  Gray Haven 5.0 Beta Update Notice

  Gray Haven 5.0 Beta Update NoticeMajor Housing Content Improvements and Bug FixesHello, this is NINEHECTARE.The Gray Haven 5.0 beta version will be available starting August 12.In this beta, you can preview a variety of changes, including a major overhaul of the housing system, resident summoning, new production facilities, UI and control improvements, and major bug fixes.This beta version is being released ahead of the full update to verify the stability and usability of the new features. You may encounter unexpected issues or unfinished elements during play, so please review the details below before participating.■ Resident Summoning AddedYou can now summon residents directly into your housing space and place them there.Summoned residents can be placed both indoors and outdoors, allowing you to freely arrange them wherever you like and decorate your town and home.However, additional interactions with summoned residents are still under development. In this beta, only the resident summoning and placement features are available. The related interactions that are still unfinished will not be included in the full 5.0 release.■ Furniture Placement ImprovementsHousing convenience has been greatly improved!Previously, when placing furniture or facilities, grass and bushes on the ground could overlap with the 3D models, making it difficult to see the shape and position of the placed objects.To improve this, previews are now provided for each element, and when furniture or facilities are placed, nearby grass and bushes will be removed automatically.This reduces cases where placed objects are obscured by the surrounding environment, making it much easier to check their placement.■ Housing Upgrade System ReworkedThe way you change your house's appearance has been reworked.Previously, you had to give APIS the required materials every time you wanted to change your house.

  Update 4.3

  Update 4.3Interface Convenience & Performance ImprovementsHello, residents! This is NINEHECTARE!!This patch focuses on improving game loading times, fixing storage-related bugs, resolving Nik-01's subquest progression errors, and making a number of UI and control improvements.We've prioritized the areas that caused the most friction during gameplay — particularly item information lookup, NPC interactions, and crafting controls.Major Improvements1. Game Launch Loading Time ImprovedIn the previous version, it took approximately 70 seconds to reach the title screen after launching the game.In this patch, we cleaned up assets and separated bundle groups, reducing main memory usage by approximately 20% and cutting initial loading time nearly in half.Loading time is now around 40 seconds, and we've also added a loading progress bar so you can see how far along the process is.We're aware this still isn't ideal, and we'll continue to improve the data loading structure and eliminate unnecessary asset references going forward.2. Item Info Tooltip ImprovedPreviously, it was difficult to immediately check where to obtain items needed for crafting or synthesis.In this patch, we've added an Item Info window to all NPC interaction panels.You can now check item details more easily across crafting, shop, and storage screens.3. Crafting Controls ImprovedThe crafting interface has been updated to feel faster and more responsive.Previously, crafting inputs in NPC interaction panels overlapped with other interaction inputs, making controls feel awkward.To fix this, crafting-related interaction keys have been changed from Q/E to Z/X.4. NPC Choice Navigation ImprovedThis was something that felt noticeably uncomfortable even during our own testing.Previously, navigating between NPC interaction choices didn't flow naturally.In this patch, we've reworked the choice navigation so that you can smoothly cycle through options with a single button.Sections with lots of dialogue and interactions s...
