-More jump scares -More eerie events -Optimized game -Possibly fix freeze screen (Need more testing - Someone report with the latest new patch on a new game and see if you encounter this freeze screen. Report through forum or discord. It requires a long playthrough without stopping. 3+hours on one sitting.)
Will continue to add more horror stuff.
Populated Items Build V1.48
-Populated world items and other farm items in the world. This is a semi-big update. This helps with intro balancing and people who don't want to farm. This also encourage players to cook which is a main feature to Harvest Island. Because Harvest Island is a jungle -forest like island, it makes sense for the island to be filled with food.
Ending Bug Auto pathing Build V1.47
-Fixed ending auto pathing -Fixed autosave bug for ending
Additional Horror elements Build V1.46
-Added more jump scares and weird things happening on the island. This is a semi big update.
One big feedback from the community/review was that the game doesn't have enough horror. I will add those slowly every update patches and make sure that this game is a horror farming simulator. The updates will continue until this game feels like a horror game which was my initial game design. The game will feel incredibly different from first release to when I finish implementing all the horror ideas. Give me like 2 weeks-1 month to finish these ideas.
Normal Mode Balancing Build V1.45
-Increase crop yield by +1 -Changing tides requires less energy to us. -Starting energy in Normal mode is now 125 instead of 100
These changes requires a new game in normal mode to be applied.
Fast travel bug Build V1.44
-Fixed a fast travel bug early in the game
Harvest Island Guide
Exploration in Harvest Island is difficult. So I have made a guide to help with that. This guide will help with the main story and it's spoiler free. It'll be posted in the steam forum discussion. And will also be working on other small guides as well. Enjoy! If the community grows bigger, I will translate these guides later on.

Reduction to crafting + Balancing Build V1.43
-Reduce crafting at the home bench. This will help with the game's early progress a lot. -Adjusted the gods blessings on the god statues. Most of the god statues will require one of each unique items. This will encourage players to utilize the god's buffs and help speed the gameplay up. -Fixed Sheep pen open bug
Because the game is story driven and one of the greatest highlights for Harvest Island, the game mechanics needs to be a lot easier to achieve a faster pace storytelling.
Food Buff Story mode BuildV1.42
-Buff food for story mode by 2x -Translation update -Removed Garbage Dump -Removed SFX Plugin. This has caused the freezing crash, I believe. If your game breaks, you'll need to start a new game.
Tomato Crop Bug Build V1.41
-Fixed bug on tomato crop where you can water it infinitely without cooldown
