Update #4 - More Grumpy Pig Fun! (video)
Just a quick status update from us this week! Andy is busy working on music and sound for the demo, this was put back by the death of a laptop (or it's instance of windows anyway) and the time taken to move everything to a new machine. But he's back up and running and has some go

Welcome to Pan Meals Galactic

We're gearing up for the next demo, which should be with us within the next week or so.
Last week we had a great session at the Steam Games Festival with some brilliant questions. Thanks for joining in!
Let's re-answer some of those questions here:
1. Why the move to 2D?
This was motivated by a number of issues:

While the projection was 3D for SF1, the gameplay took place on a 2D plane.
There's a lot of additional puzzle and action elements we can achieve in 2D
Very few of the mechanics couldn't be ported over to 2D
We have a great 2D artist who did the original Space Farmers 1 poster working with us
2. Will the Pig Return?
Yes! The pig will definitely return. Check out previous update for more information on that.
3. Will there be challenge rooms like the end of a SF1 run?
Absolutely, but we want to take this even further. I don't want to spoil it too much but we expect to have an announcement about that in the next few weeks once the next demo is released.
4. What will the story be for Space Farmers 2?
The story this time (although it's subject to change) is that the space farmers are stranded on the Giga-factory owned by the mega corporation "Pan Meals Galactic". This factory turns innocent vegetables into canned foods. Steve and Thomas, with their new friend Sim'n Cucumber, have decided to set them all free and escape the factory.
Throughout the factory you'll notice a number of "inspirational" corporate signage. Check out the examples below:
The head of the factory is The Great Leek who will be sending his masses of evil vegetables and robots against you.
Finally...
That's all for this week, stay tuned for the next update and (hopefully soon) demo!
As always please tell your friends, follow us on twitter, help us spread the word about the game. We appreciate all the help we can get!

Development Update #2 - Pig
Lately it's been about Pig. If you're a fan of Space Farmers 1 then you'll know that the pig was one of the primary mechanics we used. The pig is tough! The pig can block laser beams! The pig can block explosions! The pig can sit on buttons! All that is true in Space Farmers 2, b

RESCHEDULED!

"Well, in any case, you'd better show up to the festival."
We're part of the Steam Game Festival!
The Bumpkin Brothers will be holding a live chat about Space Farmers 2 during the Steam Games Festival!
Our rough agenda for this live stream is as follows:

A Live-stream of the demo whilst we discuss elements of the game we have so far.
A discussion about future developments and what direction we're taking the game in
A chat with YOU about what you think of the game so far and what ideas you have!
Hoping to see you then! Tell your friends, we want to involve everyone as much as possible.

Development Update #1 - The Refactor Tractor!
Starting the Refactor Tractor. Getting to a demo was actually a big feat for us. We had a lot of things we needed to cut (very slight) corners on. Therefore we're taking our first week or so afterwards to focus on a big cleanup operation. That means starting up the Refactor Tract

The Space Farmers 2 steam page & Demo are now active! I decided now would be a good time to tell you our future plans.
The Demo is now available
So, now you've played the demo- wait, you've not played it yet? What are you waiting for, please, go get it! Try it out!
We've taken a different approach this time around with the development. We're letting you in at the ground floor. We're hiding nothing, you get to see this game being made from the start!
Our aim is to release an updated demo as often as possible. This is so that we can get as much feedback as possible. The idea will be to have a standard "hey, this is the essence of Space Farmers" type level. Then additionally a level where we show some of the other things we're currently working on so you can let us know if you think it's cool or not.
The Development Plan
Rich is hard at work making continuous improvements to the demo at the moment. Our major focus is creating a stable foundation from which to build the remainder of the game.
Once we've hit the point when the core gameplay is stable we'll start adding new weapons and gadgets for players to mess around with. We want to bring back most, if not all, of the great stuff that was in the first game. Then we want to add a whole bunch of new things we've been planning.
At that point we'll be making further decisions on the level structure and story features. We've a rough idea of how this is going to pan out. I don't want to say too much yet before we've seen how things develop for a while.
We want your Demo/General Feedback
So how can you give us your feedback? We're happy to receive it the way you'd best like to deliver it. Whether that's via the Steam forums or via Twitter or Facebook. We're on all those platforms so just drop us a line.
Let us know what you think of the current demo, where you think we should take the game, what you'd like us to talk about in future and anything else about Space Farmers 2!
I'll be posting here as often as I can so stay tuned for future updates.
That's all for now. In summary please:
