addedPlaytesting showed that some players was confused with the combined task and diamond purchase view and they were absolutely correct. In the v0.4.6 update I've separated these into 2 different panels which hopefully will make it easier. I've also added a much requested feature, the ability to click the door and enter the house/shop.
addedA lot of things have been added "behind" the scenes in this update, like the first version of the Steam integration. The game now tracks sold crops through Steam Stats and also has a Steam leaderboard, which however isn't visible yet in the game.
