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

The Ranchers is an open world country-life RPG in open sandbox mode!

After years of living in the metropolis' stressful and hectic life, you finally decide to leave everything behind to buy your first lot of land in the country and start a new life, in the quiet, close to nature. However, your skills as a farmer and manager will be put to the test to make your Ranch a prosperous business and earn the villagers' respect and esteem. And who knows, maybe find love and start a family.

CREATE YOUR RANCH.

Raise animals, grow crops, reclaim resources, buy new lots of land, and much more. You'll have plenty of space to create the Ranch of your dreams.

DEVELOP YOUR RANCH.

Craft objects, machines, and transform your basic resources into elaborate products to attract villagers, fill daily orders, or sell them in different markets for maximum profit.

MANAGE YOUR RANCH.

Optimize your Ranch's resource consumption, sign water, electricity contracts, or build your water wells, wind turbines, and solar panels and sell your surplus to the village.

ONLINE COOPERATION.

Invite 1 to 3 players to join you in your Ranch online! Your friends can help you develop your Ranch, fulfill your goals, or explore the vast open world of The Ranchers together.

AUCTION MARKET.

You can sell your resources to other players via the online auction market to maximize your profits. The auction market is directly accessible from within the game and from the companion application on iOS and Android. It seems that in The Ranchers, money never sleeps!

TRADE GUILD.

The Trade Guild offers you new and exciting challenges every real-world season to test your Rancher skills and collect rewards, exclusive new animal breeds, new seeds, and new in-game content - all to make your Ranch the greatest and most powerful empire ever built.

A GIGANTIC OPEN WORLD.

On foot, horseback, scooter, pickup, or yacht, explore a gigantic open world where mines, wild islands, shipwrecks, and dangerous monsters abound. Use your skills to recover ultra-rare minerals, gems, etc., to make and improve your tools, donate them to the village museum, or sell them at the auction market to other players.

IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS.

Enhance your character with various skills that will serve you in your adventures. Choose to develop your farming, ranching, crafting/building, combat, or hunter/fisher skills depending on your play style.

BUILD THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS.

By the seaside, in the middle of the prairie, or on top of a hill, choose your decor and place your furniture to create a house that reflects your image and that your friends will love.

JOIN THE COMMUNITY.

Meet many colorful characters and discover their atypical personalities, everyday life, and fascinating stories. They go to work, go to the park, go to the restaurant, play sports, and interact with each other in many different ways. Take the time to get to know them, make friendships, and who knows, maybe love will be there, and you can move in together, have children and start a family?
