Farm Folks Devlog #8 Kickstarter Update, Latest NPCs, Automation, and more!

Hello Farm Folks!


We’re excited to share with you our latest devlog. In this update, we would like to chat more about our upcoming Kickstarter and the exciting new features we're implementing into the game.


Kickstarter


As you know, you - our incredible community - have been asking us to launch on Kickstarter. Well, we’re hard at work on crafting more than just the Kickstarter campaign page, but also an official gameplay trailer for Farm Folks! This trailer will showcase all aspects of the game: farming, construction, automation, NPC interactions, machinery, animals, and various means of transportation. We’re proud to say that the entirety of the trailer is shot within the game. We have no plans to use CGI outside of Unity.



The gameplay trailer itself is a massive undertaking for our smaller team, but we know that it will be well worth it (we think you’ll love it)! At the same time, we are continuously developing game features and assets. It’s certainly a juggle of challenging tasks, but we’re making fruitful progress behind the scenes; some of our folks in Legendairy have seen only a fraction of what’s to come.



While our initial hope was to launch the Kickstarter towards the beginning of 2023, our scope ultimately requires more work and attention to detail. With that said, it probably comes as no surprise that we are pushing the Kickstarter launch further as we continue to craft the campaign. We see your eagerness across our channels and feel the love and support of the community; Crytivo is a small but strong team that is fully invested in seeing Farm Folks become the success you all believe it can be.



Though it may take a little longer for us to hit that Kickstarter launch button, we do want to introduce some Stretch Goals ahead of the Kickstarter. These Stretch Goals will help us evaluate new features and introduce them to the game based on our community preferences. Let’s call them Farm Folks Community Stretch Goals. We will reveal new goals if and when we reach the current one(s). Of course, you can influence our future picks by leaving your comments and suggestions in our Discord.


Please check our updated FAQ section to get your questions answered regarding Kickstarter.


Farm Folks Community Stretch Goals



[h2]5000 Kickstarter Followers Stretch Goal[/h2]
[h2]Unlocks Console Release![/h2]



First and foremost, our plan is to release Farm Folks for Steam on Windows. Help us reach 5000 followers on our Kickstarter promo page to unlock console support for PlayStation and Xbox! The Nintendo Switch console will be introduced as its own goal during the Kickstarter campaign. This decision is meant to account for Switch hardware limitations. If we achieve this goal in the future, our team will need to hire dedicated developers to help us port the game.

[h2]25000 Twitter Followers[/h2]
[h2]Unlocks Gardener Accessories[/h2]



With 25,000 Farm Folks Twitter followers, we will create a set of character-gardener customizations. This fancy set will include a backpack, gloves, and belt.

Game Updates


[h2]NPCs[/h2]

We’re continuing to develop concepts and backstories for our town folks. These NPCs will be assigned routine life habits and have their own stories to share. Say hello to some of the newer romanceable folks from town:


[h2]Meet Ài [/h2]



Need fashion advice or expert help when shopping for a new pair of fancy shorts? Meet Ài, a romanceable NPC, who is ready to assist you!

[h2]Meet Micha
[/h2]

Micha might give people the cold shoulder at first, but she’ll warm up to you if you share her love of nature and passion for protecting the environment.


[h2]Meet Mike[/h2]

As the owner of the hoverboard shop in town, Mike's success isn't something he brags about.

He's a humble entrepreneur who may be looking for a partner to ride alongside for life.


[h2]Meet Emre[/h2]

Emre is the resident expert on all things birds! You can often catch him birdwatching and sporting his signature quirky style.


[h2]Meet Willie [/h2]

Willie is a dedicated lifeguard on a luxurious yacht docked at the island. With a keen eye for detail and years of experience, he takes pride in ensuring the safety of all passengers.


Character Dialogue Screen


The design of the dialogue screen will allow you to communicate with NPCs. The background elements will change depending on your relationship status with the NPC. For instance, if you're friends with them, you might see spring flowers and a green glow.



[h2]Dialogue Animations WIP[/h2]


[h2]Your AI-powered Companion, Blackbox[/h2]



In Farm Folks, you’ll have an AI powered companion that will help you navigate the world. You can decide his coloring and even choose a decorative plant for him.



