Hi Everyone,
Happy New year and I hope everyone is safe & well.
It has been a very long time since I done any work on the game or put out an update. I have been taking this time to reflect on the vision I had when I switched the development from web based to this format.
A lot of people close to me said a lot of things and the one thing that stand out on what they said is : "Your game is going to get boring after a while and people will lose interest in the game doing the same repetitive things like clicking & milking. You need to the make the game more alive, more interactive and fun. Not a daunting task clicking buttons to milk cows day in and day out."
Taking on that feedback, that what I have been trying to do this since October 2023 with version: 0.2.0, to rebuild the game from scratch and take it in a different direction. The game focus is not to be a 2D clicker game anymore, but a game that you move around in a very huge world, build a dairy farm, walk in paddocks, build a big town, clean up the environment by collecting milk bottles, go on adventures, make friends, find love and have children and much more.
Please note that 0.2.0 is very small stepping stone and that I have a lot of work ahead for me in 2024 to flesh out the game further so please be patient. But your feedback in the forum will also be useful with development for ideas and bug reports. You will find also that I will be posting more builds in the BETA channel before it goes to the main branch so keep an eye out for that if you want the latest builds you want to test.
Also see if you can find and collect all 1,000 milk bottles in the game.
So enjoy and until next time.
if you haven't already got Dairy Farm Simulator on Early Access yet, you can buy it right now here on Steam. You can get it now or wait for the seasonal / custom discounts to come out.
Kind Regards,
Patrick
