| Explorer's Log #2.2: Ask Uncle Horace... Again |
 |
Those developer types don't dawdle! Their new interactive exposé of the Piñata Island way of life is already available for purchase in less far-flung corners of the world, so here I am rushing to post an update from the frontlines before they start to think I'm not actively earning my keep. |

I decided that a hard-hitting Island-based investigation into the alleged wealth of new and improved content might be a good angle this time. But it soon transpired that I'm not cut out for kicking doors down first and asking questions later - thanks to Poncho for the makeshift hazelwood splints for my three broken toes - so I went back, knocked politely and asked the village businessfolk what issues they'd like to raise with those responsible for bringing them to pixellated life.
Their queries follow, along with my own educated rejoinders laced with key information extracted from telegrams sent to me by core members of the development team, or perhaps a tea boy at something of a loose end.
"So which of these new species are bein' shown? Any good ones, or just those that are easy to draw? Hah! Which are the most popular, so I can order supplies for the houses? Gotta stay sharp in the construction game, pal!" - Willy Builder
Golightly: My sources indicate a total of 28 new species, not counting the Sours separately, but I don't suppose those uncouth sorts figure highly in anyone's domestic housing plans. Hulking brutes like the Tigermisu, Sarsgorilla and Limeoceros are bound to be highly sought-after, while the likes of the Bispotti and Sweetle are ten a penny. The more imposing beasts from the outlying Dessert Desert and Piñarctic territories should also prove popular - the Walrusk, for example. And the elaborately patterned Tartridge and S'morepion should quash allegations of artists taking the easy way out, or at least that's what they tell me. This new Just For Fun mode is one way for impatient or slow-moving gardeners to lay eyes on some (but not all) of the new beasties.
Do you partake in off-island work at all? I expect my conservatory has deteriorated somewhat while I've been away. |
