EVERFOREST UPDATE v0.90.0 - 09/12/2023

Welcome (back) to the EverForest! The team has been busy (as a beaver called Chomplain!) building an EverForest game where every single player is a FORCE OF NATURE! Through some testing, we’ve discovered that so many of our players are passionate about making a real-world impact as they’re experiencing a fun, relaxing, addictive game! So, the team has been really digging in to make improvements… both to the play and the planting! We’re very excited for players to get hands on with this newly updated version of the game.

UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS

• MERGE! Enhanced merge board experience! Merge amazing items up to help animal friends.

• MAP! New map experience! Unlock new areas to discover plants, animals...and delightful merge items.

• REAL TREES! New real-tree planting experience! Collect Real Tree Points that can add up to REAL TREES!

• DASHBOARD! Tree-planting personal dashboard AND community tree planting milestones and rewards—all allowing for tracking environmental impact and a deeper dive into the tree-planting projects.

• ANIMALS! New creatures to discover and new storylines and quests! Escape into the secrets of the EverForest.

Special note! For our returning players: EverForest has gone through big changes based on player feedback since our last update in May so we’ve had to reset progress. However, players keep any real trees that were planted in previous releases as long as they are still using the same device.

Your feedback continues to be incredibly helpful as we make this game amazing. If you have things to say (suggestions for improvements and/or kudos), please consider becoming an EverForest Insider by contacting [e-mail] — You’ll help to shape the future of the game (and our planet)!

 KNOWN ISSUES

• Capped progress: For now, progress is capped to level 8. You can return daily and do tasks, but story won’t progress and no more experience points will be earned.

• Disappearing button: Sometimes, if you’re in the Backpack and want to go to the EverForest map, the button isn’t there. This issue may be fixed by closing then restarting the game.

• Shrinking! Sometimes creatures and plantables will appear tiny in game. This issue may be fixed by closing then restarting the game.

• Stretching! On some devices the UI isn’t scaling properly, and things looked stretched.

• Creature sorting! Sorting your animal collection by animal level is not working properly.

• Store notification: The badge showing new items in the store stays once a player has visited the store.

• Plantable UI: Occasionally the UI for a plantable disappears. This issue may be fixed by closing then restarting the game.

• Real world actions: Rewards for making a pledge to take action in the real world do not display properly. Players will still get 1 Real Tree Point for making the daily pledge to take action.

• Ad crash: The game occasionally crashes after watching an ad. This issue may be fixed by restarting the game.

• Google Play linking: Players can’t link their Google Play account in this release.

• Time of day transition: Sometimes when a player comes back to the game, the time remaining before the time of day transition will show as a negative number. This issue may be fixed by restarting the game.

• Blocked Progression: After players discover Umi and the Western Hemlock there is a 2-second gap before a quick tutorial step happens. During that gap, if a player collects merge items, they won’t progress. This issue may be fixed by closing then restarting the game.

• Swap Blocked!: The free daily “Swap Quest” feature is currently not working.
