The Ranchers DevUpdate - August 2024
This new update brought the biggest zone in The Ranchers open world, the city center. The city center is designed as the bustling heart of Sunvale's city, characterized by a vibrant mix of modern and traditional architecture that reflects The Ranchers unique art style. You can explore a variety of urban environments, from busy commercial streets lined with shops to serene parks and public spaces. Lets take you for a ride: [previewyoutube=SMoqdX-m9wE;full][/previewyoutube] The city center features a lot of iconics buildings, that you can explore, Lets start with the first ones:
The city hall is where you can find Victor, the mayor and Meriam the city architect. Its also a great place to meet other characters, make deals with the city, buy new lands and sophisticated building blueprints for your ranch. Let take a look: [previewyoutube=1HuBWvQsm7g;full][/previewyoutube]
Leafy Market is Sunvale City's top grocery chain, offering fresh produce, seeds, and farming supplies. Known for supporting local agriculture, it's the go-to spot for both daily essentials and farming needs, ensuring quality for all customers. There are many of them scattered around the city center.
Versatile Motors is Sunvale City's leading utility vehicle supplier, offering a wide range of vans, pickups, and three-wheeled vehicles. Trusted by farmers and ranchers alike, its the top choice for reliable, hardworking vehicles that get the job done.
While the various shops and interiors are great places to meet The Ranchers' characters, I thought, why not create buildings where you can not only meet NPCs but also gather with players from around the world? Imagine being able to enter these places as seamlessly as any other building in the game, and use them to have fun and forge new friendships! And that, fellow ranchers, is what we now call the Ranchers Community Shared Places. Features within Community Shared Places include: - Text and voice communication through built-in chat and voice comms, allowing players to converse. - The ability to exchange resources and tools with other players. - Restrictions on equipping tools and weapons, as well as prohibitions on harming or stealing from others. And, our first community Shared Places is The Sunset Casino! Community shared places will first be available in EU and US during the preview and will be extended to other countries in the Early Access phase. Lets give you a sneak peek: [previewyoutube=gsx6g7348v8;full][/previewyoutube]
The pedestrians were essential to make the city center and the entire open world feel alive. Even though implementing them came with its own technical challenges, Ive always had a major issue with random NPCs in open-world games. They often feel soulless, and their dialogue tends to be dull unless theyre tied to a quest. They remind me of their technical purpose merely filling space to make the player feel less alone. While it's difficult to break away from that technical role, we took great care in crafting each pedestrian's personality. Every single one has a unique character and backstory that you'll be able to uncover as you explore. - Each pedestrian follows a unique daily schedule that changes each day: whether they're enjoying Sunvale's parks, the beach, running errands, shopping, or even visiting interiors like the city center and the casino - Unique dialogues that change based on the time of day, season, their location, or the activity they're engaged in. - They can offer you valuable advice and hints about what's happening in Sunvale City and its surroundings. - You can even ask them about their families, jobs, beliefs, and life priorities! - And of course, they are fully aware of everything happening around them, including other cars and traffic lights.
This update also features a new traffic system breathing more life to the open world. Vehicles now obey traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, can overtake one another, and will navigate around obstacles like accidents or roadblocks to find their way.
This update introduces 35 new vehicles ranging from three-wheeler, classic cars, muscle cars, sport cars, trucks and pickups. This update also introduces completely new driving mechanics: - Each car, scooter, truck, and more now has its own physics system that takes into account properties like engine type, weight, and engine power, making each vehicle feel more realistic and unique to drive. - All vehicles now feature a visual damage system, allowing you to see the physical effects of accidents or weapons, as well as the overall condition of the vehicle. This damage is generated in real-time based on your actions and also impacts the vehicle's performance. For instance, you could break your headlights or end up with flat tires, affecting how well the vehicle drives. - Each vehicle now features a trunk (that you can open and close ), allowing you to store your belongings. - Some vehicles also allow you to transport your farm animals. - The trunk capacity and the number or type of farm animals you can transport vary with each vehicle, making each one uniquely suited to different tasks. - And of course, all vehicles are drivable, including those in the traffic systemwithout consequences (for now ). Lets take a look: [previewyoutube=Eqf17-5Wqqg;full][/previewyoutube]

