Kickstarter Launch Date Update and Monthly Giveaway
FARM FOLKS KICKSTARTER LAUNCH UPDATE
Our team has been hard at work creating what we believe will be an amazing experience for everyone to enjoy. Progress is strong, and we're very pleased with it. We see that many of you are eager to support the project via our upcoming Kickstarter campaign, and we are truly grateful for your kindness and support. Your enthusiasm and love motivate us to work even harder.
We've got extensive experience in crowdfunding, having successfully helped fund over 20 indie gaming projects via Kickstarter. We know how this process works, and timing is crucial. Despite making strong development progress, we will miss an important summer Kickstarter window. Starting in August, the back-to-school season and winter holidays will bring major AAA releases that could overshadow our campaign. We’ve decided to delay our Kickstarter launch to ensure we deliver the best possible experience.
We're still working on a lot of foundational systems; there are many key game pillars that will hold the mechanics together, and we can't cut corners if we want our game to be great. We want to showcase these core mechanics in our trailer and avoid making promises we can't deliver.
We need a few extra months to get everything working as intended. With this in mind, we're aiming to push our Kickstarter launch to the end of January or the beginning of February, which means waiting an additional five months. This extra time will allow us to not only do a better job with the Kickstarter campaign but also prepare a demo for streamers and a game build for Alpha backers, likely available a month or two after the Kickstarter.
Even if we were to launch the Kickstarter campaign tomorrow, the Alpha wouldn't be ready until April. By delaying the launch, we ensure that the Alpha becomes available for backers shortly after the campaign, providing a more complete experience.
We hope for your understanding and support. Below you can find our roadmap. Until the Kickstarter, we will continue providing daily and monthly updates, though we might get a bit quiet as we approach the release.

NEW WEBSITE
Some of you may have noticed that we've also updated our game website, which now provides more details about what Farm Folks has to offer. As we've mentioned before, Farm Folks will deliver diverse experiences to cater to different playstyles. The game will feature detailed difficulty settings, allowing for a range of experiences. Whether you're a cozy player who prefers a relaxing, challenge-free environment, or a competitive player who thrives on the thrill of online PVPvPE challenges, there's something for everyone.
We want Farm Folks to become a massive platform offering diverse gameplay mechanics that simulate digital life experiences, which we will be able to continuously expand and add new content to on a regular basis. Farm Folks is not your regular farming game - it's so much more. We can't wait for you all to experience it, but first, we want to make sure the game is ready. We ask for your patience and understanding🩶.
Thank you,
- Crytivo Team
