Updates & Bug Fixes - Jan 09, 2024

We're kicking off 2024 with a lucky number 13 – it's our thirteenth patch notes!

And boy howdy, this one's a doozy. Yeah, this is how I talk now. This is the 2024 me. I use words like "doozy". Don't make fun of me, it's patch time:

UPDATES

• Fluffybutt. Big Steppy. Sir Lampsalot. These are all excellent suggestions for what you can call your favourite Spirits, because you can now RENAME THEM. YEAH

• Also, you can use arrow keys to navigate in the Spirit renaming dialogue

• Spirit resources in the barn are now "magnetic" and you can pick them up just by moving near them. That's right! Spirit Poop will now fly towards you! You're welcome

• Active potions are now displayed above the stamina bar, like how some students keep all their empty beer cans lined up at the top of their kitchen cabinets

• The big map in the main menu is bigger than before

• Shiny Spirits will not spawn until you unlock Beginner Spiritmaster in the skill tree (unless you use a Holo potion)

• The Spirit Research screen now fits four Spirit cards

• Using a Study Talisman to add a card to your Spirit's deck now has a "skip" option, just in case you change your mind

• After using a Talisman, you now return to the Spirit interaction menu

• We hired a new guy to hold the camera, and he's much better at his job, so now the camera movement is improved (and should jiggle less when you stop moving)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a bug that was causing the tavern to run out of Coffee and other items (the bug was Ossono forgetting to refill the coffee)

• Fixed a soft lock that happened if you saved the game while standing next to the trophy case

• Fixed a bug where Pressing Y+X at the same time on gamepad (or inventory+sort keys) can sometimes clear all items from the inventory rows 2-4.

• Apparently no one was getting XP for opening chests in mines and dungeons!!!! We fixed it, and everyone should be getting retrospective XP awarded to them as well

• Fixed a soft lock that happened when you changed some of the keybinds

• The Poinsettia plant was being sold on the first day of Spring, which it shouldn't be. We locked it back in its winter prison

• Fixed an issue with Spirit storage screens not scrolling on gamepad

• Fixed the Fallen Foe card – it should replenish energy now

• Fixed a bunch of issues with scrollable windows

• Fixed the map auto-centering on the player

• Fixed duplicate island bugs

• Fixed a bug with feeding vitality crops to Spirits in battle

• And the best fix of all for those of you who hate notification badges: the "unread mail" icon on the mailbox now properly goes away when you read all your mail
