Improved sorting, The Abbess Garden and Halloween!

[p]Dear friend,[/p][p][/p][p]I fell in love![/p][p]This always happens to me at the turn of the season, and this time I fell in love with Autumn! She painted my beloved forest in so many lovely, incredible colors, that I have a really hard time being inside. All I want is to go for a walk and gather a lot of leaves. I even learned that if you marinate lovely autumn leaves in a solution composed of 1/3 glycerin and 2/3 lukewarm water, the vibrant colors will last for a very long time. My leaves are still marinating, but I hope that in a few days, my office will look and feel just like the forest![/p][p]Inspired by this beautiful Autumn, I fell in love once more with watercolor. It did not help at all that I visited a lovely arts and crafts store, which had All The Colors! Thankfully, my new watercolor palette kept me in my office for a bit, and it inspired me to paint a Halloween-themed decoration set. I hope the spooky decorations will bring you joy!

The Abbess Garden
[p]My friend Edwige is creating a beautiful gardening game set in the 17th-century rural France, called The Abbess Garden. Besides a very accurate gardening experience, the game also features an intriguing story filled with spies and romance![/p][p][/p][p]Edwige kindly gave me a whole neat set of decorations from her game. They are now available in the Guestbook, offering a little taste of her beautiful game. The Abbess Garden features a Demo that takes part in Steam Next Fest, and I encourage you to try it out and consider leaving a nice review. [/p][p][/p]
Notable* Improvements and Fixes
[p]Fixed Achievements - The new setting between the Simple and Realistic decoration style inadvertently broke some achievements. I should have thought about checking! But I am happy to say that the broken achievements (Fairy's Gift and Fairy's Gifts) are now fixed. [/p][p]Decoration Toggles - I also changed how the Categories and Sizes work in the Decorations page. They were originally designed as filters that can be combined, but now they work as simple toggles: you can choose to see only Small stickers, or only Frames, for example.[/p][p]Soul Candy Refresh - I caught myself trying to find the perfect Soul Candy for the day. But it was not that easy to find it in the candy jar, so now I added a Refresh button right in the candy![/p][p]Improved Decoration Gathering - the Simple mode of scrapbooking now adds only one decoration of the same kind in the Decoration pages, no matter how many times you click on it. [/p][p]By "*Notable" I mean what I remembered to note =)[/p][p][/p]
Thank you for your suggestions and bug reports!
[p]They help me super super super much! I always keep a really close eye on the reports, on what is happening right here in the Steam community, and on The Merry Fairy Discord channel. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
Pumpkins!
[p]This has nothing to do with the game, but I want to show you my super lovely Halloween pumpkins that I have been growing in my garden since this spring. It's the first time I tried to grow pumpkins, and I think I experienced what is commonly known as "beginner's luck"![/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]Have a spookily happy Halloween! I hope the new decorations are not too scary![/p][p][/p][p][/p]
