New Zone – Desert
We have prepare a new sandy zone for you with new adventures, challenges and of course more trash to clean and recycle! You will need to repair broken pipes, refill water reservoirs, plant new bushes and release the water from the damn to get by boat to final destination - sunken city.
You can check few zone shots below:
New NPC – Designer
We have made a new NPC to help you and guide you across the desert. She will also have a lot of cosmetic items for you to craft and place in your cozy home!
New farm animal – Goat
Goats are stuck in dry dirt and require your hosing skills to release them from their traps! They are a great farm companions and produce goat milk that can be turned into goat chesee!

Those extremely cute foxes will need you to help them find their home under tons of trash and clean their habitat.
New Structures
We have also prepared few new structures and structure upgrades.
Greenhouse that will be used to farm most exotic plants.
Oil Press, New Lamma house model, Coweshed lvl 3 and Coop lvl 3
New plants and produce
As always we have also prepared new plants and produce for your farm and greenhouse:
Watermelon, Cranberry, Olive, Olive Oil, Goat Milk and Goat Cheese
When will you launch Full Release Patch?
We have pushed Full Release to February 2022.
This has been a crazy year of us in terms of how much we had to learn and do to finish this game and we feel that those 2 extra months will have a really big impact on overall polish of the game.
So far for the last year main focus was a production of new content. We should have reduced the scope earlier and work more on improving already published content but this is our first project ever and we didn't know yet how to properly estimate the content. We really wanted to bring you as much as we could. Now as we are just about to finish all core game content we can finally start working on improving all game aspects and bringing new exciting features!
So what's next?
What's coming up next in January?
As we are now getting finished with all the must-have core content that we wanted to include in the game in terms of npc, items animals and zones together with sunken city (although it wont be released until full release patch) we can shift our focus to improving the whole game.
As mentioned in earlier announcements main focus now is:
Major rework of quests and content on all zones.
Major optimization update.
Introducing story and dialogues (everything related to story in the moment is a placeholder)
Major Economy rework (at the moment all costs are placeholders)
New features
We are now basically fixing whole game from the very first minute of gameplay, through all the zones, quests, trash, materials, crafting and blueprint costs.
We are also rewriting whole story and it should be finished next week to implement into game.
You can expect an engaging main story that will push you forward on your adventure, some mysteries, a bit of drama and even unexpected plot twist!
New features for January:
Oh boy we can't wait for January to share those new features with you.
We decided to make some spoilers right now so you can know what else is coming your way ;)
Controller Support
We are working on it right now and it should be available for full release
Language Editions
So far we can confirm that game will launch in:
French, German, Spanish, Polish and Simplified Chineese
We are also working on Russian and Portuguese but they will most probably launch 1-2 months later.
World Map
We are now finishing working on in game world map that will track your position, major npc, points of interests and quests. You can check out work in progress below:
Save games
You will be able to go to menu and save game without going to bed. Our game world is already huge and although fast travel helped we fell it wasn't enough.
Once you open menu you will be able to save game that will finish your day and transport you back to home. We hope it will greatly improve your exploration experience.
Food Perks
Food will give you useful buffs such as sprint, more damage against trash and enemies and some wacky abilities such as super saiyan chickens. We really wanted to make food more useful outside of bigger Jars gain and we hope that you will enjoy its new benefits.
Naming Pets and Pet happiness
We have introduced pet happiness to game, the bigger happiness the bigger chance for more rewards. You will be also able to name all your animals and keep track of their happiness level.
Hats for Pets
You will be able to dress farm animals in fancy hats and cloths. How else can you send them to pet parties if not properly dressed?
Pet Parties
We are adding to lvl 3 coop and lvl 3 cowshed pet party equipment that you will be bale to use to make awesome pet celebrations. Chickens will get funky discos, cows foam parties and pigs beach parties with beach balls. They are now heavy under development but you can check out some WIP dances below!
Furniture and Cosmetic Items
We are working on tons of new furniture and cosmetic items. Check out just a few for Japanese Set and garden items:
Stickers
Stickers system will be a big part of the game and will reward you for all your game achievements. Once you complete certain goals such as preparing certain amount of meals you will be rewarded with sticker. Once you gather all stickers from a category you will get special reward and achievement poster to hang in game! Oh and did we mention how wholesome they are?
Loading Screens
Last but not least we are working on new loading screens. Check out the cutest art that we are preparing for those and we hope that each one of them will make you smile and compensate any loading time!
Thats it for today! Thank you for reading and see you in 3 weeks with next major patch!
