Hello everyone! I'm glad to be here again. It's been a while and I am feeling somewhat better. 

-added a new Story Quest
-added a new desire obtainable from the story quest! Obtaining it is a little tricky though, there is a possiblity to fail getting them! The choices you make in this quest don't have any effect on your karma.
-added a few more interactions that affect your karma
-added two new places; Ferahna and Pallymore
-added a hair stylist that can give you new hair cuts! (unfortunately not compatible yet with unique outfits, so it's either a hair cut or an outfit)
-Cooking system was re-made and is a lot easier to use now.
-added a restaurant.
-Recipes were added to the game. Some of them can be found in kitchens all over the world.
-Added some new meals to cook(most of the ingredients cannot be obtained yet)
-added a furniture shop. It'll be updated as the game progresses.
-added a new book to the library of Camico (it's pretty much in the front)
-Eeliyah in Mundae sells a few new items now after you've finished Xora's quest
-A special recipe was added that will quicken the process of befriending your frog by a lot. You'll get the recipe from a specific person in a specific town after you've read the fairy tale of the frog. For now, 2 of the ingredients can be obtained by buying them from people and one of them will be obtained from a new kind of enemy you can find in a cave near puzzle. There is a place in the cave where only this enemy spawns, so if you plan on grinding this ingredient, I recommend finding that spot!
-A cave was added to puzzle with new enemies.
-Finally added the christmas desire. This is a desire that all of you have built together on your own in the polls! I really hope you're going to be happy with it! It was a lot of fun to work on and I think the result speaks for itself. Merry late christmas!
-Added a valentines event. It's a little late, but I really wanted to add a valentines event since I felt like it would suit the game pretty well. I don't want to give away too much yet, but you're going to have to go back into the celestial forest after you finished the "lost daughter" mission and search there for someone. This someone will start the valentines event!
-Added an intro scene, with a playable beginning.

Something I want to address is, that some of the ingredients for the new recipes won't stay in the place they are now. For example, the exotic fruit will be much harder to obtain in future updates, I just don't have the area to add it in yet, but still want people to be able to make "that one recipe" that you need it for.
Since I was gone for so long, I wanted this update to have lots of new exciting content for people to enjoy. I hope you're going to have a good time with it!

As for the next update, I'm definitely still planning on making an easter event, so you can look forward to that! Other than that, we're finally getting closer to the 6th story event, which is a very important one!

For the end, I still have a poll for you! I've made a similar one a while back, but a lot has changed in the game since then.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words and the patience you've had. Thank you for supporting me and the project, even in the tough times. It means more to me than you can imagine!
Please stay safe in this time everyone. I will try to keep you entertained with as many updates as I can get out.
Until the next update!
