I thought I'd give a little life update post-release and what plans I have for the game.

Personal life

As some of you may already know, I made this game in a record-breaking 6 months. Steam planned a farming festival for April 2024 and I knew that I had to release the game during that timeframe to increase the game's chances of success - luckily it paid off!

With that said, I pushed myself quite hard during those months. After the release, I fixed bugs for a month, I made a "Quality-of-Life" update, and then I decided to take it easy after that.

I spent time with friends and family, I went to different game conventions (Gamescom and Tokyo Games Show) and met with a bunch of you face-to-face. I had many great talks with other developers and I hope I was able to help provide some insight on what worked for me when making/selling games.

Lately though, I've been brainstorming new ideas for the game, and testing out a few of the new ideas.

New Winter Update! (work-in-progress)

That's right, I'm currently working on a new Winter update that will include a new snowy map, new crops, and a brand-new character. The current plan is to release this new update at the beginning of December so be on the lookout for more info!

I have other ideas for future updates but these still need to be explored and worked on. I need to see if they are viable and whether they fit with the rest of the game.

Thank you for everything!
