Call for Early Testing of Version 1.0
First, we apologize for not providing any updates since our last announcement about version 0.9.0.
After careful consideration about this version, which has many elements closely connected to version 1.0, we decided to cancel this release and include everything in version 1.0.0 to give players the most complete experience possible.
And the time for version 1.0.0 is coming very soon!
Currently, we have uploaded this version to a separate test branch available for all users who own the game to download at any time.
With limited resources and many challenges as shared in previous announcements, we call on and hope you will help us by playing this early version to provide feedback about bugs or issues you encounter, so we can perfect the game before its official release at the end of this month!
The test version will be available from the moment you see this post until April 25, 2025.
- How to participate in testing: switch your game branch to the test branch following the instructions at the end of this post.
- How to report bugs/issues: comment directly on this post or contact us via Discord
- We sincerely thank you and wish you happy gaming!
FAQ:

A: Absolutely, however we cannot fully guarantee save file compatibility, which may lead to unforeseen issues during gameplay. We will also announce this when officially launching.
If you still use your old save file to play and encounter problems, please report it as a bug and contact us for support if you cannot continue playing.
Q: Can I continue using my save file from this test version when the official release launches?
A: Yes, this test version is fully compatible with the official release, so you can continue without having to start over.

A: We hope everything goes smoothly so we can launch before April 29.

Here's a quick look at some of the features coming in the upcoming 0.9.0 and 1.0.0 update:
1. Sprint Ability
Many users have requested a running option, and since walking at a slow pace was rarely needed, we've removed it. Now, you can sprint at a faster speed by holding Shift—and don’t worry, there’s no stamina limit!
2. Free Placement Mode
The complexity and variety of object sizes in the game have made the grid system somewhat inconvenient, especially when placing objects close together or near walls. This new feature will completely resolve those issues!
3. Nature Exhibit (Insects, Plants, Flowers)
The setup is now complete—all that’s left is for you to fill it with your collection! (The museum will be arriving with version 1.0.0.)
4. A Sneak Peek at Festivals
Here’s a small preview of what you’ll experience during one of the in-game festivals. Spring Festival brings the ability to decorate the Town Square with flowers and bonsai pots. During this time, flowers will also bloom more frequently throughout Chill Town and the surrounding islands! Oh, and don't forget—the festival also comes with exclusive rewards! (The festival will be arriving with version 1.0.0.)
Update 0.8.0 - French language and house relocation
- Added French language
- Added house relocation option when talking to Ella
egarding the French language, the translation is not completely finalized as it needs some editing. Our translator will review and make the final update later. However, you can already experience it quite well in this version.
We would like to sincerely thank Kulture Gaming and Poudre de nuage for helping us translate the game into French!
And finally, don't forget that version 1.0.0 will be coming soon in Q1 2025 with many exciting major contents!
Important announcement regarding our current situation and upcoming plans
Dear players,
First and foremost, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the support and following from all players. Your companionship has been an invaluable motivation for our development team.
It has been quite a while since our last project progress update, and we have received numerous feedback from backers through negative reviews on Steam. Today, we would like to share some updates to address your concerns and provide you with a more comprehensive overview of the current situation.
Development Progress
As you may have noticed, we haven't had any updates since August, and our devlogs have been sporadic with limited new information. This is partly due to team members dealing with personal family and health issues that required immediate attention (as mentioned in our May 2024 announcement).
Financial Situation
Our main challenge currently is financial difficulties. To maintain operations, we have had to diversify our revenue streams through developing and publishing Hot Springs alongside the Peach Party team, as well as updating and launching new DLCs for Chill Corner.
Regarding our Kickstarter campaign, we want to be transparent with our community while respecting our contractual obligations. While the final funding amount is publicly visible on Kickstarter, the actual amount we received was less than half of that figure after accounting for various campaign-related expenses and fees - which were beyond our control. We regret that we cannot disclose the exact details due to confidentiality agreements, but we hope this helps explain why we've had to operate with significantly less resources than what might appear on the surface. With this limited capital, we maintained a team of 8 people (including 4 artists, 1 animator, and 3 developers) until November 2023. After that, we used personal funds to maintain operations until March 2024.
Current Situation and Future Plans
The Early Access version of Chill Town has sold over 6,000 copies in the past 9 months (counting 15% refund rate). This revenue is only sufficient to maintain basic living expenses and repay previous development loans. Due to declining revenue in the past 4 months, the team currently consists of only 2 developers with no artists.
Official Release Plan
We plan to launch the Official Release in Q1 2025 with new features:
- Museum System
- New Quest Lines
- Seasonal and Festival System
- Bug Fixes and Gameplay Improvements
Due to the absence of artists, we will combine self-development within our capabilities and use appropriate assets to complete the game.
Project Support
If you enjoy our project and would like to support us, please help spread the word about the game to more people. This will help us gain more resources to continue development.
French Translation Update
We have integrated French language support into the game and will update it in an upcoming patch. Special thanks to @kulturegaming and @poudredenuage for their voluntary translation contributions!
Once again, thank you for your patience and support.
Best regards,
Low-Hi Tech