Examples of Builds and Customizations


[h2]Library[/h2]


[h2]Bedroom[/h2]



[h2]Stained Glass[/h2]

One of our most unique features so far is the ability to choose stained glass designs and colors for your window frames.




Automation and Factories




Our team has spent a great deal of time developing automation systems for the game. We are excited to share that Farm Folks now has electricity and electric generators!. Wind turbines generate electricity based on their positioning in the world (the higher they are the better), wind direction, and intensity.



We’ve also developed and implemented our hydraulic railing system! This automation will allow you to connect machines together and deliver resources to places quickly and more efficiently.



Sneak peek at a Town Building



There’s plenty more to see as our development progresses with near daily updates on both Discord and Twitter. Be sure to follow along and help us shape the game with your input, suggestions, and voting!


Until next time!

Introducing Farm Folks | DINO CRISIS MODE

Introducing an Unbelievable New Update to Farm Folks

Greetings, dear farmers! We know that you've been enjoying the serene and peaceful life in the world of Farm Folks. But now, we have a thrilling surprise for you! Get ready to embark on an adventure of prehistoric proportions with our latest game mode, Farm Folks: Dino Crisis Mode!

FARM FOLKS | DINO CRISIS MODE




That's right, folks! It's time to trade in your pitchforks for laser-guided weapons and saddle up on your very own combat dinosaurs. Gone are the days of just tending to your crops and livestock. In Dino Crisis Mode, your tranquil farm will transform into a battleground where you'll tame, feed, play catch with and customize dinosaurs, decking them out with weapons, stickers, and maybe even a stylish fedora or two for epic dino duels against fellow players. Can you imagine a T-Rex wearing a tutu? We can, and it's hilarious!



While you can still enjoy the tranquil life of farming, a thrilling twist awaits you. When the time comes, you and your combat-ready dinosaurs will be dropped onto the mysterious Skull Island.



Skull Island spans an impressive 36 km², a mysterious and vast landscape waiting to be explored. As a player, you'll be dropped onto the island alongside your battle dinosaur. In the initial moments, you must locate your dino companion, perhaps hidden amongst the lush foliage, and begin looting the surroundings.



Here, players can team up for groundbreaking Dino Crisis Mode battles that can last for days, or even weeks, of non-stop, adrenaline-pumping gameplay.



This persistent island has the capacity to hold up to 600 players simultaneously, creating a dynamic and unpredictable environment.


Our tests have revealed that not all players exhibit hostility at first; however, we recommend exercising caution and not placing trust in anyone, as alliances may shift quicker than a raptor's reflexes. After all, as they say in the prehistoric world, "keep your friends close, and your dinos closer.



As your loyal dinosaur companions grow exhausted from the intense combat, you'll gain a truly unforgettable experience. With every thunderous step these giants take, the world around you will ignite in flames and become littered with bullet casings.



And, for a bit of fun, our developers have added a small chance for your dino to let out a cheeky fart, leaving your opponents in a fit of laughter!



Once the dust settles and the battles subside, you and your dinosaur best friend can return home to your peaceful farm. Your mighty dino will then switch gears, assisting you with heavy farming tasks and helping you manage your daily routine. Don't be surprised if you find your dino sunbathing in a kiddie pool, wearing sunglasses, and sipping on a fruit smoothie after a hard day's work!



But how do you get these amazing dinosaurs? As you venture into the wild to find or steal dino eggs, you might come across a particularly sneaky and amusing way to acquire a new dino companion. That's right, you'll have the opportunity to steal a dino egg from another unsuspecting player!



Imagine the hilarity that ensues as you carefully plot your daring heist. Disguise yourself as a friendly, fellow farmer, offer to lend a helping hand, and then, when the moment is right, snatch the precious dino egg right out from under their nose! But be careful not to get caught, or you'll be chased by a pack of angry dinos, leaving you and your stolen egg scrambling for safety.



Each dinosaur will have unique color and skin patterns — no two animals will be the same. Their characteristics and behaviors will also differ, ranging from playful to grumpy or combative.



To achieve this level of diversity and detail, dinosaur skins are procedurally generated by our advanced Open AI, SkinGPT. This innovative system utilizes online information available up to the year 2021 related to dinosaurs and converts that information into high-resolution dinosaur skins, creating truly one-of-a-kind creatures for players to enjoy.



