Version 6 is out! Proper in game tutorial and fix to forage!

Symphony of Soil
A downloadable game

Hello everyone!

In this version the goal was to fix bugs, and make sure that the game was easier to play! Three things were done to accomplish this!

1. Tutorial menu! Pressing 3 on the home menu will now access the Tutorial Menu. There you can listen to an explanation of the three core tasks. These narratated recordings let you know exactly what the sounds mean as you go. As well as that, you now get told where you are when entering a zone to make it easier.

2. Pressing 0 now let's you eat from your cook pot! So cook at home, then eat while out and about so you don't have to leave a super good fishing spot.

3. Foraging has been redone! Now when pressing the "listen" key you only hear things that are directly to the left or right, and the farther away from the entrance of the forage area the better chance of finding something. So now it feels like eating is worth while.


MISC bug fixes as always! All reported bugs that I'm aware of are fixed!


What's next? I honestly haven't thought of a way to implement hunting! It's something I'm still thinking on, but may end up scrapping some ideas for this game and save them for a future game!


But the primary focus is on polish right now! Fixing bugs, adjusting balance of money/relationships, and making sure the game is fun!


Hope everyone has fun!
