Repeated intro
Hello everyone! The Steam Next Fest has ended, but that doesn't mean the demo will stop getting updated! For the time being I'll keep releasing updates to this demo until I feel it's time for an early access release.
What changed
- Gameplay
- UI and audio
- Balance
- Fixes
Today's update actually adds some new content! Meet Jess the baker - the new wandering trader who will sell you Brownies, Bread and baking recipes for Carrot & Raspberry cakes! The Carrot Cake has actually been in the game's files as an item for quite some time now and now it's finally obtainable in-game. Besides Jess, random daily quests have been added to the bulletin board to ensure you have something to do after completing all quests (admittedly, there aren't many). For now these item fetch quests are about bringing one of 4 possible items to Lily, the Blackmisth, the Ex-Adventurer and the Farmer, each one of them having their own set of item pools. Besides that I've made quite a few quality of life additions and bug fixes which should hopefully improve the overall experience when playing the game (and hopefully remove some confusion new players might face with certain mechanics).
As always, I hope you'll enjoy the update!
Full changelog:
Added Jess, the baker wandering trader,
Added the Carrot Cake recipe (for an item that has been in the game files, unobtainable, for a long time now),
Added Raspberry Cakes alongside Raspberry Cake Dough and Raspberry Cake Recipe items,
Added Brownies,
Added a mini sugar rush effect for really sweet foods like brownies and carrot cakes - basically a short speed boost that you only get if you don’t currently have any other speed boost applied,
Added random daily item fetch quests to the Bulletin Board,
Added a notification informing the player that the inventory is full when trying to obtain an item with no inventory space left,
Removed the “Edit armor” button from the inventory - the armor editing part of the inventory UI is now always visible (except for when you’re using a furnace/oven),
Made some small UI adjustments,
The farmer no longer sells eggs, those can now only be obtained from chickens,
Slightly lowered the raspberry bush generation chance,
Adjusted walking in and out through doors/mine entrances to be smoother,
Updated the credits,
Fixed some errors in the Polish translation,
Fixed putting cookable items in the furnace (you should only be able to put them in an oven),
Fixed the Blackmisth and Ex-Adventurer being able to push the player into walls, softlocking the player in the process,
Fixed dropped items sometimes positioning themselves in unreachable places.
