The developer of Tiny Life has released a new update for the game on January 1, 2023. Вот новые вещи, которые вы должны увидеть или изменить в этом новом обновлении.. Эта информация была взята непосредственно из официального объявления в Steam. 

Всем привет! It’s that time of the month again where we go through all the changes, additions, and improvements in Tiny Life, and then let you try them out yourselves. Захватывающий!
На этот раз, there are a lot of new features that haven’t been worked on exclusively by me, so they deserve a massive shoutout to the people I collaborated with.

Contemporary Complements

There’s a new Set to join the collection! На этот раз, I collaborated with the lovely Gindew, who is an amazing artist, and we ended up creating a lot more pieces than we’d originally planned. What I’m trying to say is: this Set is большой.

The Contemporary Complements Set contains a large amount of contemporary furniture, including beautiful beds, simple bars, boxy shelves, gorgeous pieces of art, и многое другое. It also has the single cutest door that we’ve ever added into the game. Его, нравиться, a rope curtain! Look at that!!
As part of the Set, we’ve also added a bunch of new museum-focused decorations, including the lovely rope fence you can see in the screenshot above. After Gindew pitched a bunch of these cute (and very customizable, кстати) art pieces to me, we decided that it would only make sense to turn them into a whole thing, which is why the next feature we’ll talk about has found a place in the game as part of this update.
Ой, также: the Set contains a lot of bowls. Just decorative bowls. With various items in them. ура?
I asked Gindew to relay his experience, and some information about his design and pixelart process, to you lovely readers. While he didn’t comment on what’s up with his obsession with bowls, he did have this to say:

The moment Ell approached me to make a set, I whipped out my wish-list! We quickly agreed that a timeless contemporary style would suit us best. I was personally inspired by IKEA for its flexible furniture to fit any space. As both a builder and a pastel fan, I ended up creating some neutral, minimal, but also colorful furnishings!

My process is actually really simple. I used existing objects as a base and expanded on them. This both kept the style consistent and helped keep the work quick! I highly recommend if you plan on modding, to take a look at the packed texture cheat in the game, ты’ll see how all the objects are layered and how the style works.
In addition to making a full set, I also helped with the new Museum lot type. I helped create a bunch of pedestals and even an ottoman, which happens to fit nicely in the set too. I hope you enjoy these objects as much as me and Ell have in making them!
I really recommend following Gindew on his socials, также, as he posts some lovely art from time to time, and also works on an awesome furniture mod for the game called Moar Furniture!.

Музеи

In a lot of life sim games, museums end up being, хорошо… kind of boring. Давайте будем честными: this first iteration of Tiny Life’s museums is also still a little bland, но not only does it have some fun features that’ll have your artist Tinies coming back to it again and again, we’re also planning on introducing some fun additional features to them in the future.
На данный момент, a museum is a lot that you can view art at, make your own art at, and get advice from the museum curator that roams the lot.

Конечно, we already know that feeling creative gives you a massive boost to your skill building and painting speed, but that’s not all! Рисование (or doing any creative activity, в этом отношении, including woodworking) on the museum lot will actually give your skill building another 50% speed boost as well! Isn’t that lovely?

Babysitters

You’ve been asking for it, и не зря: До сих пор, baby Tinies could be haphazardly left at home while all adult Tinies were at work or off visiting other lots.
Хорошо, хорошо, that can все еще happen. Но сейчас, it’s not the only option anymore!
Сейчас, when you head to your phone, you’ll find the new “Услуги…” вариант, and in it, the option to hire a babysitter!

A babysitter hire is a one-off action, and costs 24 tiny bucks an hour. After hiring the babysitter, they will arrive at your lot, hang out with your babies and children, and leave again when they deem appropriate. They’ll stay for a minimum of five hours, and only leave when there is at least one adult household member on the lot. Конечно, if you want them to leave earlier, you can always ask them to leave, также.
A babysitter will, while on your lot, roam around and do the usual actions required of any Tiny. Однако, they’ll have a much higher priority for interacting with your children and baby Tinies, and they’ll be much likelier to take care of them over taking care of other things.

Imp-roof-ments

Ever tried to build a roof in Tiny Life, and it just wasn’t really going your way? Gables got you down, так сказать?
Хорошо, сейчас, there’s some more flexibility with roof building! Конкретно, you can now make your gabled roofs (and flat roofs, слишком!) start at a higher point than the default, all the way up to just before the next level up.

This allows you to build much more complex roof setups, and also allows you, например, to have a roof that starts with a gable, becomes flat, and then continues going up again.
You can access the option by heading to the roof tool and using the slider below the color selection. If you’re using a gamepad, you can access the slider the same way you access the color selection: by pressing the Y button, по умолчанию!

Lot Tooltips

For the longest time, figuring out what lots did what and who lived where was… tedious, мягко говоря. It didn’t help that, if you were colorblind or forgetful, the little outline color coding of lot types didn’t really help all that much. Или вообще. So we decided to get rid of it and come up with something better!
And what’s better than tooltips, Я прав?

Hovering over a lot, either in the household selection menu, or with the camera zoomed all the way out in play mode, will now show a tooltip with some information about the lot. В настоящее время, this includes the lot’s name, the lot’s type, а также, for residential lots, what household lives there. This should make it a lot easier to find the lots that you’re looking for!

New Stings and a New Voice

A now quite long while ago, we did a poll asking players what they think about the current emotion sting sound effects in the game, and whether they think there should be additional stings for important events. The consensus was: да, должно быть! But they should have their own volume setting. And it was so!
There are now sting sound effects for important events, like getting a promotion, достижение уровня 10 of a skill, reaching maximum friendship or romance with another Tiny, и многое другое. These sound effects, much like the emotion stings, were contributed by the lovely Jamal Green.
Конечно, if you don’t like hearing stings during important events, or you prefer these over the emotion stings, you can head to the sound options menu and change them independently of one another.
Последний, но не в последнюю очередь, there is a new, third adult voice in the game now! До, we’ve had Sweet and Warm, but now Soft joined the party, слишком! Хм, that sounds kind of gross.
The soft voice was contributed by the lovely Jason Hall, an independent voice actor who expressed interest in working with me on additional voices for Tiny Life. He did a great job, and so now you too can sound like Jason’s impression of a Tiny. Или, хорошо, your Tinies can.

The Full Changelog

Хорошо, that’s pretty much it for this update! It turned out to be quite a lot, but Gindew and I have been working on the Contemporary Complements set for a long while now, so we’re very happy to get it out to you finally.
