📋 Patch Notes

This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival and China’s National Day fall on separate dates. Will you have to choose just one of the two holidays to go home? Either way, remember to take some time for yourself—and give the people who miss you a call. Having the two holidays back-to-back does have its perks. It’s definitely not because the development team wanted to bundle two updates together so they could slack off! Were you disappointed that you didn’t see any mooncakes handmade by Lolis this year? Think mooncakes can only be found under Food? That’s how the weak think. Have you checked under Gifts?

[b]Lolis wishes all players a happy Mid-Autumn Festival![/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43530340/5d1a2d430c53b58053e60032c07e732b255b08f2.png[/img] Two new illustrations and a new mooncake item have been added. The new illustrations use the new Statistics feature, so it’s normal if you haven’t unlocked them yet. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43530340/745eae98e3779c13edb107c1158da9991d819a10.png[/img] [h2]Beta Cross-Platform Support[/h2] VPet Simulator can now run on macOS and Linux. Cross-platform support is currently in beta. If you encounter any bugs, please report them to service@exlb.net. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43530340/298a1f8ed47ac6656d0a6b419a0631445d397d3d.png[/img] In the cross-platform version, MODs without Code Plugins should work normally. MODs that contain Code Plugins may need to be updated for cross-platform compatibility. A tutorial will be added in a future update. Plugins designed for cross-platform compatibility can also be used on Windows. Note: Cross-platform support is not the development team’s primary focus. Future features may therefore be supported on Windows first. Some content, such as DLC, may not be available in the cross-platform version.

[b]Thanks to the following testers:[/b] douzongze, 啾啾, 天边的椰子, 什么是真实的, A Piercing Through My Heart, LeninAsto, roxas-tan, car1etsky, EgoisticEscapist, and everyone else who participated in testing or submitted issues. Join the VPet Simulator testing group: 815083999 We especially need players on macOS or Linux. We’ve recently been testing the cross-platform version, but we haven’t been able to find anyone to help test it. ( Boss’s note: The reason the employees are “voluntarily” working overtime is that they failed to get their work done before the Mid-Autumn Festival and spent all day slacking off. They didn’t send me the artwork or copy until the afternoon of the festival. I’m docking their pay this time, no matter what.
