Update Notes:
• Added growth animations to the radish fields. Watching radishes grow with animations now feels so satisfying!
• Fixed some bugs!
• Recent updates are frequent—I learned new VFX/Shader tricks and refreshed old models.

Fixing bugs feels so overwhelming sometimes—one after another after another.
But then again, with a small user base and short playtimes, most of these bugs likely went unnoticed.

After working on this game continuously, I almost lost my mind playing it during testing.
Spending too much time on it made me frustrated and unable to focus.

Working on a second game gave me the chance to come back and test this one properly.
That’s when I discovered these bugs.

Fixing them was tedious and painful, but thankfully, they’re done—just in time for the last day of 2024.

Happy New Year, dear players! 🎉

Bug Fixes (for the curious):

1. Fixed a key issue with rotated items in the 2D list. The rotation data always defaulted to (0, 0, 0), which went unnoticed because the UI grid visuals appeared correct.

2. Deleting the bus stop caused Bunny’s actions to break and loop endlessly. Added additional if A == null checks to prevent this.

3. Found issues when adding or deleting plants. Plants use VFX and Shader effects instead of actual models, so updates to effects needed to be synchronized.

4. Fixed a bug where the delete shortcut key didn’t work under certain UI layouts.

5. Pressing ESC now hides the green placement indicator grid along with the UI.

6. Resolved lighting conflicts during day-night transitions.

7. Summoning birds to harvest plants without a corresponding storage caused them to freeze in place. Fixed the logic to prevent this.

…and a handful of other small fixes.

Thank you for playing!

Added growth animations for mushrooms.
Fixed shadow issues with trees.

Created a shader for the mushrooms.
Spent a long time figuring out the math, but luckily, it worked out in the end.

Vertex animations with shaders can be tricky—when something goes wrong, there’s no error message, just nothing happens.
It’s slow and frustrating to troubleshoot, requiring lots of trial and error.

Using Houdini or Blender’s geometry nodes would’ve been much faster for mushroom animations.
Writing the math directly is much harder—you can’t see the result immediately and have to guess and tweak parameters repeatedly.

Thankfully, it’s done now!
The bouncing mushrooms look great. 😊

Ah, I just noticed that I dragged the wrong prop into the animation model for Bunny reading a book. Every time Bunny reads, it shows incorrectly… not sure how long it’s been like this!

I was about to go to bed, but when I saw it, I freaked out and fixed it right away.

Continuous updates inevitably introduce unknown new bugs. Some are really basic, like typing the wrong parameter or dragging the wrong prop.

But... not updating would be boring, right? All the fun features require constant code changes.

If you find any bugs, please let me know! I honestly wouldn’t notice them myself...
