Happy November, everyone! As I write this, it's snowing hard outside. I live in Canada so everyone expects a lot of snow, but winter doesn't normally start until late December here, so this is unusual! It's very soft and quiet, though, so I'm not complaining. Also, I am sitting next to a fireplace so I'm quite cosy. Tell us your favorite season in the comments!
Before we get to the comments, though, let's dive back into what we've been up to.
DLC/ EVENT RETROSPECTIVE
This week we had TWO events: Holoween and Haikuween!
Holoween gave everyone who played the game between 30th October and 1st November three Holo-Hunter Potions, which increased the Holo Spirit encounter chances from 0.2% to 10%.
Haikuween asked people on our Discord, Twitter, and in these Steam posts to submit a spooky haiku or short poem to be in with a chance of winning a code for our Halloween DLC!
Both events are over now, but they were both a lot of fun. If you participated in either, thank you! We hope you now have many Holo Spirits and/or an appreciation for the art of haiku. We'll be announcing the winners on our Twitter, so keep an eye out!

Just before Halloween, we released our biggest-ever update, which included a ton of new content, new Spirits, and a lot of bug fixes and much-requested updates to the game itself.
The full patch notes are loooooooooooong, so here are the highlights:
- You can buy more rocks, grass, and trees to replace all the ones you destroyed
- NPCs will now accept gifts on their birthday even if you've given them two gifts that week
- Zed's Spirit Taming quest is easier to complete
- Boss Chests will keep their appearance after you steal them
- You can close mines, at last
- An even bigger greenhouse
- New furniture in Paolo's shop
- One-click stack transfer in the inventory
- Adjustable day length
- A potion to reset your skills
- Plus: Various accessibility changes, card tweaks, and bug fixes
Here's the new free content:
- Three new Spirits: Bonfire (Fire), Catsket (Dark), and Womr (Earth)
- A new Haunted House exterior
- Iron Bat Archway
- Gravestone
- Two skeletons
- Tiny skull
- Tongue rug
And all of that was totally free for everyone! But if you want to spend a lil more money on supporting Moonstone Island, we also have...
Halloween DLC
Our Eerie Items DLC is also available now! It includes more decor:
- Carved Pumpkin House exterior
- Cobwebs
- Jack-O'-Lanterns
- Candles
- Eyeball rug
WOW so much stuff!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm, now that Halloween is over... what's next? What's the next big holiday? We can't quite remember. Bonfire Night, right? Then it's American Thanksgiving, yeah? But then there's something else... something... big. I forget. Sure would be cool if we had another big update planned for some big holiday in the future. Hmmm.

Translation: When you stare into the Voidno for too long, the Voidno stares back.
Thank you all again for your continued love and support, and your suggestions for making the game better, which mean that we can do updates like this one. We hope you had a great Halloween, and don't forget to tell us about your favourite season/holiday in the comments! Mine's Autumn. I like hot chocolate and fires.
