The storage box does not work in multiplayer, which makes transferring items to other players difficult. Thus in the meantime, I've added a new experimental building that lets you share items to others in multiplayer as an intermediate stopgap:
You can now change your hair color independently of your clothing color! You can also change your hair type.
v0.62.0 Changelog: - Added a new experimental building in Multiplayer: Item Dropper, letting you give items to others - In multiplayer, non-host characters can now delete buildings (experimental) - In multiplayer, for new save files, non-host characters should now load their inventories instead of the host's (experimental) - You can now customize your hair type and hair color - Added 21 Hair color options - Added 10 Hair type options

This is YYZ. I am happy to announce that Havendock now has a publisher, Different Tales! After having several chats with them, I believe they have the game's interest at heart and working with them means we can build a better game for you all!
A few words from our new publisher:
Hey everyone, this is Different Tales, a veteran studio and new dev-friendly publishing label that supports extraordinary games and their communities – that’s you all. :)
We fell in love with Havendock right away, spent hours with it, and honestly it’s incredible how much YYZ has accomplished as a solo creator. We’re joining the project to help in those areas where it is most difficult to work alone, supporting the game’s development and helping build up this amazing community. It’s time to gear up for Early Access early next year!
We’re amazingly happy and excited for this journey. See you all around!
