Looks nice and doesn’t take up a lot of room with the transparent window and minimal mode on my 3rd monitor and there’s a good amount of incense burners to unlock
New Incense BurnersAdded 4 new lotus pedestal incense burners.Silver Lotus Burner Layer upon layer of silvery-white petals cradle the burner opening, like a lotus still carrying the morning dew. Its design draws on the clarity of a newly lit flame, gently gathering the warmth of a single stick of incense before letting it slowly unfold in the quiet.Golden Lotus Burner Golden petals form a small bowl, as if cradling the incense flame in the palm of a hand. It was made for the fullness of a single stick of incense. When the flame burns brightly, time itself seems to grow steadier, making it a fitting place to entrust a fleeting wish.Azure Lotus Burner Blue-green petals enfold the center of the burner, like a lotus floating on still water. Designed to calm the mind, it lets the smoke of a single stick rise without haste or dispersion, allowing the mind to slowly settle into silence.Dark Lotus Burner Dark petals edged with fine gold resemble a lotus that blooms at night, visible only in the light of a lamp. It shelters the faint glow of a single stick of incense and gathers the drifting smoke back together, allowing the quiet to linger longer in the night.If you encounter any problems while playing, or if you have any suggestions, please feel free to email us at:zero.one.infra@gmail.com
New Incense BurnersAdded 4 new landscape stone incense burners.Stone-heart Burner The body looks like a small vessel carved out of mountain rock, with a subtle warmth hidden within its weight. Its design follows the idea of “fire within stone”: it holds only one stick of incense, but gathers the incense more fully, giving even a short burn a steady lingering aftertaste.Green Peak Burner The blue-green body is shaped with ridge-like contours, like distant mountains resting on a desk. Its design leans toward coolness and empty space. When a single stick of incense burns, the smoke feels like thin mountain mist, slowly easing the mind.Beast-Head Burner A beast-head motif rests at the mouth of the burner, giving it the protective feeling of an ancient vessel. Its design follows the idea of “guarding the fire so it does not scatter”: a single stick of incense stands within it as if quietly watched over, allowing both warmth and smoke to last longer.Snow-cloud Burner The white body carries a drifting cloud motif, like post-snow daylight falling onto a small burner. It was made for one pure, quiet stick of incense: when the smoke rises, the snowy color calms restlessness, while the cloud patterns gently gather the fragrance.FixesFixed some multilingual translation errors.If you encounter any problems while playing, or if you have any suggestions, please feel free to email us at:zero.one.infra@gmail.com
New Incense BurnersAdded 4 new incense burners with a stronger Zen-inspired feel.These incense burners can only hold 1 stick of incense at a time, but each stick burns for longer. They are better suited for players who want a quiet companion on their desktop.If you do not want to interact too often and would rather simply glance over from time to time as the incense slowly burns down, these burners should be a more relaxed choice.Black Stone Lotus Burner Carved from a single piece of dark stone into a shallow vessel, with the outer rim shaped like lotus petals. Its design follows the idea of “nurturing fire with stone”: it holds only one stick of incense, but keeps its warmth deep within, allowing a thought to slowly burn to its end.Blue-and-White Sparse Branch Burner A thin blue-and-white porcelain body, decorated with only a few sparse branches. The empty space matters more than the pattern. Its inspiration comes from a small burner used for late-night reading at a desk. One stick of incense does not seek attention; it simply keeps the quiet light company into the deeper hours.Vermilion Tortoise-Shell Burner Coated in vermilion lacquer, with layered back patterns inspired by a tortoise shell. Its design is like a small night watch lamp: the flame never shows off, but preserves its remaining warmth one layer at a time.Black Gold Coiling Cloud Burner A dark circular base holds fine golden cloud patterns, as if the night sky had been pressed into a small celestial scene. It was made for a single stick of incense: when the smoke rises, the cloud patterns slowly coil around time itself, letting the quiet linger longer.Feature ImprovementsAdded draw multiplier options for Bonding.You can now choose x1 / x10 / x50 when bonding.
