Introducing the Moving & Grooving Update!



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!

Spirittea's Hook, Line & Spirit update is OUT NOW!

Hi everyone!

It's time for another big update to Spirittea! This time, we have been working on a big new feature, and a whole host of bugs have been taken care of! Are you ready to go FISHING?

Since our last update, we've been looking at feedback and watching folks play. Something we really wanted to make more engaging was the fishing minigame - so we totally redesigned it! From today, you can play the brand new minigame (complete with new targeting!) or switch in the options to keep the old minigame and play as you have been - it's totally up to you!



The new fishing system comes with a brand new casting bar to make sure you hit your target every time, then dives down under the waves to put you in control of reeling in your latest catch - can you time your fishing just right before your line snaps and you're sent reeling?

Every fish will have some stamina; it's up to you to outlast them, but keep your precious rod in one piece!



Alongside the new fishing, here are some quality-of-life changes & bug fixes we've added:

  • You can now toggle how dark it is at night to help you navigate better
  • Added a STREAMER MODE in the options to better hide away details about you in Moby's quest
  • Fixed a bunch of spooky bugs where some ducks could be deleted unintentionally, or their reflections would sit in baths where they weren't!
  • Made it so the big cherry blossom by the bathhouse goes transparent when the player walks behind it (to help with finding sakura blossoms)
  • Fixed it so that Spirits no longer leave towels in the unreachable void if you suddenly leave the bathhouse
  • Added ice (and icey sounds!!) to the rice paddies in winter
  • Fixed bug where karaoke on PC would display correct key bindings but would only accept default inputs
  • Added ability to change the text finished sound or to remove it completely
  • Added floor and ceiling brooms to Song's shop. Change the camera, repair kit, retro TV, quest for the end II, stinker statue, and Gamestation 7 to be able to be purchased more than once (for people that lost/sold them)
  • Added a Kenzo hotspring animation!
  • Fixed an issue where spirits would sometimes disappear when you put them in a bath




We hope you enjoy the new fishing - there's more where that came from! You can grab Spirittea now at 30% OFF and we'll see you next time!

Spirittea: The Helping Hands Update is OUT NOW!



Hi everyone!

We're bringing you a big Spirittea update, which we think you're all going to love - introducing the Helping Hands update!

To celebrate, we've got Spirittea as part of a Daily Deal, and you can grab it for 30% OFF!

It's been a massive last few months since we launched in November, which of course was the Cheesemaster's first ever launch. In between then and now, They've had a baby and moved to South Korea, so these last few months have been huge!

There's been so many things we've wanted to fix and update, and this update is the first of many! We appreciate all of you who have given Spirittea so much support, and been patient while we've been going through so many life changes. But now, we're so excited to bring you the first of many updates, all thanks to your feedback and bug reports!

[h3]Here's what we're bringing you with this update:
[/h3]

Introducing the Wonyan hint system! Now, whenever you're doing a quest and you're unsure of what to do, you can ask Wonyan for help in pointing you in the right direction!


When you interact with Wonyan, you'll see the option to ask for advice. Choose the quest you need help for, and Wonyan will give you some clues!



Not to mention, some quality of life changes & bug fixes:
  • The effect of drinking will wear off with a good sleep
  • Added naked reaction text for Ito! 😱
  • Fixed amount of friendship given to NPC if player wins minigame (was half of amount if NPC wins)
  • Removed poobird near the player's house that led to nowhere
  • Removed the early game Wonyan hint system (for Sujin's, Moby's and Young's quests)
  • Wonyan can't be talked to (get in your way) when the bathhouse is running (unless the tutorial hasn't been completed yet)
  • Slowed Clarence's bird watch animation
  • Fixed bug where fish couldn't be offered to the lord spirits and to regular bathing spirits
  • Fixed a crash when the player would hit bath monkeys with a net
  • Fixed an issue where food couldn't be given to spirits when attempting to give it from above spirits (aka spirits sitting in the top row of the bath)
  • Fixed a bug where if the recipe dropped by a crab (Julian's quest) spawns in an inaccessible place, re-entering the room will move the recipe to the beach
  • Fixed a bug where Amelia's and Clarence's quests were still both triggering on the mountain at the same time


This is just the first of many updates to come, and we can't wait to share with you what we have planned! Thanks again for your patience & support in making Spirittea even more amazing every time.

We'll see you soon, lazy bones!
