Optimization

Fixed the occasional brief lag in the game. If you are still experiencing this issue, please leave a comment with your CPU, GPU, and RAM specifications. The lag that occurs when there are many animals in the ranch is still being resolved.

Improved convenience

Changed the UI so that you can purchase multiple items in the store in units of 10 or 100, not just 1. You can change the number by pressing the button with the mouse, or by using WASD based on the basic control keys.

Reduced difficulty

When you faint from hunger, you lose a fixed amount of money, which I judged to be a factor that greatly reduces motivation in the early stages of the game when you are not yet familiar with the game. To prevent this, you will now lose a certain percentage of your holdings, and an upper limit has been set. The percentage and upper limit vary depending on the difficulty and the year of the game. For example, in the Year 1 of the Managable difficulty, you will lose the smaller amount of 10% of Jelly or 1,000 Jelly. Below is an example based on the Managable difficulty, Year 1, and have 5,000 Jelly. Previous: 5,000 - 3,000 = 2,000 Jelly left Current: 5,000 * 90% = 4,500 Jelly left

Translation

Some texts that were translated by a translator have been replaced with texts translated by a localization company.

Discord

I plan to open a Discord server in November to smoothly receive users' opinions, bug reports, etc. It is also intended to create a space for users to communicate with each other. Once I create a Discord server, I will post it on the Steam store page.

New features

- You can buy drinks from vending machines.

Changes

- When you create a new game, after the intro ends, you start inside the house instead of the ranch. - You can go outside after picking up the bag inside the house.

Bug fixes

- Fixed not able to unlock new animal in the animal shop (Plucky) when you don't have certain amount of Jelly. - Fixed that villagers go to awkward locations right before moving to other locations. - Fixed that some villagers move to unintended locations. - Fixed that the actual number of materials needed and the number of hints don't match when opening a processing tool. - Fixed a typo where the price of a single lottery ticket at the general store (Brown) was 1,000 Jelly but was displayed as 10,000 Jelly. - Fixed that the game options didn't move when using the left-handed control keys. - Fixed the awkward image of the aquarium exit border. - Fixed that the shadow of the animal was drawn over the animal.

The first title of the Ninano series, the story of Green Ranch unfolds!

One day when you are tired of your work, you happen to see an advertisement. They want to find someone to run a ranch in a village. Tired of working overtime every day, you decide to quit and go to the ranch!

The key to this game is to soothe the tired mind by raising animals, and to enjoy interacting with the villagers and growing up.

Raising an Animal
When it's a baby animal, it grows into different individuals depending on what kind of food it eats. The items that you can get are different depending on the type of adult, and you need to take care of each animal continuously!

Food and Cooking
You have to eat food whenever you get hungry. If you don't eat, you'll collapse and wake up the next day. You can cook with various ingredients. Ingredients can be obtained by raising animals, buying them at shops in villages, or collecting them near mountains or rivers.

Fishing
Depending on the level of the fishing rod, the place where you fish, and the time, the fish you can catch changes. There are also some interesting fish that don't exist in reality. Catch over 80 kinds of fish!

Participation in the Festival
Various kinds of festivals and competitions are held every year in the village. There are cherry blossom viewing, fireworks, and horse racing competition, fishing competition, etc. Among them, the key is the Animal Contest, where people from nearby villages also participate. Let's raise animals to win the contest!

Communication with the Villagers
There are more than 30 residents living in the village. Some residents can meet only when certain conditions are met. There are 10 residents who can date and get married. If you want to be close or approach someone, talk to them and give them a gift!

There are many other contents waiting for you. Come to the ranch!
