📝 Latest Demo Update – Patch Notes

Hey everyone,

Here’s a summary of what’s included in the latest demo update.

📌 UI & UX

• UI fixes, especially for ultrawide monitors (21:9 / 32:9 ratios are now properly supported).

• Borderless Windowed mode added.

• Order list scrolling issue fixed.

• “Must be same type” warning message fixed.

• Autosave slot is now clearly labeled as Autosave.

• Taskbar icon added.

• UI no longer allows progressing to the next day while a menu is open (resolved via the new sleep system).

📌 Characters & NPCs

• Character movement speeds increased by ~30%.

• Thief spawning randomness fixed (no more same-looking thief every time).

• Thieves can now run properly.

• Fixed an issue where customers could disappear if a box was placed in front of the register.

📌 Economy

• Change / payment randomness fixed to behave more logically.

📌Shop & World

• Shop interior layout updated

⭐ This may cause issues with old save files due to layout changes.

• Player bedroom added.

• Progressing to the next day is now done by sleeping, instead of pressing Enter.

📌Chests & Interaction

• Chest open / close functionality added.

• Fixed an issue where items inside chests were flipped after loading.

• Added grid snapping for placement.

📌 Thief Book Improvements

• The book used against thieves now automatically returns to its place.

• While holding the book, you can press R to send it back manually.

📌 Performance

• Fixed lag spikes caused by background music transitions.

As always, thank you all for the feedback a lot of these fixes came directly from your reports.

All feedback related to content and larger systems has been added to my list for the full version. I’ll also be sharing a short update soon about where we currently are on the roadmap.

Thanks again to everyone for all the feedback and support!
