Today is a big one! Here’s a list of new additions and changes we’ve made this update.
New Additions
- The map has been updated! The outdoors has been touched up with more greenery and more props, and the school has received an update too. The school’s interior layout has been simplified so that you’ll no longer be getting lost in a maze. There’s also a bunch of new locations to explore!
- Updated the house editor with plenty of improvements, including a new paint menu, the ability to change materials, and the ability to paint your house exterior. The paint menu now includes an eyedropper tool, so you can save specific colors to use for later - this is especially useful when painting multiple items the same color. I’ve also added the option to use Advanced Mode for precise placement of furniture, the same way it worked in the original game.
- New restaurant: Max’s Mystical Dining! The items here give you long-term boosts that last for a few hours of real time.
- You can now buy custom emotes! Visit Emotion Dance Studio and talk to Johan, or open the shop via the Emotes menu. The shop will have a new rotation of emotes available every week!
- New furniture and gear items available in the shops!
- Shooting Star improvements: The new Starry furniture set is now available exclusively from shooting stars! 3 stars will fall each night, the value of rare prizes has been increased, and the real-life daily limit on stars has been increased.
- Secret shops that only appear at certain times! These shops will sell exclusive items not available anywhere else. You might also find a familiar face in one of them…
- French localization is now fully available for testing! (Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and German are mostly complete, just a few more translations left to be done)
Improvements
- Optimized the game’s performance to hopefully make it easier to play on mobile. Memory usage has been reduced, and there should no longer be massive lag when walking by other characters.
- Mall stores have been updated! Check out the new clothing available in the mall.
- Your RP name will be saved when you leave the game
- You can now save an RP name to a Custom Outfit
- Updated the shop UI
- “Other” category in the Inventory menu - you can view emotes, special items, and equip your Titles here
- Increased the capacity of house save data
- Sell Item window updated to let you sell multiple furniture items
- You’ll no longer accidentally open players’ profiles while participating in minigames
Bug Fixes
- Fixed tools not getting unequipped when entering a different zone
- Leaving the school during cooking/science class will no longer close the minigame interface
- Emotes menu now works on mobile
- Having the house editor open should no longer prevent you from using other tools
- Cooking: Players should no longer be assigned ingredients that have run out
- Fixed a bug allowing you to equip 2 of the same gear
- Attempted to fix a very rare glitch that causes the school day to glitch out and stop time
- “Add Friend” button should now correctly be greyed out when viewing a friend’s profile
I’ve also made a bunch of other smaller changes as well.
I had to change a LOT of behind-the-scenes code in order to make everything perform better, so it’s very likely that some new bugs have popped up. If you find any bugs, please report them to me on Twitter @Cindering_ or on our community server - provide as much detail as you can, including screenshots/steps on how to reproduce the bug.
And in case you somehow missed it, here’s the announcement for the game’s official release on December 14 + the special rewards that will be available on that day!
Thank you all so much for testing the game and giving us all your feedback - you’ve been a huge help in getting this game ready for release. Enjoy the update, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all on December 14
