1.4.3 Released!


Hey everyone! First off, I'd like to apologize for the 2 week hiatus of Mouse Garden. The engine I use does not yet support spritesheets, so I had to write my own spritesheet code to get the game running. Recoding everything, retexturing, spritesheet set-up using .JSON files, and finally making sure it all worked with all of your save files was a hassle to say the least. Although, I'm glad it does work in the end, and I did add some things in the process.

1.4.3 Changelog

Major Additions & Changes

  • Tool Buttons, Inventory Icons, and Watering Can textures now use spritesheets! More textures will be adapted to spritesheet usage eventually!
  • Selling land will now give you $10 per land tile
  • The Kitchen can now be unlocked for $5K
  • Added Berry Jam!
    • Cranberry, Strawberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, and Raspberry Jam can now all be made in the Kitchen! To make these, smash 2 of the same berry in a bowl, pour it into a pot, and let it cook in the furnace.

Minor Additions & Changes

  • Item information is now stored in a file, instead of a object variable, making them much easier to add in the long run
  • Potatoes and Squashes now look slightly different
  • Water tiles have been temporarily removed (More on this later)
  • The cursor for the achievement Rock Bottom is now centered on the cursor

Bugs Fixed

  • Dragging a tool over a menu button would no longer open the menu
  • The text that would appear when hovering over a locked item would align its position and then change the text 1 frame later. It no longer does this

There used to be water in the game, but it was removed. I was planning on adding Fishing this update, but it will have to come out next update due to people asking me why the game is taking a while.
