| Community | One Final Update! Thank you for Everything!! Hi everyone! Josh here! 👋 It's hard to believe 2025 is wrapping up already! What a wild year! I can't thank you all enough for all of your support for Firefly Village. It's been genuinely life changing. I'll be transparent: I love Firefly Village. But when you eat your favorite meal every day, you start craving something new... Firefly Village is in a great place, and I think it's time for me… | — | |
| Community | The Item Stacking Update is Here! Hi everyone! Josh here! 👋 And a big welcome to everyone who just joined our community during the Autumn Sale! 🎃 I'm releasing a surprise (and highly requested!) new feature today: Item stacking! I’ll admit I've been dragging my feet on adding this. I grew up on farming sims that didn't have stacking, so I didn't quite get the hype. But I kept seeing how many of you were asking for it... and n… | — | |
| Community | Smooth Moves and Fluffy Friends Hi everyone! Josh here. 👋 A common critique I see is that Firefly Village's grid movement can feel stiff and restrictive. Of course, grid movement is deeply ingrained in the game, so changing it would be impossible… Just kidding! ✨ Today’s update overhauls player movement to feel more modern. Let me know what you think! I also got carried away and added a new animal: fluffy bunnies!🐇 I’m call… | — | |
| Community | One Month of Firefly Village Hey everyone. Josh here! It’s hard to believe Firefly Village launched a month ago ! I’m so grateful for all the kind words, helpful feedback, and the time you’ve spent in the village so far. Seeing the reviews and stories you’ve shared has been a huge boost. Thank you. 💛 This first month has been a mix of fixing the rough edges, enjoying your feedback, and watching the community grow. I don’t… | — | |
| Game update | Intro Cutscene Language and Exit Confirmation Hi everyone! Josh here with a quick patch! I think I FINALLY solved the intro cutscene switching languages! I know, I said that before and was wrong, but this time I think I really got it! Keep an eye out and let me know if it pops up again? I also added a little "Are you sure?" confirmation when returning to the title screen. No more accidental exits! Lastly, I heard back from BitDefender! The… | 19736128 | |
| Community | Firefly Village hit 50 REVIEWS on Steam! Hi everyone! Josh here! Firefly Village hit 50 REVIEWS on Steam! I know that might not sound like a lot, but it's a big deal! Two weeks ago I was genuinely having panic attacks over whether or not I'd sell a single copy...! To everyone who reviewed the game, thank you! If you haven't reviewed it yet, please consider it! (The Steam algorithm gods are watching...!) What am I working on right now?… | — | |
| Community | Regarding Steam Deck saves Hey everyone, I need to address an issue with the last patch. Without getting too technical, I changed how the game is exported. Not only is the new version more stable, but it also interfaces way better with Steam (hello achievements!). But I didn't understand the Steam Deck's architecture well enough and I made some mistakes. It sounds like many Steam Deck users lost their saves during the tr… | — | |
| Community | Steam Deck Verification! Achievement Fixes! Hi everyone! Josh here! Firefly Village has been out for a little over a week and the response so far has been amazing! Thank you so much!! I have a lot to cover! First, today is another big milestone because... WE ARE OFFICIALLY VERIFIED ON STEAM DECK! This was... honestly a lot of work to set up! But it's exciting to finally succeed. I know Steam Deck support was a frequent request from the c… | — | |
| Game update | Retroactive Achievements and Well Behaved Slimes! Hi everyone! Josh here! 👋 Achievements seem to be working for everyone now! I'm SO happy to hear that. 🎉 But what if you earned achievements while they were broken? Did you miss out? 😰 I just pushed a little patch that will check for any "one time" achievements (ie, becoming best friends with someone, buying an animal, upgrading your house, etc) and retroactively give you the achievements wh… | 19662696 | |
| Game update | Achievement Update! Hey everyone! I know some of you have been experiencing issues with Steam Achievements not unlocking properly. I haven't been resting idle though - I spent all day working on a patch! Early testers report that achievements are now working consistently on PC... and Steam Deck too?! This fix is now live for everyone to try. I'm really grateful to everyone who has been patient with me as I figured… | 19646337 | |
| Game update | Update: Double Inputs and BitDefender False Positives Hi everyone, Josh here! 👋 Two quick updates: 🎮 Controller Double Input Fix I saw a couple reports of users getting double letters with a single button press on the name entry screen. I'll be honest, I couldn't reproduce this on my end, but I've added some extra safeguards that should prevent any double inputs. Can you let me know if it worked? If you're still experiencing issues, please share… | 19608245 | |
| Community | A bunch of bug fixes! Hi everyone! 👋 It's been two days since launch! To everyone who has bought the game, thank you so much!! I've been monitoring your posts, and just pushed a new update live! It sounds like a lot of you were jumpscared by this debug screen today! 😅 That should be resolved now. Sorry about that... that's the last time I push a "quick fix" before bed! That's not all: 🏆 Achievements seem to be wo… | — | |
| Game update | Achievement Hotfix! Hi everyone! Josh here 👋 Thank you so much to everyone who bought the game! I know I don't post much in the forums, but I am reading all of your feedback. 📖 And a common issue I'm seeing is that achievements aren't triggering for many of you! I think I found the bug and squashed it. Version 1.3.3.31 is now live! ✨ If achievements still aren't triggering after updating, please let me know! (An… | 19572709 | |
| Major update | Firefly Village is Out NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't thank you all enough! A year ago I wasn't sure if anyone would even notice this little game. But the support in forums, the discord, and all the wishlists - I truly couldn't have gotten this far without your support! ✨ Firefly Village is an intentionally smaller, cozier take on farming sims, so I made sure to price it affordably to reflect that. PLUS it's on sale for launch week, so you… | — | |

| Community | Welcome to Firefly Village! Hi! I'm Josh, a solo game dev. Some of you might know me from my last game, Super Ember Kaboom . This is my newest game, Firefly Village . It's a cozy-and-compact farming sim, with a focused cast and shorter days. It has the same snappy, colorful, and juicy gameplay that people loved from Ember, but recontextualizes it into something new. That's not all, this time I've teamed up with a publishe… | — |