We are committed to making SkinGPT available for free (non-profit). However, if Microsoft decides to buy it for 20 billion dollars, we might have to charge it to a $20 per month subscription fee. But for now, our focus is on providing an amazing experience for all players to enjoy our unique and diverse dinosaurs!





With three distinct dino classes — fast, tactical, and heavy — each with unique perks and weapon-carrying abilities, you'll have endless ways to dominate the battlefield. Need to get somewhere quickly? Hop on a pterodactyl and glide through the skies like a boss, leaving a trail of crop-dusting chaos behind you.



Players can craft weapons on their farms or loot them from defeated rivals on the battlefield. These weapons come with extensive customization options, allowing you to paint them in different colors and even add custom decals.





Each weapon has unique characteristics, introducing diversity to the combat experience. Rare weapons can be discovered in crates scattered throughout Skull Island or unlocked by completing quests for NPCs in the Farm Folks world.



But wait, there's more! We're also introducing a revolutionary voice command system that utilizes your microphone. It allows you to motivate and inspire your dinos during battles with phrases like "Let's go, boy, show them what we can do!" or "Bite his a$$ off!" Train them with new phrases and watch how they react. Don't be shocked if your dino responds with an eye roll or a sarcastic snort — these dinos have a sense of humor too!



So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to rule the farm and the battlefield with your mighty dino army in Farm Folks: Dino Crisis Mode! And remember, this is all just an April Fools' joke — don't forget to have a good laugh with your friends and fellow farmers! Embrace the playful concept of Farm Folks: Dino Crisis Mode and share in the excitement of this prehistoric twist on your favorite farming game. Enjoy the best of both worlds, from peaceful farming to action-packed dinosaur battles sprinkled with humor, as you create unforgettable memories with your trusty dino companions.



Did you know that we plan to launch a Kickstarter campaign for Farm Folks soon? We need your help to create an unforgettable experience for everyone! Click 'Get Notified' for our Kickstarter launch on the Farm Folks page. Your support will make a significant difference during our launch.

Meet Juligan

Meet Juligan
Juligan is a mysterious figure in town, known only by his nickname and the beautiful murals he creates. His art can be found all around town, but few have ever seen the man himself. Juligan is a recluse who lives on the streets and keeps to himself, making him a bit of an enigma among the townsfolk.



Juligan's artistic talent is not limited to commissioned work; his murals often appear on the streets of the town randomly, adding to the intrigue of his persona. You may stumble upon one of his pieces during a stroll through the town, and it is always a treat to see his latest creation.



Despite his closed personality, there is a certain allure to Juligan that draws people in. Perhaps it's the mystery of not knowing his full name or what he likes that makes him so intriguing. Or maybe it's the desire to be the one person who can break through his walls and get to know the real Juligan.



As a romanceable NPC, you may have the opportunity to learn more about Juligan and get to know him on a deeper level. Will you be the one to unlock the secrets of this elusive mural artist and allow him to open his soul to you? Only time will tell.

WATCH LIVE STREAM REPLAY

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Our talented team of illustrators and 3D modelers have been working nonstop on the world of Farm Folks! We’ve been populating the game with unique, highly customizable elements that you will be able to place, decorate, and enjoy in your new home away from home. The level of customization we’re aspiring to is unlike anything you may have ever played before. So buckle up! Here’s Part 3 of our latest devlog.

Kitchen Customizations

Kitchen cabinets will be customization rich (as with almost everything in Farm Folks). For example, you can adjust the width of your cabinets by simply stretching its elements. Paint the wood in whichever color you desire and accent it with custom hardware.



Here's an example of the different variants of kitchen cabinets available:



Of course, no Farm Folks kitchen is complete without your countertop of choice! Our countertops can be painted and adorned with various patterns and textures such as wood, concrete, marble, plastic, etc.















We believe that this attention to detail is a fresh addition to the farming sim genre and, with these details in place, your new home is sure to look magnificent!

