Development Update - December 2023
Hello Seedlings!
A dev update to close out the year.
The Big Build Update is now in the hands of a select group of our Discord Community members to do a pre-experimental wander around Quill. They are generally customising their farms, repairing houses and checking out the new features.
So far, we've had some great feedback, with a mix of the odd crash, some bugs, some fantastic ideas and general heartwarming positivity.
The Holiday season has come at just the wrong time for getting the Experimental out for everyone as we need to take a little break to spend some time with our families. A couple of us will continue testing and coding between Christmas and the New Year, and we will all be back beavering away on Jan 2nd.
We occasionally get bugs that send us down rabbit holes, wondering, 'What if that was a game feature?'. These tend to be an easy-to-take distraction from getting our to-do lists done! Here are two recent bugs that made us laugh and wonder equally!
First up, whilst tweaking the new Customisation Catalogue, the bug spirits, if there are such a thing, seem to suggest new plantable types - Bottle Bushes, anyone?
Then, and this is something we admit is interestingly compelling, having Butterscotch follow you around! Let me say now: this ain't happening anytime soon, but it would be handy for any immediate Milk Delivery requests you might get!
We've also spotted what looks like Santa's present store outside Willowdown Farm - courtesy of our soon to be released Customisation mode, of course.
That's it for now. All that is left to say is we hope you all have lovely Christmas and New Year celebrations and that you get some time to do some gaming, perhaps a bit of Kynseed, along with all the other great games that have come out recently.
All the best,
PixelCount
