Hello, Ranch Farmers! 🌱

We’re excited to bring you another update for the Demo version of Ranch Farm and Store Simulator! In this update, we are introducing a brand new feature that will help you protect your farm, meet the Guardian!



Your First Farm Guardian: The Beagle Dog
Starting in the Demo, you can now get your very first Guardian to help safeguard your farm. The first Guardian you’ll meet is a loyal Beagle Dog, always ready to assist you when wild animals come inside your farm.

How It Works in the Demo
When a wild animal enters your farm area, your Guardian will alert you and indicate the direction where the intruder is located. This will help you react faster and protect your animals and crops.

More Guardian Abilities and Types Coming After Demo
In this initial Demo version, the Guardian focuses on alerting you to the presence of wild animals. But this is just the beginning! In future updates after the Demo, we will be adding more advanced abilities, such as helping you actively drive away wild animals and other exciting features to make farm protection more dynamic. Other things that you will find on later updates we will introducing other guardians type too to help in your farm. We’ll be revealing these new abilities and new types of guardian step by step in future Devlogs, so stay tuned!

How to Unlock Guardian in Demo
You will be able to access your Guardian once you reach Level 3 in the Demo. We encourage you to try it out and if you have any fun ideas or feedback on how to improve the Guardian feature, we’d love to hear them!

Hello, Farmers! 🧑🏻‍🌾

Thank you so much for playing our game and for being an incredible part of our journey. Your feedback, whether through discussion comments, in-game feedback, or other channels, has been invaluable to us. We truly appreciate your passion and insights as they help us improve and grow together.

Now, we’re excited to bring you the latest update for Ranch Farm & Store Simulator. This patch will include exciting new features and challenges. Here's what's new:

[h2]Feature Updates[/h2]
1. Wild Animals Can Now Attack Your Farm
Farms aren’t always peaceful. Wild animals can now invade your land and destroy your valuable crops and goods. Act quickly and drive them away using the new broom tool to protect your farm’s productivity.



2. Livestock Waste System Introduced
Your livestock now produce animal waste that must be cleaned regularly using the broom. If left uncleaned, your animals will stop producing resources. This system adds an extra layer of realism and care to your animal management.



3. Tool Mode Added
You can now activate Tool Mode using the T key, allowing for smoother tool switching and better control during tasks like sweeping, planting, or feeding.

4. Carry More with Multi-Slot Hands
Item handling just got easier. Players can now carry up to three items at once during hand mode, streamlining transportation around the ranch, farm, and store.



5. New Employees to Help You Grow
At Level 2, a cashier becomes available to manage your store operations. By Level 3, you can hire a dedicated farmhand to help with daily chores. Employees will be essential as your business expands.

We’ve added new tools, livestock, and crops to the system. Some of these are not accessible yet in the demo, but they’re laying the groundwork for upcoming content drops.

[h2]Visual Improvements[/h2]

• Planter Boxes have received a visual refresh.
  
• Lighting in the cashier area has been adjusted to reduce overexposure.
  
• NPC Customers have been improved to prevent mesh overlapping issues.
  

[h2]Gameplay Fixes and Adjustments[/h2]

• Livestock and product colliders no longer block player movement in pens.
  
• Fixed storage inventory to allow easier access to all slots.
  
• Resolved pricing issue with seed boxes that previously sold for $0.
  
• Updated livestock food visuals to show a single feed sack and improved the animation.

Hello, ranchers and future store tycoons!

We’re beyond excited to announce our upcoming game Ranch, Farm & Store Simulator, where you’ll experience the full journey of rural life, from raising animals and growing crops to managing your own country store! Whether you’re a casual player or a management sim enthusiast, this game offers everything you need to build a thriving ranch, a productive farm, and a successful local business.

As we kick off development, we’ve made several improvements and additions to enhance the early gameplay experience:

[h3]1. Smoother New Game Transition[/h3]
We’ve replaced the initial tweening animation for store title changes with a fade-to-black effect to give the start of the game a cleaner, more immersive feel.



[h3]2. New Tools Added[/h3]
Chainsaw, Fishing Rods, Bags, and raw commodity processing machines are added in the tools menu.



[h3]3. Livestock Yield Balancing[/h3]
We’re working on improving the output of animal commodities. The new system will allow animals to produce larger quantities of goods steadily until the end of their lifespan, making livestock farming more rewarding in the long run.



[h3]4. More Crop Types[/h3]
We're also developing new types of livestock and crops to expand the farming possibilities. These additions are still in progress, and we’re excited to share more once they’re ready.



That wraps up our very first development update for Ranch, Farm & Store Simulator!
We’re still in the early stages, but each step brings us closer to delivering a solid gameplay experience that blends ranching, farming, and store management.

Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to let us know what you’d love to see in the game. 🌾🛒

Cheers!
