Hello Ranchers!

The first patch for Alpaca Rancher is here with a few fixes and additions that should make your time ranching alpacas just a bit smoother.

Thanks for all the feedback so far and we hope you are enjoying the game!

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a visual issue with key prompts not expanding to fit larger key binds such as 'space'. They now expand correctly.
  
• Fixed an issue with gold chest interactions not working. All gold chests are now interactable. (Sorry about that!)
  
• Fixed a bug with the fishing minigame where if the fish icon started within the catching zone it would not progress the catch amount. It will now never spawn within the catch zone.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Windward Valley bridge having a hidden collision blocking the path. The collision now correctly turns off.
  

[h2]Additions[/h2]

• Added quest icons to NPC markers in the map screen to make it easier to see which NPCs have quests.
  
• Added a location description to Noticeboard quests to tell the player where the NPC that posted the quest is located. This should help with finding them more easily in the world.

[h3]Alpaca Rancher is officially released on Steam today May 2nd, 2025![/h3]

Learn the basics of alpaca ranching from your teacher, Master Agist, before venturing out on your own, helping out the residents of Pacos Island, earning upgrades for your ranch and gaining skills for your character.

Farm, fish and forage a variety of foods before cooking them into delicious meals for your alpacas to eat.

Discover a variety of stylish alpacas on your adventures through Pacos Island to take care of on your ranch. Some will need your help to return to Pacos Island while some can be combined in a breeding station to create new alpacas.


It has been a lot of work for our two person team over the past 2.5 years, but our first ever indie game is now released!

From us both at JointPoint Studios, We very much hope that you will enjoy your time with Alpaca Rancher and can’t wait to hear about your adventures on Pacos Island.

Happy Ranching!

[h2]The Journey[/h2]
It has been a long 2.5 year journey to get to this point and most of it was recorded! (Well some was...)
You can see the development here on our Youtube Page.

For the past 2.5 years we have been developing our first full length indie game, Alpaca Rancher, in the Godot game engine. We started out with a very small idea of pulling alpacas around with a lead.

The scope of this idea quickly grew with the addition of building plots, farming crops, building a world, having interactable NPCs and objects within that world, cooking, quests, puzzles and yes, even riding the alpacas.

[h3]Thank you![/h3]
We hope you enjoy your time with Alpaca Rancher and please don't hesitate to provide feedback!
