Hello everyone :)

this update brings a small balancing and bugfix patch. Below you can find all changes in detail.

Bug Fixes

• Added a 1-second cooldown after fishing to fix strange behavior that occurred when reeling in a catch and immediately starting to fish again.

Changes

• In the tutorial, Task 3 and Task 4 have been swapped so you no longer have to wait for the wheat to grow before being able to continue with another task.

• Wheat seeds are now already placed in the toolbar at the start of a new save.

• Added mining sound effects for coal, copper, and iron.

• Added an animal cap to prevent animal overpopulation. The animal breeding behavior has also been adjusted again.

Thank you all for your feedback and your support! Your feedback helps me make the game even better, and I’m grateful for every suggestion and every bug report. Keep playing and enjoy the updates! :)

Punched

In some situations, there are terraform operations which just lead to a very negative result and are not part of the progression. There is now a warning that prevents you from doing these operations.

Look out! It's a big one!

Between November 17th and November 20th 2025, Wee Boats will be featured in the Cozy Quest Festival!

We’ve just released a small but important patch:

• Fixed a game-stopping issue where the Holy Fire animation that could prevent progress in one of the dungeons.

Thanks to everyone who reported the problem - your feedback helps us keep the game running smoothly!

Fixed some bugs, and implemented achievements system (I'm still going to add more I'm just testing for now)

1- fixed a bug where the loop gets reset in night 2 if the player miss an anomaly and goes back.
2- fixed a bug where the second door still functions after a win.
3- fixed few anomaly bugs.
4- Added Jokes on you achievement.

Soooooo as some of you know, I was going around meticulously placing knockdown colliders on trees one by one because Unity doesn't allow terrain trees to use trigger colliders. Well, I got fed up with that after two courses. There's thousands of trees for God sakes. So I looked into it and discovered that I can get the tree data on terrains. Using this, I created a tool that would allow me to instantiate collider prefabs (with trigger colliders) at the position, scale, and rotation of each tree on the terrrain. EUREKA!!! I was gonna be here for the next decade doing it the previous way... Anyway, I went back and undid the weeks worth of hand placed stuff and swapped it all out for the shiny new method which took about 1/10th the amount of time. So all the colliders for all the courses have been updated except for Volcano. I may leave it as is since there or no leaves on the trees there (so no knock down). Lmk what you think

Jay Ingle - lead developer, designer, and artist:

Today we can look at a new environment in Star Child, I call it Fire Mountain! I'm pretty happy with my weird alien plants, and their subtle animation when you touch them.



You can see below a decent example of the type of combination-ability platforming you will need to utilize to get those upgrades! We also have animated lava, some random lava particle spray, and some fireballs.



I can't show you every environment before release, but hopefully this will wet your appetite for more!

New content:

* AN-2 transport plane and improvised bomber variant are now available at air bases in North Vietnam plus at new small airstrips (many of them in Laos and Cambodia). Some are flown by NPC pilots.

* MIG17 and MIG21 now have bombs and K-13 I.R. guided anti air missiles (press left CTRL to turn I.R. seeker on/off).

* MIM23 Hawk radars and S.A.M. launchers added to some U.S. bases and missile cruisers.

* Experimental Rocketstrap for player has been added. It has about 40 seconds flight time at full throttle. Hand weapons can be used while flying. Skill in rocketstrap improves fuel efficiency. Green variant has 33% more fuel but weighs 10% more (and requires skill lvl 10). They can be refueled at helipads. They’re found in some larger bases in fenced off and guarded areas and various other locations. Of course these weren’t actually used in the war for obvious practical reasons.

* Special forces wiretap mission. These will require crossing the border into Laos or Cambodia, so due to the distances, longer than normal mission time will be allowed.

* Unexploded ordnance added in some areas (Mk82 +Mk84 bombs, they may explode if damaged). Also more (pre-made) explosion craters added.

* V.C. munitions workshops added. Providing these with materials from unexploded ordnance will provide +3 mags, +3 RPG2 rounds, +3 hand grenades and +3 explosive arrows when you resupply anywhere for the following 25 to 50 minutes. It will also increase supplies in province.

Against tanks, bullets hitting rear will do low damage, plus a chance hits elsewhere will cause damage (but even lower damage).

* U.S. fighter aircraft intercepting enemy planes has been updated.

* Conditions for when V.C./N.V.A. player is taken as P.O.W. has been updated.

* Artillery should now respawn gunners of correct faction (eventually) if nearest base has been taken by the enemy.

* ZU23 and ZSU57 now shouldn't spawn gunners (and thus can’t fire) if loading game and nearest base has been taken by U.S, and they shouldn’t be able to respawn crew either in that case.

* Helipads should now spawn helicopters of correct faction even if nearest base has been taken by the enemy.

* Airplanes spawning on the yellow markers should now be of the correct faction even if nearest base has been captured.

I will try to return to making more frequent updates and being more communicative. I've just been dealing with an unfortunate event in my family, but I'm feeling better now.
