Hello everyone. Today I wanted to announce our free demo, the release date, and show you all 3 new skills and worker customisation!
Free Demo
The game will have a demo that is starting during the Steam Next Fest on February 5th! This demo will be available until the game releases.
What's in the demo?
Every skill! The demo features everything the game has to offer until you reach level 30 in your skills. Once you have reached level 30, you can no longer level up skills until you get the full version of the game. This means some content above those levels will not be available.
I hope you all enjoy the demo. Any feedback is much appreciated!
Release Date
Let us talk about the release date. It is already shown on the store page but for anyone who missed it, Idle Fields is launching on February 20th. This means you will not have to wait long between the demo and the full version!
What's New?
A lot has happened since the last post. The remaining 3 skills have been introduced, a tutorial has been made, the flying bird event has been added, workers can now be customised, and much more!
Skill - Woodcutting
Woodcutting is a new skill that allows you to travel to the forest and cut different types of trees. There are currently 4 types of trees: Oak, Birch, Pine, and Maple. You can purchase workers to help you cut down all the trees!
Skill - Construction
Construction is a new skill that will give you the ability to turn logs into planks. These planks can be used to decorate your barn! Construction workers are purchased in the forest and the barn can be accessed from the farm by interacting with the door. In there, you can decorate your home as much as you want! Levelling up construction gives you more building options.
For the barn, we plan on introducing more decorative options in the future such as wallpaper, and floor tiles.
Skill - Cooking
Cooking will give you the opportunity to turn raw products into cooked variants which are sold for me. We plan on adding more cooking items in future updates. To cook, go up to a fire in the fishing area and select a recipe. If you have the resources, the item will start to cook. Make sure to collect it before it burns! Workers can also become chefs but may not be very skilled at cooking newly learned recipes.
Worker Customisation
You can now unlock outfits for your workers! There is currently 16 items to give to your workers. You can mix and match these however you like!
Bonus
I could not post an update without a little bonus image so enjoy the frog!
There is a lot more new and exciting parts to the game. I cannot wait for you all to try it out in the demo!
Thank you,
