Weekly progress #61

Hello, dear Greenfeet friends! May the grass be soft beneath your feet!

What's new these past two weeks?

A new version was released on the beta branch earlier this week. After some player feedback, there are still issues to fix, and that's the current focus. It's a slightly long phase of development where you have to roll up your sleeves and chip away at the mountain of work, little by little. I hope to soon move on to improvements and new features so I can share more exciting stuff with you.

This week, the game hit 1,700 wishlists, thanks in part to an unexpected event: I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the YouTuber Nookrium made a YouTube video about the game. It’s really kind of him, and as a solo dev, it’s a great boost! Welcome to everyone discovering Greenfeet Haven through his video!

Thank you for reading this post, and have a great week, everyone!
