Hey everyone,

This update completes Lola's main quest line and also some other things. Lola doesn't have as many quests as Rosie, but their friendship mechanic means you'll still need to spend at least a couple days in the cavern to finish the quest. Recalling mooj from other gardens feels very useful, as previously the only way to move them was to bring them through the portals by hand, one-by-one.

- Can now instantly recall mooj from other gardens in the mooj-recaller. This makes moving your mooj across gardens much less tedious



- Lola has a new quest. To complete it you must survive an extended night time onslaught, where you will encounter a new enemy.



- Lola now has a friendship mechanic. You gain friendship by gifting items to them in their basket. Only certain items will be accepted, all of which are obtained within the cavern.
In order to begin their final quest your friendship must be at 9 or above.

- Added golems to the caverns. They begin appearing in the caverns at night after starting Lola's new quest. They summon explosive rocks and will drop a new food item: rock muffins.



- After competing the new quest, the cavern shop will be upgraded to include 7 new egg colors:

• White
  
• Black
  
• Rose
  
• Purple
  
• Baby Blue
  
• Grey
  
• Aquamarine
  

- Lola now has a bunch of random chit-chat dialogues that they cycle through each day, like Rosie.

- Removed the ability to sell items at the mooj statue altar. Now only the chest by shops will allow you to sell items

- The mooj naming panel will now always have the correct rotation when picking newly hatched mooj up
- Mooj eggs now have a more fitting icon
- Evolution particles will no longer render over item sprites
- Fixed a bug where recalling a sleeping mooj would cause the sleeping particles to remain on while they’re awake
- Fixed some icons in dialogue text that weren’t aligned with the text properly
- Fixed a bug where leaving the meadow during the campfire event would prevent enemies from spawning in other gardens
- Fixed some animations that are unstable over long periods of time (naming panel text / mooj), (main menu title animations)

- Fixed a bug where Lola’s quest status might have been overriding Rosie’s. This might have the consequence of reverting Lola’s first quest back to incomplete if it was completed on a previous version. Sorry for anyone that’s affected by this.



We are approaching the 2 year anniversary of the game's early access release, which is also the soft deadline of my last release date estimate. I don't believe I am too far off from finishing the main story, but there are still elements that could use polish and care. My guess is an additional 2-3 months after the anniversary will be needed to transition from early access. There are still bugs that occur, and this time will help with that.

Leave any bugs/suggestions in the comments or email at kcfosf@gmail.com

Best,