Hello Ranchers! Today is a big day!!! You cant imagine how happy and thrilled I'm writing these lines! The Ranchers' big overhaul is complete! And I couldn't be more proud and happy with the final result! It was by far the most reckless decision I've made in the last three years, and oh boy, was it toughreally tough! After the Kickstarter campaign and the overwhelming support The Ranchers received from the community, I was completely humbled and grateful. I was just a gamer, building my dream game in my own little corner... I never imagined The Ranchers would become this popular, not even in my wildest dreams. Seeing gamers from all over the world sharing and supporting this vision gave me even more strength! It made me feel like I could do betterso much betterand deliver something even greater for our community! It was never about building another farming sim game, I wanted The Ranchers to be something familiar, bigger and totally different. Working night and day for the last 14 months with only The Ranchers' vision and loads of doubts wasnt easy at all. Honestly, without the amazing support from our community and all the kind messages of encouragement and faith, I couldn't have made it to where I am today. So I want to thank each and every one of you, reading these lines. I want to tell you that The Ranchers would never be where it is today without you being here with us in this amazing journey. Thank you for being here, thank you for being patient and supportive. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! It was truly magical to watch our dream game come to life day by day, evolving into what feels like an entirely new game. I genuinely believe this overhaul has taken The Ranchers to a whole new level, and it was absolutely worth it. Without any further ado, lets dive into it:

The Ranchers DevUpdate - November 2023
There is a lot to talk about here but to make it simple and quick: The whole game art style was rebuilt from scratch for a more unique and modern look with a stronger visual identity. Here is a quick sneak previews: [previewyoutube=UY9fXMJdk4M;full][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=0lOcahNOaS0;full][/previewyoutube] Now that the foundation of the new visuals is here, I will be sharing more details through new gameplay videos and screenshots with you all in the upcoming weeks ;)
Last summer, I had the opportunity to work with two of the greatest sound designers in our industry. I did learn A LOT about sound, music, and how they can be a great vehicle for creating unique experiences and emotions in gameplay. How little details can make a huge difference in terms of making what's happening on the screen more believable, more alive. One of the more famous quotes I was hearing from all those very talented people is The visuals are half the picture, the sound is the other one (something like that :D ) Therefore, all the audio systems in The Ranchers were also rebuilt from scratch There is also a lot to talk about here too, but basically everything, literally every sound was remade and remastered from scratch. To summarize it in a few bullet points:
Unleashing the team's creativity without any limit (no performance budget) was for me the best way to move forward and see how far we can take it further. Its totally irresponsible and foolish, but in the end who cares? We are making this game for fun! Oh boy! And I did pay the expensive price for it. Optimizing the new art style with all the details and the huge FOV/Zoom level was a nightmare! Now that all of it is behind us, I do look at it as one of my greatest journeys in programming! I had the chance to deeply explore the abyss of Unity game engine and learn how to get the most of every piece of it. Today, I'm very pleased to share with you that The Ranchers, runs very smoothly on the Steam Deck (Linux), Rog Alley (Windows), and all the middle ranges PC handled in the market. Now we also benchmark the performance of every new piece we do add on those devices before moving forward, making them our minimum target hardware. Also, The Ranchers has now a native integration of AMD FSR2 AND Nvidia DLSS leading to more performance gain and wider hardware coverage. With those techs The Ranchers can also run on old/slow hardware and still be greatly playable without compromising any bit of its visual quality!
Im also thrilled to announce that The Ranchers is also coming to MacOS (Intel and Apple silicon) day one! More explicitly, if you are one of our Alpha backers, you will be able to enjoy The Ranchers on your Mac starting from the next build update.
As you know by now, we are currently building the Open World of The Ranchers. Without spoiling anything, the world map is composed of 5 different main zones: [olist] The agricultural zone is where your ranch is situated among other ranchers.
The city center
The industrial zone
Forests/Swamp zone
and the desert.
[/olist]
The agricultural zone production is done, and by the time Im writing this book, we are heavily producing the city center. Other zones should follow a lot quicker now that all the foundations and tools are here.
It was a true headache knowing at which stage we could release a new build update for our Alpha backers. But because now the main game loop is heavily relying on the agricultural zone and the city center, releasing a working build can only be possible once the production of the city center is completed. At least when the first pass is completed.
I know that many of our Alpha backers were expecting all of this to be available right now, but its simply impossible given the new scope of the game/map and all the major changes we did introduce in the latest months. It still needs more work, and trust me its totally worth it!
Dont be sad, dont hurt me on discord or social media (please! : ), The Ranchers is a work of love and its your enthusiasm and support that get us out of the bed each day!
The Ranchers will be released in early access in 2024 as expected. Its truly gonna be great! And thats what matters the most. It was never about the When but always about the What!
2024 it will be, and we are thrilled to be there!
