Mistpaw Ravine News

[p]A mysterious figure emerges from the mist![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I've partnered with Youtooz to make an official Mistpaw Ravine cat plush! It drops the same day as the game and you'll be able to get your own magical cat right here![/p][p][/p][h3]How to Enter the Giveaway[/h3][p]To enter the time-limited giveaway, head right over here and follow the steps! It couldn't be easier![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Being in any way involved in the creation of this perfect little dude is beyond cool. As a primarily digital artist, I never get over the feeling of holding my art in my actual, real life hands. (Well, in this case my children have claimed it and named him Pasta and I don't get to hold it much, but still!) It's wild every time![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for your support, everyone. See you on launch day!

Make sure you're wishlisted so you get the notification reminder on release day!

Once you find it and build workplaces in range, the production of those workplaces will be doubled![/p][p]The map has once again been updated with more trees and crystals, and ravine placements have been tweaked.[/p][p]There's also been a bunch of under-the-hood fixes and performance improvements. Let me know if you run into anything weird![/p][p]And I hope to see you on launch day!

[p]Custom cat colors are finally here in today's update to the Mistpaw Ravine demo![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Colorful Cats![/h3][p]You can now individually choose the color of each cat. You can also set the default color for all of your cats or set it to random. Out of all of my games, I don't think I've ever gotten as many requests for a feature as I did for this. It went from being a feature I wasn't sure would make it in time for release to zooming straight to the top of my to-do list![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Handy Cursor Tools[/h3][p]Another highly requested feature: a selection of cursor tools to help you execute certain tasks across many buildings at once. We already had the Crop Deletion Tool, but now we have the Building Delete, Rubble Delete, and Building Priority Tools. They all live happily together in their own new group on the hotbar.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Tutorial Videos![/h3][p]The tutorial now includes little videos to better illustrate where to find the requested buildings in the hotbar and suggests where and how to place them.[/p][p][/p][h3]Prettier Grass[/h3][p]I made some updates to how the grass and ground textures are drawn. It's subtle but it makes them look a bit more alive.[/p][p][/p][h3]Additional Patchnotes[/h3][p]- added new buildings[/p]

• [p]Statue - Increases happiness of cats living in nearby homes.[/p]
• [p]Decorative Yellow Tree - Decoration.[/p]

[p]- added hammering environment sounds to active buildsites[/p][p]- adjusted some environment sound volumes[/p][p]- adjusted build costs of many buildings[/p][p]- adjusted worker and building warnings to be more descriptive and suggest solutions[/p][p]- shortened tree grow times[/p][p]- added five new building enchantments[/p][p]- added eight new mystery events[/p][p]- added exact mana count to mana menu button tooltip[/p][p]- added alert for when kittens grow into adults[/p][p]- added alert for when relics are ready to be collected[/p][p]- fixed multiple stockpiles clearing their stocks sometimes confusing each other and not completing[/p][p]- fixed cursor lag on some systems (thank you YellowAfterlife)[/p][p]- improved performance with cat behaviors and building ground sprites[/p][p]- hauling stations now better assist workplaces with transferring their exports to stockpiles[/p][p]- adjusted hauling station worker priorities so they more frequently perform a variety of tasks[/p][p][/p][h3]That's It For Now[/h3][p]I gotta get back to work, thanks for reading!

[p]Hello there! I'm here to tell you about some new features coming in the full Mistpaw Ravine release! Let's get right into it.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Farming Underwater[/h3][p]Sometimes planting crops in plain ol' regular dirt just ain't good enough! Sometimes you want those crops to be excessively wet. Well you're in luck because soon you'll be able to toss out the standard Radrad and start planting Aquatic Radrads. They require a bit more work to set up but they grow faster and provide more food per square inch.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]More Underwater Things: Fish![/h3][p]Fish are another thing that traditionally enjoy living underwater. The Froop Hatchery will allow you to have some little floating buddies of your very own. Not only are they cute but they're delicious once fried on the grill.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Little Story Events[/h3][p]Every now and then your cats will come across a relic of the past. The rarest of these relics presents you with a choice of outcome. Sometimes you can get a unique building, sometimes you can get a mysterious box of food, but there will always be a fun little story to go with it.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]And So, So Many New Buildings[/h3][p]I've completed at least a dozen new buildings that aren't in the demo. I won't spoil them all here but here's a sneak peek at the Water Feature. It needs to be underwater to function and your cats absolutely love it.[/p][p][/p][h3]Oh and I Updated the Demo![/h3][p]A ton of new performance improvements just went live. A lot has changed under the hood so please let me know if you run into anything weird![/p][p][/p][h3]That's It For Now[/h3][p]There's still a ton of work left to do so I gotta get back to it. Thanks for reading! [/p][p]Jon[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello friends! I got another update to the Mistpaw Ravine demo for ya![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]New Cat Animations[/h3][p]Cats now do more than just bounce as they go about their tasks. Choppers chop, builders build, and miners mine with more feeling and magic than before! I'm hoping to add more as we get closer to release.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]More Polish![/h3][p]In addition to the new animations, I've also been updating the overall feel of the game. Things like sparkle effects, adjusting environment sound volume, and general balancing. There's also been a few patches with bug fixes over the past few days during the Steam Next Fest. Thank you to those who have been reporting bugs and submitting feedback using the in-game feedback form. It's greatly appreciated![/p][p][/p][h3]Full Patch Notes[/h3][p]- added worker animations for woodcutters, miners, clerics, and builders[/p][p]- added worker animation effects[/p][p]- added buildsite complete sparkle effect[/p][p]- increased camera zoom distance that ambient environment sounds cut out at[/p][p]- increased relic spawn rate[/p][p]- increased amount of starting food in the town center[/p][p]- froop and grill now correctly unlocked by the Cat Well-Being mana group[/p][p][/p][h3]That's It[/h3][p]Thanks for reading! Hope you're enjoying the Steam Next Fest. It's definitely been a busy week so far for me! 😅
