(audience cheers, whistles, yells WOO)
I'm your host, Kate the Community Manager! Let's take a look at our lovely contestants!
(please imagine the following patch notes in the voice of someone reading out prizes on The Price is Right, thank you)
- Upgrade your gardening today with Boomerang! You can now use the boomerang to cut down wilted crops WAY faster than before!
- The Decoration Station now has TABS for better organisation! (audience cheers and hollers)
- You all asked for it, now you're getting it: Gates can be rotated!
- Finding fishing too hard? Change the difficulty in our brand-new Fishing Difficulty option! (audience goes "oooooh")
- No more tears while making wallpaper and tiling – you can now copy and paste patterns!
- The New and Improved Time Dilation PotionTM now works in both the Spirit Barn and the Greenhouse!
- You'll no longer have to button-mash through buying 999 seeds, because you can now buy and sell items at shops in bulk!
- It's a Blacksmith Blessing: Ferra now sells Copper and Iron in both ore and ingot form, as long as you've completed both her quests!
- You could go home with a brand-new fireplace that actually outputs light, because we fixed them!
- You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here! Ossono's Tavern has announced that every customer is now subject to a daily limit of 5 coffee, 5 wine, 5 beer, and 3 dish of the day, because let's be real: That's plenty! (audience laughs)
- You could win your very own TOWNHOME... because we took away some trees and grass in town to make room for a home! Home not included.
And now for the quick-fire round:
- BUG FIX: Exiting from the final battle through the menu will no longer soft-lock the game by using up one of the rift seals
- BUG FIX: If you've unlocked the Bracelet recipes and then used a Skill Potion, you can now find the recipes in chests or purchase them from Paolo
- BUG FIX: Certain ground tiles that were untillable are now tillable
- BUG FIX: Fixed (definitely this time!) the bug with Wildwood not registering as banished in Spirit Research
- LIGHTING FIX: Reduced the size of light spots on Jack and Jill Lanterns
- LIGHTING FIX: Moved the light spot over the entrance in the fully upgraded greenhouse
- CHEAT FIX: Fixed a grass exploit that would spawn multiple items
- GENERAL THING WE DID: Locked the Halloween item recipes by default (for new games)
And that's all we have for today!
Wow, thanks, Kate. Those were some great patch notes. And the winner is... you! For getting to keep all these cool new features and changes. Hooray!
