Farming Life release date announcement
It’s almost time, Farmers!
We can finally announce that Farming Life will be released on October 18th this year! With autumn starting, it’ll be a good time to spend rainy days on the sunny fields of your own farm!
Farming Life is a 3D lowpoly-stylized farming simulator game, which allows you to become an agricultural entrepreneur! Help Sam, who – along with his wife Linda – has moved away from the hustle and bustle of a big city to a humble life in the countryside. Help him manage his dear grandfather's farm and bring it to its former glory!
As a way to celebrate upcoming launch, we'd also like too announce a Community Group Challenge! Its rules are very simple – if we can gather a big enough community for the game by the game's launch, we'll apply a discount to the initial price! All you need to do is go to Farming Life Community Hub and press Follow! The more people do the same, the bigger the discount will be!
The Challenge's goals are as follows:
As we're a small team, having people follow the game is a great help to us, as it helps us to measure interest in Farming Life. If it interests you, we would appreciate it if you could join our humble community and tell your friends about it! Also add the game to your Wishlist or spread the word around. If you can do all of those – that's even better, but remember that every little bit of help matters! :)
We can’t wait! We have done our very best to bring you a truly relaxing and fun experience and we hope you’ll like it!
Before the big day, we'll make sure to show you the trailer that's been in the works for some time now. We'll keep you updated – stay tuned!
Best Regards, Farming Life Team
Devlog #25: Random Quests
Greetings, Farmers! 😃
We’d like to introduce you to the last few important mechanics in our game.
We believe we haven’t told you about Random Quests yet!
What are these? Other than Mayor's Competition missions, which can be picked at a specific time via Newspaper menu, Random Quests serve as an additional source of profit for you. Contrary to the former, though, they appear at random time and order. These missions are given out by various citizens, who spontaneously come to Sam asking for help. When they do, a notification appears, and a player has a choice to accept the request or refuse. It’s worth taking advantage of these quests, as they can provide you with a good amount of additional money, experience and improve your relationship with citizens.
To give you an additional insight into your status in the town’s little community, we have also included a Ranking system!
This window will appear at the end of every day and show you how much progress you’ve made compared to other local farmers. As you can see, Sam has a long way to go to reach the top but it’s definitely possible! His success is up to you! 💪
As always, we invite you to our Discord server to chat with us about Farming Life, as well as any other games we’re working on. ❤️
Stay well! Farming Life Team
Devlog #24: Progression System
Hello, Farmers!
It’s time for another update! While our team continues working on Farming Life, testing and polishing various game mechanics, we’d like to tell you a thing or two about gameplay features we haven’t described yet.
Let’s start with the Level Progression System!
Much of what you’ll be able to buy and achieve in game depends on your experience. Your experience is measured via a familiar Level System. Every action you perform – tending to your fields, completing missions, cutting down trees, to name a few – provides you with experience, which accumulates and eventually allows you to level up. The higher your level, the more objects, cars, buildings and quests will become available to you. Don’t be afraid to try out new things, experiment, build, destroy and start anew – none of your efforts will be wasted! 😊
Of course, your beginnings will be humble and at first, you may not have enough space to really let your creativity run wild. However, with time and growing resources, you’ll be able to expand your farm’s area!
Much like objects mentioned above, buying new areas will require not only money, but also unlocking – and for that, you have to reach a high enough level. We’re making sure the Progression System is smooth enough, so you’ll be able to start expanding your farm as soon as you learn the ropes of farm management. 🙂
That’s it for today! If you’d like to chat with us, make sure to join our Discord server! Stay tuned, another devlog will drop soon!
See you soon! Farming Life Team
Devlog #23: Small animals and new vehicles!
Hello, Farmers! 👋
It’s been a while! Our apologies for that. Our team has been continuously polishing the game, while our testing team along with our publisher have both been great help by pointing out issues and room for improvement. As a result, the game has gone through many small changes, some of which would be difficult to show you.
Nevertheless, we’ve realized it’s about time to give you some update on our progress, and so, we’d like to tell you about a few things.
Firstly, farm animals can now give birth to small animals, meaning that your humble farm can expand quickly if you provide animals with good conditions and care. To have young animals appear on your farm, you need to have two animals of the same species and make sure they’re both clean, healthy and well-fed. If you fulfill these conditions, you’ll eventually be greeted with this sight.
