Howdy, farmers! 🤠
Recently we've been getting a ton of messages asking when the game is coming out, and reading them makes us really happy to know that you guys are so excited for it!
Currently, we don't have a specific date set - and we don't want to give you an estimated timeframe that we're not certain about to avoid not being able to deliver it later.
At the same time, we want to ensure transparency and keep you informed about what we're still working on before the game's release. 😊
Short-term goals (What we are doing right now!)
- Main Menu
We're almost done with the main menu. The shop, settings window, and the profile customization are the major things left to complete. - Player progression
By playing the game, you'll unlock rewards and level up your account. These systems are almost ready, they just need some balancing and the implementation of some remaining graphical elements. - More characters and skins!
We're striving to have a lot of characters and each one of them with at least one unique skin. The art team has been working hard and it's pretty cool seeing all of them come to life! And, for those who are curious, we currently have a total of approximately 37 characters + skins already implemented!
Medium-term goals (We'll soon start doing those!)
- Remaining random events
Some of the random events need a bit of adjusments, and we've got plans to add more of them to some of the farms. - Improve visual clarity
We will develop strategies to help players better identify their characters during chaotic moments in the game. - In-game Tutorial
Striking the balance between an informative tutorial and one that is not too boring or lengthy is proving to be challenging. We will focus on finding a solution that works. - Localization
The programming for game localization is complete, we just need to finish the localization for all the languages we're targeting.
Long-term goals (The last things we will do before launch!!)
- Steam Achievements
Design and implement the steam achievements.
Ongoing Tasks (We're always working on those things!)
- Game Polish
Bug fixing, balancing changes, network connection improvements, and other small tweaks are always ongoing during the development of the game. - Audio
We're always adding new sound effects and music, as well as replacing some that we feel don't quite fit.
We appreciate your excitement for the game! We are working hard to deliver the best experience possible and are making steady progress towards its release. There will be more updates on our progress and we'll let you know when we have a specific launch date. Thank you for your support and we can't wait for you to play Farm Your Friends! 🌾🚜🐷
