Hello Ranchers!

First of all I want to thank you all from the deep of my heart for all the kind words and support about The Ranchers!

My name is Ethan, I'm a father of a 4 year old little girl, a geek and an old time farm SIM lover.

Like many of you, I grow up with games like Harvest Moon, The Sims and GTA and I played the hell out of games like Stardew Valley and Animals crossing... Till' dreaming of myself playing those games when I'm sleeping :D

And one day, I get this sticky idea: What about creating a game that will combine all the mechanics and stuffs I love about those games? A modern game that will push every boundary of those beloved classics?

You guess it! That sticky idea become the game we now call The Ranchers!

I start working on The Ranchers as a side project to my day job back in 2016.
A few years later I had a baby, quit my job, sold everything my wife and I own, we bought a farm (yes a real one :D) and The Ranchers became my full-time daily job! (After taking care of our cows of course)

Now we are a small, multicultural team of great and talented people working on The Ranchers 24/7 (barely kidding :P) and we can't wait to share more exciting infos about the game with you!

And yeah, if you want to say hello and have a chat, feel free to join us on our freshly created Discord Sever .

Chat to you soon!

Ethan
