Autumn Season & Winter Season: As temperatures begin to drop, the leaves fall from the trees and the town is decorated to celebrate the harvest. Grab a cup of tea and settle in by the fire. We have a lot to talk about.
Rockfall Mountain: The name comes from the stories told by the mining crews of old. They had their work constantly interrupted because of the rocks that fell from the top of the mountain, blocking the entrance to the mine. There you can find the entrance to this abandoned mine. See what you can dig up.
House Upgrade: Having your own house is already pretty neat, but what if you could do more with it? Raphael can help you out with that. If you have the money and the materials.
Farm Upgrade: Sometimes all you need a little extra space. What about an even bigger farm? Talk to Shinnosuke at the Town Hall during business hours and let's see what we can arrange.
Furniture & Decoration: Add more personality to your farm house with furniture. Purchase what you like, place it inside your house, rotate, and move it around to make your home really feel like home.
Go talk to Raphael, he'll certainly have a lot to sell you.
Fixes: - Areas no longer glitch when loading save file - Fixed intro cutscene with wrong hair/skin color - Fixed dialogue font size being too small to read - Fixed UI number font - Fixed lots of collision issues - Fixed being able to stay in shops after the closing time - Fixed stamina not lowering when using the axe - Fixed some objects not being able to be picked up - Fixed not being able to cut down stumps - Fixed player not colliding with the villagers - Fixed movement between areas - Birds are now more consistent
KNOWN ISSUES
- Can't feed chickens - Sometimes you can get stuck at the walls on the mines - Red squares can be seen at your home when holding the hoe - Hoe tool sometimes stops you from interacting with anything else. You need to change it if this occurs

Information on the recent update
Hey everyone,
We wanted to make a post sharing some information about the new version of the game.
We're aware that there are various bugs and problems with the new version of Orange Season. We want to apologize for the state of the update and let the community know that we’re working hard on fixing these issues.
Please do keep in mind that the game is still in early access; 99% of these issues will not make it into the final version of the game.
With that being said, we want to thank everyone for all the support, feedback, and patience. We've been going through all the bug reports and the team is tackling them one by one. In the meantime, we will remain available for any questions, bug reports, or other queries moving forward.
Naturally, updates are on the way
From the Dev Team:
"The demo we released is a way for us to show you what's being developed, to test and get feedback, as well as to give everyone access to new content.
The team is working hard to bring all the content from the old game back as soon as possible. It's a slow process, as it is pretty much remaking the game from scratch. But we are putting all of our efforts into it, and we're aiming to deliver a fun experience for the players.
In the upcoming weeks we will focus our attention to fix the bugs and making the demo more stable. We are fully aware of all the issues and the team will work to fix them. We know everyone has expectations, and we want to meet those as best as we can."
In the meantime, it's still possible to play the old version of the game, along with your old save. In order to do so, please follow the steps below:
1. Go to the properties of the game via steam by right-clicking the title in your Steam library. 2. After, select 'Betas' from the left side menu. 3. Select the build you like to play. “old_version” beta branch. (4. If you want to go back to the new version, repeat steps 1 to 3, and select the word “none” as step 3)
Thanks again and speak to you all soon,
Robert, Rafael & Kazz

More information on the changes to Orange Season
Hey everyone,
Hope you're all having a great week so far!
Today, we have more information to share with you about the update coming to Orange Season, also some more screenshots of the game. We have a lot to go into so lets go:
The update will happen next week, 01/12/2022. This means the game will be on the new engine and will look, feel and play differently than before.
Below are some screenshots and more information on the update:
What does the update mean: - After the 1st of December when starting the game, the new version of the game will load not your old save. The old version will still load your old save, but more on that below. - If you're getting the game for the first time, this will be the new version. - There won't be updates for the old version of the game anymore. - Your current save of the game will not carry over. - The new version will only have the spring season for now but more will be coming.
New features: - The game has received a main storyline. - New key art. - Updated In-game visuals. - New map. - Environments, - Lighting, - Dialogue options, - Sidequests, - Soundtrack, - Animations, - And other quality-of-life improvements.
Information on your old save: It will be possible to still play your old save/ the old version of the game. in order to do so you'll have to:
1. Go to the properties of the game via steam by right-clicking the title in your Steam library. 2. After, select 'Betas' from the left side menu. 3. Select the build you like to play. “old_version” beta branch. (4. If you want to go back to the new version, repeat steps 1 to 3, and select the word “none” as step 3)
Important, the old version will only be available till April 2023. We will keep everyone updated on how this will go. but for now, that's the end month for the old/current version of the game. We feel this gives everyone enough time to still finish off some things in the old version.
We are super excited about the update! We hope you are too.
As we have spoken about before moving the game to another engine has been a lot of work, but we'll be able to add many more features to the game now.
