This post is part 2 of a 3-part series where we'll be going over the content you can expect to play in the Merfolk & Fall update.
We're planning to release the Merfolk & Fall Update sometime in August 2023.
Merfolk character reveal
Without further ado, let's reveal another character from our Merfolk roster! Introducing Semeru, the Guard Leader of the Merfolk Kingdom! He is a dateable character, yes. Semeru is all about keeping the Kingdom safe, and he takes his duty very seriously. He resides in the barracks.

Here's the roster of dateable Merfolk characters. We have Semeru, the head of the guard, Denali, the steadfast gatekeeper, and Princess Miranjani.
Final dateable lineup
We’ve finally arrived! Presenting the complete lineup of romance characters for Coral Island, all 28 of them.
[Merfolk romance will come in a post-1.0 update!]
Spooky festival
As Fall approaches, we're getting into the spirit with our Spooky Festival! The townies of Starlet Town go all out for this festival, so it's not one to miss.
[Spooky festival takes place on Fall 28)
This event features Bonk the Skeleton and Ring Toss minigames, an Ogoh-Ogoh parade, a scavenger hunt, and so much more. Don't miss out on the fun!

Fun fact: The Ogoh-ogoh parade is a vibrant and festive procession held annually in Bali, Indonesia. During this event, giant papier-mâché sculptures, known as ogoh-ogoh, are paraded through the streets to ward off evil spirits before the Balinese New Year, known as Nyepi. It's a colorful and lively celebration that showcases the rich cultural traditions of Bali.

Develop ranching equipment
Ever wished you could have extra help taking care of farm animals? We've got you covered! The Lab offers a range of Ranching equipment that you can develop to make your tasks easier and more efficient.
Auto Petter: This device will automatically pet your animals when placed inside a coop or barn. Get ready to see some happy faces!
Auto Feeder: No more worries about missing a feeding time. When placed inside a coop or barn and provided with hay in the silo, the Auto Feeder will take care of your animals' meal times.
Auto Collector: This clever contraption automatically collects animal products when placed inside a coop or barn. Just sit back and let it do its thing!
Temperature Machine: Keep your animals comfortable in all seasons. The Temperature Machine regulates the temperature inside a coop or barn, improving animal mood in Summer and Winter.
Last ranch animal (for real this time)
Your final ranch animal, the Llama, will also be available in the upcoming update!
Llama
New barn animal: you can now acquire the Llama at the Ranch! Llama's produce Llama Wool. At the ranch, llamas are sold in pairs, as they are social creatures that thrive with a companion.
The architect's desk
We're thrilled to introduce the Architect's Desk! Harnessing the power of the Giants, this special desk will let you modify and decorate your farm's tiles from a bird's eye view. It's time to unleash your creativity and design the farm of your dreams!
[The Architect desk occupies 2x2 space]
[Move any object on your farm!]
[Moving objects will cost you, best to keep that in mind.]
