Forgive me! I had really 3 options

  1. Release a smaller project and just get it out there by end of October.

  2. Early Access. I am not a fan of that and will try my best to avoid this option. As it's not good for the customer/my own motivation.

  3. Delay the release and add a lot more exciting features.

I want to add a lot more, So I chose #3.

As exciting as it is to have more to add, it also is really time consuming. Especially these darned rotoscopes:

Here are some exciting new features I plan on adding that will can be expected soon.

  1. Mansion exploration. Randomly generated corridors that reload upon entering. When food runs low you'll have no choice but to scavenge these cursed halls...

  2. Hunger management. I'm adding a screen to choose how much each NPC gets to eat each day. Resources are limited. Who deserves to eat today? Who can survive another day without water?

  3. Magic items. Many items that will mutate the player and playstyle. Masks that turn you grotesque and clothing that melts to your skin. Not very pretty, but definitely personalizes your character.

  4. Winter. It'll be much more cold/frigid. Not as "cozy" as your average farming simulator.

  5. More "Apocalyptic". after the 3 days of darkness.

  6. Multiplayer?

  7. Voice chat?

  8. Multiple endings

  9. Supply/Demand based markets and stock markets.

  10. Fishing

  11. More cities

  12. Much more

So a lot... I think this would be worth a small day? Let me know what you think. I'm open to any options you all think are better or features you think are more important. I'm all ears!

I'm aiming to release the game Q2 of 2026. (That may not be final!)

I will update you all as soon as I can.

In the mean time...

I Want Your Feedback!

until next time y'all 🤠
