[Dev Log] Additional Content and advanced systems
Hello! 😊
Before we prepare for the final journey to the Sigil of the Tree content, we're currently wrapping up the blocked-off sections and hidden content in the areas released so far.
Accordingly, the next update will include many maps and various mid-bosses, along with mini-games and puzzles, even though it is not a new area update.
Please check out the key contents below!
Trial of the Waterfall
As some of you may know, there is a hidden space behind a waterfall somewhere in the Village of the Sun.
Fittingly named 'Trial of the Waterfall,' behind this waterfall lies a challenging puzzle involving 'pushing' mechanics and a hidden boss that you would never have imagined.
Temple of Dance
Somewhere in the eastern jungle is a hidden temple dedicated to the study of the monkey's dance. What could possibly happen in this scary yet exciting place?
Dusky Town and the Tennis Match
The path at the entrance of the Moon Forest Village that many of you have been curious about is set to open.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the corrupted Silk Worm Warrior, a bug named 'Blanc' wearing white shorts is ruling over the Dusky Town. What will happen in Dusky Town, where tennis is loved?
Anglerfish Cave and Temple of Cuisine
You'll be able to play the hidden temple and Anglerfish Cave in the latter part of the sea area.
In the temple, you can acquire a new sea area hat, and in the cave, you'll meet a new mid-boss.
Penguin Island
In the southern part of the Snowfield, you'll find an island full of penguins.
Solve the creepy mystery hidden among the adorable penguins!
Tucker's House
On the western path of the Central Forest, there is a secluded cabin. There, you can meet Tucker, who is researching the trash monsters.
Town Portal
Before facing all the bosses, a portal that allows for quick travel to the nearest village will be added.
If the boss battle is tricky, return to the village to heal and buy items that will help in combat before challenging again!
Additional Features for Hats
Various functions are planned to be added to the hats that have not had specific features so far. Stay tuned!
Value Adjustment for Mini-Games and Items
The rewards for mini-games, which were low compared to playtime and difficulty, are set to increase. With the adjustments in the value of in-game content, the values of items will also be revised.
The update is scheduled for the third week of March. We hope many of you will enjoy 'Ogu and the Secret Forest' even more with the preparations we've made.
Thank you!

Snowfield
Snowfield is a region filled with snow, ice, and a conspiracy unfolding in secret. Baby Ogu must join forces with the small detective 'Paul' to uncover the hidden secrets of Snowflake Village.

You can charge up and release a powerful headbutt. The longer you charge the headbutt, the farther and more powerful it becomes.
Use the headbutt to break through solid obstacles or deal significant damage to enemies. In Snowfield, you'll encounter puzzles and enemies that can only be solved or defeated with a headbutt.
Jewel Crafting
In underground areas and caves across all regions, some rocks can be broken to reveal jewel-crafting stones. In Snowfield, you can find jewel crafting tools that allow you to craft jewels from these stones.
Currently, excluding two jewels in the Central Forest, you can collect 10 different jewels. which can be displayed in the museum.
Three Clues
The main quest in the Snowfield area involves finding three clues hidden in Snowflake village with Paul.
Uncover the purpose of the mining in the Crystal Cave
Reveal what research is being conducted in the Research Base
Discover the source of the white fruits on the high mountain
New Collectibles
Added are various new collectibles, including Snowfield-themed interior items, collectible bugs, totems, and more.
We plan to spend about 1-2 weeks on build stabilization, followed by completing the Central Forest and ensuring 100% progress in each area. We are working hard to develop the official version set for release in the first half of this year.
Thank you!

Hello!
We've been diligently preparing the Snowfield update, while also making improvements to some existing content. Please see below for more details!

Further content additions and improvements in accessibility through the Central Forest caves are planned. (* There are no Drawing Journal for those maps yet.)

[Snowfield] Dev Progress
Hello! ːsteamhappyː As we move into winter, the temperature has dropped significantly. Watch out for the cold!
We are currently developing the next update area, the Snow Field. Most of the content in the Snow Field is already designed and planned, and we are targeting a mid-January update.
Let me briefly introduce some of the content you can expect in the Snow Field.
Located in the west of the world, the Snow Region is a beautiful but mysterious place. Baby Ogu needs to help Detective Paul of Snowflake Village to unravel the conspiracies happening throughout the Snow Region.
New Puzzles
In the Snow Field, you will encounter new puzzles themed around snow and ice. We are preparing various winter-themed puzzles, including ice slides where you can only move in one direction and snowball rolling.
Crystal Mines & New Collectible Elements
Beneath Snowflake Village lies a mine where you can mine crystals with mystical powers. The crystal mine is connected to various parts of Snowflake Village, so you can move quickly by riding the mine cart.
Additionally, in the crystal mine, you can find the item for new collectible elements that can be displayed in the museum. These new collectibles will also be updated so that you can acquire them by exploring regions around the world.
Divine creature of the sky
In the Snow Field, you will meet the Sky Deity, Rahno, who needs Baby Ogu's help. What could have happened to Ranho, who takes the form of a giant sky crocodile?
We will keep you updated on the development of the Snow Field until the update is released.
