📢 Dear Executives!

Thank you for your ongoing support, feedback, and brilliant suggestions. Patch 1.3.0 brings three of the most requested features from our Discord community — plus a round of key fixes and improvements.

• 🔍 Insights MetasaveYour discovered insights are now saved in a metasave. When starting a new game, you can choose whether to carry over knowledge unlocked from previous playthroughs — or go in blind.

• 💰Sell Your IPsNeed a cash injection? You can now sell intellectual properties you’ve created or acquired, opening up fresh strategies for making money.

• 🥇 Box Office RankingsTo boost immersion and the competitive spirit, we’ve added a new screen where you can compare your movie’s box office against others released the same month.
  ➡ Note: This feature is partially backwards compatible. Older movies will show a regenerated competitor list since we weren’t previously saving that data. Rankings for these films may not reflect their original competitive landscape.

• Premium Feature Score: The bonus was correctly affecting box office numbers, but the letter grade in the performance screen was stuck on ‘C’. It now properly reflects your actual performance.

• Framerate Time Bug: On uncapped framerates, time could behave erratically or even freeze. This has been fixed — time now ticks forward as it should.

• Box Office Spoiler Fix: Previously, you could see final box office numbers too early via the My Movies section. That loophole is now closed.

• Localization & UI: Minor localization updates and UI tweaks for a smoother experience.

To our incredible modding community:
Thank you for the real logos, real talent names, real IPs, real posters (yes, even all 7,000 of them), new themes, genres, balancing tweaks, and more.🥳

You're absolute legends👏 We can't wait to see what you build next!

🎥 See you on the red carpet!

We've pushed a small update to both the demo and full version with the following changes:

Both Versions

• Increased text size on multiple UI elements to make it more readable on handheld screens.

Full Version

• Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when using Storm Guy's ability after completing a stage.

• Update Server function out of sync

• Fixed issues with ability values ​​and text descriptions

Morning,

Just a very minor patch to the demo build with two small fixes:

• Previous ticket fix also broke the ticket, sorry… fixed.

• Controller deadzones should now work properly.

• Complete tutorial overhaul: Every step is now crystal clear, guiding you through planting, harvesting, and trading with on-screen tips and highlights.

• Intuitive button states: UI elements instantly show active vs. inactive functions—no more guessing which action you’re about to take.

  

• Dedicated milk crates: Milk collection crates and empty product crates can now be distinguished.

  

• Seed-to-crop tooltips: Hover over any seed to see exactly which crop it grows into and how long it will take.

  

• Rich item HUD: View an item’s name, type, and remaining durability or uses while holding it—no need to open menus.

  

• Auto-pricing system: When you list goods for sale, suggested prices are assigned automatically—just confirm and trade!

• Three NPC tiers: Rich, Middle-Class, and Poor visitors now have unique names, preferences, and price-acceptance thresholds for a more dynamic market.

  

• Friendly skeleton aide: If your funds drop to zero, sleep peacefully for two days and a helpful skeleton will appear to lend you a hand.

  

• Smooth map traversal: All collision glitches have been fixed so you can explore beaches and groves without ever getting stuck.

• Faster rotation controls: Shelves, displays, and other placeable objects now rotate more quickly, making setup a breeze.

• Satisfying placement animation: A new spin-and-snap effect adds polish every time you position items.

• Safety confirmations: “Are you sure you want to sleep?” and faction-selection dialogs prevent accidental choices while navigating menus.

• Detailed calendar view: Track day counters, seasonal events, and special festivals right in the pause menu—plan your harvests and sales with confidence.

  

• Improved navigation markers: Clear signposts and map pins make finding your home, storage, and key stalls effortless.

• Enhanced NPC animations: Watch buyers browse stalls and wait in line with updated, lifelike movements that bring the market to life.

“Coming soon in the v0.5 update: we’ll be available in 11 different languages for our valued players—stay tuned!”
