Sure!

Hmm... you mean like these?

Sunrise is going to stay locked to the 2013 version when the game closed. PHR is going to expand from that with events, and *probably* custom content in the future.

Ingredient spawning in the meadows! It's a bit buggy right now (way too many items too close) but here's a little sneeky peaky ala the 2010s:

Also the Discord server!

It will be open to as many people as want to play! As for features, we currently have a working dev build with:

All meadows + Chat

Shopping

Basic Inventory System

All Talent Games + Rewards

Crafting Games (Baking, Tailoring, Tinkering)

Two for Tea (still has a few bugs I'm ironing out)

I'd like to finish some of the badge system, finish the XP system, as well as get ingredients/meadow collectables implemented before release. I also need to fix up parts of the inventory system because things still act strange in certain circumstances.

Things that for sure WON'T be (fully) available at test server launch:

Houses

Furniture (need house)

Parties (need house)

Animal Friends (need house)

Gardens (need house)

The Wilderness

Quests (probably)

A slight note: I haven't fully looked into this, but i'm looking to see if there's a way to move party games into someplace like the Tearoom until housing gets finished, since according to the code, Two for Tea, Crazy Cakes, Pass the Popcorn, Simone Says, and RPS are all derived from the same base class and theoretically should work the same.

So we know what our main five talents are gonna be but considering there *is* some coding about other talents as well, would you consider adding those as well with time? I’m talking about talents like painting or story-telling and so on. I’d love to hear more about this, even if it’s something very uncertain in the distant future.

My second question is - will the fairy/sparrowman naming system remain the same? Like will there be any additional (but still thematic) names added to the database?

Third would be me wondering about events. Will the meadows change with events? If yes, will they follow the old cycle or maybe something new?

Last but not least, thank you and the whole team so much for making my inner child happy beyond words! Seeing news about one of my favorite worlds has become a highlight recently! And shoutout for using tumblr 😎 only cool people do it hehe

Talents — I actually talked a bit about this on stream. One of the reasons I'm hesitant to introduce new talents is the CAF, since it's almost impossible to edit that in a way that'll look perfect.

Someone in chat suggested keeping the CAF locked to the original 5 talents, and then having questlines with Zarina (Pirate Fairy) to change your talent, which honestly would be super cool.

Naming system — It's just a giant xml file, so there's possibilities for it to change. Haven't really thought much about it tbh.

Finally — Yes events! They're already implemented, a lot of them just have minor sign movements that need to be accounted for.

And thank you for your kind words! It really means so much to me, and the entire team!
