It's been almost two years since we released the game already, and we're eternally grateful you enjoyed the game.
After going through feedback and undergoing some tests, we plan to release a new update soon and even DLC soon!
Expanded schedule at Night
With the new update, you'll be able to hang out with the bachelors to improve their affection. You can only trigger heart events during the daytime hours though.
Free DLC: Promised Ring Set
To make it easier for you, we will provide a free item set that includes one of each item to make your adventure much easier. If you feel it's a bit challenging, add it to your adventure!
Fling DLC #1 Doctor Ken
With popular demand, Doctor Ken will be available as DLC in the near future. It's currently under testing, and we'll release it for everyone to use soon! Flings are a new set of heart events for NPCs, where once you install the DLC, you'll be able to date and bed some NPCs in the game! In this case, you trigger their events AT NIGHT only. Talk to the good Doctor and see what you learn about him and he just might reward you.
Upcoming Fling DLC, Sir Schwarz
We're also working on Rald's father as a DLC soon! So keep track on our social media for that!
Notes:
All fling DLCs are planned to be priced at $4.99 each.
As discussed in a previous post, we won't be implementing a separate file for mobile release.
For further announcements on when the DLC will be available, follow us over on twitter --> @FullServiceGame.
If you are in beta_test branch please move to the new alpha_test branch in the next 24 hrs. beta_test will soon be required for testing the next stable release so we have created alpha_test branch to test new experimental features. Going forward all experimental features will go to alpha_test and beta_test will be reserved builds heading shortly to stable. These changes will take affect at noon GMT on the 15th of February.

We’ll be busy training our skills this week, as it’s the return of Double XP: LIVE! Make sure you get involved – and reap extra benefits in War’s Reckoning. Read on for all the details…
Attention skillers! Double XP: LIVE lands on Friday, February 18th at 12:00 Game Time. This is your chance to enjoy 48 hours of Double XP on any skill. Use your time over 10 days, and pause the timer whenever you like!
Remember, we’ve got new Slayer Creatures arriving at the end of the month and you’ll need 95/105/115 Slayer to tackle them, so this is the perfect moment to get training. Plus, you’ll go even further if you skill in combination with War’s Reckoning – more on that below.
Oh, and do you need any Proteans or other skilling items? Look out for our 'Time to Train' Treasure Hunter promotion, which will be back from the 17th!
War’s Reckoning is here, and you’ll have noticed that it runs until February 28th, which is… hmm… gosh, would you look at that… all through the 10 days of Double XP LIVE!
Well you know what they say, there’s no such thing as a coincidence – and sure enough there are some neat synergies between the two events. Enjoy double Slayer and Reaper Points, and benefit from War’s extra special Safe Deaths – like Free Deaths but even better, because you respawn with your items intact!
Please note that Safe Deaths are not available for Hardcore Ironmen or F2P and as mentioned last week the +50% Slayer XP from tasks will be disabled during Double XP LIVE.
We’re having a week off! We'll miss you too. See you next week.

The Defence Pylons in Temple of Aminishi are now working, and attacking players, as originally intended.
Using Tarddian Crystals on Attuned Crystal Boots works properly.
Increased the range of loot-sharing so that all players within a multi-combat boss encounter are given rewards upon the boss's defeat. This will also prevent a single player obtaining all drops from a group boss fight.
Waterfiend no longer disappears after activating its ability while fishing Wobbegongs.
Fixed an issue where the Winter Wood Wand would float during various animations if sheathed.
Community Showcase
Our fabulously talented community serves up another batch of fantastic art!
It is a pleasure to give you news after these two weeks of break and rest. We are now ready to complete the game for the release still planned for the end of March.
These days with Turnip we focus on bug solving and polish and I think we can say that we are aligned to deliver a demo / playtest / beta mobile version for the end of our current sprint, I mean the end of February.
On my side, I spent time making the game available for low-end mobile devices. This required some adjustment in terms of performance. More precisely I needed to turn off some post-process effect for very low-end devices.
We also rework a bit the sound design of the game to make them less high frequency (on the very good advice of one of our viewers on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/toccgameslive)
The rest of the time I barely fixed the main bugs which were preventing the game to be playable (I guess it was important ^^.
Turnip completed the skin list and we finally have our animated skins ^^. Take a look at some of them :
I really think these skins are cool ^^. You will have to play to check all others.
We still have a lot of work to do but we are approaching the result and we are proud of what we make. The wait is almost over for those who would like to test Magnet Crusher on Pc or Mobile. We hope you will enjoy it and if not share your feedback.
More good news about The Wandering Village incoming :D You can now sign up for our closed beta via our newsletter, here: https://strayfawnstudio.com/sendy/beta-test/ We're looking forward to all your feedback and ideas!
