Of Secrets, Chests & Books |Weekly Update #23

Another week, another playtest, and many more bugs to fix. 😄
But I also have a couple of cool new things to share.

1. Hidden Secrets
2. Chests
3. Spring is Here!

Hidden Secrets

I have added some secrets and treasure hunts around the game for players to find that might lead to valuable treasures. 😁💎

I started to hide little secrets around the game, that may lead the player to some hidden treasures 🤫😉#indiedev #ue5 #cozygame #solodev #gamedev #indiegame

One part of this is books that the player can collect and read. These will be used for treasure hunts, but also for other in-game lore and tips and tricks that might be fun and useful for the player.
I am also planning on adding a bookshelf to the player’s house to store all the collected books, where you can revisit them – and who doesn’t love a nice bookshelf or two at home 😁

Chests

Because we now have secrets, we also need chests to hide some awesome treasures in.
So, I have added the concept of chests and containers in general that the player can open and loot, which will also come in handy later on when you can use chests on your homestead to store items that you don’t want to clog your inventory with.

Spring is Here!

While I could bore you with a list of all the bugs that got fixed and the polish that went in, instead I will show you a lovely screenshot showing spring has moved into the game level 😊🌹🌻.

We are really getting there with the game and making good progress, enough that soon I can focus more on content again which means new buildings, plants and animals – how exciting 😁 Stay tuned for those updates!
