addedIn the Taste of the Wind survey, fishing was one of the most requested mini-games. I've added it to the full version, and you'll be able to fish at specific locations in Sagecity and Blossom Vale!
addedRemember arm wrestling with the old lady? In the demo, there were two ways to beat her: either through verbal sparring or pure strength. I've now made a mini-game for the strength challenge, and as your martial arts knowledge increases, you'll get big buffs in the mini-game! Also, the demo only had one verbal option, but the full version now has 10! Complete all 10 and you'll unlock a recipe~
addedI'm also adding new mini-games to work shifts, some appearing in the late game. You can see one in development in the video~ (Some of you suggested that many mini-games rely on text/logic, and adding more action-based ones would be refreshing. I'll work toward better balance!) (Action mini-games won't be too hard and can be skipped)
added【Story Progress】30 recipes completed! Still need to add more lol
added【Story Progress】But art is still being drawn, and there's still so much more story content to add.

It's been a month since the last update, and I've been working hard on development during this time💪

In the Taste of the Wind survey, fishing was one of the most requested mini-games. I've added it to the full version, and you'll be able to fish at specific locations in Sagecity and Blossom Vale!

Next, I've also made some other mini-games for exploration, like playing Gomoku with villagers.

Also, some mentioned that all restaurant backgrounds in scouting looked the same. I've now drawn unique backgrounds for each restaurant!

(Guess which restaurant this is?)

【Story Progress】

Basic stories for Sagecity and Blossom Vale are done

All employee affection storylines are complete

Many side NPC stories are written

30 recipes completed! Still need to add more lol

But art is still being drawn, and there's still so much more story content to add.

The main story is being configured, writing more dialogues and random events, setting up recipes, Stone Town fragments, encyclopedia system, etc. are still in progress.

Overall progress... is hard to estimate right now, but it's coming soon!

Thank you for your patience!

That's all for this update!

Thank you for your continued support of Taste of the Wind!

Hope to bring you the full version soon (bows ːsteamhappyː
