Hello there guys, I am streaming now, and would love to see more of you guys following me on social media and/or Twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/rikaxnipah and https://twitter.com/RikaxNipah Still nothing new on Wild Season, so figured after such a long period of no updates....I'll just shill my socials.
The game is unfinished, buggy, and an overall mess. The devs have abandoned the project and have not updated it in forever. Go play Stardew Valley instead as it is worth your money and will have multiplayer down the road. http://store.steampowered.com/app/413150/Stardew_Valley/ I also suggest http://store.steampowered.com/app/432010/Worlds_Dawn/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/786580/Gleaner_Heights/

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME any new users reading this. Game's unfinished, buggy, and broken. Devs have abandoned it. I am Rika, one of the moderators and community managers for Quickfire Games. I have been a part of staff since at least 2015 and a year or so ago the dev team just fell off the face of the earth. I am a remote volunteer staff member, so never had to report to the office or anything. I am uncertain what's going on with the game's status aside from what was said to me in Twitter DMs back in October 2017 by the CEO of the studio. The CEO of Quickfire Games, Sharan, is supposed to make an official announcement next week about the status of the game, the future, etc. So stay tuned! Rika
hi there! Rika here with some small update for you guys. Well, not an update to the game's files or anything....but... here's the news I got from the forums on here! There will be an update reportedly coming soon according to the CEO and founder of Quickfire Games. https://twitter.com/sbalani/status/903134328846114817 A user tweeted him and asked what the heck was up, and this was the response. We shall see, guys. I've been so out of the loop as everybody else has too.... Follow that Twitter account and DM him to get more information if you really want to see the game come back to life. I have zero control over anything but the forums and posting news and announcements.

We are currently transitioning development teams, and don't want to provide any updates until things are finalized as things are currently constantly changing. But we're adjusting things to reposition ourselves appropriately to finish the game. I know it's frustrating but we'd rather give a proper "set" update rather than constantly changing back and forth. It may take til after the holiday season to post an update about the changes. Sorry again for the lack of any updates for the past 6-7 months. Expect one to hit after December. Happy Holidays & A Happy New Year!

HOW WE’RE DOING
Hey y’all! Apologies for the slight delay, as we had a lot of team meetings to do--but it’s time for the first of our March community updates, and boy, do we have good news! For the past couple of months, we’ve been focused on doing bug fixes for Episode 1, and while we know there are still a bunch of bugs to get rid of, we also acknowledge that we have to keep moving forward as well. So as of today, we’re announcing that we are focusing on the production of Wild Season Episode 2! Don’t worry though--bug fixing is still a major priority for us, and it’ll be going hand-in-hand with what we’re doing for Episode 2. All this means is that you can expect to hear even more about what the dev team is doing! Their first update for you is that the devs are working on implementing cozy chibi outfits for Winter, so expect to see some hot--or maybe just warm--new looks for everyone when the snowy season hits ;)
WILD SEASON DEV BUILD TESTERS!
As mentioned in yesterday’s build update, we’re now opening our doors to Dev Build Testers for Wild Season! Check out the details below: Who is eligible to join? Anyone who currently owns a copy of Wild Season. What’s in it for the testers? This is a volunteer position, and as such, players who sign up to be testers will not be paid. However, you guys will be able to test out new features of Wild Season before the general public does, and learn how professional game testers work! (Disclaimer: There is a chance that playing the dev builds as a tester will cause your current save files for Wild Season to become lost or corrupted, but it’s just part of the job!) Why become a tester? Aside from being short on machines and manpower, we’d like to show everyone that the game dev industry is not all fun and, well, games! There’s a lot of hard work to be done and a lot of factors to consider. If you’re thinking of taking a career path in the game industry, or just genuinely curious or passionate about games, this is a great chance for you to learn--and you’ll be a huge help to us as well! How do I sign up? Just email Mads at support@quickfire-games.com to get started!
THE RETURN OF THE PODCAST?
We’ve decided to shake up our usual Wild Season podcast format; rather than livestream sessions on Twitch, we’re switching over to vlog-style video content which we’ll be uploading directly to our YouTube channel! (https://www.youtube.com/user/quickfiregamesstudio) We’ll be doing features on the various characters and aspects of the game like before, and also making a new series of videos called “A Day in the Life,” about what it’s like for each of us working at Quickfire Games. Expect to see the first of our brand-spanking-new videos sometime in the near future! Is there anything you’d like to see us talk about or feature in one of our videos? Feel free to leave us a comment and let us know!

