Autumn Season & Winter Season:
As temperatures begin to drop, the leaves fall from the trees and the town is decorated to celebrate the harvest.
Grab a cup of tea and settle in by the fire. We have a lot to talk about.

Rockfall Mountain:
The name comes from the stories told by the mining crews of old. They had their work constantly interrupted because of the rocks that fell from the top of the mountain, blocking the entrance to the mine. There you can find the entrance to this abandoned mine. See what you can dig up.

House Upgrade:
Having your own house is already pretty neat, but what if you could do more with it? Raphael can help you out with that. If you have the money and the materials.

Farm Upgrade:
Sometimes all you need a little extra space. What about an even bigger farm? Talk to Shinnosuke at the Town Hall during business hours and let's see what we can arrange.

Furniture & Decoration:
Add more personality to your farm house with furniture. Purchase what you like, place it inside your house, rotate, and move it around to make your home really feel like home.

Go talk to Raphael, he'll certainly have a lot to sell you.


Fixes:
- Areas no longer glitch when loading save file
- Fixed intro cutscene with wrong hair/skin color
- Fixed dialogue font size being too small to read
- Fixed UI number font

- Fixed stamina not lowering when using the axe

One Important note: Unfortunately, you won't be able to use your save files you previously made on V0.8!

Because we have run into an issue that prevents you from saving this data without causing issues, and we're working on a proper fix. In the meantime we didn't want to let everyone wait any longer for all this content because of 1 bug, so we will be resolving this issue next week in another patch (0.9.1).





Thank you all for waiting for this update! We will continue to update the game within the next weeks.

So be sure to check back here for more information soon.

Thanks as always for supporting the game!
