Happy Monday Ranchers!!
Our first Stretch Goal is reached!! 🥳 We've unlocked "Birds & Insects" thanks to your amazing support and trust!❤️🔥
The Ranchers sky will now be populated with flying birds and insects making it more alive than ever!
We are introducing a variety of flying birds and insects including -but not limited to- Crow, Parrot, Pigeon, Seagull, Eagles, Vultures and colorful other birds and butterflies!
Some birds and insects will only appear in some specific zones, some only on a specific time of the day, weather conditions and/or specific season!
Thanks to The Ranchers systemic engine, birds and insects are totally aware of their surrounding, they will be able to land on the open world elements (NPC houses, city buildings, light pole ...), on your own custom buildings (player house, tent, fences...) and they will adapt their behavior by making autonomous decisions based on what's happening in the open world!
Not all birds and insects are just here to fly around and make your day in The Ranchers open world enjoyable! Some can be harmful to your plantations by feeding them self from your crops and planted seeds, and some can take advantage of your livestock!
“Can I hunt/catch the harmful ones?” Of course you can!
Catched/Hunted birds and insects can be used to decorate your house, sold to well-paying NPCs, help accomplish quests or donated to The Ranchers Museum to help document them all!
As always, we are open to more ideas! Leave a comment or join our discord server to let us know what you have in mind ;)
What’s next?
At 130K, we will be expanding the cooking mechanic… Adding Bee Houses and introducing a totally new gameplay when it comes to how storage conditions will affect the quality and the value of your veggies, fruits and cooked dishes.