At the end, I sincerely want to thank you again for all the love and support we did receive from you all and count on us to bring to your keyboards and controllers the ultimate farming sim game!
As always I will keep you updated and I can't wait to share more with you in the upcoming weeks.
Cheers,
Ethan

Hello Ranchers, Hope you all are safe and doing great. Since our last big update, I was hesitating about what the next move for The Ranchers' development will be. There were two paths: whether we should prioritize the mines exploration with the Monsters/combat system or the open-world production. It was a hard question to answer as each choice brought its pros and cons. For me, I want The Ranchers to be something that stands out from the other farming sim games, not another Stardew Valley clone with a bunch of upgraded mechanics or a better art style. I want The Ranchers to be something big, and most of all, something different! Like many of you, I grew up with games like Harvest Moon, The Sims, and GTA, and I played the hell out of games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. My vision for The Ranchers since the beginning was: what if all those games had a child? A new game that combines all the mechanics and fun I love about those classics? What will that game be? How can it honor the legacy of those classics while being different and take the farming sim genre to the next level? Reconnecting with this initial vision made that prioritization choice a lot more lucid. Since weve made great advancement on the farming and the Sims side of it, now its time to tackle how much of the GTA spirit should be put in The Ranchers. Moving forward with the Open World production it will be then. Sooo, now its time for my favorite joke: We decided to cancel The Ranchers and start working directly on The Ranchers 2 (Im probably the only one who still finds this statement fun :D) Joke aside, we took the opportunity of rethinking what the heart of The Ranchers is, to revamp and upgrade everything we weren't happy about in the current build, starting with the game visuals!
Fresh and consolidated Art Style.
There is a lot to talk about here but to make it simple and quick: The whole game art style was rebuilt from scratch for a more unique and modern look with a stronger visual identity. Here is a quick sneak previews: [previewyoutube=UY9fXMJdk4M;full][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=0lOcahNOaS0;full][/previewyoutube] Now that the foundation of the new visuals is here, I will be sharing more details through new gameplay videos and screenshots with you all in the upcoming weeks ;)
Studio-grade audio system
Last summer, I had the opportunity to work with two of the greatest sound designers in our industry. I did learn A LOT about sound, music, and how they can be a great vehicle for creating unique experiences and emotions in gameplay. How little details can make a huge difference in terms of making what's happening on the screen more believable, more alive. One of the more famous quotes I was hearing from all those very talented people is The visuals are half the picture, the sound is the other one (something like that :D ) Therefore, all the audio systems in The Ranchers were also rebuilt from scratch There is also a lot to talk about here too, but basically everything, literally every sound was remade and remastered from scratch. To summarize it in a few bullet points:
- New ambiance sounds that make each day feel different. The ambiance sounds also change depending on the player zone and time of the day (crickets, frogs, Owl... by night; different bird species sound per day...)
- New Weather and Weather sweetener sounds: you can, for example, hear the wind sound changing (sweeteners) if you are near a metallic building or a wooden one. You can also hear different sound sweeteners if its raining and you are near trees with wet leaves
- New vehicle engine sound: engine power and power type (gasoline, diesel, electric engine) does now have their unique distinctive sound. You can tell about a vehicle's characteristics just by listening to its engine sound.
- Livestock sound: all the animals' sound has also been revamped from scratch for every breed at every growth stage for better audio fidelity. Now you can also know what is the state of your animal (happy, sad, sick, angry) just by listening to its audio.
- A more rich player footsteps sound that changes depending on the surface type.
- Every player interaction now has audio feedback...
- 60 new music tracks (Yes! 6 and 0 ); Including 12 exclusive music tracks per Season to avoid any sort of repetition. The music is controlled by our new music algorithm (called MozArt - why not? ) that shuffles between music playing and silence in a very specific manner to avoid ear fatigue. It seems that music is all about the notes that we - dont - play!
- The whole game audio is now compatible with Stereo and Surround format: 5.1; 7.1 and 7.1.4 (Dolby Atmos)
Performance by design
Unleashing the team's creativity without any limit (no performance budget) was for me the best way to move forward and see how far we can take it further. Its totally irresponsible and foolish, but in the end who cares? We are making this game for fun! Oh boy! And I did pay the expensive price for it. Optimizing the new art style with all the details and the huge FOV/Zoom level was a nightmare! Now that all of it is behind us, I do look at it as one of my greatest journeys in programming!

Also, The Ranchers has now a native integration of AMD FSR2 AND Nvidia DLSS leading to more performance gain and wider hardware coverage. With those techs The Ranchers can also run on old/slow hardware and still be greatly playable without compromising any bit of its visual quality!
