The developers of Verdant Village released an update that featured several new additions and bug fixes.
New Additions
Verdant Village Update 0.4.8 offers several new additions such as The Compendium, achievements, three NPCs, full tale for an NPC, four zones, five quests, a new exchange shop, an archeology keystone dig, Mail System, four quests via mail, cloud save functionality for Steam versions, and another mine biome.
Quality of Life Changes
The developers have changed several UIs back to their older versions to make them more consistent. Also, the popup notification code has been modified to place the notifications on separate layers to avoid lagging behind other UIs.
