Hello!

Thank you so much everyone for your downloads and feedback, it's been so fun getting to watch people playing the thing I've been working so hard on the last year and a half, I don't even really know how to describe the feeling *_*

Anyway today I've uploaded the update to V1.2.7, it doesn't have any new content but it's a major update to the UI and also fixes some problems with scaling. 

So the major changes:

• Totally redesigned the menu system to be a phone with apps.
• Updated the UI placement so everything is down the bottom now.
• Added some more custom settings eg. font, UI size, separate music and sound effects etc.
• A lot more little things which are included in the changelog.

I'm hoping the phone app menu is a lot easier to navigate than the tab system and use and that having the hotbar elements all in the same place is easier too. As the game progresses you'll be able to download more apps to expand your life in Garland or even customize your phone!

As well as that, I've started working on the NPC path finding system. You won't notice a difference in this update but the next one will hopefully have NPCs walking to and from their schedule points which will make things much more lively!

From here, my plan is to really polish the start of the game and add in the 3 other building options and their first building events so you can carry your save over to the full version of the game when it's ready. That update will probably be ready in early January and have a lot more features to try out so look forward to it!

In the mean time, I'd love to hear what you think and if you have any ideas! Don't forget you can fill out the feedback form anonymously on my website too.

Anyway, hope you have a great week and have fun in Garland!
