New Content

• Added a Pet Gift Box in the store. When purchased, you'll receive one randomly selected base-level pet from the newly added ones.

• The claw machine has been updated with new pets.

• Now, pets in your backpack display a label: “Unclaimed final form reward token” if they haven’t yet earned their final-stage reward token.

In this update, we’ve once again addressed and optimized several key issues players care about. Details are as follows:

Fixes

• Now, tokens will not be moved into the fridge before completing the initial tutorial.

• Fixed an issue where volume would reset after turning off Do Not Disturb.

• Fixed an issue where recalling a downstairs pet via right-click in the inventory would not correctly decrement the downstairs pet count.

Optimizations

• Many players reported that placing too many pets on the desktop while having auto-feeding and cloud auto-production enabled would repeatedly trigger eating sounds, and when too many feeding animations run simultaneously, pets could get stuck. Therefore, you can now disable feeding animations from Settings! This is super helpful for long idle sessions!

New Content

• When it rains, two new small umbrellas will appear!

Your imagination might just be the next popular companion!

In this update, we have once again implemented fixes and optimizations for some of the issues that players care about most. The details are as follows:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the white noise loop playback would occasionally fail.

• Fixed an issue that broke the weather feature.

• Fixed an issue where the actual duration of "Storm Day" did not match the displayed duration.

• Fixed an issue where, in certain circumstances, a downstairs room would show "Room Full" even if no pets were present.

• Fixed an issue where the scroll page button in some UI elements would not respond to clicks.

• Fixed an issue where, in certain circumstances, pets would get "stuck in place and turn around repeatedly."

Optimizations

• Adjusted the positions of some UI elements on displays with non-standard resolutions.

• Now, the fridge will no longer move along with the house and can be freely dragged.

• Now, Do Not Disturb mode no longer affects the white noise volume.

New Content

• Two weeks have passed since the game's release! Have you purchased many luxury homes? If so, then settle into those luxury homes and search together for ✨shooting stars✨!

  *Added a special event and a special reward.

Trading cards, profile backgrounds, badges and emojis are now available for Desk Paws!

In this update, we have once again addressed some of the issues of most concern to players with various fixes and optimizations. The details are as follows:

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where enabling "Do Not Disturb" would cause the mute function to stop working.

• Fixed an issue where purchasing the "Little Cloud" upgrade had no effect in certain cases.

• Fixed an issue where in some cases it was impossible to lock the frame rate to "30 FPS".

• Fixed a sprite error in pet movement.

• Fixed an issue where, in specific houses, visitors would sit in the wrong location.

• Re-verified certain Steam achievements to ensure they correctly register as completed.

• Items in the refrigerator can now be dragged out directly!

New Features & Optimizations:

• Tokens can now be "frozen" in the fridge... though they do get a bit icy.

• Added a new item in the store that can change all blueprint prices to "+4".

• Appropriately enlarged the "exit" of the claw machine.

In this update, we’ve once again addressed and optimized several issues that players care most about. The specific changes are as follows:

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where pets with breeding guide numbers 1104, 1111, 1115, and 1151 could not be properly incubated.

• Fixed an issue where the "Hatch Accelerator" effect continued to play even after "Do Not Disturb" was enabled.

• Fixed an issue where a player who pinned the game to the taskbar and opened it from there would lose their saved game.

• Fixed an issue where the purchase of "Lively Cloud" might not work under certain circumstances.

• Returned a pet that mistakenly appeared in the breeding guide back to the breeding guide.

• Fixed display issues with "Lunafi’s Great Adventure" under certain screen resolutions.

• Fixed an issue where the window pinning buttons were displayed incorrectly.

• Fixed an issue where the window pinning buttons were displayed incorrectly.

New Features:

• A new button has been added in the "Settings" that allows you to toggle whether large amounts of coins and hearts are shown! Turning it off will stop the display of large quantities of coins.

• A new item has been added to the shop: Storm Day! This allows you to start the rain regardless of conditions and lasts for 2 hours!

• A new item has been added to the shop: Big Plate.

• Lunafi’s adventure world has been revamped! You can now freely drag the game window position!

Regarding the save file issue, a special thanks to players Racks Lee, Moo, Laura A. G.G., and 未闻 for their help!

In this update, we’ve once again addressed and optimized several issues that players care most about. The specific changes are as follows:

• The “Bottommost” button in the Settings page has been expanded into three options: “Topmost”, “Bottommost”, and “Not Topmost” (The game window can now behave like a regular window — neither pinned on top nor bottom).

• A “Framerate Limit” slider has been added to the Settings page. When too many pets are placed on the desktop, performance may be affected. We recommend lowering the framerate accordingly.

• A new option “Only Eat Pearls” has been added. When enabled, pets will only consume small pearls even if auto-feeding is turned on.

• You can now right-click a pet in the inventory to send it back individually. This option is also available in the pet’s detailed info panel.

