my kid (who did some art, singing, playtesting, and a bunch of other stuff on the game) made this for her art class. ❤️

In the cover art, a girl with her face hidden and her hands in her pockets uses her prehensile hair to water vegetables with a water pump. In the background are a haunted house, a cartoonish cruise ship, and a building with a clock tower

The PanTree will now prioritize giving a resident what it has the most of, rather than picking the first food alphabetically. This gives you a better chance to get the beefle you need for a lot of recipes! There's also a light string from it to one of the restaurant streetlights.

A big player-facing change is that popcorn will no longer require a plate; it has its own traditional popcorn box / sleeve made from the corn husk! This will make it easier to get corn cobs to make pipes, and will be a better option than feeding Grandfather Clock a billion unicorns.

we couldn't get it in in time for release, but Mayor May Knott was going to have this poster in the Hall of Records. (maybe a pro version will get in eventually)

a pencil sketch of a pair of telephone poles with zig zagging wires going between them, reminiscent of the art on Joy Division's iconic "Unknown Pleasures" album. Below the phone lines in the text "UNKNOWN CALLERS".

aaah! so hard to choose! I guess at the moment I'd say Timberly, just because she's been in the game the longest (even longer than the first models for May!) In fact, she initially looked like this! (and was named Beaverly)

also please add tags to the game, because apparently those WILL affect the game's visibility on steam, and get steam to recommend it to players of similar games.

would a version that runs at 9:16 or 3:4 or 1:1 be useful to anyone for tiktok / youtube shorts / other vertical content? You wouldn't want to play the whole game that way, but you could potentially save, switch to the version with vertical aspect ratio support, get video, and then switch back.

Dick Tater has also had one of the biggest facelifts of all the characters in the game. He started as a brown capsule with angry eyes, and then evolved into the plasticine-looking character on the left, before a professional artist transformed him into the beautiful creature he is today!

He stays in his guard booth most of the time, scolding you if you try to enter Glitzberg. You can also check in with him from time to time and he'll frequently have something new to say. Sometimes a hint, but usually just making fun of you and complaining that you're giving his residents houses.

I took this screenshot to show my art team that I'd hooked up the lights on the mansion gate, but it turned out really pretty so I'm sharing it here, too! Anyway, there's a haunted mansion full of puzzles. And a creepy moon.

Initially Zojiro is a hikikomori who hides in his room in Glitzberg. When you make soup for the first time, he sticks his trunk out and smells it. Then you can interact with him, and he asks you to make a bunch of rice dishes.

Mayor May Knott 🎀💀🎀 AVAILABLE NOW! @mayormayknott.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

A friend asked me about "the person in the log", so I made them this video of interacting with Zojiro, and I thought I'd share it here, too! Ignore the Unity UI at the edges; I just made this really quick while I was in the middle of doing other stuff. :)

However, if you can find Timberly when she's on her way TO the forest, and not carrying a huge pile of logs back FROM the forest, she'll be in a much better mood! And if you invite her to live in your town, she'll start leaving logs in the woodshed for you! 4/6

Mayor May Knott 🎀💀🎀 AVAILABLE NOW! @mayormayknott.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

The next character I want to introduce you to is Timberly Loggins! When you first meet Timberly, she's busy hauling logs from the forest back to her home in Glitzberg, so she's not in the mood to talk. She's a little scary... and if you get too close, May flees in terror! 3/6

Mayor May Knott 🎀💀🎀 AVAILABLE NOW! @mayormayknott.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

May is coming soon! Which means Mayor May Knott is coming out soon! So it's time to meet some characters! In the demo, you already met Dick Tater, Madame Pastrami, Grandfather Clock, Reel McKoi, Gramma Phone, The Pail Rider, and Durango Silverton! That's a lot of characters! 1/6
