Locked event edition, for the jury’s review: it does not update.
Standard line and Tripothon edition
Every build, with date, size and SHA-256
The standard line updates through the game; the Tripothon edition stays frozen for judging.

Villagers voiced in 141 quest lines and the farm scenes, Cosme working the field, the shark's tension music, a clearer HUD and updates that survive slow connections.

Download it once: the game itself says so in the menu and updates.
When the menu opens, the standard line checks the site. Only the Tripothon edition asks nothing.
1
Asks the site
In the menu, the game asks for the newest build and shows a notice below the version.
2
Downloads the zip
Once you accept, the new build's zip comes into the game's data folder.
3
Checks the SHA-256
If the SHA-256 does not match the site's, the file is discarded and nothing changes.
4
Swaps the executable
The new executable takes the old one's place, and the game asks to restart.
If you have Build 10
The updater in builds up to 10 refused files over 768 MB, and the Build 12 zip is 1.2 GB. So download 12 from the site once and open the new executable; from then on the game updates itself.
Saved games live in your user folder and carry over after the swap.
SmartScreen
The executable has no digital signature yet, so Windows warns on first launch. Click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. To confirm the file is the published one, compare the zip's SHA-256 with the one on this page.
If the GPU doesn't support the Forward+ profile, the game has a Compatibility mode (the -Compatibility option of the launch shortcut)

In development
The game is in development. Each new build brings what has come into the valley since the last one; the changelog tells what changed.

The first hours
Pedro shows you the village in 16 steps
Is that all? "There will be a grand event" — not even a signature. It is from the farm across the river, where no one has ever seen the owner. My grandparents have decided to go, and I am going with them. Until then, tend to what is yours: the field grows a handspan for each day watered. I am going back to the pier — that is where you will find me, and now the village knows you.

The essentials so you don't get lost
WASD moves, Shift runs and Space jumps. The other keys open the notebooks.
The phases of the 3D game's plan, from what has already crossed over from the 2D to what is still to take shape.
Bring over the 2D foundation
Done
The 3D caught up with the 2D foundation: the playtest slices, the trip to the estate and the review.
Stitching the places together
Done
A quest points to a place name, not a coordinate. The same step works in the 2D and in the valley.
The systems that don’t know what a place is
Done
Health, stamina, backpack, catalog, talents, faith, cards, works, trading, fishing, cooking and workshop run in the valley.
The campaign’s geography
In progress
The great river, bridge, plateau, boulder, farm, chicken coop and the ruins from chapter 7 already have places and quests. Only the lagoon is missing.
Quests and story
Done
52 chains and 154 steps: the whole 2D quest list is in the valley, with the end of chapter 6, chapter 7 (the Matinta) and the villagers' favors.
Saving
Done
Three slots, a new game that doesn’t inherit the previous one, and the whole day restored on reopening.
The clock
Done
A calendar of four 28-day seasons, the day that ends and the valley’s hour.
The interface
In progress
Quests with an acceptance screen, backpack, almanac, talent and faith webs, interiors, bed, chest, land to buy and chicken coop work. The villagers' work on the land remains in development.
The models that exist only in 2D
In progress
Interiors, furniture, villagers, wildlife, houses and the bridges already have Tripo models. The ruins of the mansion and new buildings remain in development.
