[h3]🌟More About Critter Crops🌟[/h3]

🦇🫐Critter Crops isn't your run-of-the-mill farming simulation. Instead of traditional crops, you'll be nurturing Critters, like the mysterious Batberry. Cultivate and raise your Critter Crops to unveil 24 distinct critters, each with its own unique growth conditions and special abilities. As you upgrade each critter, you'll unlock more of the island's well-guarded secrets!

🔮Engage in a multitude of activities, including farming, noodling, mining, gathering, and exploration, all of which will help you level up and and uncover the mysterious treasures of Mutter Island.

🫧♡Extend a warm welcome to newcomers on the island, build lasting friendships, and witness the flourishing of Mutter Island! Elevate your abilities and delve deeper into the island's mysteries.
Gather essential resources to aid in the restoration of Mur Mur Town and utilize your critters to navigate the untamed expanses of the island.

Critter Crops: Release Delay

Dear Critter Coven,

We are sure some of you have seen the change on our Steam page regarding our release window and as we have always said, we promise total transparency, so here it is.

While we would have loved to launch in Q4 this year, the closer we got, the more it became clear that was not realistic due to the number of bug fixes and polish that would bring Critter Crops to a standard our studio could be proud of and that you all would enjoy.

Due to this hurdle, we have made the difficult decision to launch early next year instead. We know that this isn't the news you all wanted to hear, and we hope you can forgive us while we iron out the kinks and get Mutter Island ready for you!

Thank you for your support, as always. For all the critter content, check us out on Twitter, TikTok, and join our Discord community.

May Update!

Hi everyone! We’re back with some short developer updates - I’m sure you all will be just as excited as we are about them!

We’re currently working on defining all in game items and use cases. Then, we will be drawing icons for all items.

(some of our icons!)

From there, we’re moving into dialogue icons for all the NPCs and the associated dialogues.

In June the game enters the polishing stage. We're so excited - we’ll be making everything pretty before release!

(look at HOW CUTE these are though)

Thank you everyone so much for your continued support. If you want to join our community, feel free to pop by our Discord, follow us on Twitter or TikTok. We can’t wait to see you!

(still stuck on these icons, honestly 😭)

That's all for now! Talk to you again soon.
