First and foremost, thanks a lot to everyone for your great patience. This update has taken time to release as we re-designed the whole core of Farmtale. This is basically a "Farmtale 2" at this point.

changedFirst and foremost, thanks a lot to everyone for your great patience. This update has taken time to release as we re-designed the whole core of Farmtale. This is basically a "Farmtale 2" at this point. This was a necessary step we had to take in order to direct the game towards the better as it lacked content previously.
changedEnvironmentSandbox Building System After playing the released version of Farmtale, we thought it will be more fun and unique if the player starts with only the farm area without any buildings or animal farms. From here, the player must design his/her own farm and form a personal adventure. Now you can freely build and decorate your farm from nothing! Remember to post a screenshot of what you've created :-)
addedEnvironmentFree Camera Rotation You now have the freedom to move your camera and to different directions by using the [R] button or clicking CTRL + middle mouse button. This makes Farmtale feel like a new game! The main idea is that Farmtale will be a game without many restrictions.
addedEnvironmentDay & Night System We added a day and night system to Farmtale. You can purchase lighting from the shop to keep your farm bright.
addedEnvironmentNew Level Design We re-designed the whole level in Farmtale. We made it look more like a natural environment and you are able to unlock tools that will help you expand your building space. There is plenty of room for your farm decoration.
addedEnvironmentNew Models & Textures All the models in Farmtale have been re-modelled and re-textured. We wanted a more elevated look in the game, so we moved away from the completely flat modeling and texturing style. With that said, we've also added a lot of new models to the shop. You can freely place every item wherever you want.

Environment

Sandbox Building System After playing the released version of Farmtale, we thought it will be more fun and unique if the player starts with only the farm area without any buildings or animal farms. From here, the player must design his/her own farm and form a personal adventure. Now you can freely build and decorate your farm from nothing!

Free Camera Rotation You now have the freedom to move your camera and to different directions by using the [R] button or clicking CTRL + middle mouse button. This makes Farmtale feel like a new game! The main idea is that Farmtale will be a game without many restrictions.

Day & Night System We added a day and night system to Farmtale. You can purchase lighting from the shop to keep your farm bright.

New Level Design We re-designed the whole level in Farmtale. We made it look more like a natural environment and you are able to unlock tools that will help you expand your building space. There is plenty of room for your farm decoration.

New Models & Textures All the models in Farmtale have been re-modelled and re-textured. We wanted a more elevated look in the game, so we moved away from the completely flat modeling and texturing style. With that said, we've also added a lot of new models to the shop. You can freely place every item wherever you want.

New Material Generator Building The forge and lumber mill has been replaced by the Scrap Collector building. The building will automatically generate Material without a farmer and you can build multiple of them! And you don't even need additional pylons.

Animal Farms

Experience System Instead of making the experience bars purchasable through Coins and Material, we have added an experience system. Experience bars can no longer be purchased but you can earn experience as the collectable items drop from the animals. Just like an RPG game.

Max Level Change Max level has been changed from 100 to 50. The currency values and experience has been changed accordingly. It felt too much with 100 levels right from the beginning. We plan on extending the late-game levels with late-game content but this is still to be decided.

Backpack System The items you collect or purchase from the shops will be added into your backpack. You can sell the items by right-click or by dragging them into the new Marketplace. Or refine them into material through the new refine building we added.

Cooldown System When an animal drops an item, there will be a cooldown before the animal can begin dropping a new item. The drop times have been lowered too.

Purchasable Animals Animals will no longer spawn automatically through leveling. They can be purchased through the new Barn building we added.

Farm Stats Many from our community wished to see stats for their animal farms and this is now added to the game. For each farm, you can view how much experience an item gives, the
