This update introduces a brand-new timer mode: Flowtime!
Until now, Focus Grove was built around the classic Pomodoro timer. Flowtime gives you a more flexible alternative - instead of counting down, the timer counts up like a stopwatch, and you decide when your focus session is finished.
Start working, studying, creating, reading, or doing whatever you want to focus on, and simply stop the timer when you're done.
Every 25 minutes, your in-game storages are automatically emptied and collected items are moved into a temporary basket. When you finish your focus session, you receive everything you've gathered along the way.
Automatic collection works for up to 120 minutes of focus time. We still believe breaks are important, and two hours of continuous focus is already quite a lot!
Once you finish your session, Focus Grove automatically calculates your recommended break time based on how long you worked, up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
We hope Flowtime will be a useful alternative for anyone who finds the fixed structure of Pomodoro a little too restrictive, and that it helps you focus:)
New tasks can now appear at the top of your to-do list.
You can choose in Settings → UI whether newly created tasks should be added to the top or bottom of the list.
Improved multi-line tasks.
Longer tasks in the to-do list should now display more cleanly.
Fixed Woodlings when switching Groves.
In some cases, switching between different Groves could cause Woodlings to return to their default state and lose their selected clothes or names. This should now be fixed.
Small UI fix for the profile deletion confirmation prompt.
We hope you enjoy Flowtime! Let us know how it feels compared to Pomodoro and which mode works better for you.
Hey, small update here!
Made a major fix for the reported issue where the buttons in the main menu could become completely unclickable, preventing players from starting or loading a grove.
The Mini Timer should also behave correctly now.
Fixed an issue where a sound could keep repeating when launching the game while using a mode that doesn't keep Focus Grove always on top.
Improved performance related to Woodlings searching for fields and selecting animations.
Thank you to everyone who reported these issues and helped us track them down! ❤️
If you still encounter a situation where you can't start the game or interact with the Mini Timer properly, please let us know - here, by email or on Discord.
I suspect this may be related to multi-monitor setups, so any details about your hardware and monitor configuration will be especially helpful. Every report helps us narrow down what is happening.
I'm also aware that some Woodlings occasionally change their skin unexpectedly. I still haven't found the cause, but once I do, I'll fix it!
That's all for today! We're working on some bigger updates, so stay focused! :)