We’ll be posting fun facts about your favorite Bedford Valley residents on our Twitter and Tumblr, starting real soon, so stay tuned!
Hiya, folks! We hope you’ve been enjoying the start of Spring, and that you’re looking forward to celebrating a happy Valentine’s Day with the people you love (yourself included)! Now, it’s time for our bimonthly community update, so let’s get right to it!
What We’ve Been Up To
We’re aware of the persisting bugs that exist in the current build of the game, especially: the glitching NPC sprites; the money issue, where money is either not enough to buy an item or does not get deducted after a purchase; broken NPC schedules, and broken shops and shopkeepers. Rest assured that the devs are working hard to fix them! Again, if you find any more bugs, please don’t hesitate to let us know about them at http://wildseasonthegame.com/feedback.html! Now, while some of you have said that you’re enjoying the sounds of Bedford Valley, we also know that a lot of you find the background music repetitive. We hear you loud and clear, so we’ve also been working on some new music for y’all. Look forward to listening to some fresh tunes while you’re farming and exploring the town in future updates!
Humble Bundle Update
Some of you have kindly reminded us that our build on Humble Bundle hasn’t been updated in awhile; we apologize for the inconvenience! Thankfully, Humble Bundle has finally given us access to an automated Dashboard, which will allow us to upload new builds ourselves. Expect to see more frequent build updates there, in addition to the ones we’re already putting on Steam! We’re excited to bring Wild Season to as many different online stores as possible, so we can share and make our game more accessible to you.
Live Q&A Session on Twitch
We’re officially announcing our upcoming Q&A livestream session on Twitch, which will be happening on February 16, 2016 at 7:00 PM CST. Tune in to http://www.twitch.tv/quickfiregamesstudio/ and ask us anything you want to know about Wild Season or Quickfire Games! From February 10 to 15, we’ll also be taking your questions at support@quickfire-games.com; just email them in with “Twitch Stream Q&A” in the subject line, and we might read and answer them during our stream. Looking forward to hearing from you guys!
Hey there, old sports! First things first: we are happy to announce that from now on, we’ll be giving you guys a regular community update at LEAST twice every month. We know we were quiet for a long time especially over the holidays, and we made a lot of you confused as you waited to hear from us. This is our promise to you that we are committed to not letting that happen again, and to being more transparent with you guys, our beloved community. So now, regardless of whether we have a new build release for you or not, we’ll be letting you know what we’re up to as we continue to work on Wild Season. Look out for a new community update from us every second and fourth Wednesday of the month! And now, on to our updates! Known bugs in Wild Season V1.0.1.4 We’ve received a couple more bug reports since releasing V1.0.1.4, so we’ve compiled an updated list below: - Repeating story and events dialogues - Some testimonials are not being recorded properly in the notebook - The fishing pole bug - A delay in round 2 at the dog race - Glitching / stuck NPCs As always, if you find any new bugs that aren’t on this list, please let us know at http://wildseasonthegame.com/feedback.html so our devs can get right on fixing them. Our limited number of machines limits our bug testing abilities so your help is greatly appreciated! Key distribution We’re happy to say that as of this update, we’ve replied to everyone who messaged us on Kickstarter about not getting their game keys so far. If you still haven’t gotten yours, please don’t hesitate to let us know via Kickstarter message! Please also let us know specifically whether you would like a Steam or a Humble Bundle key, and provide the email address you used to back us so that it’s easier for us to look for you in our records. Backer rewards Some of you have been asking about the higher-tier backer rewards, such as the postcards and the special limited edition artwork. Please know that we definitely have not forgotten about you; we’ve all just been lasers-focused on the game itself, our artists included. We will be getting your other rewards out to you as soon as we can, so please bear with us! For the artwork that will go on the postcards and the limited edition signed print, we will be making a poll soon and sending it out to all backers from the tiers with these rewards, so you can vote directly on what you want. We’re also open to suggestions from you guys on what art you want, since the rewards are for you after all! Community managers As part of our endeavor to be more transparent with our community, we’d like to officially introduce our five volunteer community managers to you; Madduday, Kasuga Jiyo, Rika, GilesGirl525, and our newest addition to the team, Kouiji, are here to serve you on the Steam forums! :) Expect to see them around on discussions and updates about the game! In line with this, our community managers would also like to be able to better reach our fans around the world. Just as an informal survey, what languages, aside from English, would you like our game and support/updates to be in? That’s all for now, folks; until our next update! Thanks for reading!
