Exciting Updates and Revamps!

Hello Farmers!, 🌾🌻

We know it's been a while since our last update, but we've been hard at work behind the scenes. After receiving your feedback from the last demo, we realized it was crucial to revisit the drawing board. We've been busy redesigning some game mechanics and visuals to enhance your experience. Now, we're excited to share our progress and will continue to post weekly updates leading up to the Early Access (EA) release. Here's what's new in the world of our cute farming game:

[h3]Revitalized Village Layout 🏘️
[/h3]We've completely redesigned the village to make it more practical and, dare we say, even more beautiful! Expect to see additional houses, paving the way for more stores and NPCs. These additions are part of our plan to introduce exciting new mechanics in future updates.



[h3]Enhanced NPC Interactions πŸ‘₯
[/h3]Interacting with NPCs is now more dynamic, thanks to a new style of interaction and a work-in-progress UI overhaul. We can't wait for you to experience the improved social aspect of our game!



[h3]Farm Mechanics: Solar Power β˜€οΈπŸ”‹
[/h3]Introducing a green twist to your farming routine! Now, you'll need to build solar panels to power your farm's electric needs. This new mechanic is not only eco-friendly but also crucial for an upcoming addon we're thrilled about. Stay tuned!



[h3]Continuous Day-Night Cycle πŸŒžπŸŒ™
[/h3]Say goodbye to mandatory sleep to progress to the next day. The day-night cycle now flows continuously, giving you the freedom to sleep whenever you choose. Rest to restore all your stamina or just take a brief 8-hour break before continuing your farm adventures.



[h3]Island-wide Bus Service 🚌
[/h3]Getting around just got a whole lot easier! We've added two buses that traverse the island, complete with specific stops for easy access. Hop on for a quick ride to your destination or a leisurely trip to explore new areas.



[h3]Animal Taming and Pets 🐾
[/h3]Ever wanted a wild island animal as a pet? Now's your chance! By feeding animals their favorite foods, you might just earn a new companion, each offering unique stat boosts. Be aware of the rarities and specific conditions to find these animals. And remember, nurturing your relationship with your pets can lead to rewarding outcomes.



Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for our game. See you next week with more updates! πŸŒΎπŸ“πŸŽ
