[u]Spooky Outfits
[/u] All [b]dateable characters[/b] will be getting their own Spooky Outfit just in time for the Spooky Festival! These outfits will appear every Fall season.
You might also spot them during special ghost-story events—but only if your friendship with certain NPCs is close enough! We also[b] plan to have the kids wear costumes[/b] in a future update.

[u]Asset Updates
[/u] Winter is coming—literally! Our team has given the island a [b]frosty makeover![/b] We’re [b]shoveling extra snow[/b] off [b]crops, buildings, and roads[/b]—while letting a little snow [b]pile up on the forgotten ones[/b] for that extra cozy, wintry touch.
