Goodbye 2024, hello 2025!

23. dec. 2024

Hello dear Saeges!

The holidays are coming and we hope you are ready to enjoy a well deserved break! You made it throught another year and we are so proud of you! (...and of ourselves too, yay :D)

Eat some delicious meals, take long naps, play all the games you couldn't during the year (there were so many great ones!), but most of all just enjoy everything that makes you feel cozy and relaxed 😊.

A look back and a look ahead

This year was particularly hard for us, with many health (cough~ cough~ dang it COVID, cough cough~), work and personal issues happening almost every month. The most recent one being gas leak just a couple of weeks ago. Even though calling the fire department is something I never imagined I'd have to do, at this point ending such an eventful year with a firetruck outside our home seemed...almost funnily appropriate.

But we're ok, don't worry! It ended up being just a small scare :)

And despite all the moments like this, there have been tons of nice things this year as well ❤

Farmwand has gotten almost 4000 new wishlists this year (hooray!). A fair bit of them came from the coverage we got from a few wonderful cozy influencers, like Sarah Sunstone and The Cozy Gaming Club.

Many more came from the customization demo we released in June. We were SO NERVOUS and then SO HAPPY to share with you a small bit of what we'd been working on, to give you a small taste of what Farmwand is shaping up to be. If you played it we hope you had a lot of fun, but if you missed it don't worry, a bigger Farmwand demo packed with a whole lot gameplay will come next year! :D

And, if everything goes according to plan, our Early Access will be coming too.

We also made lots of progress in building the world by adding many new areas, biomes, and creatures.

Lots, and lots of things...

But there were also TONS, and TONS of big improvements to the code-portion and gameplay of the game. We implemented co-op gameplay, spells, a brand new UI...

And we added some brand-new upscaling algorithms (like FSR 3 to get smooth framerates in old and low-end graphics cards), improving all the saving and loading setups and a lot of work for the Weather sims, AI (the good, ol-fashioned kind, the one that controls our NPCs!), rendering and more.

All the feedback, encouragement and support we've received really helps and motivates us so much to keep improving our game. It makes all the struggles worth it, and has helped us achieve results that we didn't think were possible for our tiny team of two!

A last thing...🎁

It is almost Christmas and we wanted to give you all something nice that you can actually use. So we decided to release on our Patreon a little set of printable Christmas gift-tags!

It is available to all of our Patreons (no need to pay, you can join for free!) so you can head there and download them right now :)

The printable gift-tags, in PDF format, on our Patreon.[www.patreon.com]

Thank you for believing in us and believing in Farmwand. We're working really hard to bring you the best version of our project, as hard as we both can, feeling super thankful every day for being able to share with you this journey.

You are truly an amazing community. Thank you for your support, we can't wait to see you next year!

Happy holidays, and a great 2025 to all of you!

October progress...

6. nov. 2024

Hello Saeges!

Another month has passed...and it was a busy one!

It has been three years since we began making Farmwand, and while there is still a lot of work ahead, we've still made lots of progress. To celebrate this anniversary, we decided to share a small video showcasing some of the spookier corners of the world of our game. Watch it right here...if you dare!

(TW: Spiders. Cute but BIG spiders)

Over the last month we've been working very hard adding lots of new things to the game, including major improvements to our spellcasting system so that it can be a lot more dynamic, targeting can be a lot smoother (and easier to use for players of all skill levels) and...well, a lot more fun!

We've been working on lots of new designs for creatures that you will encounter over the new areas we are adding to the game, such as forest trolls, goblins and more

We've also been polishing a lot how co-op works in the game, making progress in the way the two characters interact and how the camera reacts to their movements. Couch co-op is something we love in games, and thus is something we want to prioritize for Farmwand and to have ready if possible for the demo itself.

Beyond this, we've also been working on some of our old models to give them some much needed upgrades, such as the mines and rocks (as they will be super important for all the caves and dungeons you'll find in your adventures)

There are so many new areas we're working on at this moment. New sections of Lunahweld town, with its houses, markets and Great Library. Little villages in the middle of nowhere. Foggy swamps, snowy mountains, far away ruins and all sorts of burrows and hideouts for the many creatures that live in the world. Hundreds, and hundreds of models. Tons of sounds. Mountains of work.

But it is all coming along quite nicely! :D

We can't wait to show you more about all the new areas coming to the game, but that will need to wait...until next time!

Making progress. An August-September update!

2. okt. 2024

Hello Saeges!

What an eventful couple of months! Where to begin?

August was a month full of lots of work and progress for the development of the game, despite starting slow as we still recovered from our flu which was a bit more complicated than expected. It was followed by a September that took off with some personal issues that took some time to solve, a small break for our own mental health afterwards, and then back to work. Still, despite the obstacles and less than ideal circumstances we managed to make important progress towards Demo 2 and what will become the Early Access, so let's dive into the new things coming to Farmwand!

The great outdoors.

A very important part of the experience we want to create is that sense of awe you get when exploring a brand new place, finding its secrets and uncovering deep lore behind it. An encounter with mysterious creatures, a sighting of wild animals, a gorgeous landscape...there are so many things we want you all to see!

But they require a lot of work, both technical and art-wise. During the past months we've been working on lots of new models for the different places you will visit. From new trees to fill our forests and new kinds of grasses and weeds, mushrooms and rocks to scatter over the land, to new shaders for water bodies and many improvements to our custom renderer to achieve further viewing distances with the same performance.

We've been also improving the way plants react to the motion of both the player and the many critters that populate the world:

And through all the work we are doing with the landscapes (including adding some really needed verticality to the world) there are already some moments of pure wonder to be had!

Working on those creatures

We've also started working on some new creatures for the many locations you will find, as well as their different homes and "lairs". If you are afraid of spiders, this is your last chance to turn back! Tho, these ones are kind of cute...

Improvements to the Farm

And finally, we've been working on a lot of improvements around the farming part of "Farmwand". The AI for the little animals is being developed, we are adding lots of easy to understand popups and icons to know when they need to sleep, eat or when they have something ready to gather...

But also little QoL details around the crops so that you can, for example, know exactly what you planted and where:

But these are only the things we can show. A lot more has been going on behind the scenes. The spells system is coming along nicely, crafting has been fully revamped so that its internal code can be used for cooking, brewing potions and a lot more...

And Lunahweld Town is taking shape as we speak, with some of the nicest looking spots we have for the game. Lots of things to be excited about as development moves on :D

misc

terrible to use ls instead of dpad to change things in settings. keep ls if you want, but at least make sure it can be done with dpad. that applies to character creation questions and presumably every choice/menu navigation thing in the game, but worst offender is settings as sticks tend to move in 2 directions at the same time. sound - for some strange reason, when i save on the setting page, exit and re-enter settings, the music vol and general vol goes to 0....
