Hi everyone,
Thank you for all the incredible support you've shown the game during its first week of existence!
It's been a crazy week. I've had lots of support from all different corners of the world, including congratulation messages from Devolver, Among Us, and McDonalds lol
In one week, the community has achieved the following in-game milestones:
- Collectively, you have earned 105 BILLION Spare Parts and produced 52 BILLION Biofuel!
- You have also grown 5.4 billion giant pumpkins, 5 billion giant cucumbers, and 2.9 billion giant tomatoes. A lucky few have spawned over 4000 super rare GOLDEN PUMPKINS!
- Combined you've collected over 13.8 billion poop from animals.
- You've watered 44 billion crops and harvested 32 trillion crops.
- And spent over 21 billion on decorations for your farm!
I honestly wasn't expecting these numbers to hit billions, so you have no idea how proud this makes me!

(Update: Now 200,000 copies in 2 weeks!!)
This has honestly been a life-changing experience and I can't wait to continue development. I have a few quality-of-life features that I'd like to add and I'm also looking forward to expanding the game with more content.
Right now I'm focusing on fixing bugs as there are a few tough-to-crack cases with performance on big monitors, and now the sudden black screen bug (which can be fixed by following this guide).

Black screen fix! Go to Rusty's Retirement in your Steam library > Gear icon > Manage > Browser local files
Select Rusty's Retirement.exe > Right-click > Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab > check Disable fullscreen optimizations > you should be good to go!
We have uploaded the official soundtrack to Bandcamp and YouTube!
A few people have asked us if we could upload the official soundtrack for the game onto YouTube, we have also uploaded it to Bandcamp in case you'd like to support the composer as well.
And here is some cool stuff that people have sent me!
Thank you for all the kind words you've left on social media, in the reviews, and in the forums! I'm working as hard as I can to fix any remaining issues, and then I'll start on general gameplay improvements - thank you for being patient with me ːorange_heartː
