locked the minigame, and didn't naturally end with dialogue from an NPC
  
• Fixed issue with Kim's quest's spirit where the spirit's depth was off when sitting in the tea fields (making it so the player could stand over top of its sprite when the player should be behind it)
  
• Fixed Maru and Sora's positioning on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8pm (should be by the temple but were teleporting to the school)
  
• Fixed "controller is disconnected" message font size for non-English languages
  
• Added option to in-game menu to adjust deadzone level of joysticks
  
• Added option to in-game menu to have the game auto detect controller inputs for you, or to manually set the controller being used
  
• Added Aurum's background information to his spirit charm (updated when spirit tome is dug up)
  
• Fixed Corvink's bathing type to be "Swimmer" instead of Regular
  
• Adjusted spirit material drop rate to 45% chance and decreased required scrub time from 6 seconds to 5.5 seconds
  
• Added a Wonyan scrubbing reminder/tutorial that triggers in the center of the main bathhouse room if the Poeg quest is done, and if the tutorial hasn't been triggered yet
  

We hope you all enjoy this super cute update! We'll let you know soon about when you can expect this update to drop on console, so keep an eye out!

Until next time, and good luck in your Poeg hunting!

Hi everyone!

We've hit a special milestone today - Spirittea turns 1!

Phew! A whole year since we launched Spirittea, and it's been a year full of exciting things! We've brought you a bunch of cool updates, new content - there's a ton of things! Not to mention, we've got a super exciting content update dropping very VERY soon, so keep an eye out for that! We're also part of Cozy Quest too, which means you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF!

But in the meantime, should we have a look at the last year?

A little bit after releasing Spirittea, we launched a Wonyan Plushie, so you could have your favourite spirit cat follow you wherever you went!



In Update 1.5.0, we made karaoke easier, added more cooking recipes, and added more language support! Not only that, the next few updates were RIDDLED with bug fixes and quality of life improvements!



In Update 1.5.6, we added a bunch of new UI elements, improved NPC behaviours, and fixed a long list of even more bugs!



In Update 1.5.8, we added inventory stacking, and added weekend bathhouse shifts!



In the SPECQUACKULAR Update, we added BATHHOUSE DUCKS (because how could we not), a new shop vendor called Ito, and new bathhouse seasonal mechanics!


In the Helping Hands Update, we added a hint system to help you out in case you got stumped with certain quests, so you were able to ask Wonyan for advice, alongside even more bug fixes!


In the Hook, Line & Spirit Update, we overhauled the fishing mini-game to make it even better and easier! We also added a night time darkness toggle & streamer mode, and hot springs animations!



In the Moving & Grooving Update, we added a bunch of new animations to the people in Spirittea to give them even more life in their hobbies & daily routines! We also added a recovery shrine, where you'd be able to find any quest related items you may have lost!



And finally, we launched the physical edition of Spirittea on Nintendo Switch, which you can still grab now by clicking here!



There's plenty more we've done with Spirittea this last year, and we can't wait to give you even more! Keep an eye out for the new content update dropping VERY soon - you'll want to get in the SPIRIT early...

Thank you everyone for making Spirittea the best it can be - here's to another year!

Hi everyone!

We're back with another Spirittea update - the Moving & Grooving Update! To celebrate, you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF right now!

This update brings some cool new content, alongside some quality of life changes & more bug fixes which we know you're going to love!

[h3]Here's what you can expect to find:
[/h3]

New NPC animations! We've finally added more animations to the townsfolk, so now when you walk around, you'll see them engaging in more activities and doing more with their daily routines!



A recovery shrine! If you ever lose an item that's related to a quest, then you'll be able to find it again here, so no more panicking over Eric's lost toothbrush!



We've also updated localisation, so all the changes and content we've added since launch will be in all of the languages in Spirittea!

Those are the major changes in this update - here's a full list of bug fixes & quality of life changes:

• Fixed bug where large bath would remain frozen if heaters were placed on left or right side of bath
  
• Finished adding Gale's, Jan's, Julian's, Kenzo’s, Ling’s, Maru’s and Kim’s animations
  
• Changed how the shovel, net and rod look in water reflections
  
• Fixed crashes around wind and atmosphere audio
  
• Fixed a bug where blank spots in Fenias's shop would appear as a value of -1 if the player scrolled vertically
  
• If an item disappears when moving between rooms, a pop up now occurs to highlight to the developers there has been an issue. The player will then be holding an invisible object rather than the game crashing like before.
  
• Fixed an issue where Kim’s quest doesn’t count buying the small retro TV in progressing the quest
  
• Added in all the new localised text!
  
• Added a new face to the character customisation at the start of the game
  
• Changed the photocamera to being purchasable just one from the shop, but also from the new recovery shrine
  
• Removed brooms from Song’s shop and made them available at the recovery shrine
  
• Changed the duck statue in the lord room to hopefully stop it from eating people’s items!
  
• Added the item recovery shrine/shop to the stone shrine to the left of the town shop. Key items can be re-bought there if they're somehow lost
  
• Added a backup for Miko’s quest in case spirit is teleported out of bounds, so the player can still complete the quest
  
• Added the ability to clean and re-clean the duck debris around duck nests (though it returns after 5 days due to ducks losing feathers)
  
• Fixed the friendships achievement triggering when raising friendship naturally in game (not loading from the main menu)
  
• Removed the dust in the bathhouse which was unreachable for players to clean up
  
• Fixed the bug where trying to remove multiple objects from the fridge or storage chest, with a full backpack, resulted in one of the object being created at the player's feet
  
• Added 3 atmospheric cicada sound effects for summer
  
• Removed friendship gained from digging at a spot already dug up
  
• Fixed a bug where if the season changed to spring or summer and Jillian or Yari came to town, they wouldn't have the correct friendship level (unless the game was re-loaded from the main menu)
  
• Boosted pumpkin grow chance from 30% to 70%
  

And that's all! We hope you have a ton of fun with this new update, stay tuned for the next one - we'll see you soon!
