Hello, lovely Moonstoners! It's another beautiful week, and Moonstone Island just keeps getting better. This week, we have patch notes, a cool and cozy Steam event, and, uh, wasn't there... something else... I'm forgetting... OH YEAH WE ANNOUNCED OUR NINTENDO SWITCH RELEASE WINDOW Now I remember. It was a whole thing, we were on the Indie World Showcase, everyone was like "yay" and "woo", it was pretty cooooool. Yay! Woo! Cozy Quest Event Starting This week we're also going to be part of Cozy Quest, a Steam event run by our good pals over at Secret Mode (they published A Little to the Left, Wobbledogs, and Loddlenaut!) Cozy Quest is a curation of the bestest-best cozy games on Steam, and runs from the 16th to the 20th November. During that time, we'll be on the front page of Steam, alongside games like Ooblets, Potion Permit, and Unpacking, and I will also personally give you 20,000 Cozy Points whenever you wrap yourself in a blanket, drink a hot chocolate, or put on slippers. (Disclaimer: Cozy Points do not have any value. They are just for acknowledging your Cozy Level.) Get cozy! ICYMI Switch News!! In case you missed it... we finally got to announce our Switch release in Spring 2024! I don't like keeping secrets, so I'm quite glad to not have to sit on this one any longer. Spring might seem really far away (we have to do Winter first!) but I guarantee it'll come up in no time at all. And then we'll all be playing Moonstone Island in bed, as intended. We have a page on the Nintendo website, and Nintendo tweeted about us, and and and... I don't know! I've always been a Nintendo kid! So it feels really weird! And cool! And exciting!!!! I wonder if Miyamoto has ever had to say the words "Moonstone Island". Probably not, right? He's probably busy. But still. IT'S REALLY NEAT.
We're still improving the game with patches on the regular! This week's patch notes includes some rather exciting new changes, including:

• Cut down wilted crops with BOOMERANG

• Rotateable GATES

• The Loom now has a COPY-PASTE feature

• You can buy and sell in BULK

• More room in town to build a HOUSE

• An all-new FISHING DIFFICULTY setting

And so much more! Oooooh! Aaaaah!!!

And from Solarolai on Twitter, this adorably peaceful Fall scene. Look at sleepy Beardini!! And is anyone gonna tell them about the Moonstone right at their feet...?
A message from Mr. Morris, Studio Supersoft CEO Mr Morris has something important for you today: Meow meow meoooowww. Meow. Mr Morris, no! That's a secret. Meowww? You signed an embargo, Mr Morris! This is against the law!!! Meow!!! Ah, I could never stay mad at you, buddy.
That's all for today, Moonstoners. As always, we've got more exciting stuff coming up, so we'll see you soon for more announcements and patch notes! Love & Kisses, Kate, Community Manager and Biggest Moonstoner of All
