Progress during September
Oh boy, what a month, right?. After some very disturbing weeks early in September, courtesy of Unity, we could finally get back on track and continue working on new gameplay features and technical stuffs. But that was on the gameplay side, as progress on the more artistic portion of Farmwand kept going on without interruptions. What is coming to the game? What new things can we share? Let's find out what we've been working on during this past month!
There's tons of animals coming to Farmwand for you to raise and care for. From pigs to cows, to hens and ducks, there are all sorts of cute creatures that you can fill your farms with. But the world of Farmwand is full of magic and as such, there are plenty of magical creatures that may join your stables and coops. One such creature that we've been working on is the Plumpberry cow!
The Plumpberry cows, magical as they are, produce uniquely flavored milk and have a very curious, cheerful behavior. But animals are not the only thing we worked on during September.
We've also been working on plenty of decorations for the game, so that you can arrange your indoor and outdoor spaces to your heart's desire. While these are still a work in progress (since they still need a coat of paint and all their many variations to choose from), they are already looking quite cozy.
We have worked on Farmwand for almost two years, and during that time we have made quite a bit of tools, systems and other technical assets for the game that hold a lot of value. They are designed to ensure that the world of Farmwand can be big and full of life, and that it can be experienced at its very best on all sorts of devices. One of our biggest hopes is to see it at some point released on the Switch and other consoles. But a future Switch port requires our game to be playable on very low end devices. Because of that, we've been running a lot of stress tests for the vegetation, the landscapes, and recently, for the animals. HUNDREDS of animals. The results were...adorable.
And these tests ran at a consistent 30-40 FPS on an underpowered laptop with a core i5 6200U CPU (from 2015) running at 60% speed with an Intel HD 620 graphics card. PC was working in power saving mode. The system has 8Gb of RAM, but our early tests show that 4Gb should be enough. Things are looking brightly as we reach the next stages on the development of the game :) See you next time, and thanks for reading!

Hello Saeges!

Optimization, optimization and...oh yes, optimization

Fresh out of the Southern Wizarding Academy and finally ready to face the world, you build your own wand, prepare your robes and reach the land where you’ll settle. Some potatoes here, a few mushrooms there…some chickens maybe? A cat for sure...the necessary ingredients for a potion or two and the broom of course… it’s time to make this new land your home!
The world of Farmwand is a rich land inspired by classical fairy tales full of enchanted forests, potions brewing under the moonlight, towns buzzing with merchants and travelers, magical creatures both friendly and hostile, as well as mysteries to uncover under every rock and around every corner.
A living world where most characters have stories to tell and your actions can change the way people interact with you.
- Art Style : We are going for a unique children's storybook graphics style with original designs for all the creatures in the game.
- Farming : Dozens of crops, flowers and animals to harvest, garden and care for, with a deep and rewarding magically enhanced farming system that allows for endless surprises.
- Pets : There are all sorts of animals and magical creatures that can be kept as companions in our game. They can be trained, they can be fed, they can wear cute outfits and, of course, they can be hugged and petted!
- Characters & Relationships : All sorts of creatures & characters, magical and non-magical to interact with. Build friendships, rivalries, fall in love and be an ally or foe of both individuals and factions that you cross paths with during your adventure. Tons of characters are ready to meet you, all with their own stories, wants and needs.
- Customization : Both your character, your home and most of the accessories and items can be customized to your liking, so you can be who you wanna be.
- Magic : Dozens of spells and potions to discover and master over the course of your adventure, to use in inventive ways to solve puzzles, help (or annoy) the people in town and even mix them for unexpected results.
- Combat : The further away you get from home, the more dangerous and wild that the land will become. Grab your wand and some potions, make use of all your wits for there are foes in every corner, and with our real-time magical-based combat you have to be ready to face them all!
- Exploration : The world of Farmwand is vast and full of things to do. From mini-games all over town, special events and holidays, enchanted forests and dark caves and dungeons, you can see it all. If your destination is too far away, fly on your very own, customizable broom…but careful! They need to rest too!
- Crafting & Trading : Cut down some trees, mine, forage and gather resources to build new furniture, more efficient tools, powerful potions and so much more. Maybe bring them to the market, get a good bargain!
- A Deep Lore : A living world with its own culture, traditions, festivals and history to explore and take part of as the newest resident in town. Every faction and creature has more to them than it seems at first glance, and the most rewarding secrets await for the most curious of explorers!
- Co-op : Want some help and company in the new place ? Join a friend to water your crops or fight monsters together in local co-op.
- Original Soundtrack : The soundtrack of our game has been composed by Sean McRoberts, it currently has all the core tracks and we plan on expanding it!
