Another round of bugfixes and info on next patch!

Bugfixes

• Villagers no longer magically teleport trash to their hands if assigned to different jobs then re-assigned to trash pick-up.

• Villagers no longer freeze and become unresponsive when picking up trash while having trash already in their hands.

• Villagers no longer refuse to pick up trash in general.

What is next?

• I will be working on doing some quality of life tweaks/balance pass. I aim to have this done tomorrow or the day after. I might break it up into smaller updates to get them out faster.

• Some of the quality of life issues I plan to tackle for this upcoming patch are...

  • More responsiveness for the mouse. Highlighting stuff you're hovering over and a visual to confirm you're clicking on things.

  • A job board so you can see who is assigned to what.

  • Keep your villagers assigned to trash duty permanently until you assign them to something else. They wont reset themselves to idle if there is no trash.

  • Villagers will slowly die if you run out of food instead of you just straight up losing the game.

  • Villagers should be more responsive when you switch jobs. Right now there's like a 1-2 second pause when they switch. I want to make them more snappy.

• In the near future (next week probably) I'll aim to have a guided experience for new players that explains the game way better.

• Balance pass would probably include nerfing the farm values just a little. At the moment it's way too easy to just get food.

I'll keep the patches coming as fast as I can! There's a lot on my list to improve and fix. Thanks again for playing and wishlisting!

Best,