One more thing!
Im also thrilled to announce that The Ranchers is also coming to MacOS (Intel and Apple silicon) day one! More explicitly, if you are one of our Alpha backers, you will be able to enjoy The Ranchers on your Mac starting from the next build update.
Now whats next?
As you know by now, we are currently building the Open World of The Ranchers. Without spoiling anything, the world map is composed of 5 different main zones: [olist]

The Ranchers Community Update
We want to celebrate this new step by showing you the very first update in this phase. Let's take a closer look at the big changes in the new update:
The entire game UI has been rebuilt from scratch, with careful attention to detail. There is A LOT to list here, but i will keep it simple => Experiencing it firsthand is a must! (see the video at the end) I have invested a significant amount of time learning about effective game UI design, ensuring that it enriches the gameplay without being intrusive. Today, I'm incredibly proud of the final results, as it has truly taken the game to a new level. I hope you love it too!
The HUD now features a convenient hotbar for your inventory, complete with keyboard shortcuts. This includes equipping/unequipping items, pressing [M] for the map, [T] for the phone, and using [Enter] to display the multiplayer chat.
All game items, tools, equipment, and vehicle icons have been redesigned to meet our new quality standards and align with the updated game UI. We revamped over 1200 icons!
All game UI elements are now fully compatible with the joystick, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.
Tools, equipment, and anything that players can hold now display all possible interactions with corresponding key bindings or joystick buttons. These interaction helpers are now grouped by equipment, making it easier to understand when you have items equipped in both hands simultaneously (such as a torch and an axe...).
You can now perform bulk crafting in the Craft App and at workbenches. Additionally, all shops support bulk buying, and players can sell items in bulk to shop managers.
You can now move the camera using the middle button of your mouse. Adjustments for camera movement speed, zoom, and auto-zoom reset have been added to the settings app, allowing for more precise customization.
Introducing a new app called "Zesty Metrix" that provides real-time tracking of your ranch's energy efficiency.
We have introduced a comprehensive character customization system with an infinite number of combinations and possibilities.
All clothing and accessories are now interchangeable between body types, and they seamlessly blend with each other without any mesh overlap.
We have implemented new HUD indicators to show your online/offline status and whether your ranch is open for friends to join. You can easily toggle your ranch's exposure to friends in the game settings.
The hammer interaction system has been overhauled, making it easier and clearer to manipulate objects. Additionally, when the hammer is equipped, you can now interact with other elements in the game.
Interacting with vehicles has been significantly simplified, allowing for easier animal transportation, manual refueling from any position around the vehicle, and more.
The loading time when entering or exiting a building interior (such as the Barn or Coop) has been significantly reduced by 80%! Now you can seamlessly transition between the outdoor and indoor environments, enhancing your gameplay flow.
In multiplayer mode, an autosave system will automatically trigger after each "important" action to prevent hacks, cheating, and item duplication. Save file integrity and authenticity are now verified server-side before any multiplayer session. The online integrity verification of save files does not impact offline mode. You can still enjoy The Ranchers at 100% when you are on the go or offline.

Hello Ranchers
Welcome to the Beta version of The Ranchers!
We want to celebrate this new step by showing you the very first update in this phase. Let's take a closer look at the big changes in the new update:
Revamped UI/UX
We have introduced a brand new, modern, and immersive user interface that enhances the player experience.
The entire game UI has been rebuilt from scratch, with careful attention to detail. There is A LOT to list here, but i will keep it simple => Experiencing it firsthand is a must! (see the video at the end) I have invested a significant amount of time learning about effective game UI design, ensuring that it enriches the gameplay without being intrusive. Today, I'm incredibly proud of the final results, as it has truly taken the game to a new level. I hope you love it too!
Inventory hotbar with shortcuts
The HUD now features a convenient hotbar for your inventory, complete with keyboard shortcuts. This includes equipping/unequipping items, pressing [M] for the map, [T] for the phone, and using [Enter] to display the multiplayer chat.
Redesigned icons
All game items, tools, equipment, and vehicle icons have been redesigned to meet our new quality standards and align with the updated game UI. We revamped over 1200 icons!
Full compatibility with joystick
All game UI elements are now fully compatible with the joystick, ensuring a seamless gaming experience.
Enhanced equipment interactions
Tools, equipment, and anything that players can hold now display all possible interactions with corresponding key bindings or joystick buttons. These interaction helpers are now grouped by equipment, making it easier to understand when you have items equipped in both hands simultaneously (such as a torch and an axe...).
