Hello everyone! Today I am happy to announce version 1.4 update to Idle Fields. This update brings out a brand new way to play Idle Fields with the first game mode, Skill Locked. More saves are also available and Smithing now has two smelters and some experience/recipe balancing changes.
Skill Locked
This brand new game mode allows you to play Idle Fields in a new way. When creating a new save, you can now select between the regular mode and Skill Locked. Skill Locked will by default have every skill locked. As you start, you get to choose 1 gathering skill to unlock for free. Any content within other skills will not be available until you have purchased the skill that it requires.
Save Slots
Idle Fields now allow you to create up to 3 different saves. This is so that you do not have to delete all of your main progress if you wish to play Skill Locked. You can also make multiple saves if you wish to challenge yourself in other ways.
Smithing
The last update, v1.3 introduced Smithing. I have received much feedback on this skill being a lot slower than others. To combat this, a new smelter has been added to the mountain area. All smelting recipes have also been reduced from 3 ores to 2 (exception of Steel). Crafting tools never provided experience. This issue has been resolved.
Changes
New Gamemode: Skill Locked. Progress Idle Fields 1 skill at a time! In this mode, every skill is locked by default. You must use gold to unlock the next. Be careful, each skill becomes more expensive!
Introduced new save slots. 3 slots are available now!
Changed how saves work to try and fix an issue where the game crashing deletes all progress made for the session.
Added an extra smelter with a new worker for the mountain area.
Tools now provide smithing xp when made at an anvil.
Balloons are now a lot more common.
The Minecart event in the mountain area now gives resources instead of exchanging them for xp.
Fixed an incorrect tile by the lake in the farming area.
All smithing recipes for making bars now require 2 ores instead of 3.
Achievements
Finally, I want to ask for your opinion. With the introduction of a new Game Mode, I am curious if everyone wants more achievements for reaching milestones for Skill Locked specifically. I wanted to publically ask before adding any since I realise it would require completing the game twice to fully unlock all achievements. Let me know what you think!
Yurl carries the heavy weight of regret over his crime against the orc tribe 20 years ago. He's settled for a life of exile, grateful his son Karn is speaking to him again. The lascivious orc he once was is long gone, buried under tons of guilt.
Keoni is an Arch-Mage devoted to his sex god. He partakes in regular sex rituals to please his god and increase his magic. But these are always short trysts, one-time affairs. He longs to have a permanent partner to share his magic with.
Can mage and orc come together to right old wrongs and find what's missing from both their lives?

Here are a few other changes
Reduced the drop window from 24 hours to 23. This will let you be able to open the game at the same time every day.
Reduced the probability to get a Man Butt Crate from 10% to 5%. This means that you'll get a regular Butt Crate 95% of the time now.
Fixed a bug that made Crow Girl Butt white instead of a dark shade of purple.
Removed deprecated butts (Thong Butt and Butt Naked Butt) from the Butt-a-pedia. They will still show up if you do own them.
If you're curious about my other game (or if you want to know what I sound like), you can check the free demo below. It focuses on the character creator, but I plan on letting you interact with all my original characters in the full release.
This hotfix 1.1.0 will fix the leaderboard being stuck at some point for some players. And add the possibility to see the list of the all the titles and their required number of clicks.
In addition to the 3 Epic players and 8 Highlight players listed below, 139 other currently active players will make an appearance in the Special Player List. Some of these players have a Booster Slot. Booster Slots can be activated via Booster Crafting. You can further customize the player's abilities by using Booster Tokens. Epic players reflect a standout performance they put out during a specific season during their career. They also feature unique card designs stylized after photos taken during the season they are based on. These players will also have "Boosters", which will enhance certain Player Stats they possess. Highlight players have different stats compared to their Standard counterparts, and they can also be further developed. Sign these soccer greats and make your team that much stronger!
