Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for wishlisting Bloomstead! As a solo developer, your support means the absolute world to me. We are getting very close to our Early Access launch this month, and I wanted to share a massive development update with you all.Here is a look at what has been added to the game over the last few weeks:⛏️ The Deep Mines & Combat: You can now forge an Iron Sword and brave the dark depths! But be careful, bouncing slimes and undead Skeletons guard the iron ore down there.🧑🌾 A Truly Living Village: The townsfolk don't just wander around aimlessly. Characters like Elara and Lyra will now actively hoe, plant, and water their own dynamic community gardens alongside you!🎁 Friendships & Gifts: You can now hand out fresh bakery goods or seeds to the villagers to increase your friendship meter. Check your interactive Journal to track your relationships—if they like you enough, they might just send you free daily items!🐴 The Ranch: You can now buy up to 15 Cows and 18 Pigs, and watch your very own horse gallop around the paddock.Thank you again for being here early. I can't wait for you to move into Bloomstead later this September! Let me know in the comments what feature you are most excited about!