Bulk crafting and buying
You can now perform bulk crafting in the Craft App and at workbenches. Additionally, all shops support bulk buying, and players can sell items in bulk to shop managers.
Camera customization
You can now move the camera using the middle button of your mouse. Adjustments for camera movement speed, zoom, and auto-zoom reset have been added to the settings app, allowing for more precise customization.
Zesty Metrix Smartphone App
Introducing a new app called "Zesty Metrix" that provides real-time tracking of your ranch's energy efficiency.
Extensive character customization
We have introduced a comprehensive character customization system with an infinite number of combinations and possibilities.
We've added over 400 new customization items, including hairstyles, beards, shirts, hats, and sunglasses.
All clothing and accessories are now interchangeable between body types, and they seamlessly blend with each other without any mesh overlap.
New HUD indicators
We have implemented new HUD indicators to show your online/offline status and whether your ranch is open for friends to join. You can easily toggle your ranch's exposure to friends in the game settings.
Enhanced hammer interaction
The hammer interaction system has been overhauled, making it easier and clearer to manipulate objects. Additionally, when the hammer is equipped, you can now interact with other elements in the game.
Simplified vehicle interactions
Interacting with vehicles has been significantly simplified, allowing for easier animal transportation, manual refueling from any position around the vehicle, and more.
Building interiors loading time reduced by 80%
The loading time when entering or exiting a building interior (such as the Barn or Coop) has been significantly reduced by 80%! Now you can seamlessly transition between the outdoor and indoor environments, enhancing your gameplay flow.
Multiplayer autosave and save file integrity
In multiplayer mode, an autosave system will automatically trigger after each "important" action to prevent hacks, cheating, and item duplication. Save file integrity and authenticity are now verified server-side before any multiplayer session. The online integrity verification of save files does not impact offline mode. You can still enjoy The Ranchers at 100% when you are on the go or offline.
how about a preview of those features?

Dev Update - Ranching v2 [Alpha]
Rabbits Goats Read more here: http://wiki.ranchers.game/Ranching/Mammal-Animals
New livestock feeding system. Now each species has its unique diet. New Pregnancy mechanic for Mammals Animals. New Eggs hatching mechanic for Oviparous Animals. New Animal Sickness mechanic. All livestock can be raised outdoor without necessary having a barn or a coop. There will be consequences with time, but hey that also means you can have them early!
Addition of 3 new Barns types with their exclusive interiors design. Addition of 3 new Coops types with their exclusive interiors design.
Auto-Feeding Kit, it will feed your animals automatically. Air Conditioning Kit, It will prevent your animals from becoming ill by keeping them warm in Winter and cool in Summer - You can see how your buildings/features kits are linked to each other by hovering your mouse on them with the hammer equipped. This whole building <=> feature kits "linkage system" will open a lot of great new game mechanics that will come in the future. All Coops and Barns doors can be opened or closed as you wish (with benefits and consequences of course). Introduction of Silos. Introduction of Water Towers - By combining Feature Kits, Silos and Water Towers you can now automatise your whole livestock feeding needs. Introduction of animal Troughs that can be crafted and placed in the ranch to feed your livestock when they are outside of the barn/coop or if you are raising them outdoor. Read more here: http://wiki.ranchers.game/Ranching/Barn
All livestock do use a new "systemic food seeking" algorithm to find food and drinks sources in your ranch (Water troughs, different food troughs, wild grass, vegetables, etc). Addition of new models to the existing species: 2 new variations for the Rooster, new Calf's for cows and bulls and chicks for chickens to represent their early growth stage The quality of all the animals' 3D models has been upgraded for better visual quality Polishing round for all the livestock animations! Meat, Milk and Eggs are now animal specific (this is will make the cooking very precise!) Animals do play a specific sound to let you know if they liked your gifts or not! Animals can now be named!
Wild grass do produce Hay regardless of their growth stage. New sprinkler 3D model for "basic sprinkler". Items that have "grid coverage" mechanic, like Sprinklers, Scarecrows and Silos do now show their coverage with a visible grid in game. All the crafted buildings give 50% back of resources when destroyed accidentally. All the tools, animals, vehicles, and so on, can now have multiples rarity variations that will affect the item internal statistics (price, storage capacity, speed..) Addition of a new section in "the end of the day summary" that will have all the important notices that happened during the night (ex. new animal give birth) In "the end of the day summary", if nothing happened (results at 0 Coins and 0 notices), the animation duration is much much faster! New Player animations:When eating and drinking.
Filling the watering can.
Tired and holding the phone or the gun/rifle.
