New Title
Pine Lily Village will now be called Seeds of Calamity! This is still the game you’ve always known but the story has been much improved so the title has changed to reflect that.
Major Demo Update
Of course, with the new story comes a demo update! There is a new opening cutscene and more fleshed out villager backstories (and a ton of bug fixes). Because of how many changes I’ve made, unfortunately you will not be able to use an old save
(sorry about that!)
What’s going on?!
So, you might be thinking: “These changes are great and all but what gives? You announce a publisher partnership and then next thing I know you’re changing the title of the game! Seems sus.”
I assure you, all of the changes to the game have been designed and executed by me. I had actually been considering changing the story of the game before I even met with a publisher and longtime followers will know that I’ve changed the story of the game a few times already. I’ve always loved the characters of the game but struggled with the world building.
So that’s what I’ve changed!
Seeds of Calamity is a JRPG inspired world full of heroes and magic. During a great war between nations, an all-powerful beast called the Great Calamity was summoned. It caused so much devastation, that the two waring nations agreed to a peace treaty. That was 20 years ago and now you are tasked with helping rebuild from that war.
You’ll send supplies back to the main city from your farm to help with the reconstruction efforts. Along the way, you’ll complete quests for the villagers, defeat dangerous creatures in the dungeon, and all other farming sim activities you’ve come to know and love.
I hope you enjoy the new and improved demo. As always, if you have any feedback for the game, feel free to post on the Steam forum or fill out the survey from the main menu of the demo. I read every post and really appreciate it. 😊
Finally, Seeds of Calamity will be participating in the Cozy Quest festival between November 14-17th. So if you’re looking for other great cozy games, stay tuned for tomorrow!
