Many Sorry!

 

I understand that you all have run into some bad glitches with 1.7, and I apologize greatly at not being able to release a patch yet. This is because we are still in the middle of those big changes I announced, and unfortunately we have to finish them before the next release. The entire team and I have been busy and inactive in order to put these changes in place as fast as we can. Please forgive us for the inconvenience, as well as our lack of visibility as of late. 

Good News, Everyone!

Mind the Farnsworth quote, but I wanted to save this announcement for after an update got patched and released, but the Collars team will be completely scrapping the current 'day' system in the game. It was one of the first systems I mapped out to run the game on, and over time it has become really dated. It's a pretty bland and otherwise old feature that needs a remodel. I wanted to wait until the next update because this will be a pretty tedious overhaul, and the next update might not contain much additional content after this.

I'd like to give you guys a good idea what the new system will bring: 

1 - Seasons. This will add some variety to the game, as well as event opportunities. Crops in town will change depending on the seasons.

2 - Better Calendar system. Npcs will have weekly schedules, this will reflect better on their personalities and story development.

3 - New features tied in better. Honestly, my old system was not compatible with some things that I would have really liked to have linked into the game. This new one will tie neatly in with everything.

4 - Limit breaking. You could only get up to day 99 in my old system. This one will loop over.

 

Hopefully, the remodeling goes well. If it does, it will improve the game greatly and I know you guys will like it.

Healed Up

You may have noticed the sudden lack of activity on my part, and that is mainly due to a terrible bug that recently hit my household. I won't go into disgusting details, but it did render me unable to make any progress on the game for a good chunk of time. Now that it is mostly out of my system, I will be able to patch up a shiny new update soon. Sorry for the delay, guys and gals.
