[ Bug-Fixes ] · Fixed an issue where the "Islander Basic Problem" sprite wouldn't appear on various places on the UI / in-game. The icon has now been restored. Furthermore, if you find a weird, white but blank box appearing on the UI, or in general in-game, submit it as a bug report to let us know. It's always appreciated. Thank you!
[ Bug-Fixes ] · Fixed a bug that would cause the baby previewer in Fredrick's portion of the Town Hall to break, not updating islanders or allowing you to generate what a baby would look like between two islanders.
See the announcement at the bottom of this post. [ Facial Markings ] You can now properly draw on islander's faces using the Facial Markings feature in the Islander Creator. It no longer changes color based on the skintone of the islander. You can now use a "fill tool" to fill in a selected area with the current color. Your old facial markings will not be usable anymore. You'll have to remake i…
[ Credits / Endgame ] Added an "endgame" to New Day that'll trigger the credits for the game. I will not tell you how to access this, as you'll have to do that on your own. However, I'll give you a hint: Fredling Baby, Zephyr, and a random percentage that gradually rises after a certain action is taken. [ Confessions Changes ] The school confession area has been completely overhauled with HD mo…
Ahh, finally, the issue is solved. Enjoy the latest update everyone! [ Bug-Fixes ] · Fixed a bug that caused the makeup to corrupt and permanently vanish from your first islander ever created if you saved and exited the Islander Creator on any other islander.
There is a current bug in New Day to where, if you load an islander with makeup that isn't the 1st islander you have ever made and your first islander has makeup, the 1st islander will lose all of their makeup pieces. For now, I've reverted the update back to the previous version. Now, the only bug for makeup that exists is the blink/mouth buttons not working. Please wait for a fix to be out be…
[ Reminder ] Remember to backup your pre-update save files following the latest update. I've seen a lot of people mention how they didn't look at the Steam post from November explaining how and now their saves/islanders are completely gone . Please make sure to view the post titled "About V.06...". Thank you. If you're having trouble pressing New Game, delete your entire StreamingAssets folder.…
First off, I just wanted to say how proud I am of New Day for its development cycle in 2025. It was a great year. We had a fantastic run with multiple amazing updates that fixed issues in the game and allowed for more replayability. And I wanted to say thank you to the fans of the game for sticking by us as we develop this experience for you all. Genuinely, we couldn't have done it without you.…

Anywho, this post isn't regarding the anniversary of New…

( Islanders ) · Evil islanders will now nod at you if you enter their apartment and they have a high opinion of y…
[ MASSIVE FIX : PLEASE READ ] In New Day, accessories have never been able to transfer to another save file because of issues with the islander's save file code. However, recently, I've adjusted said code to add new variables so that save files can be updated/not break with future updates. This had a drawback... unfortunately, accessories that you've previously given to your islander are no lon…

( Meals ) · Sub Sandwich · Onion Rings ( Ingredients ) · Onion · Bread · Pampa's Bread Crumbs [ Bug-Fixes ] · Fixed a bug where islander's who aren't attracted to the gender of an islander would sometimes accept a confession from that gender. · Fixed a bug that created a s…

[ New Feature: Confessions ] Yes, it's finally here. The confessions update. I know, I know, it took a while to get it out to the public... but trust me, we were working on all sorts of other cool things to release alongside this update. It was 100% worth it in my opinion. Anywho... confessions are little cutscenes that can happen if an islander gains a crush on another islander. You're able to…
[ New Feature : Islander Portraits ] When saving an islander, you'll get the option to generate an islander portrait or not. Islander portraits will be used on in-game UI in replacement of the silhouette portraits that currently reside in the game. However, if you choose to not generate a portrait, the silhouettes will still be used. I'm sure I've replaced all islander UI instances with this ne…
Ignore the fact that the game states it's in V.04. [ Additions/Improvements ] ( "Find my Water" Minigame ) · Fairy islanders will no longer be able to participate in the "Find my Water" minigame as their size conflicts with winning said minigame. ( Islander Creator ) · Added a new hairstyle in the Islander Creator... it may be a reference to a popular YouTuber who recently spoke about New Day!
WARNING: This update will break all previous rooms you've created. You'll have to delete & recreate them. [ Importing your Friend's Islanders! ] You can now import islanders into your game. All you need to do is to get the islander's (albeit lengthy) code from another player and copy/paste that into the Islander Code Importer in the Islander Creator! This is a huge step in the right direction f…

Mute-Deaf islanders will also not react to their apartment doorbell ringing in the…
