Pumpkin Days - Pumpkin Days


One of our team members was out on a break this weekend, so no major bug fixes in this patch. However, we did fix a bunch of smaller stuff as well as added in some new features.

NEW
  • Added new library books. Some may be unlocked over time.
  • A new merchant shop has been added that sells wood and ores at the market on Saturdays.
FIXES
  • Jungle trees now drop brown wood instead of smoky wood for balancing
  • Possibly fixed unmineable white rocks in the mine.
  • Fixed some more typos.
  • Fixed some missing info on the map.
  • Fixed incorrect recipes.
  • Fixed issues with picking up certain quest items by expanding the collision box.

We're focusing on adding controller support at the moment, so bug fixes and polish may take longer than usual to patch in. Thank you again for your patience as we continue to develop the game.

A really small pumpkin patch. Please note that we may not work on major bug fixes until controller support is implemented. Sorry if this causes any inconveniences.

NEW
  • Added the herb seeds properly, and added ginger and garlic seeds.
  • Because cloves and cinnamon were changed from plants to trees, if you have them planted on your farm they may be bugged. If this happens you need to remove them and replant.

FIXED
  • Error alert if a player has a different version of the game when trying to join multiplayer.
  • Fixed bug where NPCs would not talk to player after hitting a certain heart level
  • Players can now use cloth fabric on the pillow when crafting furniture.

And there were other small miscellaneous bugs that are taken care of as well. Thank you again for your support.

  • Herbs can be broken into seeds and grown. Please note some may have placeholder plant models. (I also want to make an amendment, I accidentally forgot ginger, garlic, and mushrooms. I will add those in the next patch I am sorry about that.)

FIX
  • Changed fruit buy prices for balancing
  • Fixed disappearing poop.
  • Bug fix where animals can't be moved
  • Fixed furniture duplicating in multiplayer
  • Fixed bug where TV says learnt all recipes despite not having learnt all the recipes.

We have another Pumpkin Patch. There are a lot of little things we fixed that weren't really worth mentioning in the patch notes, so it feels pretty bare, but I assure you, we did a lot of work this week.

New Content

  • Butter church can be unlocked to make butter
  • Dye Pot can be unlocked to make cloth for crating
  • New furniture available for the crafting bench.
  • Food Status Effects for some foods.

Major Fixes

  • Worked on Optimization
  • Possibly fixed difficulty in picking up spawned items in the map
  • Rice can be broken into seeds.
  • Price adjustments for the Cheese Maker and Milk processor

There are a lot of major bugs with animals that we're going to work on for the next patch. Once that's been fixed up we will be working on more optimization and controller support. Thank you so much for your patience and I apologize for the disruptions in the gameplay as a result of the bugs. If you have any questions or comments please let us know.

Shifting Focus on Optimization

The plan moving forward is to focus on optimizing the game some more. We did work on optimization before we launched, but it seems like we may not have gone far enough. We know a few players have been struggling with the game, and I think we have lost game sales from people who didn't come forward. Which is unfortunate but all we can do is fix it for the future. So, if you are struggling to run Pumpkin Days, I humbly request that you hold out for maybe 1-2 weeks while we look over the problems and clean things up.
We're confident we can make the game run smoother.

Controller Support being made another priority

We don't know how long this will take, but this will be a priority for next week and we hope to have it implemented this month. So if you have been struggling with the controls. Don't worry we got you.

Between those two things and bug fixes, there won't be a lot of work on new content, but hopefully, this will improve the quality of gameplay for everyone. Thank you, everyone, for your patience and support.