Kitchen cabinet handles are an essential component of any kitchen design, and there are numerous types and styles to choose from. From sleek and minimalist handles to ornate and decorative options, the possibilities are endless. Here are a few examples of popular kitchen cabinet handle designs that you might consider for your home:

















Kitchen Stoves

Add some spice to your kitchen utilities with our adorable stoves and matching hoods! Mix and match to your heart’s content. Looking for something whimsical to match your other froggy furniture? Give our dapper frog a try. Maybe your kitchen will be the cat’s meow with our purrrfect kitten design?











You can also take your kitchen into a more classic direction. Maybe even a futuristic one!



We’ve also started working on kitchen appliance clutter that will help inject life into your space.



Fridges

You know that thing that’s buzzing in your kitchen? Well we have a variety of these so-called fridges for you to choose from! You’ll have the perfect (and cutest) place to store your leftovers with an ice box wrapped in a tiger or cow pattern. Maybe you’ll forego the traditional rectangular fridge and opt for a little egg?















As with the majority of our furniture pieces, you’ll have the freedom to tweak every element of this appliance, including the pattern, exterior color, and even the interior color (what craziness, ha)! No matter your craving for customization, we’ve got you covered.



Most of our kitchen appliances are going to be interactive and serve a purpose in-game. We will continue populating your future kitchens with awesomeness so let us know in the comments what we should add next.







Carpets
Carpets and rugs in the game will, of course, have a high level of customization. You can install carpet in an entire room or only place it in specific areas. Different patterns and styles will be available at your fingertips so you can be sure your space is as comfy as can be.





















Items, Furniture, and Clutter
Bathroom Clutter















Baskets



Suitcases



Shelves







Shelves are also customizable! There are up to 3 different colors that can be applied to your shelves. You can choose different styles, play with sizing, and pick different handles. All shelves start off empty and can be filled with our “clutter,” just the way you want it.





Fishing Rod
Fishing rods will have different levels in Farm Folks. Higher-level fishing rods will allow you to catch bigger fish.







Lamps
We’ve designed more light fixtures! Our light fixtures utilize our adaptive design function, meaning fixtures will adapt to the surface you’re pointing your cursor towards. For example, if you choose to place a lamp and point your cursor to the wall, it will automatically change and become a wall lamp! Move your cursor up toward the ceiling and it will adapt and become a ceiling lamp fixture. The same will happen if you look at the floor or a shelf.









What is also cool about these lamps is that you can choose different shades for almost any lamp pole design. You can select your pattern and color for all elements of the lamp.

Coffee Tables



TVs
TVs will deliver important information to you, the player. These broadcasts will include things like Weather Forecasts, Local Festivals, Contest Schedules, etc.



Grandfather Clock





Color Mixer Station
Our Color Mixer Station is specially designed to help you extract colors from berries scattered around the island.



Gather different colored berries and mix them into a jar to yield a unique color. Attach it to your spray gun and you’re good to go! This system will allow us to control coloring options at the beginning of the game for new players. You’ll be able to make any color you want as you progress and unlock new locations with new berries. The UI is still in development, but you’ll get to see it soon. If you don’t want to miss it, please join our Discord or join our emailing list.



NEXT UP: FARMING

There are multiple disciplines in this task that include ground tilling, seeds planting/throwing, crop growth mechanics, watering, etc.

  • We’re working on basic farming mechanics first. It will allow you to plant, water, and harvest crops. In our future updates, we will add a system that will support dynamic fruit or veggie spawning. Based on the set of parameters that you’ll need to meet, you’ll be able to increase or lower the yield of the crop.
  • Watering is another beast of the system. We’ve already implemented water containers and are now working on polishing the system overall. It needs to be intuitive and easy to use.
  • Electricity generation and transmission. Solar panels and windmills will generate electricity for your farm and, by placing electric poles, you’ll be able to deliver electricity to devices or structures that require it.
  • Basic character stats:
    • Fatigue will make your character less efficient and you’ll need to sleep to recover. You can, however, still skip a few nights of sleep if you have things to do since the game doesn’t have a Forceful Night's Sleep mechanic.
    • Character Experience. Your character will acquire experience as a farmer or a builder as your tasks correspond to skill actions. Mechanics, structures, and crops will unlock based on your character's experience.
    • Clothing Stats that include Impression and Practicality. We will talk about this in the future.
  • Resource mining and resource delivery system.
  • Expansion of the construction system, including new construction blocks and new materials.
  • User Experience improvements.
  • Flooring.
  • Wall painting.
  • Character creation and customization.
  • Basic NPC interactions.
  • Quest system expansion.
  • Co-op optimizations.

