v2.3.0 is now available!

As of now v2.3.0 has been made available on PC and is being submitted for certification to Apple Arcade and consoles! The changes include:

• New chests that you can use to store items in! Buy them from Mr. Kit's fully-upgraded store and place them on the ground to start using them.
• Optimizations for faster autosaving that should help further reduce some of the frame hitches.
• New menu option to reduce the frequency of autosaving, for those who want that.
• New menu button to manually save and continue playing.
• Fix issue where some mementos in Charlotte's book could be missing.
• More optimizations for critters to further reduce some frame hitches.
• Improved item descriptions to clearly indicate that rarer lamps have a wider reach for their light.
• Fix info panel saying cooked food takes 1 hour when it actually takes 5 minutes.
• Fix for Ted incorrectly using ascended quest speech when he should not.
• Shortened the time that passes between Bruin's quests 5-10.
• Converted Seagull Q21 to a hidden object quest instead of making the player wait for an item from Charlotte.
• Adjusted some quests with Seagull, Lee and Pius so you can hand in rarer items than required if you wish.
• More fixes for getting stuck on a quest where imps expect flyers.
• Fix an issue where the Signet Ring item could be given to the wrong quest first.
• Fix photobooth standees in Jeremy's territory not spawning enough.
• Shortened item descriptions of harvestable happiness, to avoid overly long item panels.
• Fix bug where some items could be floating in the air and inaccessible.
• Fix issues with iCloud where some saves could get partially corrupted, or it could ask you which save to keep twice.
• Fix bug where some saves would fail to load.
• Animal essence can now be recycled into lower tiers.
• Made the animal minder badges easier to get.
• Fix for bug that was causing crafting costs to be way higher than expected when they were paid partially from inventory and partially from other sources.
• Fix for drag & drop into quest UI causing items to sometimes get deleted.
• Add Francesca special gossip that teaches about growing orchards and their benefits.
• Fix for Seagull's final story quest being inaccessible for some players
