IMPORTANT - IT SEEMS YOU MUST SWITCH TO THE BACKERS BETA UPDATE TO GET THE LATEST VERSION

Go to your steam game settings and opt in to the BACKERS beta update branch to update to 2.17.6

This is what's in the current build.

– Added trees and flowers (including an orchard area where you can grow trees)

– Added gift giving

– Added magnifying glass to see relationship points in your chest storage (animation in progress)

– Added character select in Quickstart

– Added particle indicator on harvestable crops

– Added ESCape functionality in some HUDs (meaning you can now use esc to exit menus!)

– Added keyboard support for text input (finally!)

– Added volume control in main menu and in in – game (helpful as the game starts a little loud)

– Added facial expressions

– Added fast forward functionality of dialogues

– Added queueing of missable cutscenes (in progress) (not finished, but you should no longer miss any cutscenes by accident. The only changes needed now are fixing the transitions when this happens as it’s quite jagged)

– Added animal care

– Added farming tutorial when starting a new game.

– Story content till Summer Day 3
