Friday Progress Report 275
Faeries will also bring bugs and bug catching, every insect will have a use for Faeries, be it guard bees, livestock worms, silk-making moths and such, we might also make insect collecting on the museum a feature, similar to games like animal crossing, but this feature might take a little while to be implemented as it will be part of the NPC AI update (NPCs will go into the museum to look at stuff you collected).
The Faerie model is done, but we need to implement shaders for the eyes, mouth, blush and other face features, the pink area in the eyes will be replaced by the shader after the inner eye has been assembled so the eyes can have different colors, pupil shapes, etc...
I am also working on a new trailer to replace the year-old one that haunts the steam page and is probably the main reason no one buys the game.

The tutorial will replace the old “guide” screens that appear after the intro (they will still be available on the Guides button in the main menu)
While my brother finishes implementing the tutorial I have started working on the Faerie Outposts, these are buildings you will place at your farm to house Faerie helpers, there is a tiny house on the top where the Faeries rest and store equipment/food and a bin in the bottom where they place harvested goods and you can collect later. These are about as large as a Trellis.
We have finally received the 10 reviews we needed, but… It didn’t help as much as we expected, there was a big jump on the day we hit 10 reviews (27 aug), but dropped like a rock afterwards…
There isn’t much else to report this week.

Added sunflowers to the game.
Changes:
Added a configuration option to automatically combine most seeds gotten from cutting grass
Drastically increased the chances NPCs will open shop rather than do something else.
Bugfixes:
Fixed 3 ingredient effects that were not activating on oil making recipe
Fixed the watering can spilling water when charging the special
Possibly fixed many issues with NPC pathing and behaviour
Fixed seed bags not keeping target
Fixed an obscure null pointer related to the building scene
Fixed a null pointer related to pots
Friday Progress Report 273
The tutorial will cover all the current features, it will be skippable for those who already know how to play.
After the tutorial we will stop stalling and will start the Faerie Village, should take at least a month to finish. This means the AI update is unlikely to start before November, as we still need another month to rework the grass and fix some serious grass loading problems.
We also had our second stream! Please check out SGMiniNikki channel!
As I write this report we are at 8 out of 10 user reviews, we need 2 more to reach the mythical 10 reviews Steam requires to give the game an evaluation and promote it, If you are reading this please give us a review it would help us immensely!
