Update regarding our last Harvest Life announcement

Hi there!

As you may remember, we delightedly announced last time that we're planning on releasing new updates for Harvest Life. We wanted to treat both Harvest Life and our community to some extra TLC. Following up on that, many of you sent us a lot of feedback and quite a few requests, which went a long way in motivating us even more!

But, unfortunately, we have to tell you today that we won't be able to provide you with new updates at this stage. We're sorry to disappoint you. This was anything but an easy decision for us.
We had to consider several factors.
But the main reason is that we couldn't find a suitable team of developers to continue working on Harvest Life. We were very close to closing a deal with a motivated team, but we had to cancel it at the very last moment.
As you may imagine, the current Covid-19 situation doesn't exactly make it any easier to finalize such a project.

We really wanted to make another update for Harvest Life. But in the current situation it's just not possible. Many thanks to all you busy farmers out there. Your feedback and joyous anticipation were a great incentive to us.

If you're still looking for new worlds to discover and farm, we recommend our most recent release Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands. Discover a great mix of farming and adventure in a mysterious world that's becoming even more varied with each content update we publish.
As a little "thank you" for moving to the Cursed Islands we can make you a very special offer: As owners of Harvest Life you can buy Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands for the discounted "Farmer Bundle" price!

Just follow the link to jump straight into your next big adventure:


https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/4237/Farmer_Bundle/


Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm. We hope you'll still enjoy Harvest Life and/or take a trip to the Cursed Islands. In any case, we'll be here for you and listen!

Cheers,

your rokaplay team!

New Update v1.9.5



Now you can hire staff for different jobs on the farm and receive active support. You'll probably need the help, because new quests are waiting for you. Visit the blacksmith today and learn more about your first quest: the escort quest! Write us how you find the quest!

Our update comprises:
• Staff! For a certain amount of money per week you can hire employees that can either go fishing, fill troughs (includes henhouses), water and harvest fields (you still have to plant yourself!) or collect eggs, milk etc.
• Chests! You can now place chests in the farm editor and use them as storage anywhere and not worry about the items being sold.
• Escort-Quest! Check the smith from time to time to see if he has a quest for you, more quests like these will come in the future! Tell us what you think about them.
• Fence-gates will open and close automatically now when player or npcs walk through them. Don't worry about animals escaping anymore!
• Items in the shop will be sold faster now.


Bugfixes:
• Sometimes pigs couldn't be ridden.
• The progress- and daily-overview windows sometimes showed wrong portraits and amounts. The current day in your savegame could still show wrong stats, but they will be correct on the next day.
• Wells now work correctly as water source.
• Cabbage are correctly sold in the shop again.
• Sometimes animals wouldn't drink from the troughs even though they were thirsty.
• Russian localization and font fixes
• The generator isn't already upgraded on new savegames anymore (old savegames will still have it upgraded).

Significant Update v1.5.9 - We continue to harvest!




Dear farmers,
we want to continue working on our game in 2018. Therefore, we start the new year with a new update v1.5.9 that includes various improvements to enhance your farming. We keep rolling up our sleeves for the harvest, what about you guys? Have fun and thanks for all your feedback.

Our update comprises:

- Added more tutorial texts, hints and quest descriptions to help players when something new has to be taken care of
- New Animations
- New Quests
- Improved lighting (darker nights & overall enhanced quality)

- When you've already done the quests for today you won't receive the same quests again and your grandfather will tell you to come back tomorrow
- Plotting-Table scroll-speed decreased
- Actions are shown in red when you can't perform them (because of missing resources)

Bugfixes:
- Berry bushes again denied players to eat their berries, we told them that it's their job and they won't be paid if they won't do it. They are handing out berries now, again!
- You can no longer get stuck in chests
- Sometimes too many villagers spawned when leaving the forest
- Henhouses fulfill the "fill trough" quest now
