[h2]New Characters & Customization[/h2]



Introducing our newest critter family members! Mason the Mothman, Ernie the Duck, Sage the Jackalope, Zeke the Zebra, Jeri the Giraffe and Rosie the Frog.

We’ve also added a new owl head option and new shipwrecked critters (and did some orthodontia for some mammal heads with crooked teeth)!

What other critters would you like us to add in the future? We’re not slowing down, so let us know in the comments or on Discord!

[h2]New Decoration System Mode [/h2]



You can now enter the decoration system by pressing P from the main screen in addition to the usual method. Once in this mode, you will remain in decoration mode until pressing Back/Escape, allowing you to grab any placeable items without having to place or adjust your items one at a time.

Bonus? This mode now includes moving full chests, carts, planters with crops, etc.



That’s right. You will have access to ALL your chests and inventory while in this mode and can continuously place down items without leaving decoration mode.

This might sound small but we think this is a vast improvement to the current cumbersome system and should dramatically improve not just placing new items but adjusting and rearranging old placements.

Extra extra bonus? This new system will also allow us to start working on new features like allowing you to expand and customize your interior space.

[h2]New Clothing Options[/h2]



Looking to upgrade your wardrobe, or even better use new pieces to upgrade the look of your townsfolk?

We have good news! Try out the new ancient Egypt line, try your hand at zen gardening in our snappy new kimono, try out our new headgear in the form of two new cowboy hats and a new wrap, or get cozy with the new sleepytime robe or robe and pants combo (and don’t forget the bunny slippers)!

[h2]What’s Next?[/h2]

Currently, we’re working through our new islands – new quests, new activities, new things to find and new things to find out!

Sneak peak? Ok, but just a tiny bit… our next feature islands are called Port Bella and Lonely Pools, but there are of course their surrounding smaller islands to explore as well (and don’t forget the underwater areas).

Excited? Believe us, we are too!

We can’t wait to get you out there sailing around exploring, salvaging and rescuing stranded critters. To the old guard, who have been with us since the beginning (dare we say even BEFORE the before-times), thank you for staying with us.

[h2]A Thank you![/h2]

To the new players, who are every bit as enthusiastic in their support, thank you for starting this journey and becoming part of our community. We are at a loss to fully express how grateful we are and how much fun this has been because of all of you!



We hope you had a great Love Day! Critters will get heart balloons if you have the balloon cart and it’s stocked with balloons. Unlike real partners, they won't mind you're five days late.
