Alpha Update 0.2.5 New Gnome City, Birds and More!

A quick overview of the bug fixes, improvements, and new additions in this update.

New in Little Hats:

• The hidden gnome city of Bolderberg has been added!

• A new furniture store in Bolderberg with 6 new furniture items that the player can buy.

• An art store where the player can buy some paintings and tiles.

• A music store where the player can buy a trumpet and will be able to buy more instruments in the future.

• A blacksmith where the player will be able to buy weapons after the combat update.

• All nature assets have had changes in appearance to make everything fit and work together better.

• When looking at anything interactive a small text will appear right above the point dot in the HUD saying what button to press to interact with it.

• You can now enter some human houses through the chimney!

• All gnome assets have also been improved to work better with the world and fit better with each other.

• All human assets are also improved and now look and work better with the environment.

• The game has had some style changes making everything look a bit darker but more aligned with the vision for the game, and making most colors work together better.

• Human umbrella prop has been made, humans will take out their umbrella when it starts to rain, after the weather update.

• The birds are back! the veteran Little Hats players who bought the game back in September 2021 will likely know that the game had birds at that point, but due to lag they were temporarily removed. I've finally been able to optimize the bird system and they are back flying around the world of Little Hats!

• The game has seen further optimization in multiple areas.

• The player character has been improved, both his clothing and the character himself, now look a lot better.

Fixed Bugs and Improvements:

• Random teleport back to the spawn area cave has been removed.

• The floating box in the windmill no longer floats.

• A missing part of the big building in Steynstadt has been placed back where it belonged.

• Ladybugs, butterflies, dragonflies, should now no longer land upside down, or on their side.

Next week's update will likely add the much-awaited map to the game, as well as a backpack and the ability to put on other clothes! I will try my best to do more bug fixing and optimizing for next week's update. As for 0.2.5, I didn't have quite enough time for it. Tim
