Alpaca Rancher - Patch 2

Hello Ranchers!

Patch 2 is here with even more squished bugs!

We have had a few very detailed reports over the last week and have aimed to address all of them!

We would also like to thank everyone that are reporting bugs and giving feedback and suggestions. The more we know about the more we can fix / improve!


[h2]Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed an issue with the logbook not updating when entering some of the 'trial' locations. The collisions have been updated. (If you still need these logbook entries then just head back to each trial gate and walk on through!)

  • Fixed the player house exit setting a incorrect area name causing the map screen to display the wrong image.

  • Fixed a 'soft lock' issue during the tutorial. Now if you upgrade the alpaca trough before feeding the alpacas the quest will update correctly.

  • Fixed a 'soft lock' issue during the tutorial. Interacting with alpacas can now only be done when the player is inside of the pen.

  • Fixed an issue where alpacas could get very far away from the player causing the world to 'unload' and sticking players in an interaction. Alpacas now snap/spawn back near the player if they get too far away.

  • Fixed recipe's and items being missing from shop inventories. All crafting recipes can now be found in their respective shops. e.g.(cooking recipes at George Grainlines Shop). All items that should be purchasable via the delivery box can now be.

  • Fixed a typo in the 'Cooking Station' tutorial popup.

  • Fixed crafting station 'collect' amount text showing 0. It now updates to the correct amount when re-opening the crafting UI.

  • Fixed an issue with the 'Figurine it out!' achievement not popping. It now tracks and pops correctly. (If you already completed this achievement but never got it, loading your save file will pop the achievement.)

  • Fixed an issue with Steam Stats not tracking correctly. Steam stats now update correctly in the achievements section of steam.

  • Fixed an issue with 'loot cave' maps not syncing up in the map screen. They now position all markers correctly.

  • Fixed an issue with the 'stinky' effect from manure not going away when upgrading the pen. It now resets that effect and cleans up correctly.

  • Fixed an issue on PC where the cursor would disappear when claiming logbook rewards. The cursor no longer turns off when claiming the rewards via the logbook screen.

  • Fixed an issue with key binds in the in-game book settings menu. Control binds now correctly save when rebinding in the book menu.

  • Fixed pen collection box. You can now collect items even if there is only manure in the box.


[h2]Additions[/h2]
  • Added Steam Rich Presence support.

Alpaca Rancher - Patch 1

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.

Alpaca Rancher Releasing May 2nd 2025!

[h2]Greetings![/h2]
Hello all!
We are extremely excited to announce the release date for Alpaca Rancher here on Steam.

[h2]Releasing : May 2nd 2025[/h2]
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2204950/Alpaca_Rancher/

[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!
