[p]The Farmers Market demo is ready for Steam Next Fest! 🌱[/p][p][/p][p]Over the past few weeks I’ve been polishing the experience based on feedback - improving the early game, tightening the market systems, and making the cozy farming loop smoother.[/p][p][/p][p]What’s new in the demo:
• Improved early progression
• Clearer market feedback
• Balance polish across crops
• Various bug fixes and quality improvements[/p][p][/p][p]If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the perfect time![/p][p][/p][p]Thank you so much to everyone who has wishlisted and supported the game so far - it really helps a solo dev like me![/p]

[p][/p][p]Hey,[/p][p]This is our biggest update yet, based on all the collected feedback from all our lovely players, we have made the following changes. Again thank you for the feedback it means the world to me and I can't wait for next fest to start![/p][p][/p][p]Patch Notes:[/p][p]Fixes & Improvements[/p][p]MAIN:[/p]

• [p]Reduced UI - There is no longer UI for Individual Tools, you can just click on the plot to tend to the plant or animal.[/p]
• [p]Reduced News Text - There were reports that the news text was too lengthy - this has been minimized and now includes any monetary values earned from random events or completing quests.[/p]
• [p]Shortened Intro - We received feedback that the intro was too lengthy and allowed the player to skip the full intro when they wanted to just skip to the next intro line after, we have now shortened the intro text and added the ability to skip line by line as and when the player wants to do so.[/p]
• [p]Removed Calendar UI - we have removed the bulky calendar UI, this was not necessary and players thought it was overkill, you will now just see day text.[/p]
• [p]Increased Quest Bar size so it is more readable.[/p]
• [p]Tweaked animal animations so they don't look like they are floating![/p]

[p]Other:[/p]

• [p]Moved Bank Text to top left of screen.[/p]
• [p]Improved readability of tooltips.[/p]
• [p]Improved readability of Market UI Panel.[/p]

[p][/p][p]What's New[/p]

• [p]Added new animal breeds.[/p]
• [p]Added upgrades (These are only available in the full game and not the demo).[/p]
• [p]Improved tutorial and onboarding for players, this can be accessed when you start a new game and again via the pause menu.[/p]
• [p]Added a market indicator icon next to the bank text, that allows the player to see the current hot crop and the next hot crop. So get planting those quickly![/p]
• [p][/p]
