Hi everyone, we are Family Devs, a father and son indie game developer.
With this devlog, number 12, we’d like to share the current progress of Harvest Days over the past few days and the exciting stuff to come.
It's been a few days since the Early Access release of Harvest Days: My Dream Farm. First of all, we wanted to thank all of you who have supported us.
We are currently working on improving the game controls. As a part of this we have reassigned the controls for gamepads. Also, all menus will close when pressing the ESC key or the B button for gamepads.
Previously troublesome screen resolutions should no longer cause any issues as we diligently have created a completely new UI.
In the settings menu we have added the option to invert the y and x axis and to control the volume of different sounds separately. This is something you have asked for often.
We have added several new crafting machinery, such as a furnace, a mayonnaise machine, and a cheese press, among others.
In addition to that, we are working on a SOS phone box that will allow you to request the help of a towing service. This way you will be able to retrieve your vehicle in case it gets stuck on land or underwater.
We are also pleased to announce that we are working on one of the Stretch Goals of our successful Kickstarter, the Mini Games. Here's a small preview... Kiko's Bar claw machine will be interactable and you will be able to get new plushies to decorate your home.
On the foraging side you will find new flowers, new mushrooms, and new wild fruits. During the seasons resources will be spawned in Duda's Village.
We've also made it possible to refill watering cans and wooden buckets at the river or the beach, as well as at your farm pond.
Ultimately adding to all the things mentioned above we have fixed many small bugs thanks to your feedback via our Discord and the Steam forums.
We will plow away and do our best for you. Thanks so much for helping us bring Duda's Village to life!
All these new features will be released in the next few days, with the release of the EA 0.5 update and subsequent updates.
Please remember, that as Family Devs we read and respond to any comments on the video on our channels, you’re invited to add or reply as well.
So far today's video and see you in the next video!
Talk soon!