Aim with the gun/rifle.
Balancing the Player energy and health.
Long range weapons can now be used when player is in the air (jumping, falling, etc.)
A new day will only start when you hit "Start new day" button in "the end of the day summary". And that's how you can pause the game. This also works when playing in multiplayer.
Besides from all these features, we have also improved on the general experience when playing The Ranchers and fixed various Bugs and Crashes in the game: As part of our optimization efforts, we have reduced the game's memory usage (VRAM) by a whopping 45% through some wizardry and extensive "cleaning", resulting in a much more stable game even during heavy load/stress! A much faster loading time, between menu screen and when the gameplay start. (reduced by 20.4% to be precise ) We are thrilled to announce that The Ranchers now runs natively on Linux, SteamOs, and the Steam Deck! Read more here: https://wiki.ranchers.game/en/HowTo/TheRanchers-Linux-SteamDeck-Version We have also balanced the summer weather by reducing the amount of rain and fog. We have significantly reduced the mass of birds' physics to prevent them from causing traffic mayhem when they collide with NPC cars. All known "ropes bugs" have been fixed!
The next update will be a Community Update! We will be studying and implementing all the great alpha-feedback we have received from you with a big focus on quality of life and in-game onboarding!

Like anything else in The Ranchers, the final quality of your liquors will highly affect its statistics and therefore its value! Some liquors will give you an energy boost, some can increase the pain tolerance of your character for a limited duration of time and others can be used to flavor your dishes or to celebrate with your friends and loved NPCs!
And of course, you have to use them in moderation otherwise they can also bring a lot of negative effects :)
Crafting liquors is a very profitable business too! You can sell your liquors to other well-paying NPCs, shops, restaurants or to other players via the Auction Market!
This stretch goal also brings new elements that can be placed in your ranch/house like bottles holders, wine/whiskey displays and other elements to store your collection proudly!
As always, we are open to more ideas! Leave a comment or join our discord server to let us know what you have in mind ;)
It has been an incredible kickstarter campaign and words will never be enough to thank you all for the love and support we have received from the whole community!

And yes! Your kickstarter exclusive pet (with his special statistics), will now also help you protect your ranch, go hunting with you and fight beside you when you are diving deeper into the mines!!! We are truly thrilled to have you all with us in this incredible journey and we cant wait to see you all playing The Ranchers Alpha, having your feedback, ideas and more importantly continue shaping the future of The Ranchers together!

Happy Monday Ranchers!!
Our first Stretch Goal is reached!! We've unlocked "Birds & Insects" thanks to your amazing support and trust!
The Ranchers sky will now be populated with flying birds and insects making it more alive than ever!
We are introducing a variety of flying birds and insects including -but not limited to- Crow, Parrot, Pigeon, Seagull, Eagles, Vultures and colorful other birds and butterflies!
Some birds and insects will only appear in some specific zones, some only on a specific time of the day, weather conditions and/or specific season!
Thanks to The Ranchers systemic engine, birds and insects are totally aware of their surrounding, they will be able to land on the open world elements (NPC houses, city buildings, light pole ...), on your own custom buildings (player house, tent, fences...) and they will adapt their behavior by making autonomous decisions based on what's happening in the open world!
Not all birds and insects are just here to fly around and make your day in The Ranchers open world enjoyable! Some can be harmful to your plantations by feeding them self from your crops and planted seeds, and some can take advantage of your livestock!
Can I hunt/catch the harmful ones? Of course you can!
Catched/Hunted birds and insects can be used to decorate your house, sold to well-paying NPCs, help accomplish quests or donated to The Ranchers Museum to help document them all!
As always, we are open to more ideas! Leave a comment or join our discord server to let us know what you have in mind ;)

The Ranchers Dev-Update #2
Meet Alicia, Ivan, Hazel and Bruno (left to right).
Alicia is not just any bachelorette in The Ranchers world! With a sturdy character, she has a good sense of how fashion can be a self expression tool. She runs ones of the very famous clothing boutiques in The Ranchers Country city center.
Ivan is a passionate hunter. He is the person to reach out to if you need to know anything related to hunting or firearms. His dream is to open an armory shop in The Ranchers Country, find love and start a family.
Hazel the famous local travel and foodies influencer, will she have time for both love and a booming career?
Bruno You need a truck, a bike or even a sport car? Bruno is your man! He is by far the most skilled car and bike expert and enthusiast in the Ranchers Country. He owns and runs (with his brothers) the most luxurious car dealer shop downtown. He is also an eligible bachelor.
