Cinnabunny News

Hello wonderful rabbits! I just thought I would send out a message of gratitude and to clarify what will happen with Cinnabunny in the near (and hopefully far) future. Plus, some information about the Cinnabunny Soundtrack!



Firstly, I just wanted to thank everyone for your patience with me during launch. As most of you know, Cinnabunny is a solo dev game and there was a large influx of players upon release. This means an equally large influx of bug fixes, QoL change requests, and general community management. Needless to say, I was very busy! I tried to respond to every bug report and I made a point to read every suggestion as well. Hopefully you all felt well listened to as I made initial changes; I truly do care a lot about the games I put out and want everyone to have the best, most peaceful, coziest time they possibly can.

As a result of your wonderful ideas and bug reports, I was able to put out 7 version updates in just under two weeks... wowza! Your excitement, positivity, and understanding were/are amazing and I'm so grateful to this wonderful community!



I will not be updating with the same schedule I have been; averaging an update every two days is... excessive :D I am aware of a couple of lingering bugs which I'm focused on figuring out, but other than that, the game is complete and (for the vast majority of people) very stable. That said, I know we both have a million ideas for how to make Cinnabunny even better! Therefore, going forward, I will be spacing out the updates and focusing on larger additions to the game while batching in QoL changes and bug fixes within those major version updates.

I have no road map as I want to be able to include or dis-include things based on my own vision for the game supplemented by community ideas/feedback. I will say, you all have had some wonderful ideas I've already begun including for the next major version — in addition to the wonderful ideas I've already included in the previous smaller updates :)

Additionally, I have no timeline (as you never know what sorts of snags development might hold), but I'd say the first major update will happen sometime within the next month

I hope that I am able to continually add things to Cinnabunny for a long time :)



The Cinnabunny Soundtrack is now on most major streaming services! If you just search for "Cinnabunny" the album should come up. So check it out on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen :)

[h2]Additions[/h2]

• Add relative burrow locations to the detailed version of the town map
  
• Added two more types of cave grass (one orange glow, one green glow) which spawns oat seeds and sugar cane seeds when cut with the scythe, respectively
  

[h2]Changes[/h2]