Howdy folks, We know we’re a little late, but Happy New Year! We know we’ve been quiet since we released Episode 1, and we’re sorry to have kept you all waiting. But we’re back and working hard as ever on improving Episode 1, as well as working on some other things that we know you’ll be happy to hear about! So onwards with the game update--
Wild Season v1.0.1.4
Unfortunately the release of Episode 1 was less stellar than we expected, with a lot more problems than we would have liked. Due to this, over the Christmas break our awesome developers did a lot of refactoring and optimising the code and structure of the game. That means the game should be considerably more stable, and most of the niggling issues are now fixed. Some of the rewritten items that should now work flawlessly (at least they do so in testing) are:
- Fixed some NPC (non-playable characters) schedules
- Fixed farming tutorial bug where user cannot progress if they decide to pick up the weeds
- Fixed animal movements
- Fixed barn and coop animal information
- Fixed storage (chest, bin, freezer) visual problem, where items suddenly disappear when being stored
- Fixed map loop in mine area
- Fixed Edward part during Summer investigations
- Repeating story and events dialogues
- Some testimonials are not being recorded properly in the notebook
- The fishing pole bug
- A delay in round 2 at the dog race
- Pesky tutorial bug
Why the refactoring?
The refactoring was also important for our plans moving forward. Although we’re eager to launch Episode 2, it was imperative for us to make sure that what we had released was stable before continuing. We also took the opportunity in the refactor to optimize the game for other platforms, including mobile. We’re not making any promises yet, but if all goes smoothly we’ll be able to begin releasing on other platforms soon. HOWEVER, in the event that anything goes wrong or requires significant attention, the releases to other platforms will be shelved in favor of completing Episode 2, as that is our present priority. Having said that, we’re hopeful that the extra time we took to improve the structural integrity of the game will pay off, allowing us to bring the game to mobile with little effort. So fingers crossed!
Calling the cavalry
Finally, with the effort to try and speed things along, we’re officially going to be opening up a call for volunteers on various fronts, including development, engine/tools development, voice acting, translation/localization, mobile porting in Unity, and story encoders. While we have enough money to finish the game, there is still a lot of work to be done. We understand that a lot of you are starting to get impatient, and scaling up at this stage is something we just can’t afford. :( We know that many of you have been here for us from the beginning, and love Wild Season as much as we do and want to see it finished, and that is why we are asking for your kind assistance so that we can make it happen. On that note, we know that beggars can’t be choosers, but in the interest of avoiding delays and giving you guys the best quality game possible, we’re only looking for volunteers who have real commitment and a solid background in the field they’re volunteering for. All volunteers should be prepared to submit a portfolio or examples of their work in their chosen field, and should be willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement. While most of the positions are self-explanatory, the story encoder position requires some basic storytelling/game design background, as the volunteers will not only be copying the script into the game, but also blocking out the character movements. As such, understanding basic storytelling and visual implementation is necessary. More complete guidelines and details on how to sign up as a volunteer to follow! For now, you can keep watching our Facebook page and our Twitter account. For any concerns, as always you can send an email anytime! That’s all for now, but we will try to update you guys again really soon. Until then, we hope you enjoy the latest build of Wild Season!
