It’s been a little while since Farmers Market launched, so I wanted to share an update on what’s been happening behind the scenes - and give you a first look at what I’ve been working on next!
First of all, thank you. ❤️
Farmers Market is a small game made by me as a solo developer, and seeing people actually growing their farms, battling the changing market and sharing feedback since launch has been incredibly rewarding.
Since release, I’ve been listening closely to that feedback, fixing issues and looking at where I could take the game next.
And what started as a small post-launch idea has grown into the biggest update I've made for Farmers Market so far.
A major free update is currently in development that introduces a completely new way to play Farmers Market.
Villagers will begin placing their own orders for produce from your farm.
Instead of always relying on the unpredictable market, you'll be able to decide whether to sell your harvest at the market or fulfil requests from the people in your village.
Complete orders, build your reputation and gradually unlock more demanding requests as your farm grows.
The Village Orders update currently includes:
🌱 61 new villager orders
📦 A brand-new Village Orders system
⭐ Villager Reputation progression
🏆 New Steam achievements
🥕 Simple, medium and more demanding orders to unlock
💰 Another way to earn money from the crops you grow
⏱️ Several more hours of Farmers Market gameplay
I've been working hard behind the scenes to make this feel like a meaningful expansion to the original game rather than just a small content patch.
And importantly...
If you already own Farmers Market, Village Orders will be included as a free update.
There’s nothing extra to buy.
I'm still putting the finishing touches on everything, so I'm not announcing an exact release date just yet.
But you won't have too long to wait...
Village Orders is coming this autumn. 🍂
I'll be sharing more as we get closer to release.
👀 A first look at Village Orders
Here's an early look at the new order system currently being developed. Things may still change before release!
If Farmers Market has been sitting on your wishlist, the game is currently 20% off as part of Steam's Weeklong Deals.
It's a great opportunity to start building your farm before Village Orders arrives later this autumn. 🌾
Thank you again to everyone who has played, wishlisted, reviewed or supported Farmers Market since launch.
There's plenty more growing behind the scenes. ❤️