We're excited to reveal four new categories of vehicles that we introduced in The Ranchers world. Each vehicle has a specific set of states like speed, handling, acceleration, passenger capacity, storages capacity and energy need/consumption... Vehicles can be bought from one of the car dealers in the Ranchers Country to make deliveries, transport your animals, explore far away places or simply to cruise around with your friends or beloved one!
Depending on the type of vehicle you are using, some of them, for instance bicycles, will drain your player energy while others will need electricity or fuel! For example, you can refuel your vehicles with thermic engines at one of many gas stations in the Ranchers world and if you do plan to go off-road for a longer period make sure to have some fuel jerricans just in case ;) Here is an example of how refueling your Kamikazi with a fuel jerrican will work: [previewyoutube=ijW0BNZiLF0;full][/previewyoutube] And of course, driving conditions are also related to the weather conditions :)
In The Ranchers, you can transport your livestock from one place to another and with good reason: transporting them to the veterinary, the city farmer's market, livestock events & contests... Or simply feeding your animals for free by bringing them to some prairies once there is no more wild grass in your ranch :) Some livestock can simply be transport on bicycles :D [previewyoutube=xuVHCbSGVdc;full][/previewyoutube] ...And some will need a proper truck to transport them safely: [previewyoutube=oJ5nbN96kK0;full][/previewyoutube]
The Ranchers is built on top of our in-house "Systemic Engine" layer, which is a technical term to brag a bit and say's that all props in the game are interactibles and do react to the weather conditions, players/NPCs interactions and to the classical elements (water, fire, air...). We took huge inspiration from games like the Zelda breath of the wild and how having a "Systemic Engine" can bring a huge level of realism, leading to a unique and totally autonomous world simulation while giving our players an unseen level of freedom by experimenting with The Ranchers open world. And to illustrate all of this, we did prepare a small set of video to showcase how all of that work by taking a simple example, as "How to cut a tree in The Ranchers?": Method 1 - By using your Axe (or any sharp item - Yes, you can use a fork!) [previewyoutube=un-Zj-IH7ew;full][/previewyoutube] Method 2 - By using your car or truck [previewyoutube=A1I9Q0Y1IyU;full][/previewyoutube] Method 3 - By using guns [previewyoutube=yswtqyQf3OI;full][/previewyoutube] Method 4 - By using your imagination! [previewyoutube=mYvUNBU9YB8;full][/previewyoutube] One other way of using your imagination or your knowledge is to be able to answer those types of questions like: "How to create charcoal in a forest?" Nomally charcoal is an abundant resource found in mines, so it makes total sense to get it from there. BUT there are also many clever and free ways of doing just that and the game will never tell you about them! It's really up to you and your knowledge to discover all those secrets ;) Let's start spoiling one way of achieving that: Burning wood logs will turn them to charcoal! But be aware, that only works when it's , when it's ...that's another story :) And here is how it looks like in game: [previewyoutube=pp9bq9J7PUw;full][/previewyoutube] You think you get it? Great! Here are other questions: "How to make cement?", "How to make glass?", "How to make butter?" and the list goes on... :D
We are truly excited to announce that The Ranchers will be optimized day one for the Steam Deck!
That's all folks! Hope you have enjoyed this "exceptionally long" update! As always, your feedback is more than appreciated! Feel free to join us on Discord to let's us know what do you think of all those announcements. Oh yeah, The Ranchers is coming to Kickstarter this July!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure to join our Discord Server, Wishlist The Ranchers on Steam and subscribe to our Kickstarter page to don't miss the precise date and when the Kickstarter campaign will go live! Kickstarter backers will gain exclusive access to our closed Alpha! So if you want to play The Ranchers earlier and shape it with us, make sure to secure your exclusive closed Alpha copy!

Hello Ranchers, I hope you are all safe and doing great! First of all, my deepest apologies for the recent silence. As you all know, the recent world situation was a bit scary for all of us and we were affected like everyone else with what's going on as we do have partners, friends, teammate in both sides and our top priority was to make sure that everyone is safe first! Despite all this turbulence we have managed a great progress in developing the game, and I'm truly proud of all the efforts given by our team, and very grateful for all the support we have received from the community to overcome all these recent challenges! Many thanks from the bottom of my heart for all your support, love and understanding This DevUpdate is a special one as we do have many surprises and great news we do want to share with you! Without further ado let's start by presenting our new batch of bachelors:

New Vehicles!
