addedWelcome to All Hallows' Eve pt.1The main goal of this update is to improve the general gameplay flow, by making the early game ramp up less punishing, and giving players another option for progression, as well as add some minor spooky events to keep the player on their toes while working. Initially, this was just a single update, but then I realised Halloween was exactly a week later, and I had to celebrate that! My two choices were pushing this update back a week despite it being on schedule, or planning another update for a week later. Is there such a thing as too many updates?

addedPatch NotesAdded customer trades Customers can now offer you additional rewards besides cash, these include seeds and fertilisers. They will give you half these rewards for accepting their offer, and the other half for delivering it. This should both incentivise players to accept more offers, and also provide them with extra stock, which especially helps early game. Customers can offer seeds that the player doesn't yet have unlocked, allowing an alternate path of progression that doesn't require the player to upgrade their store as urgently.

addedPatch NotesAdded seven new random events As to not spoil the surprise, I won't discuss these events here, you'll have to find them yourself... The intention was to add some more minor events, to keep the player on their toes without directly affecting anything important.

addedPatch NotesAdded shaders to enhance visuals Chromatic abberation, pixel jittering and dithering effects have been added to give the game more of a defined, horror aesthetic. Lighting has been adjusted to better fit the skybox. Please let me know if you detect any significant performance decreases from the new visuals.

addedPatch NotesAdded three new music tracks Added 'Ro-bop' as a new random daytime track - it's what robots like to listen to. Added 'Robot's Lament' as part of one of the new random events. Added 'Life & Death' as an alternate menu track for players who have unlocked every achievement.
