Welcome to Elderfield!

[chris-cote]

I hope you all enjoy the Alpha Demo!
Please leave any bug reports, balance feedback and general suggestions here in the discussions tab. I will be reading through everything.

This is a complete unexpected surprise for me, Strange Times in Elderfield is one of my all time favorite albums so I imagine this in relation to that. Either way I hope development continues to go smoothly. I will absolutely drop my feedback here later when I've played more.

Literally played all day from the moment I found out about it. SO FUN! And perfect timing. Telling everyone to check it out. Not a bug, but I'm a bit bummed that the trash cans are one and done search's, I thought they would reset on mondays with everything else. Also the first time I played it was confusing that I didn't heal when I slept. Other than those two nit-picky things I have no complaints. congrats on putting out a demo more complete than most triple A games.

Glad you've been enjoying the game! There are a lot more trash cans coming in the full game, so hopefully that makes up for it ; )

Not sure why I thought the shipping bin was a storage box but i lost my tools. Now i don't have the option to buy more. I'll probably start another file tomorrow but if there's a way to get a replacement please share.

There is no shipping bin, so I am not too sure what you mean. If it is the bin outside of the farm, that is a storage box.

is time passing too fast or did i do something? i looked through all the exclamation marks in the house, cooked a pizza, walked outside, found a stick and went back to equip it and looked around a bit more (found 3 bucks) and was looking at the computer near the bed and was about to go outside to look at the garbage thing it shows a moon thingy and day 2 already... took about 8.5 minutes according to save file time stamps.. (saved day 1, 9 something, assuming it's 24 hour clock rather than 9pm right off the bat and then save again day 2 midnight right after the moon thing)

That sounds about right - a full day/night cycle is about 20 mins. There is no requirement to sleep and no downside to the days changing, so I wouldn't be too concerned by it being day 2. There is no rush!

Ya it was the bin outside the farm door. I loaded a couple times trying to take a bath to reload the tools from the old man but nothing was bringing them back, so that's a little bit of a bummer. I'll make a new file and just refrain from using it.

If you have a male character, when mining there is a brief frame of being the female character.

Thanks for the report! I will look into it.

I entered the farmhouse at 2350, on day 5, in order to avoid the extra load of the farm after a new day starts, when I exited the farmhouse on the new day it notified me that there was a farm visitor but i couldnt move away from the farm door. I also wasnt able to open the menu or close the game and had to alt f4. I don't know who the farm visitor was. Edit to add, it also auto saved the bugged state

Sorry I've been busy this week and just saw this reply. Do you still want my save file? I copied it when the bug happened.

No worries, this was fixed already so all good!
