Rusty's Retirement · published 23 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey folks,

I thought I'd give a little life update post-release and what plans I have for the game.

Personal life

As some of you may already know, I made this game in a record-breaking 6 months. Steam planned a farming festival for April 2024 and I knew that I had to release the game during that timeframe to increase the game's chances of success - luckily it paid off!

With that said, I pushed myself quite hard during those months. After the release, I fixed bugs for a month, I made a "Quality-of-Life" update, and then I decided to take it easy after that.

I spent time with friends and family, I went to different game conventions (Gamescom and Tokyo Games Show) and met with a bunch of you face-to-face. I had many great talks with other developers and I hope I was able to help provide some insight on what worked for me when making/selling games.

Lately though, I've been brainstorming new ideas for the game, and testing out a few of the new ideas.

New Winter Update! (work-in-progress)

That's right, I'm currently working on a new Winter update that will include a new snowy map, new crops, and a brand-new character. The current plan is to release this new update at the beginning of December so be on the lookout for more info!

I have other ideas for future updates but these still need to be explored and worked on. I need to see if they are viable and whether they fit with the rest of the game.

Thank you for everything!


My little brother is dipping his toes into game dev!