We're excited to reveal four new categories of vehicles that we introduced in The Ranchers world. Each vehicle has a specific set of states like speed, handling, acceleration, passenger capacity, storages capacity and energy need/consumption... Vehicles can be bought from one of the car dealers in the Ranchers Country to make deliveries, transport your animals, explore far away places or simply to cruise around with your friends or beloved one!
Energy is key!
Depending on the type of vehicle you are using, some of them, for instance bicycles, will drain your player energy while others will need electricity or fuel! For example, you can refuel your vehicles with thermic engines at one of many gas stations in the Ranchers world and if you do plan to go off-road for a longer period make sure to have some fuel jerricans just in case ;) Here is an example of how refueling your Kamikazi with a fuel jerrican will work: [previewyoutube=ijW0BNZiLF0;full][/previewyoutube] And of course, driving conditions are also related to the weather conditions :)
Your livestock are going places!
In The Ranchers, you can transport your livestock from one place to another and with good reason: transporting them to the veterinary, the city farmer's market, livestock events & contests... Or simply feeding your animals for free by bringing them to some prairies once there is no more wild grass in your ranch :) Some livestock can simply be transport on bicycles :D [previewyoutube=xuVHCbSGVdc;full][/previewyoutube] ...And some will need a proper truck to transport them safely: [previewyoutube=oJ5nbN96kK0;full][/previewyoutube]
The Systemic Engine!
The Ranchers is built on top of our in-house "Systemic Engine" layer, which is a technical term to brag a bit and say's that all props in the game are interactibles and do react to the weather conditions, players/NPCs interactions and to the classical elements (water, fire, air...). We took huge inspiration from games like the Zelda breath of the wild and how having a "Systemic Engine" can bring a huge level of realism, leading to a unique and totally autonomous world simulation while giving our players an unseen level of freedom by experimenting with The Ranchers open world. And to illustrate all of this, we did prepare a small set of video to showcase how all of that work by taking a simple example, as "How to cut a tree in The Ranchers?": Method 1 - By using your Axe (or any sharp item - Yes, you can use a fork!) [previewyoutube=un-Zj-IH7ew;full][/previewyoutube] Method 2 - By using your car or truck [previewyoutube=A1I9Q0Y1IyU;full][/previewyoutube] Method 3 - By using guns [previewyoutube=yswtqyQf3OI;full][/previewyoutube] Method 4 - By using your imagination! [previewyoutube=mYvUNBU9YB8;full][/previewyoutube] One other way of using your imagination or your knowledge is to be able to answer those types of questions like: "How to create charcoal in a forest?" Nomally charcoal is an abundant resource found in mines, so it makes total sense to get it from there. BUT there are also many clever and free ways of doing just that and the game will never tell you about them! It's really up to you and your knowledge to discover all those secrets ;) Let's start spoiling one way of achieving that: Burning wood logs will turn them to charcoal! But be aware, that only works when it's , when it's ...that's another story :) And here is how it looks like in game: [previewyoutube=pp9bq9J7PUw;full][/previewyoutube] You think you get it? Great! Here are other questions: "How to make cement?", "How to make glass?", "How to make butter?" and the list goes on... :D
The Ranchers is going places too!
We are truly excited to announce that The Ranchers will be optimized day one for the Steam Deck!
What's next?
That's all folks! Hope you have enjoyed this "exceptionally long" update! As always, your feedback is more than appreciated!

Let me introduce myself!
[ 2021-11-04 07:11:39 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello Ranchers! First of all I want to thank you all from the deep of my heart for all the kind words and support about The Ranchers! My name is Ethan, I'm a father of a 4 year old little girl, a geek and an old time farm SIM lover. Like many of you, I grow up with games like Harvest Moon, The Sims and GTA and I played the hell out of games like Stardew Valley and Animals crossing... Till' dreaming of myself playing those games when I'm sleeping :D And one day, I get this sticky idea: What about creating a game that will combine all the mechanics and stuffs I love about those games? A modern game that will push every boundary of those beloved classics? You guess it! That sticky idea become the game we now call The Ranchers! I start working on The Ranchers as a side project to my day job back in 2016. A few years later I had a baby, quit my job, sold everything my wife and I own, we bought a farm (yes a real one :D) and The Ranchers became my full-time daily job! (After taking care of our cows of course) When I create this steam page in December 2020 I really wasn't expecting all the love and support from you guys, so once again thank you so much, it really means a lot to us! Now we are a small, multicultural team of great and talented people working on The Ranches 24/7 (barely kidding :P) and we can't wait to share more exciting infos about the game with you! And yeah, if you want to say hello and have a chat, feel free to join us on our freshly created Discord Sever . Chat to you soon! Ethan
