✅ What’s New:
Footstep Audio
You’ll now hear your own footsteps as you move through the wheat—just enough to remind you you’re not alone.

Player Controller Upgrade
We migrated to Unity’s Player Controller system to improve movement feel and give us more flexibility down the line.

Landmark Additions
The dried well and work shed have been added to the world and will play key roles in exploration and narrative.

Environmental Details
We’ve begun scattering random grass, small trees, and bushes throughout the field to make each run feel more alive.

🔜 Coming Up:
Completing the inventory system

UI for reading journals and letters

Building out level states and mapping progression

Adding music cues and more ambient sound triggers

🗒️ From the Studio
While we’re not participating in this June’s Steam Next Fest, we’re cheering for all the amazing indie games being showcased. We’ll continue to build toward our own demo launch later this summer.

Thanks for walking with us through the wheat.
#JoinTheSaga

Not everything went as planned this week—but the field is louder, the scarecrow is walking, and bugs were squashed.

✅ What’s New:
Scarecrow Patrol AI
The scarecrow now patrols the wheat field. If you're inside the wheat and he senses you, he’ll reset your progress. We’ve added a Cinemachine camera trigger to make those moments hit harder.
Wheat Rustle Audio
The field now reacts to you. As you walk through the wheat, it rustles softly—adding tension to every step.
Singleton Bug Fix
We ran into a nasty singleton mismatch issue that only appeared in builds (not the editor). It took time to isolate, but it’s been fixed.
🛠️ In Progress:
GUI updates for the main menu and pause menu
Steam wishlist and feedback links now integrated into the UI (demo prep underway)
🔜 Coming Up:
📖 Finish the letter/journal reader
🏚️ Add key landmarks like the dried well and toolshed
🔄 Begin building level states and mapping out story progression points
🗒️ Notes from the Studio
This week had its share of setbacks—but meaningful systems are taking shape. The field is no longer quiet. The scarecrow is no longer idle.
