New Winter-Exclusive Items

New plants are appearing at the gardener, farmer, and herbalist occupations! Your cats can soon begin harvesting, wearing, and decorating with Not-Holly, Forget-me-not, Crocus, Goldenseal, Snow Peas, and Snowmeowtoes.

These new winter flowers will be used for an upcoming series of "Winter-dyed" clothes and paintings.

Kitten Toys!

So, yesterday I added the worms off the string to Nestor's very rare pool under the assumption that this would make them long-term obtainable (and not April Fools exclusive), but somewhat rare. The thing is, I forgot Tiny Adventurers pull from Nestor's pool, but can only bring back trinkets and resources (not apparel or decor). Since there aren't many trinkets, this means that the babies had found my secret worm stash and were raiding it at quite high rates.... To compensate, I'm adding a large drop of Nestor/other trinkets, so that the babies have a larger selection of things to find and play with.

The following 29 new toys have been added. These will be very rarely given out by Nestor, brought back on a regular basis by tiny adventurers, and I'm adding some of them here and there as rare scenario or letter drops:

trinketsLeathery Feathery Ball
trinketsLeather Rainbow Ball
trinketsDried Rice Rattlers
trinketsEvil Beanigator
trinketsWooden Cat Dolls

Other New Items

The following items are currently unobtainable, but needed to be added for adventuring development:

specialDenim Traveler's Pack
specialEmerald Explorer's Pack
specialGold Adventurer's Pack
specialBurgundy Hero's Pack

Gatherers can now rarely bring back the following Winter-exclusive resource:

resourcesFallen Meteorite

You can now craft the following winter healing item equivalent (for adventuring) at the apothecary:

gearWintermint Tea

Note about the apothecary: Currently there is not a winter recolor, but I do plan to add one before adventuring appears so that you can still craft healing items and such.

New Luncheon Recipes

Eight new delicious recipes have been added to the luncheon. From left to right: Snowpea Stir Fry, Eggs on Toast, Fish and Chips, Cheese Pizza, Fresh Winter Salad, Spicy Snowmeowto Chili, Crispy Fried Fowl, and Three-Layered Cake.

- If your custom cat has the Albino white marking, all of the randomized cat previews while rolling your squad will no longer say they have 'pale red' eyes, regardless of if they actually do or not

- Hovertext on icons is no longer black in dark mode (will require clear cache to see change)

- Sent PMs pagination is no longer broken

- Catmint tea should no longer put kittens at the front of the village

- If you try to log in with a wrong username it should now tell you that said username doesn't exist

- Pagination has been added to the bottom of the page in the city shop

- Relationship specialty items can now be used on traveling cats as intended

- Catmint Tea item is no longer able to be used on traveling cats

- Letter of New Beginnings item now shows all eligible relationships to clear instead of just prompting a cat to unfriend itself

- It is no longer possible to remove a trinket from a cat without a trinket or add a trinket to a cat that already has one

- Nestor will no longer allow adolescents to adopt kittens

- Level 3 experience required count has been corrected on cat profiles

- Friend request box no longer has an extra space causing it to look like the bottom border is missing

- Reflexive version of xe/xem no longer generates incorrectly

- Search has been fixed in the item database, after breaking post desoupification

- Username change cooldown is now an even 30 days and not precisely 1/12th of a year

- Adding recipes to the database no longer breaks when you only have 2 ingredients

What's next?

- Continued work on adventuring!

- Continued content updates as a treat :3

My current workflow looks a bit like this:
- Working on adventuring on weekends
- Working on bug fixes and additional art/content on weekday evenings when I have the energy for it
