Hello everyone


In this update I finished sound system and planting, added some new items like more types of arrow and fixed several bugs.

With complete sound system, sounds like footsteps and button clicks were added and more will be implemented in next updates.

In next update I will have to change parts of game saving code so old save files (0.0.1.3 and below) won't be functional anymore.

Complete list of new features, tweaks and bugfixes below:

Added

  • Footstep sound on grass, sand, wood, dirt and water
  • Hit sound for rock and iron plate
  • Slingshot sound
  • Second HUD slot for ammunition (arrows, pebbles, …)
  • More arrows (stick, flint, iron) that differs by accuracy
  • Arrows and other items in second slot can be switched with 'X' by default
  • Switching key 'X' in keyboard setting
  • Sapling for planting trees
  • Chance of dropping sapling from trees
  • Cottonseed for planting cotton
  • Chance of dropping cottonseed from when harvesting it
  • Sounds to all buttons in menu
  • Field is now build through building menu, not with hoe (old field will still be loaded but can be only destroyed by hoe and can't be planted again)
  • Collect sound for items on ground, berries and cotton
  • Spade durability decrease when digging
  • Sound for typing in inputboxes
  • Sound for opening and closing door and chest
  • Sound for destroying objects and buildings by hammer
  • Sound for water splash when fishing

Removed

  • Ability to equip berries and wheat
  • Ability to craft scythe (will be removed completely with future updates)
  • Creating fields with hoe
  • Defense and Misc group from building menu

Changes and fixes

  • New drinking sound
  • Switched sides of hotkey number and amount number drawn on inventory slots
  • Cotton item image has been changed
  • Bushes image and collision mask were improved
  • Cotton plant collision mask is slightly larger
  • Moving sticks or other burnable items to firepit/furnace with Shift key, did not add fuel to it
  • Ignite button in furnace interface was slightly transparent when highlighted by cursor

Game update3 Aug 2026BugfixingHello everyone A new bugfix has been released. The main reason is a bug (as reported in discussions) in which story islands could be assigned to the same game world location and fail to spawn when needed, thus blocking story progress. There is now a check when the world is loaded for this island ID collisions. When there is any empty position on a map, a new random ID is assigned. When there is…Major update2 Mar 2026Unstuck UpdateHello everyone I've just released a small/ish update (at least from the player perspective), with the most prominent feature being the one that should probably have been in the game from the start —the unstuck button. Even after all my attempts to mitigate it, someone always gets stuck between objects. So I finally got myself to implement it. ːlunar2019crylaughingpigː As for my bad habit, I ref…Major update3 Sep 2024Overhaul UpdateHello everyone, It has been a while but I bring you a new Update, which is mostly technical but also brings several graphical and gameplay improvements. For some time now I've been (really) slowly converting the game from its original engine (GameMaker Studio 1.4) to its newest iteration. That led me to rewrite almost every line of the game's code. The only downside of this conversion is that t…
