FAQ
What is the price?
Base price, before any discounts, is set at $12.99 / €11.99 / 34,99 zł / R$ 34,99 / ¥ 45.00. The game launches with a 2-week 15% discount and a bunch of awesome bundles set at 10% off.
Valve recently shared a new price calculator, which you might have heard of, and I used it to adjust the prices for all regions. The price should be pretty polished, and I hope, with the launch discount, you'll be satisfied :)
How much content is in the game?
There are 76 cards (218 if you include the upgrades!), 47 scarecrows, 7 pets with 5 tiers each, 12 distinct card classes, 18 hazards for extra challenge, 8 unique biomes, 21 card packs, 15 weather conditions, and more! I hope that's enough :)
Each run takes 30-50 minutes and is divided into 3 seasons (with the option go endless!). On top of that there are a few achievements to unlock!
Can I transfer my progress from the demo?
Yes! You will be asked for it the first time you run the game. You can also do that from the settings. Not all the demo cards are transferable, but most of them - I skipped some of them where it made more sense to leave them locked at the beginning of a new save.
Are you planning any updates?
If there are any bugs urgent to fix in the coming days, I will release some patches. I will also look at the balance to possibly make some adjustments where necessary.
If you are asking about bigger content updates, I have a lot of cool ideas! If the game release goes well, I hope to add more content in the future :)
Can you localize the game to my language?
I look closely at where the players are coming from. If the release goes well and I can afford it, I will be extending the available localizations.
Are you planning other platforms?
At the moment, no. Steam only.
Are Steam Deck or gamepads supported?
Yes! The game is playable on Steam Deck and with gamepads!
A word from the creator.
Hi! My name is Piotrek. About two years ago, I had a sleepless night - I just couldn't fall asleep, and I kept thinking about my life and the future - you know the drill, everyone has those sometimes. I always really really wanted to make a game on my own. It was my dream for many years. And that night, almost in a dream, the idea for Cropdeck appeared. I wrote it down as soon as possible to not forget about it. The idea of finally making something hit me hard.
Half a year later, I quit my job (yup, I did that - it's not a stunt!) and focused all my energy on this project. Before that, I was a programmer. I had a passion for art and music, but these were just my hobbies. So to make this project, I had to learn a ton. I decided that whatever happens, I will use Cropdeck to expand my skillset, which was a challenge in the age of AI.
Now, after two years of grind, I can proudly say that I am an indie game developer. As much as I was a solo dev, I have to thank a few people.
First - my lovely fiancée, Nat. I had an emotional crisis every week or two, and she kept supporting me. She also helped with brainstorming and creating lines for Sir Landlord!
Next, I want to thank my friends. And sorry I was not hopping on to play lately, I hope it will change! :D
Thanks to my gamedev friends! It's awesome to have your support and feedback.
Last, but not least, I want to thank the players, especially folks on my Discord. You are awesome!
I hope you will like the game!
May your fields be green, and your carrots crunchy,
– Piotrek
