🧘 Meet the Zen Master

A brand-new resident has settled in! Visit the Zen Master each day to receive a fresh golden thought just for you — a little wisdom seed to guide your focus.

🛠️ Hide the Farm, Keep the Tools

You can now hide the visual farm while leaving productivity tools (timer, task tracker, notebook) on screen. Perfect for minimalists, deep-workers, and anyone who wants a lighter interface.

🌾 Farm Visual Variants Window

A brand-new menu where you can unlock and customize variants for farm elements. Make your grove truly yours.

🐻 Layer Sorting Fix

Bearnie will no longer hide behind bushes when he shouldn’t. The bear stands proud again.

🍃 New Area Reveal Effect + Optimizations

Discovering new areas now reveals grass in a soft, wavy, irregular fade — more magic, less lag.

🌍 Localization + New Fonts

Support for more languages has been added! Check whether yours is included — and if not, feel free to let us know.

🧩 Scalalbe Panels

Panels can now be scaled! Another step toward letting you tailor the Focus Grove interface to your personal workflow and screen setup.

🛠️ Interaction Fixes

  • We turned off hovering over characters when you buy or sell buildings, so they don’t block you from doing it.

  • Woodlings also stop waving the watering can mid-walk — they only use it once they reach the water source. Their arms thank our programmer.

🐥 Duck & Cat Clickables

You can now click background stuff like the duck or the cat! We’re testing which sounds they make when poked. (For science.)

🎨 Colorful Ambient Mode Icons

Ambient toggles now have their own unique colored icons — easier to spot, easier to vibe with.

💰 Hover Sell Info

Hovering over a building now shows how much gold you’ll get back when selling it.

📒 Notebook Upgrade

The notebook is now sharper and more powerful:

  • Separate entries

  • Custom titles

  • Sorting options

  • Timestamp for every note

More order for your thoughts. Steam post image

🔧 “More Coming Soon” Tile

There’s now a special placeholder tile in Tools & Buildings — because yes, more is coming soon.

Thanks for being here and helping the grove grow. If all goes well, in just a few days we’ll have some big news for you. Stay tuned to the grove whispers. 🌲✨
