I’m so excited to announce the first closed beta for Pine Lily Village!

When: 10:00am CST March 23rd through 11:00pm CST March 26th

How: You must sign up for my mailing list to participate in the closed beta. At the start of the beta, you will receive an email with a link to an Itch.io page where you can download the game. That link will expire at the end of the beta.

What to Expect: The beta will be missing features such as combat and festivals but you can still expect around an hour of gameplay. To be clear, participation in the beta will not result in a free copy of the final release.

I’ve been developing a cooking mini game that requires puzzle solving and memory skills. Fishing in the game requires some precise clicking and I wanted cooking to feel different.

The quality of the crafted dish will matter a lot. For example, a higher quality item could be three times more effective than the normal quality one. So it will be to your advantage to learn the mini game as well as unlock new abilities that allow you to optimize better and better recipes.




Talk to you soon,

Books can be bought from the librarian in town, gifted as a reward from a quest, or found in a dark corner of the dungeon. Once you have a book, you will have to take it back to your farm house to read it. By finishing a book, the player could gain experience points to level up a skill, a new crafting recipe, or even start a new quest.

But reading books takes time. For every passage of a book that is read, a portion of the day is lost. So, you will have to balance reading with your other daily activities. Some books are short but others may take multiple days to complete.

You will be able to choose from 2 different body types and many different skin tones, hair styles and clothing options in the final game. The image below is the current state of the character customization for the upcoming beta (more details on this in the coming months!) which only allows you to choose between 3 different presets.

I plan on adding more customization options such as accessories and hats in the final release.
