Decided to share what I found from the gameplay file.

*This gameplay.package file only stores variables used by the game. Some notes are given so we could understand the purpose of the values. How these variables will be processed by the game is unknown by us. So I can't explain further, but basically we could see the factors that could increase chances to find a specific type of snowman and other interesting facts.

Yeah me too

About the seasonal gnomes you asked in the achievements thread. I can't find a clue about anything special they could do. So they don't have a speciality thing like the vampire gnome

Woah, thanks for info!

I didn't even know there was different snowmen in the game So excited!

That's too bad. On the other hand, the ghost gnome did annoy me after a while, so I'm selling those now whenever I come across one, so maybe it's for the better. Thanks for looking!