Many of you are probably wondering…what’s going on? What is episode 1? Why is this happening and where is the rest of the game? After much, much, much…and much more deliberation we’ve decided to switch over to an episodic approach, for reasons we’ll do best to explain further: As many of you have seen we’ve been doing our best to deliver what we hope is an awesome game. Unfortunately it’s also taken us much…much…much longer to do so. After almost x years, almost two complete re-designs, and a whole lot of bug bashing. We finally have something we’re happy enough to launch. BEFORE ANYTHING, LET'S BREAK DOWN THE PRICE AND STRUCTURE - All existing customers and kickstarter backers have already purchased the full game! This means you will have all 4 episodes. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO PURHCASE ANYTHING MORE! NEW EPISODES WILL BE ADDED FREE AS THEY ARE RELEASED. – The original base content will be split into 4 episodes. Each being between 3-5 seasons (based on story) – Episode 1 will include what has already been available for early access, with some extra bits thrown in, and as much polish & QA as we could throw at it. Therefore its as stable as we’re able to make it, and all the bits that were missing to complete the experience are now there. – Although we have more content it’s been held back as it wasn’t QA’d properly yet, and the cliffhanger you’ll experience at the end of episode 1 well…its pretty awesome! – Each episode will be 4.99 except the first episode which will be 16.99 (While the first episode only contains a fourth of the story, it does also contain the bulk of hte features. Each new episode will add a few new features and build on existing ones in addition to story, but the bulk of it is in episode 1) THE EPISODIC APPROACH So let us explain what’s going on with the episodic approach. As mentioned previously, working on the game has taken considerably longer than planned. Much of it has been due to our Kickstarter backer and early access program. While providing incredible amounts of insight and data, it has also acted as a double-edged sword. With valuable insight often comes the need to make adjustments. Especially if that feedback indicates that work needs to be redone. In our commitment to try to create the best experience, we were unsatisfied with our inability to please our consumers and fans, and opted to continue working on the game till we did. Which we did (we think/hope). Unfortunately this meant that everything would take longer and of course cost more, leaving us with a few issues: Having already completed and polished a good portion of the first part of our game we’ve seen a lot of fans trying to play thru this content and having issues due to our unfinished QA The extra time taking to re do & polish things is costing a lot more than we anticipated So we decided that an episodic approach (at least for PC/Mac & Linux) would work best. This allows us to: Put a stamp of completion/guarantee on the already finished & polished content and make it available to fans who are itching to play, knowing their save files will be relatively safe. Give us the promotion and sales we need from people waiting for the game to be completed to help offset the added cost of extended development. Being completely honest and transparent, getting to this point has left us in a financial pickle! We are exploring some further financing options, but there’s nothing like having good sales numbers to help things along! (And it’s particularly enticing for investors.) I know for some of you it’s going to be disappointing, but we’ve been doing our best to keep the community informed, be regular with updates and so on, and we hope we’ve built up enough good will to show you all our commitment to delivering a truly fantastic experience. But Gamedev is hard. It’s very hard, and all the more so when it’s a business. We hope you all enjoy what we have so far! And if you can afford it! Please get the full game package to get all 4 episodes (and to help us along!) SO HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MORE CONTENT? TLDR = most of the time was spent building features & tools. Most of the story was encoded in the last few months. Game is almost feature complete, except for some testing. Only thing left is story encoding (and voice acting + localization), so unless we hit any major issues expect a couple of months between episodes. Less if we can earn enough to improve our hardware and get more encoders) LONG VERSION As part of the problems that arose in causing us to be so delayed was the need to build a content creation engine. Typically in smaller games, a lot of dialogue and other interactive/story content are often hard coded into the game by the developers. Especially when small teams or individuals are working on something. We realized early on that this would not work, and we needed to have tools for our game designers to manipulate themselves. Although the engine we use has a lot of this capacity built in, it had to be tweaked, modified and extended. Finally after almost a year of splitting the dev team between tools development & feature development it was done. From there it actually took the design team no more than 2-3 months to encode the first year of content. That includes a learning curve, re-do’s and adjustments to tools, and hardware issues. This means that all that’s left to do, is QA features that were not included in the release due to time and the fact that they are not available in the released content and just sit and encode the script using said tools (of course we also have voice acting & localization planned but those will be free updates when available) We hope you guys enjoy, looking forward to see what you think about the end of episode 1 – It’s a doozy! TO OUR BACKERS AND THOSE WHO ALREADY PURCHASED THE FULL GAME You will have all 4 episodes. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO PURHCASE ANYTHING MORE! NEW EPISODES WILL BE ADDED FREE AS THEY ARE RELEASED.

Except you almost immediately get caught in a bad storm, total your car, and are now stuck in a foreign town with some of the strangest people you've ever met. Even worse, the before-thought beautiful farm is in severe disrepair and, according to the townsfolk, was never for sale in the first place! You now find yourself in a seemingly hostile town where one mystery seems to just stack on another...
Only one thing's for sure: the town is hiding something.
