🔷 NPC's waiting for gifts now show an icon above to indicate that talking to them will also gift them the item
🔷 When interacting with Hazel, she now has a shop sign icon that says when you can buy cats
🔶 All maps should now show the player position more accurately
🔶 A wooden sign in one of the mines was updated from being a placeholder
🔶 Hopefully improved setup for NPC interaction
ᅠᅠ• Priority is first given to NPC's before animals and before interactables
ᅠᅠ• It also puts priority on permanent sim NPC's over any temporary NPC's in the level
ᅠᅠ• This system allows future flexibility in priority as needed
🔶 Any followers of the player will now stay behind the player a bit better to make targeting and visibility easier
ᅠᅠ• This setup also allows tweaking in the future

🔷 Each goods store has a box to sell any spare items

🔷 A new 'Unstuck' menu option to help when stuck in the environment!
ᅠᅠ• The prices will be slightly under what you can make at the lemonade stand, except for...
ᅠᅠ• Wanted items, which are cycled through over time and give extra profit if sold when a store wants them
ᅠᅠ• The list of wanted items is a smaller set of randomly picked items which will be refined in future updates for seasons and the different demands of different villages
🔷 Very first step of character customisation: selecting hair colour when starting a new game
ᅠᅠ• There's 8 different colours to choose from

🔶 Fixed some 4k at 30hz issues of LMB click, including goddess statues and onscreen D-pad icons

🔶 Cat AI has been upgraded slightly to avoid staying still all the time (plus lotsa naps)
🔶 Interact priority is given for books over other interactables in order to make it easier to pick some books up by beds
🔶 Lemonade stand bartering minigame reduced to one round as well as a small bit of presentation tweaks to make it easier to see and use LMB on the button prompt as intended

🔷 NPC's now have friendship levels which will tell you their current demeanor towards you

ᅠᅠ• Most of the system's dialogue text is largely placeholder for this first pass, but we'll be properly fleshing the text out in future updates
🔷 Fae Wanderers
ᅠᅠ• New curious wanderers, in the form of fairies and gnomes, will start appearing in villages from time to time
ᅠᅠ• They haven't discovered their full purpose yet, but interacting will usually make them talk a tiny bit
🔷 We've introduced a first pass of a player-created tasks system
🔷 After the prologue, you'll be granted the ability to begin creating your own tasks
ᅠᅠ• There are a few task types at this stage
ᅠᅠ• The system should be flexible and expandable to offer player driven tasks for helping you manage your goals
🔷 A basic ownership permissions system has been added
🔷 Fruit trees and bushes outside houses are now marked as being owned by the house and will require permission for the player to take (if the residents haven't harvested it first!)
🔷 The basic UI to track whether you have permission can be found by interacting with the monuments for the building and requires you to raise the family friendship rating to a certain level
🔶 The darklight is now a standalone item to make it easier to use - further uses of it will come in later updates
❌ NPC's should no longer mistakenly wake up for a short time during their slumber
➕ And, as always, a slew of behind the scenes fixes and optimizations

🔷 Pick items and set their prices at each podium.
ᅠᅠ• Customers will browse and comment on items, giving you hints on what they are after and if the price is right.
ᅠᅠ• Sell any animals you own as well. Make sure to feed them to keep them healthy enough for sale!
🔷 Customers will occasionally come by with items to trade-in which might get you a bargain to sell on
🔷 Hire staff to run the counter by choosing from existing NPC's in the local haven.
ᅠᅠ• Each has their own unique stats making them more or less suited to the role and affecting what level of pay they expect.
ᅠᅠ• Over time they'll gain experience and level up to improve their stats.
ᅠᅠ• Be aware that they'll expect wage increases when their stats level up and when the shop is doing well!
ᅠᅠ• Workers have a stamina gauge that will go down each hour that they work.
ᅠᅠ• If stamina gets too low, their ability to work will be impacted - balance their workload and feed them to boost their stamina back up.
🔷 Gain Reputation with good customer service and reasonable prices, all of which raises your region and world Reputation.
ᅠᅠ• Reputation will slowly rise for your shop's local region and will eventually spill over into world reputation.
ᅠᅠ• Higher Reputation unlocks various perks to get more customers, allow higher prices, better bartering skill, unlocks customers from faraway regions, among other perks.
ᅠᅠ• Each region has their own preferred items which, along with the price of an item and stats of the worker, will affect how much Reputation you gain or lose. These might swing the balance of how often that region visits your store.
ᅠᅠ• (The Reputation system is still Work-In-Progress and will likely change to a more player customisable system in a future update.)
🔷 The Blacksmith Shop now allows a second worker to carry out the crafting! Their stats affect the success and quality of the results.
🔷 To aid with the second worker, the Blacksmith Shop now has its own stock of ore which you can order for when you don't want to contribute your own. Higher levels of Reputation will unlock better ore to buy.
🔷 The Goods Store and Blacksmith Shop are now available for purchase in Poppyhill (with their own music variations as well).
🔷 Ledger has had some improvements for the additional sections now available.
ᅠᅠ• You can access a transactions list from the Accounts tab to track exactly what has gone on in your shop recently.
ᅠᅠ• For help on any screen, you can press F1 or click the left thumbstick to bring up an info panel.

🔷 Setup for strawberry and blueberry jam recipes.
🔶 NPC owned Goods Stores and Blacksmith Shops now more closely match the way player owned versions work.

🔶 The item screen should now group items by star rating and the inventory should now show count per star rating in the selected item panel.

🔶 Shop queuers now take a bit of a break between complaining about queues.
🔶 Various minor UX tweaks with options screen, XYB slot assignment, calendar, mailbox gamepad controls, money notification, and SFX for various shop screens.
❌ Fix for keybindings not saving and loading correctly in some cases.
❌ Fix for shop prices not always changing based on season.
❌ Lemonade stand should stop at the correct number of hours spent there and won't allow you to start it without having any items to sell.

ᅠᅠ• Where applicable, this will mark it on the world map with a location to go to.
ᅠᅠ• Pressing F1 or Clicking Left Stick will briefly trigger a trail from the player in the direction of the exit you need to go towards
ᅠᅠ• (Though this might not always be the shortest route, as many shortcuts are hidden all over the world!)
🔷 There's an 'Add New Task' option at the top of the task list after the Prologue now, due to the Active Task using the A button to set it

🔷 Goddess statues upgraded experience currently underway.
ᅠᅠ• Gift to each of the 6 Goddesses during the week and on the last day of the week you can assign 'grace' (which can offer boons)
