Early Playtest Schedule Update: Moving to Mid-July

Howdy Partners!

Every farmer knows that working the land isn't always sunshine and good harvests; sometimes you have to face unexpected challenges. This is one of those moments. We need to move the early playtest to mid-July.

As we review the current build, it is clear we need more time to deliver a genuinely fun and stable experience. Rushing the release wouldn't meet our quality standards. This mid-July buffer ensures everything works properly before you jump in. We will announce the exact date soon.

To give you an idea of what we are doing with this extra time, we are focusing on refining the bots and balancing the automation systems. We are also polishing the UI and tweaking minor elements that impact the gameplay experience, as well as tracking down and fixing various bugs.

Thank you for your patience and for sticking with us. Your support means the world to our small team, and we are working hard to make sure the wait is worth it.


How to join the early playtest?

Head over to our main Steam store page and click the green "Request Access" button in the Playtest section, just below the screenshots. And hey, while you're over there, we'd be mighty grateful if you added Farmbotic to your Wishlist!

When the time comes, selected players will receive an email notification directly from Steam.

Remember that this is an early playtest! Not all parts of the game are ready and for now we will focus on single player experience.


Come Say Howdy on Social Media!

If you want to chat with us or see more day-to-day updates, be sure to join our Discord and follow us on X and Facebook.

You can also find updates there regarding our other titles, including House Flipper Remastered Collection, Honeycomb: The World Beyond and Fish & Hike.

Cheers!

~ Farmbotic Team