We have also added two new vehicles to the game! The red one you can see below is the “basic” vehicle Sam and Linda have in their possession. Eventually, though, once your farm grows, so will your income and then you’ll be able to get the lovely blue or elegant black pickup truck.
Of course, the trailer mentioned in the previous devlog is still in the works – we’ll show you the end result as soon as our publisher has it ready. 🙂
As always, we invite you all to our Discord server, where you can freely talk to us about our games!
I know you wait for some content from this game but our friends have a premiere of Castle Flipper.
Along with it comes:
• Stream that should start in few moments • Giveaway - for the best Medieval jokes we will be offering some Steam Keys of Castle Flipper • Great deal on launch with very nice price - just 18.99$ - 15% • Royalty bonus for those who own House Flipper or/and Train Station Renovation
• Be quick! The offer lasts between May 26 – June 2
Our dev team is continuously working on Farming Life, making fixes and adding finishing touches to make the game as enjoyable as possible. ✨ Meanwhile, our other team members, along with our publisher, are working on a game trailer, which will once again show you all you need to know about the game – basic game mechanics, graphics, world and characters – all in a short but dynamic video. 🎞️🍿
Here are some of the shots from the trailer. Of course, it goes without saying that it’s a Work in Progress and the end result will look even better.😊
Excited? We hope so – we can hardly contain our excitement at this point! 😄 We hope to share the final result and even bigger announcement soon!
Friendly reminder that our Discord server is very much active and our community always welcomes new members!
Take care! Farming Life Team
Devlog #21: Optimization and new buildings!
Hello, Farmers!
We’ve been quiet for some time now. Rest assured though, development of Farming Life is not slowing down!
The game still requires some work before we can hand it over to you with confidence. While most of the big features have been implemented, we are now handling more subtle matters, such as polishing UI, tweaking balance, as well as optimization.
We have also been working on lighting and colors. Farming Life is supposed to be a relaxing, uplifting game and we believe aesthetics contribute a lot to that charm. :) Therefore, all the objects now have shadows shifting according to time, and everything is now brighter and much more pleasant to look at!
You can see a comparison below:

AFTER
Let us know what you think!
Other than that, we have added some new buildings to the game! With their help, you can produce certain goods, which you can then use for trading and making additional profit. These buildings are still Work in Progress and their design might change.
We have included some of the models here:
Can you guess what will be their purpose? :)
That’s all from us for now! Thank you for your support and stay tuned for more updates regarding Farming Life! Also, join our Discord community to chat about the game! We would be happy to hear from you!
We’d like to let you know about recent development progress of the game. If you’ve been following our previous Devlogs, you may recall a daily newspaper system we’ve been working on. For those of you unfamiliar with the idea, we explain everything in Devlog #19.
We’ve been polishing the system over the last few weeks and making sure it works smoothly while adding useful features. Namely, Mayor Competition missions. They serve as challenges that player can take on to get recognition from Mayor himself!
To access them, all you need to do is turn the newspaper to page 2 and choose the task you’d like to do by pressing “Try” button. It’s only then that you can read the details about the mission, including detailed instructions and a time limit.
If you’re not good with time pressure, don’t worry! The mission will be available to you anytime! ːsteamhappyː Completing the task earns you Mayor’s recognition along with a prize and a special article dedicated to you! Therefore, we encourage you to complete all the missions!
What’s left after finishing all the tasks? Don’t worry about that, either! Your hard work will definitely be recognized and we’re going to make sure there is plenty of stuff to enjoy in Farming Life beyond that. ;)
Please keep in mind that screenshots shown above don't represent the newspaper's final look. Stay tuned for more updates and keep following Farming Life on Steam! Details regarding full release are coming soon. For the time being, make sure to join our Discord community and visit our social media.
We're back with the new development update focused on the recent progress! Last few months, we spent introducing improvements and changes to the game based on the Discord Community's feedback and our Publisher.
We've recently added a progression system in which players gain experience, level up and unlock new features as they progress through the game. We've also introduced a daily newspaper system which allows players to read exciting stories, important announcements and various farm facts. With Farming Time, every farmer will be up to date with the latest news and farm trends!
Below you can take a look at the screenshot of the newspaper (WIP). We're still working on the design and the content of the newspaper, so please keep in mind that this screenshot doesn't represent the newspaper's final look.
Stay tuned for future devlogs and keep following Farming Life on Stream! We will soon give you more details regarding the full release! Feel free to join our Discord Community, and visit our social media.
