Hi! Today's update features the Houses, introducing the biggest addition we've made so far in the game. You can now build houses (they take some time and resources to be built), and once they're built you can enter them and decorate their interior, as well as perform Jobs that will net you Tickets, a new currency that is used to purchase furniture and decorations for the house.

Although we've tried hard to make sure everything works fine from the get go, as expected some issues may arise, so please let us know if you experience any problems.

• On the Map, fuel stations are colored differently. Same with houses.

Hi!

No update this week, but it's for a good reason!

We've been working hard on a big update for some time, and we're really close to completion (just finishing the last touches, polishing and testing out everything to make sure it works as expected), and it's time to show you a couple of screenshots so you can check by yourselves!





You'll be able to build houses, enter them and do a series on jobs (such as cooking or painting) to earn Tickets, that can be used to purchase new furniture and decorations!

If all goes well we should be able to release the update by next week.

Also a reminder that we will increase the game's price along with the new update (this will only affect purchases after it, if you already own the game you don't need to worry), so now it's the perfect time to pick the game!

Hi!

Today's update features new crops and other minor additions. We know it's a small one, but that's because we're still working hard on the big update, we're sure you'll love it!

Today's Farm showcase: Untitled by OrangiChu


New items:

• Yellow Cauliflower
  
• Yellow hydrangea
  
• Black Tulip
  
• 2 New sheep
  
• Chard
  
• Date Palm tree
  
• Artichoke
  
• Romanesco
  
• New character skin color: Blue
  
• New character customization item: Cap

Gameplay changes:

• Reduced a bit experience required to level up on higher levels (around 10% on 50+ levels)
  
• Changes to weather effects:
  
  • Rain: Doubles water input rate (so a crop water level will increase instead of just stay at the level it had)
    
  • Drought: Water usage is tripled instead of doubled
    
  • Snow: Water level won't increase.
    
  • Snow will only occur on Winter, and it will happen more often than rain.
    
  • Drought will only occur on Summer, and it will happen more often than rain.
• Changed the way level bonuses are applied to animals, so only profits are taken into account (same way it's done with crops). This means animals with high levels will be giving less money as before.

Bugfixes:

• Mouse cursor on multimonitor setups on Windows should no longer go to the wrong place (it's a workaround around a bug in the engine, so you never know...)
  
• Should have fixed (or at least reduced) cases where farm wasn't being saved properly.

Hi!



Today's update features new farm items and upgrades the Unity Engine to its latest version. Hopefully this should help with some crashes people were having. We've done our best to make sure this doesn't introduce any new bugs, but please let us know if you experience anything!

• Should have prevented some errors during load causing the game to softlock in the loading screen.

Baaa!



Today's update features a new animal, the Sheep. We're also adding new fences (reed, handrail & stone wall), as well as lower variations that should come handy to separate areas etc.

Bugfixes:

• Prevented fish from swimming on the ground (again!)
  
• Some changes to the save routines that should help with stability.

You'll notice the last few updates have been short on features, that's because we're working hard on big features that will come in the near future!

They're coming up nicely and we're sure you'll love them, but they will still take a few weeks until they're ready, so stay tuned!

Hi!

Today we're releasing another update, fixing some bugs we feel are important enough.

Bugfixes:

• Reverted back to previous version of Unity Engine: Should fix the frequent crashes when closing the game.
  
• If there's an error while generating the save file, the game won't attempt to save it.
  
• Increased amount of logging for some issues (such as data not being saved after a while).
  
• Fixed shop window appearing empty on Romanian translation.

Hi!

We're deploying a quick update today that should help with the corrupted savegames issue some people has experienced, as well as some minor features we've been working on.

New features:

Improvements:

• Other people in the farm are now shown in the map.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed fish swimming through land
  
• Prevented the game from exiting to main menu when a save was done wrong (since the save file was corrupted)
  
• A second attempt at saving is done if the first one fails. This should help preventing corrupted saves. We've also added additional logging to diagnose what causes this behavior.
  
• Additional logging info to diagnose the cases where the game isn't saved in a long time.

Hi!

Today's update features the change of those cracks in the ground to a more visually appealing river streams, as well as some bridges to cross them over without having to walk around them.

We've also been working hard on trying to fix a number of bugs regarding saves. Can't guarantee we've fixed all of them, but it should be definitely better!

Hi!

Today's update increases available farming space by a great deal! Instead of 3x5 unlockable areas, we've upped the number to 5x5, increasing total farm area by 66%. That's almost twice as much space!

All farms will be automatically expanded to the new size once you load them. There shouldn't be any issues, but if you experience problems, please let us know!
