Welcome to Elderfield changes
This update adds seasons to the Patrons version of the game, however it also adds a number of new features to the free demo.
NON-PATRONS CHANGELOG:
Completely reworked the game intro by adding an animated intro cutscene, and new tutorial scenario which introduces a brand new storyline (to be expanded on later). I’d recommend everyone start a new save file just to take a look at this sequence, or you’ll be missing some new lore.
Added a new ranch animal: Black Goats (Always unlocked, requires the Barn). You can have a mix of both these and Tentacows in the same field.
The Tax Man now states the names and quantity of required items in his dialogue
The player’s Difficulty setting can now be decreased at any time from the bed (excluding custom difficulty). This cannot be increased again once changed.
Made some changes to how Adrian's mail is sent to make it more reliable
Added some failsafes to Adrian’s dialogue. Talking to him again may fix several existing bugs relating to his tasks
Fixed blessing/curse messages sometimes not showing
Updated most blessing combat messages to match the new curse message style
PATRONS CHANGELOG:
Added a new mechanic: Seasons Each outdoor map (aside from the Old Woods) now has 4 seasonal variants The seasons are: Season of Rebirth, Season of the Harvest, Season of the Witch, and Season of Death
Added 1 new flower
Added 4 new forageables
Added 3 new types of weather
Added 8 new music tracks
All crop and flower seeds are now seasonal. Their seasons are listed in their item description. Crops can only be planted in their respective seasons, and will die if not fully grown when their season range ends. Flowers will die when their season range ends even if they are fully grown.
The Tax Man will now only request crops which are available in the current season (to be expanded with new crops later)
Added 6 new seasonal news broadcasts
Added a new type of crop: Cash Crop (crops which are only meant for selling, but sell for more than other types of crops)
Added 7 new seasonal Cash Crops, which can be purchased from the Seed Merchant on Mondays and Fridays in every season except Rebirth
Added seasonal variation (and some day/night variation) to all generic NPCs found around town.
Fixed Bone Honey not being consumable
Fixed spelling for the Blast Kiln recipe
Fixed the Forge Upgrade (t3) not being added to the Tinker's Desk when unlocked
Changed "Forbidden Snack" recipe to require Shyfish instead of Radiant Scales, and increased some other material requirements
Changed the Kaal Idol recipe to no longer require gold plates (to prevent a potential softlock)