• Recalling pets will no longer recall "eggs". Eggs will now correctly remain in the room.

• Once you purchase any “Egg Incubator”, eggs will display a visual effect to indicate that the incubator is active.

• Pets will no longer auto-consume food in the room, even if auto-feeding is enabled.

• Special thanks to the player “XianLing” for updating the \ and \ names of our pets!

We apologize for the new issues that arose after the last update! We have fixed some of the problems and made some optimizations. The details of this update are as follows:

• Fixed an issue where "buying room upgrades" failed under certain circumstances. After the update, the "lost" upgrades will be applied upon launching the game.

• Now, when your desktop items are full, newly obtained items no longer return to "income void" but are directly added to \ or \ based on their type.

• Fixed an issue where "auto-looping adventure" would sometimes fail. The logic for adventure rewards has been modified when "Do Not Disturb" or "Pomodoro" is active. Now, rewards are directly based on the duration of the Do Not Disturb mode.

• Clearly, adding more ways to earn coins wasn't fair to players who enjoy "Pomodoro." Therefore, now after the Pomodoro ends, you will receive a large amount of "Tomatoes" as a reward!

• Fixed an issue where after using "Do Not Disturb" in certain cases, the "Little Cloud" could not be clicked.

• Fixed an issue where some room tokens could not be purchased in the store.

• Fixed some discrepancies between pet illustrations and their in-game models.

• Fixed a formatting error in the information card.

After the game’s release, we received a lot of feedback from players; thank you all for your care and support! In this update, we prioritized fixing some of the most reported issues, as detailed below:

• Adventures will now loop automatically.

• Now you can purchase “Cloud Auto-Production” in the shop.

• For players who prefer to earn rewards through their own efforts, we recommend purchasing the “Lunafi’s Great Adventure Ticket” from the shop. This ticket allows you to repeatedly gain coins and a small amount of materials!

• We have once again fixed the claw machine’s claw; theoretically, pets will no longer “slip out” of the claw.

• Fixed an issue for some players where their “Gacha Tokens” did not match the remaining gacha count in the gacha machine.

• Fixed an issue where certain achievements’ timers were not syncing properly.

• Sharkie Dragon can now be sent to GLO and put up for adoption.

• Adjusted the prompt for sending to GLO in some languages to make it more understandable, along with some other localization fixes.

• Fixed an issue where Mac and Windows save files could not synchronize properly.

• Fixed an issue where some players would experience "save failure, repeatedly returning to a specific save point starting stage" under certain circumstances.

Note* This is an emergency patch, and we did not have enough time for full testing. As a result, there might be some minor issues! We will gradually improve it!

Our first game is finally officially released! Thank you to every player!

We would like to inform you about the major changes made in the official version compared to the demo version, as well as our future development plans!

Brief Preview:

First, the core of our game is definitely cute pets, so for a considerable time after release,

we hope to maintain a steady pace of updating with adorable new pets and their babies! Making your collection encyclopedia even richer!

Next, as a desktop idle game, we will continue to improve the "experience" aspects as much as possible.

For example, in addition to the current \ and \, adding a simple \ function. Or whether the toolbar can be "snapped" to the desktop edges, etc...

Of course, continuing to add interesting little content is also our pleasure, such as adding more "weather", some simple little toys, etc...

Additionally, we will continue to pay attention to player feedback regarding earnings, such as whether the adventure slots are sufficient, whether the coin acquisition speed is reasonable, etc...

We received many feedback and suggestions after the demo version was released,

including content that we think is absolutely fantastic! We will also add these to future updates!

Our studio only has two people, so we can only update as quickly and frequently as possible, we hope you can understand!

Major Changes:

• 1: The "claw may release automatically" setting in the claw machine has been removed.

  In the original plan, I wanted it to be more "realistic," but clearly, players do not want to lose a pet simply because the claw releases on its own after catching it!

  Now, you just need to choose the right angle to drop the claw!! But please note: The size and shape of each pet (such as being round, slender, or particularly small), pets with special volume or shape will require a more precise angle to secure them!

  Enjoy catching your pets!

• 2:Completely removed the "price increase" setting.

  It was strange that coins would change after purchasing items each time.

  Now, except for a very small portion of upgrade items, almost all goods will no longer have "price increases".

• 3:Adjusted the "rest time" after pets have babies to only 1 minute!

  (Out of care, pets should be allowed to catch their breath for a moment, right)

• 4:Reduced the purchase price of most important items. Increased the acquisition amount of certain game materials.

  For example, we made some improvements to adventure rewards, little clouds now have a chance to spit out "little hearts" when maxed out,

  the little heart boost rate for adopting pets received a huge improvement, etc...

Of course, compared to the Demo version, in the official version we fixed many bugs and added some features and interesting mechanisms.

But listing everything would become very long, here, we'd rather tell you what we'll be doing in the future!

We hope you can enjoy this game!!
