Next Update?

Hey there,

I've had my head down working hard on Dinkum's next update. I really wanted to have it ready for everyone to play in early February, but things are taking a little bit longer than expected, so I will need a bit more time.

The Bloomin’ Spring update is the first of many updates where I will be focusing on a specific season. My goal for this update is to make the in-game Spring feel different to the other seasons by offering different events and new things to discover around the island.

I would like to keep some of these things a surprise, but being Spring, you can imagine there will be a lot of wildflowers spawning around your island. Another change I’m happy to share, is the sun now sets at different times in each season. Winter being the shortest day with the sun setting around 6pm like usual. Summer and Spring have longer days, with the sun setting around 8pm-9pm

I have been teasing some of the upcoming items and features through screenshots on Dinkum's discord. But I have some new pics to show off here as well.

These mines look different…

The Rowboat grew up?

Finally, this update will include a bunch of smaller quality of life tweaks.

Things like crates and chests now have an auto stack button, for stacking all the items from your inventory straight into the chest’s stack.

There is now a "collect and delete all" button for collecting all your mail at once. This will hopefully make trapping rewards a bit less tedious.

Oh and Theodore will now accept more than one donation at a time at the museum, so you can get back out there and catch even more fish and bugs for him.

I hope you all understand that I want this update to be as good as it can be. I do appreciate your patience and I hope you don't mind waiting just a little bit longer for it.

That’s all for this post, so I’m going to get back to working on the update.

Thanks,

James
