New Cooking Minigame!
1.1.1 Content Update
This content update introduces a cooking minigame to Beacon Pines. It takes place in one of Luka's memories from when he was a small child, similar to the fishing memory that already exists in the game. In this memory, you'll take burger orders from familiar characters in town. Using the charms you've collected, you'll mix-and-match burgers and toppings to satisfy each customer's peculiar order. And along the way, you'll get extra snippets of side story for each character.
If you're playing the game for the first time, the cooking minigame will be introduced naturally to you as you progress through the story.
For those of you who have already completed the game, don't worry, you can still enjoy the new minigame. The quickest way there is to bring up The Chronicle, go to the "Warehouse Of Horrors" turning point, and play the "struggle" charm. Then simply proceed through the dialog and head to the Last Chance Diner north of town square. Click on the middle photograph to enter the memory, and get cooking!

1.0.5 Patch
1.0.5 Patch Notes
Bug Fixes - Various typo corrections - Fixes to a few spots where the narrator text didn't match the VO - Fix pathing with Luka and Iggy at The Source. - Disable walkie talkie in epilogue if you've already visited Rolo. - Chill cop branch on The Chronicle is now drawn in completely the first time when you finish that branch.
Quality of Life Improvements - Adding most recent save date/time to pause screen. - Swapping "Exit" and "New Game" button position in settings so that "Exit" is at the bottom. Also making the "New Game" warning bigger and brighter. - Support for back button to exit The Chronicle. - Add ability to exit the museum video if already been viewed once. - Gate going to town square in the epilogue if you haven't visited the treehouse yet. - Fishing mini-game gives more info when all current bait/catch combos have been caught. Adding extra dialog when fishing is completed. - Removal of ghost monkey at the end of the credits, which seemed to confuse people more than we'd expected.
Miscellaneous - Minor music volume tweaks. - Adding late Kickstarter backer survey names to the credits.
Praise for Beacon Pines

“It is a polished, delightful experience." Escapist Magazine
“I enjoyed every minute of it… I miss its characters now that it's over.” Rock Paper Shotgun
Meanwhile, preparations for the Perennial Harvest Festival continue. The Beacon Beacon spoke to locals for their thoughts. Town bully Iggy had this to say:
“The Festival? Wouldn’t be caught dead there. Made by wackadoos, for wackadoos, right Tish?”
While Mayor Augustus Valentine had nothing but praise for Perennial Harvest. “It’s, um, been great working with William Kerr. He uh… he seems really nice and wants what’s best for Beacon Pines. Is… uh, is that enough for an interview?”
Roxy Cotter and her friend Fitz were less glowing in their assessment of Perennial Harvest. “Hmph. Just a bunch of grandstanding from a whole lot of do-nothings,” said Roxy. “Definitely. But at least they know how to cater.” Fitz followed up.
Whatever your thoughts about Perennial Harvest, the Beacon Beacon strongly recommends you pick up a copy of Beacon Pines, and leave us a review, Rolo appreciates it!
