Mayor Update

New app icon

The **Mayor Update** added the fourth chapter of the main Storyline, Sasquatch becoming a Mayor, and many other improvements in the Town.

## Sneak Peeks

### Reddit

A mini sneak peek video was released on October 17, showing Sasquatch dancing inside the Ranger Station with the Driving Instructor, the Camera Club Leader, and the Museum Owner. The same video was released on Discord.

Another sneak peek came out on November 20. It shows Sasquatch driving a Forklift with an Orange crate in an underground room, containing Dirt Bikes, a Go Kart, and coin crates. There is a car elevator and a ladder going up.

### Discord

* April 22, 2022 - Driving Instructor wearing green Ski Goggles (hints on Friends customization).
* October 13 - three images were posted:
	+ Sasquatch with the Driving Instructor,
	+ the Driving Instructor, the Museum Owner and the Camera Club Leader standing next to each other (hints on hanging out with multiple friends at the same time),
	+ an easel with the Mayor Election votes distribution pie chart.
* October 14 - the Driving Instructor seeing the Dog and saying "Huh, a dog... didn't expect to see one of those today!" (one of the random phrases friends say while hanging out).
* October 24 - the crossroads in Town with traffic lights missing (hints on Town customization).
* October 28 - a pile of oranges (used in the final boss battle).
* December 8 - the Driving Instructor wearing a Sailor Hat (hints on Friends customization).
* January 6, 2023 - a sneak peek for version 1.9.3, showing Sasquatch with a custom text "HELLO" on the Mayor Outfit sash.

## Official patch notes

We added lots of new things including:

* A new chapter of the storyline!
* Run an election campaign and become mayor!
* Make friends with the townspeople and hang out with them!
* Customize the town!
* Give your friends custom clothing outfits and names!
* Learn a secret technique from a duck and master the art of shaking hands.
* Operate an exciting cargo elevator!
* A new 'quick dial' feature for the phone number book.
* Many other exciting things, but we don't want to spoil the surprise

Thanks for playing! More updates will be coming soon!

## Other additions and changes

* Passenger capacity of the boats is increased. (See Vehicle article.) This is probably to make moving friend parties between the Island and the mainland easier.
* Boats now drive around the Ocean, and can be found moored at the docks.
* Bagged Dog Poop now appears in trash cans and the Spaghetti Hotline refrigerator.
* Shopping Bonanza now correctly asks Sasquatch to pay with his Bank Card instead of coins over the phone calls.
* The Hungry Duck’s hat is changed from yellow to blue.
* Drivers have new dialogues when their vehicles are hit.
* The icon to pick up the Dog Poop is changed.

## Further patches

Four bugfix versions were released: 1.9.1 on December 12, 2022; 1.9.2 on December 19, 2022; 1.9.3 on January 25, 2023; and 1.9.4 on February 16, 2023.

Since version 1.9.3, the Mayor Sash (part of the Mayor Outfit) can be customized by talking to the Executive Assistant (Town Hall). Also, the number of friends required for the election is decreased from 8 to 6.

### Additional patch notes

* Lots of bugs were fixed, sorry about the trouble!
* Even more bugs were fixed, whoops!
* A special surprise involving the mayor's sash!
