Post-Next Fest Updates on Demo

My Dirty Little Lake · published

Thanks to everyone who played the demo in Next Fest! This update brings to the demo and full game the fixes and small additions from last two weeks, and one bigger change to the upgrades shop.

The shop

  • The upgrade boards now open one at a time. You start with the Boats, then the Net, the Dogs and Luck open as you buy upgrades. A board that is still shut says how many more you need.

  • Each board gets its own short tip the moment it opens, and the tip waits a beat so a quick click doesn't skip it.

The house

  • Sit on every side of chairs, sofas and armchairs, not only from the front and back.

  • Click the floor to walk there. You'll find your way round the furniture. Click a rug to walk onto it, drag it to move it.

  • The record player always answers E first, wherever it stands.

  • The fireplace's fire now flickers, and its light breathes with it.

  • Your dog can lie across your lap on more seats.

  • When the house mends itself, you hear the hammering and see it sparkle.

  • Holding a piece of furniture, E no longer puts you out of the door.

Getting started

  • The decoration tour is shorter, and the wash room opens with your first find already on the stand.

  • The house tour's last tip goes away as soon as you walk.

  • Fewer tips at the very start: the trash meter's tip waits until you've cleaned a little.

  • Tips no longer show up under the settings or the menu.

  • A lucky or double cast now gets its tip right away instead of waiting behind others.

  • Fixed: pressing E right after the decoration tour could put you back out on the lake.

  • While choosing your first upgrade, clicking outside the shop no longer closes it.

  • Found decorations now show their name in your language.

Controller

  • The lake's buttons show which pad button opens them.

  • The first-upgrade tip names the pad button too.

  • In the house tour, the shelf opens by itself with the wash button picked.

Music

  • Music is a little quieter overall.

  • "This is Nice" now plays on the lake too.

  • The record player has a Back button.

  • The muffled music behind the shop is gentler.

The lake

  • Clouds reflect on more of the clean water.

  • The dogs running behind the wash room face the way they run.
