New

• MAJOR: Added the Odd Jobs board near town hall. This board lists requests (in the form of minigames) from villagers. Completing them earns you silver and increased friendship with said villager

  • One job is available each day

  • Valentine needs help weeding his fields

  • Dr. Klaus is looking for a new test subject for… something

• MAJOR: Implemented a refined new lighting system

  • Lighting color at night has been altered for a more cozy feel

  • Overlapping lighting will no longer appear as discrete circles

  • Artificial lighting now only pops when the transition to night lighting is finished

  • Interior lighting should now be more even

• MAJOR: Changed the “Music Toggle” option in the system menu to a music level changer. You can change volume levels of background sounds from 0% to 100% (Default: 40%)

• ULTRA-MEGA MAJOR: Tamed critters can now follow you on your adventures

  • You can only have one follower at a time and it may be especially prone to bugs

• EXPERIMENTAL: Music will no longer restart upon entering a new area and is instead one continuous track.

  • It’s hard to explain and should be more obvious in-game. The upshot is you’ll be able to experience the entire track more easily and you won’t get sick of the first 30sec of a song if you frequent the same area a lot

• Added a number of new fish and bugs to the demo spawn tables
