For One Year changes
Big stuff
A new character to meet: Nora, a traveling inventor and salesperson. Try out her triple-shot bow, and heavy rod, while you're hiking the country!
A new mini-game: Cooking! There are a variety of pots and pans you can collect to cook with. (Make sure to talk to Robin on your way out, to get your first pot!)
CRT filter, for extra nostalgia.
After winning the game, you now unlock a music player.
The "new game" UI has been simplified, making it easier to choose your character's appearance.
Medium-ish stuff
Fish and bird quantities now vary with the seasons, following patterns inspired by real life.
At the conclusion of hunting, fishing (and cooking), the exact food that each bird, fish (and cooking ingredient provided) is now shown.
There's a couple new "rare" treasures you can find in chests around the world.
The game now prefers to show you episodes of stories you've already started, rather than starting brand new ones.
When a town is followed by a town, you may be able to rent a stagecoach to get you speedily from one to the next.
The "Treasures" window now supports paging (previously, if there were too many items for one screen, the extras got cut off by the edge of the game window!)
Fixed a crash if you left town with a skill point, AND the game wanted to warn you that you were dangerously low on food.
More "random hookup" villager graphics, two new stories, more town & tavern backgrounds for those stories, AND you can now choose to "look around" while visiting a town's hot springs - more graphics, there, too! ;)
The final episode of Kitka's story now includes a dialog choice.
Smaller stuff
Fishing ends automatically once there's nothing but logs left.
Rain now has a cooling effect - no more 80° showers!
It can now snow even if the temp is above 32° - just like in real life!
There are a couple new types of fish to fish!
When you've drained your stamina during hunting, the hunting reticle now flashes, as well.
If you've looked at the game logs, you may have seen worrying-looking error messages related to intiface central (the software that lets you use bluetooth-enabled toys with the game). These weren't really errors; the message has been cleaned up, to be less worrying-looking.
Some text tweaks and typo fixes across the game.
And that's it!
This release will be out soon - hopefully in just a few days! Have fun ;)
