As always, if you find any bugs, please report them to Bug Report (via Steam Discussions or Discord, I check both frequently). Thank you~! Huzzah, Little_Amethyst Steam Page | Discord Channel | Instagram | Twitter

Greetings Fellow Witches! I want to start off by thanking everyone for their support and feedback over these past few months (oh, how time flies!). It started off a bit bumpy at launch since this is my first game, but I genuinely believe that all of the comments, both good and bad, have helped me to make Brookhaven even better! Im also excited to share that bug reports have considerably decreased, much to the disappointment of Noah (sorry, bug boy). I owe special thanks to all of the wonderful people who reported bugs and were patient with me as I fixed them! I also welcome everyone who was initially on the fence about playing Brookhaven to try out the Demo and test the game for themselves. Im confident that youll fall in love with the world just like so many other players already have! Plus, if you get stuck or have any questions, there are numerous Guides available on Steam that were put together by players. And, of course, theres always the Brookhaven Discord or Steam Discussions! Ive taken everyones feedback to heart and worked myself to the bone to implement better and smoother gameplay for a more enjoyable Brookhaven experience. I would like to highlight the most popular suggestions that were added into the game during these past few months: [olist]

Expanded Tutorial! Whenever you start a new game, the tutorial will be there until its turned off in the Settings menu. It includes everything youll need to know about the controls, the magic system, how machines work, how to summon minions, how to tame certain animals, supernatural abilities, and how to befriend (and possibly romance) villagers.

Reworked Controller Support! Thus far, Ive received feedback that Brookhaven is working with Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, and Steamdeck controllers. I will always recommend the game to be played with a keyboard and mouse, but its playable with controllers as well!

Improved the Inventory! By popular demand, Ive added auto-transfer, auto-drop, and row-swapping.

New Pets! Mummies, Slimes, and Raccoons (oh my!). This brings the animal list to 24 different species for the player to raise: Cat, Dog, Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits, Peafowl, Cows, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, Alpacas, Foxes, Skunks, Raccoons, Penguins, Snow Phoenixes, Ravens, Owls, Parrots, Emus, Dragon, Zombies, Mummies, and Slimes!

Hardcore Mode! For players who like living life on the edge, look no further than hardcore mode! It makes monsters more difficult to defeat and villagers more challenging to befriend. Plus, pests are far more likely to target your unprotected crops, and monsters will appear on your farm each and every night!
[/olist] You will also find new Steam Community items and a Points Shop where you can get Badges, Trading Cards, Emoticons, Backgrounds, Animated Stickers, or even Animated Profile Frames, whatever suits your fancy!
Lastly (but certainly not least), I would like to announce the Winners of the Fan Art Contest! All of the entries were incredible which has made this a very difficult decision, but without further ado *Drum roll, please!* First Prize goes to Rosegold (#0386)!
Second Prize (chosen randomly from all entries) goes to Mentha piperita (#7257)!
First Runner-Up! by RaeWhitfield (#2150)
Most Like a Storybook! by jln1508 (#9632)
Happiest Emu! by Dusty/Tannermals (#1875)
Best Bead Art! by Tsukichild/Eprosasis (#0291)

Greetings Fellow Witches! It's hard to believe that it has already been two months since Brookhaven was released, and I'm thrilled to announce that there is now a Demo for Brookhaven available on the Store page! It will remain up indefinitely with the most recent patch, so feel free to take a look whenever you get the chance. There's also a pre-recorded broadcast that will be playing over the weekend to showcase the first 7 hours of my playthrough (that ends with me becoming a vampire farmer). Don't forget, there is a Fan Art Contest that is ongoing until the end of this month for those who are interested in a chance to win copies of the game and merchandise!
