New Features

Create-A-Critter & The Salon: You can now complete the final building in the game, the Salon, and create your own custom critters! 

Once created, they will arrive with the next tour boat. You can continue to edit your critters, but you cannot change their personalities! You can have up to 10 custom critters, but will NOT get an additional slot if you ask them to leave

Woolington Questline: Help Woolington and the museum with some problems relating to a mysterious lost Ark

Performance Improvements: This is especially noticeable on the Steam Deck, which now gets a 15% performance increase and faster loading times. We've also added brand new visual effects for things like sparkling items, fire, water etc. Salon Quest: Repeatable shop quest to earn doubloons and build your relationship with the salon shopkeeper. Competition Critters: 7 new critters will be joining the roster, these are the winners from our latest Critter Creation Contest on Discord. Please welcome Arco the boar, Katnip the plant cat, Quanta the lizard, Cobran the green heron, Ollie the opossum, Shae the ball python & Opalite the unideer. New Character Creation Options: Two new heads: monkey & pony. Three new tails: monkey, opossum & gator. New nose options (located under the facial hair slot) for humans, cat, pony, monkey, seamonster, dinosaur & robot heads. New clothing options: Dress of Embers, a black and red variation of the Dress of Darkness & a new headwrap hat, the snake headwrap. Quality of Life & Other Updates

Sickness Balancing Updates: Critters will now always heal when given medicine instead of having a chance to heal, and will have a chance to visit the clinic when ill. Also added a medicine vending cabinet to the clinic where sick critters can pick up their own prescriptions if you keep it stocked. New Anti-Aliasing Options: In addition to the existing FXAA, we've implemented stronger - and more system intensive - options including MSAA and TAA. Auto Save Options: Crafting Tweaks: If making an item would use up an inventory slot, you can now craft that item without "inventory full" messages, and you can now create multiples of slop.