Kickstarter Announcement

It's official! We're launching a Kickstarter! Many members of our community have been asking for ways to back Farm Folks and/or reserve their copy of the game early. The idea of launching a Kickstarter campaign has been something we’ve seen from fans - old and new. So, after running a couple community polls, we realized that the demand was high enough to launch a campaign that can lead to a more expansive game than any of us initially dreamed.



You can follow the Kickstarter pre-launch page here. Be sure to help spread the word as we'll have plenty of amazing rewards in store for backers! And don't worry, if you had previously backed the game with the original dev team, you will still receive your tier rewards or you can select a new tier equivalent for shiny new goodies from the new Kickstarter. Read our Kickstarter FAQ here.



[h3]Now, let's get into Part 2 of Devlog #5.[/h3]

Resources and Materials

To build the farm of your dreams, you’ll need a number of resources and materials. Lucky for you, we've been working on exactly that! You’ll find an abundance of useful resources scattered around the island with multiple ways of acquiring said materials. Initially, you’ll need to craft tools such as pickaxes or an axe. Using these tools, start mining, chopping trees, or even cracking rocks beneath your feet. Since Farm Folks takes place in a near future, we will be able to introduce technology that you can only dream of in our current time.

[h3]Copper Ore[/h3]


[h3]Iron Ore[/h3]


[h3]Stone[/h3]


[h3]Quartz[/h3]


Don't worry. You won't have to collect resources by hand for too long as we'll incorporate Automatization options for these routine tasks. You'll simply be able to install Resource Extractor Stations that will mine resources from the installation spots - automagically!

Automatization


There are several farming life sim games being released on what seems to be a daily basis. With Farm Folks, we really wanted to be innovative and bring something new to the genre. Something unique. In our quest to do so, we decided to merge game mechanics from your favorite videogames that naturally fit into our Farm Folks vision. We chose to give you detailed construction and customization options with a level of detail never before seen in farming sims.

  • Customization and construction systems inspired by The Sims, Raft, Valheim games, and Animal Crossing.
  • Automatization and resource management systems inspired by Factorio and Satisfactory.
  • Life simulation and farming inspired by Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and Farm Together.


Stations


Miner
This machine mines natural resources for your convenience.



Organic 3D Printer (Extractor. Concept and model still in production)
A 3D printer that produces animal products such as meat, wool, and milk by scanning animal DNA. Love steak? No need to harm any of your animal friends!

Packager
Combine individual farm products into a neat looking package. Packages can be customized to match your desired farm brand. You can even choose your colors and add a customizable farm name on it. Some NPCs will require only packaged products later in the game.



Examples of Animal Products and Packaging:







Mixer
This station mixes things - duh! Mix multiple products to create something new and exciting! For example, mix Sugar, Flour, and Salt to yield Dough. Send it to the Cooker with some berries to start a berry pie production. In Farm Folks, you’re not only able to make products in single quantities, but you’ll be able to set up mass productions. The entire island may come to rely on your production of food and other farming products. We think doing so will be a lot of fun!



Smelter
The Smelter is, of course, a furnace that melts things into other things. It can be used further down the production line. For example, the Smelter can make Iron Rods out of Iron Ore or Copper Plate out of Copper Ore.



Fabricator
This station will produce technological materials and parts that can be used in construction or building technology. It can produce items such as Bolts, Wooden Planks, Wire, etc.



Assembler
Manufacture complete technologies using our Assembler! Here you’ll be able to produce Scooters or make Water Sprinklers that can be used for watering automatization on your farm.



Cooker
It cooks! Add farm products, select a recipe, and our Cooker will do the rest! Produce delicious dishes that can feed the entire island (and keep their taste buds happy).



Examples of Recipes/Dishes:



Sewing Station
Everyone needs pants and you can satisfy the demand by building Sewing Stations that will stitch them together. Pants = profit. Sweaters, shirts, blankets, and other cozy products can be produced with this machinery.



Hydraulic Transportation Rails


All Stations can be connected with one other via Hydraulic Transportation Rails (HTR). These rails transport goods from one place to another, similar to conveyer belts.

