I can see the confusion in your eyes, so let me explain why of this event.
Oh yeah, and in advance, sorry for not having many colorful images you can see in the thread. I'll explain in the end of the update.
Yeah, International Children Day isn't 27th, It's November 20th if I remember well, but the date is actually based on my regional holidays, which the holidays begins literally on September 27th, on Cosmas and Damian day, and then goes up to October 12th. Anyways, I added Halloween, which kind of doesn't officially exist here (beside I find the event cool), so I thought about adding that regional event to fill the gap.
Beside the game in its current state is not fit to be played by children, this event will be great if you want to level up kid characters, even more since they will get 15% extra experience from any source while the event is active. And the event is annual though, so every year the event will trigger again.
In case you wonder whose characters are a kid, they are: Lop, Dolly and Dexter.
Another thing this event will offer, is that if you hunt creatures while having at least a kid character in your group, monsters will have a chance of dropping a Candy Bag, that will give lots of candies when opened, offering buff that will last for 7 minutes on the character that uses it. And that's not all: If you're extremely lucky, you'll be able to find an Aviator Hat as reward from the bag, so be sure to try collecting as many as possible while you can.
Sadly, this event will not offer any quests or anything, even more since I literally implemented the event in 1 day (Yes, I sent yesterday working on it). So yeah... That's the disappointing part.
Sadly, I only managed to finish one other quest line (which was supposed to come on previous update).
Farm Owner Ko's quest will be able to be begun if you completed the first quest of Gavea Farmlands quest line (which involves speaking with Farm Owner Kara after certain reputation level with Gavea Kingdom to begin). If you met the requirement to begin Ko's quest line, all that you have to do now is try to trigger it. Good luck :).
Also, be sure to let me know what you think of the quests and their writing.
There was a mistake I left on previous update, that was causing plants to always show up, including the 4 Leaves Clover.
This update fixes that, and now plants will correctly have a chance to appear.
Well, since nobody downloaded last update (actually that's not really good though), at least nobody ended up getting lots of 4 Leaves Clovers.
Wolfgang eyes now glow in the dark.
4 Leaves Clovers now have spawning chance, instead of being 100%.
Gavea South Field now can spawn Cotton Plants.
Strum skill got an icon. (Also forgot to tell that Asphalion got that skill)
Farm Owner Ko questline has been implemented (Need to begin the Gavea Farmers quest line to be able to begin it, if you show up on the right time).
Children Day Event Up and Running. (September 27th~October 12th, anual)
=> While the event is active, Children guild members will get 15% more exp from any source.
=> Defeating monsters while having at least a Child guild member, has a chance of dropping a Candy Bag.
=> The Candy Bag has a chance of dropping an Aviator Hat equipment.
=> => Yes, the hat can be used by adult characters too.
Well'p, sorry for the lazy update post. Itch IO had fell a while ago, and I had closed the project, so I couldn't take screenshots to make the update more interesting.
Anyways, I will have lots to work on in the project, since there's not only the Farmlands quest line to finish, there's a loose end or two in Gavea Crossroads, and there's also characters waiting to be released too. Without counting that I'll have to plan out what to do for Halloween.
Speaking of Halloween, I'd love to hear what you guys would give as outfit for your guild mates to use during the holiday. If you're on the discord server, do let me know, it might end up turning into game content heh.
By the way, right now I'm unable to post on Twitter, because the social network is blocked in my country, so if you were following me there, I'll be unable to post for a while. I'll make sure to let you guys know when I'm able to use it again heh. I wonder how big the next "I'M BACK!!!" post will be heh.
Joke aside, I really hope that stupid blocking is released.
That's it for the news. I hope you guys enjoy the update, and see you next news...
...or on Discord, heh.
