What to look for in July
🕑 Added 2021-07-01 19:22:46 +0000 UTCHere's an idea of what I hope to add to the game in July. Please know that I'm not committing to these updates, but am aiming to have them complete in July. Changes will happen on the Alpha game first and major things will then go into Beta on the live game during the month.
Ironworks
I'm sick of buying iron / nails at the country store, aren't you? So the Ironworks building addition will be somewhere around 2 million and produce Iron / Nails hourly. Costs will still have to be worked out.
Pig Pen
Not a terribly expensive addition, the Pig Pen will let you have pigs that you can feed your crops to. This will level them up, once they reach level 3 or 4 you can then convert the pig to bacon (I joke about a slaughter button). You lose the pig, but have quite a bit of bacon that you can sell (or use in the future cooking update).
Book System
There are 8 books you can get from Help Requests currently. They now display on your profile. So, what do they do? When you go to your Farmhouse they will also be displayed there (call it your bookshelf) and you can 'read' each book once per day for a special effect that will last X minutes/hours. Example: Read the 'Book of Maps' to get 2x Explore XP for an hour or read the 'Book of Plants' for a higher drop rate of plants (ferns, mushrooms, etc). If you sold a book, I'm planning to give you back 1 copy of the book automatically.
Horse Stable
This is a big one. I'd expect this one to cost 10 million Silver. I'm not entirely sure yet how I want you to get horses (buy/breed, etc), but once you have a horse you will feed it daily to level it up, but there's more than 1 level on horses. They will have levels in Speed, Stamina, Intelligence and Affection. Depending on what you feed the horse you might see speed go up, but stamina go down. Every crop will have a combo of what it helps/hurts when it comes to horses. Horses roll into another update down the road: Horse Races
Other possible things:
Quarry, Golden Seed Generator, Hay Field, Flour Mill, more QoL stuff, more achievements, more perks, more items, more crafting, more exploring, etc etc etc.
I'm excited, are you?
Comments
I was part of a game called Horse Racing Manager, I’m excited to see how this is brought in, but from experience there are lots of variables to think about with breeding etc (it’s almost it’s own game on its own). Glad to see all those options thought out and a Patreon team to help.
To make sure no one like keeps selling the book over and over again are you just gonna have the new copy not appear to be sold at the farmers market?
The horse update with having several attributes for each horse sets the stage perfectly for potential horse races in the future. Excited for July n all that it’ll bring to the game!