These rails can be merged and connected at almost any point to give you flexible access to the goods delivery system. This system will utilize our custom pathfinding algorithm that will allow merging multiple rails together and separation later on. This ease of directionality will allow for a simple delivery of resources either directly to the station or to storage containers.



Crafting Table
Will allow you to craft useful materials manually. It doesn’t require electricity to function and can be used at any time.

Note: inventory icons are placeholders.

Plant Breeding Table
Here you’ll be able to breed plants! You can even mix species to create something very unusual. We will talk about this station more in the future as the game design and concepts are still pending.



We want to have only green, self-sustained energy in the game. Everything that you produce on the farm is harmless to the environment and the life around you. You won't see dark plumes of smoke coming out of machines during production and animals won't suffer. We produce meat and other animal products utilizing our organic 3D Printer Station. It scans animal DNA and prints products related to the animal. Peace, love, and harmony are going to dominate your farm. 💛

With that said, all of your stations need to be powered by electricity. There are a few options for how you can generate electricity in Farm Folks.



Energy can be delivered to machines via Electric Poles.



You can build Wind Turbines or Solar Panels to generate electricity which can then be stored in large Battery Banks or small mobile ones. Small batteries can be used to power some of your mobile farm machinery like your Electric Scooter or Motorollers.



Scooters


You can own your very own electric scooter! How cool is that? You know what’s cooler though? You can actually have your friend or an NPC ride with you! You can purchase a Scooter in Town on the Main Island.



Animals

On your farm, you’re not only going to plant crops and build beautiful structures, but you'll also be able to tame animals, breed them, and produce animal products for local Islands and NPCs.

We’ve been hard at work modeling, rigging, and animating our animal friends. You’ll be able to make nearly all animals your pets. Your pets can travel with you around the world or - even better - you’ll be able to ride them. Check out the animals we've already modeled:



All animals can be found and tamed in the world or purchased from local NPCs. Animals will have color variations and rarity. You’ll be able to breed them to yield unique color variants.



Animations

It all comes in stages. First and foremost, we have to develop a concept for our Characters or Animals before our artists make it into a 3D piece of art. Once we have a 3D model, it is then rigged and animated. So far, we have created over 100 unique animations for our characters and animals. Check out some of these models below.



New Crops

We will talk more about farming systems in our upcoming updates but we can tell you that we plan to have an excessive amount of crops in the game. Crop growth will have a dynamic link between environmental conditions and moisture. Each plant can produce a different amount of goods and yield a specific harvest based on its treatment during its growth period.

VERY IMPORTANT: please let us know in the comments if you've come across a crop planting system in the past that you really love. We would love to hear your thoughts! Also, join our Discord for further discussions here.

[h3]Carrots[/h3]


[h3]Potatoes[/h3]


[h3]Tomatoes[/h3]


[h3]Eggplants[/h3]


[h3]Corn[/h3]


[h3]Cucumbers[/h3]


We’re also exploring the possibility of crop cross breeding which would allow you to mix crops together to get a very unique breed. For example, you can mix a Potato with a Watermelon and yield a Watertato.



These kinds of crops will have a higher value and will also require more attention from you during its growth period. We will cover more about this system in the future so make sure to sign-up to our email updates if you don’t want to miss it.

Inventory

Oof, this one is a challenge for sure. You know how you play games and never question how certain systems work if they work well? Sometimes, these systems look simple and straightforward but they are actually very complicated! A character's inventory is one of those systems. It’s one thing to make this system work for a single-player experience and another for co-op games. For co-op games, we need to ensure the system is synced with the current world you’re in. We're working tirelessly on this system and we think it’s shaping up nicely.

Note: inventory icons are placeholders.

Plowing, Seeding and Watering

We’re working on the implementation of our Water Spray Gun which you can carry with you everywhere! In your inventory, you can store water bottles that you can craft at the crafting bench. These bottles can be refilled with water at water ponds. You can also share water bottles with each other in co-op mode.

Additionally, our faming system is shaping up nicely! As you can see below, planting seeds is going to be extremely satisfying with our advanced watering system. By keeping your plants watered and happy, you'll be the prized farmer on the Island in no time!
