Hello there and welcome to the 6th devlog for RINSED!

Today well be talking about a few topics so put on your reading glasses and grab a cup of tea because we are about to begin!

Crops and Bees

In the last few days we added honey as a new ingredient and bee keeping as a way of farming honey to the game! Everything is still pretty early in development but it look promising! Honey will be used for a few important recipes such as bandages, Tea and Pie!

Honey can be farmed by crafting beehives and placing them on your farming area. At this point in time every ingredience can either be found in the world or produced and your farm which is very exiting!

A little video about farming will be coming soon :)

Books and Poetry

With the addition of books came a few ideas. The first was adding Lore to the game by hiding books all over the map. Those books/notes will contain personal thought of people who once lifed there. In addition to that, guides will be placed either on the map or in shops. Guides will give an in depth explenation for certain game mechanics such as fishing and farming.

Last but not least the idea of giving everyone the chance to immortalize himself into the game was born. This will come in the form of a poetry book which will contain a collection of poems written by you, the community! We already got a few great submissions! If you want to submit yours just slide into our DMs here on gamejolt or facebook!

Pre Alpha Testing

As already mentioned in a few posts, we gave a very early pre alpha to a few of our friends! We got a lot of feedback and managed to generate a long list of bug fixxes, gameplay adjustments and overall improvements from their feedback. Here is a screenshot from one tester named Roman:

He spend most of his time fishing and presents you a very interesting outfit whilst standing proud in front of a treasure chest he found!

Thank you for reading and thanks to everyone who playtested!

We have a lot of work to do so stay tuned for further updates.
