Hello, everyone!

Heads up, Switch players! We couldn’t let the week end without an exciting news! Garden Witch Life Patch 1.0.19 is now live on Nintendo Switch, and it comes packed with new features and tweaks. This update includes adjusted sell prices for MagiBuy and the Community Box, fixed map points and whisk issues, and several other improvements.

Apart from the fixes list, we would like to explain the two biggest changes:

1. Fatigue was taken out. Many of you expressed dislike about the fatigue meter adding unnecessary stress to what should be a relaxed experience. We intended for it to provide an incentive to take it slow, but after seeing your reactions we decided to disable the entire mechanic for now. For now, instead of passing out, you will simply not be able to use tools without stamina, which will replenish on sleeping or eating. However, you can only eat until the hunger bar is full and reset that with sleeping as well.

2. Sell prices have gotten a boost across the board. MagiBuy used to pay 25% of worth, and now it will pay 50%. While the community box will pay 150% to start with, but sell less items and increase both as you become better friends with the towns people. Simultaneously we decreased the prices for tools, especially for the starter tools in case you lose them.

Thank you for your continued support as our team work to make your time on Moonflower Island even more magical. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
