Hi! Today's update features a nice amount of new items, as well as a much requested feature: The farm map! It's currently shown instead of the old Point of interest selection dialog. We're still working on it so expect some changes in the future (including a key to directly open it from anywhere).

Today's Farm Showcase: Parkland by 3iQz


New features:

• Now you can see a map of your farm when interacting with points of interest or the bus stop (once you have at least one point of interest built). We'll add a map key in the future.
  
• New items:
  • Kiwifruit
    
  • Cacao tree
    
  • Olive tree

• Items behind the character are removed earlier. More items in front of the character will be shown (please let us know if this causes a big performance hit on your computers).
  
• If the game finds a problem while saving farm data, it will go directly to the main menu and let you know of the problem.
  
• The lock icon in the shop is now closed, not open :)
  
• Video settings are no longer synchronized on Steam Cloud.

Gameplay changes:

• New quests will now give bigger medal rewards on higher farm levels.
  
• Most achievements can now be unlocked while visiting other farms, as long as the event is triggered while you're on it.

• Reduced requirements for some accumulative achievements.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed all animals in a plot starting to walk at the same time.
  
• Fixed gamepad input not being ignored while the game is in background
  
• Should have fixed the "white screen with big black areas" issue.

Hi! As many of you had probably guessed, today's update features achievements! While most of them are easily obtainable and should be achieved in a few hours, some of them are tough ones and will require dedication to unlock!

As usual, we're eager to hear your feedback, so feel free to express your opinion on them!

This update also includes new Emotes to unlock and select on the Customize section of the main menu. Check them out!

Today's Farm Showcase: Unnamed by นอนห้านาที, TAN-SAM-ARROW, NNikk

• Increased a bit money earned with high level animals.
  
• Reduced a bit some item unlock requirements.

Hi! Today's update brings new features to the table. Some of them may be controversial, so please bear with us and let us know of your thoughts!

Hi! Today's update brings a whole new category of items, the Flowers. They are delicate long-term crops that benefit from regular care.

We've also added new decorations, the most important ones being the Soccer Ball and the Beach Ball that you can kick around the farm. Their position is synchronized over the net so you can actually play some games with them!
