Dev Log 1.1

Good news! A new version!

I have done a lot of work on Blackberry Paddock in June, and while the game is still not done, I want to introduce version 1.1 today!

What's new?

* The intro got reworked. Spiky is back! (she was in one of the prototypes as a tutorial character before she got cut out mostly.)

* You can now reach paddock level 3, the paddock paradise stage, and unlock a bunch of paddock upgrades there!

* Horses with a rank too low to fit in inadequate shelter will have a chance to get sick and need treatment. Planting shady trees on the paddock lowers the chance of illness a bit, building more shelter keeps them healthy (except Riot, the lil rascal still needs a sturdy fence...)!

* Another new status effect is horses getting thirsty. As you upgrade your paddock, your horse care will get easier!

* All horses got their sprites tweaked a bit, so you can see when they are ill or upset.

* All tack graphics are done, including halters!

* While the tree saplings are still in danger of the chicken (tbh, i enjoy my workaround too much to fix the bug), they still got a graphic glowup at all stages of growth!

* Automations are getting improved – the wheelbarrow is now an automatic poop generator, and the manual poop-per-click has been changed to a new item.

* The Shed got reworked, there are now two separate pages for resource gain items vs paddock upgrade items, and new UI.

* A saving feature got implemented! Want to come back later to your progress? Generate a savecode in the settings, save it somewhere, and paste it when you get back to the game!

What's planned in the near future?

Yes, i'm probably still working on this game for a while longer, hopefully to get it to the stage where i can really call it done! (It's not going to get much bigger than it is now, just a few tweaks and small features. No breeding, no multiplayer, no RDR2 :P ).

Here are some of the plans i see in the near updating future:

Started to work on:

* A german localization is planned, so i can show my game to kids i know irl! It's more complex than i thought, so it's started, but not done yet...

At the brainstorming stage:

* Introducing a new resource & way to gain it with one of the horses, to unlock the latest late-game objects that are currently unlocked by less fitting resources. 

* Creating a way to produce logs and planks automatically, so far, this is the most tedious bit in late game.

* Horse stats need to be tweaked to have more of an effect on gameplay (only health & shelter work exactly as intended so far). High Happiness should give a bonus to all resource production!

(All plans are subject to change.)
