Hi! Here are the fixes included in patch v1.2 for issues reported by players:

• Fixed: Sid can interact with the other cows in the field outside Ethan's house, and start a cutscene out of order.
• Fixed: Sid can pet the dog from outside Ethan's house.
• Fixed: At some points the triggers blocking off the roads outside Ethan's house reappear and stop player movement beyond those points.
• Attempted fix: For some players, the camera rotates with high sensitivity in some locations. This does not occur on my end, but I've tried making a change to the camera that may improve this issue. At the moment the fix has only been implemented for the roads outside Ethan's house. If it improves things, I will then apply this fix across the game. Let me know if it works or not!

Fixes in previous patches: v1.1b

• Fixed: During the QTEs when jumping over rocks in the beach scene, the QTE for jumping back to the previous rock automatically pops up everytime the player makes a jump.

v1.1a

• Fixed: Looking at one of the books in Ethan's house can cause the camera to become stuck in "book view".

v1.1

• Fixed: Player can move Sid's head around in the first-person car drive section.
• Fixed: The fisherman near the boat can't be talked to when the player is supposed to fetch glasses.
• Fixed: If you miss cloth stuck in the tree QTE the first time, then the flashing QTE indicator can become stuck on the screen.
• Fixed: The QTE indicator while jumping over the rocks in the beach scene sometimes shows the prompt for the controller prompt instead of the keyboard.
• Fixed: The camera rotation in the beach scene becomes inverted.
• Fixed: The roof(s) when exiting Ethan's house from the front or the back obstruct the view and make it difficult to navigate. The roofs now disappear earlier.
• Fixed: The interiors are difficult to navigate in Ethan's and Sid's mother's house and it is easy to get stuck. A chair has now been removed in Ethan's house to make the living room more spacious and easy to navigate, and colliders have been reduced and tightened in both scenes.

Play the demo during the Steam Summer Fest Jun 16-22

Sid is a fiction author struggling with a creative block, attempting to recapture the feelings of inspiration he felt when he was younger. In order to pay the bills, he needs to think up a story and apply for a grant - the deadline is today - a lazy Sunday in the middle of summer.

On this Sunday, his struggle is disturbed by an invitation to attend an unavoidable family obligation - The place Sid grew up in is about to be sold, and his mother wants him to come home for a small party so he can say goodbye to it. With the deadline approaching and his creative juices having frozen, this is not something he's looking forward to.

Join Sid as he reluctantly journeys back home, meets old friends, relives memories and attempts to kick start his creativity back into gear. Also take part in his creative process as you play through interactive sections depicting the story he's attempting to write.

Forgotten Fields is a warm, cozy game about nostalgia, creativity, appreciating the present, and the passage of time - a meditation on impermanence and the shortness of life.
