Hey Beekeepers! So I've been busy making a bunch of changes for the nightmare that is consoles, and while doing so I made quite a lot of mess in the process. For the most part I think I've mostly found the bigger issues I caused in my code tantrums, however I thought it'd be good to do a demo update for two reasons 1. you can tell me if I broke anything major by being a dumb dumb and 2. to finally update you all to be in-line with the current release version. There's nothing too major in terms of content here so this isn't an update where you'll get a lot out of starting a new game or anything, but if you want to help do us a solid and hunt some bugs this is the update for you!! Also I added a beehive hat so... yea... (For beeta testers / key holders, there's a matching update for the release branch (Apis 0.22) - nothing really changed (all of the changes below you already had for the most part), but again if you want to help hunt some bugs please do so!)
Changes
- Added loads of bugs, probably lmao
- Added the Lost&Found box on Skipper's pier, which will hold any key items you somehow manage to lose! (new world only)
- Added some additional Linux libs to the game to prevent issues for some Linux users who didn't have these libs installed
- Added all language localisations for French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portugese, and Japanese
- Added a couple of "hat" hairstyles to try out!!! (can use the Dresser at Nan's house)
- Worldgen screen now has a fun bee icon that changes while u wait (what a treat)
- You can now specify which species you want a hint for from Beenjamin rather than him always telling you the hint for "next" bee you haven't discovered
- Updated controls image for when using a different brand controllers
- Remapping keys will now show in icons in the book, i.e. changing WSAD to ZQSD for AZERTY will show those controls in the guide instead of still showing WSAD
- Added an option in controls to quickly default to QWERTY or AZERTY controls (you can still customise keys after picking one)
- You can now view the bee book panel tooltips using LT/L2 and RT/R2 on gamepad
- Carpentry 101 GIF updated to show planks being sawn into sticks as well as logs > planks
- Player and NPCs now always have a white outline (like in Multiplayer
- You can now use B/O on gamepad to get out of the boat you are in to make it easier to escape your nautical nightmare
- Added visual buttons to show the above change when a boat is highlighted on gamepad
- You can now press R stick to quick queen on gamepad
- You can now use the right analogue stick to lock placement of tiles/walls in that direction on gamepad
- On PC you can now shift-click hotbar items into your inventory and vice-versa when only the inventory menu is open
- On Console/Gamepad you can now quick-move hotbar items into your inventory and vice-versa when only the inventory menu is open
- Increased text contrast on locked/complete chapters
- Increased book height to help with longer languages
- Magazine Rack no longer has fixed slot requirements to keep magazines ordered, do what you want you rascals
- Added a "high contrast slot" accessibility option
- Capped name input at 20 chars
- You can now place menu objects / machines on ice without needing pier tiles (technically it's solid so makes sense to add!)
- Made the sentence in the first quest that tells you ESC closes menus in blue to hopefully make it stand out and people remember, even though it's also shown in the corner when any menu is open :')
- Made a few other paragraphs in the quests highlighted to cover commonly missed things
- Blessed bees now have a coloured aura to make them easier to tell apart
- Gave the trait letters more contrast in the microscope menu + tooltips
- Wall placement is move forgiving with menu objects, i.e. you can now place walls on tiles next to Gates (before it was blocked)
- You can now hold Backspace in Signs, wow such quality updates right
- You can now hold mouse / gamepad A to buy multiple items from shops
- You can now place down stone on the ground back as rocks, what a treat
- Wax Canisters now explicitly state they are produced by Worker Bees
- Removed the "drowning" teleport because too many people report it as a bug - You can now hold "R" (or L2+R2 together on gamepads) for 5s to respawn back to your spawn point (either the pier or the last bed you slept on), as the deep water auto-teleportation has been removed
- The bed item tooltip + relevant quest ("Waiting Around") have been updated with this info too
- BroduxBlue is now Mothense in-game! (still the same cute fox!) <3
Bug Fixes
There's been so many bug fixes in the main branch of the game that it'd be impossible to name them all so I've tried to summarise common ones you might have come across:

- Fixed not being able to see bee trait cards on gamepad
- Fixed target/move buttons being yeeted into the sun when starting the game in gamepad mode and switching to MKB
- Fixed missing space between NPC names and their pronouns

About Us
APICO is being created by two brothers, Elliott & Jamie, inspired by their love of old Minecraft mods, casual, and crafting games. They wanted to make something relaxing, intriguing, and semi-educational (just don't think about the Water Bees). Elliott builds nice things and Jamie makes sure he breaks them.
Save The Bees
Bees are integral to our gameplay, as they are to our real-world ecosystem. We want to promote bee conservation and will be donating a portion of sales towards national and international beekeeping charities.
Follow Our Progress
You can follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/apico_game), or join our Discord (http://apico.buzz/discord).
We post regular updates of our development progress on both channels as well as important announcements, stupid GIFs, cute pics of bees - what more could you want?
