A NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NEW YEAR
Happy New Year everyone! I'm trying to bring all the experience from Hogvalord to make a better new game in this year. I also wish you all the best for the new year. And please take a look at Hogvalord: The Ranch!
QUICK ACCESS BUTTON UPDATE
Hello, fellow hogmasters! How's the ranch? In the previous update, we added relationship content into the game. Have you tried it out? We hope you have a good time making friends with Patricia. Recently we got a request to have more quick slot. It's a fast-paced technological era that we are living in, we understand that convenience is king. So we process to forge one right away in our digital smithy. Now you can buy the blueprint of the quick access button from the merchant. Use the blueprint to unlock the second slot. Hope it helps make your farming life easier!
Again, thank you for supporting us by either choosing Hogvalord to play or giving us precious feedback. We truly appreciate it and will keep trying to make this game a pleasant experience.
RELATIONSHIP UPDATE
Hello, fellow hogmasters! How are you all doing?
This time, last year, Hogvalord has made its first appearance. Certainly simple and humble at first, but with the help of our little community, this title kept growing little by little. Thanks to that, we are able to be here to celebrate the second summer. And we just found out something surprising about summer. That, according to Wikipedia, there are at least eight songs with the title "Summer Love" dating back to 1957. So, summer is a season of love, too, huh? Well, we are not sure about that. But we will take it as a good excuse to bring up our most expected update: RELATIONSHIP! Yay!
PATCH HIGHLIGHT
You have been working hard day after day since Early Access. You feel like you are a workaholic even in a game... Hold on, that's not our intention. We support work-life balance! So, let's take a break from the ranch, roam around the village and try to befriend someone.
You can now interact with Patricia - the young lady next door. It's not a hide and seek game, but you can only find her at some certain places, in some certain time of the day, and in a certain kind of weather.
Giving gifts to grow the relationship. Note that there are gifts that make them go yay, and gifts that just "mmm-okay". Gifting the right items will help raise the heart bar faster.
When you reach a certain point of the heart bar, you will be able to trigger heart events that will strengthen the bond between you and your crush. Heart events are special scenes or back stories that the NPC normally doesn't share.
FIXED BUGS:
Can't harvest honeycomb from Bee House in the following days if the player does not go to other locations.
The flower has a weird shape caused by the shader error.
Have a great summer time and happy romancing!

NEW UPDATE IS COMING: RELATIONSHIP!
Hello fellow ranchers,
It's almost a year since Hogvalord was out. The gameplay was really simple and straight to the point in the early days. You move back to your hometown. Receiving an abandoned land. Spending some sweat, blood (maybe tears too) to get your startup pig farm running. Fighting monsters or whoever trespass your land. Playing witchcraft with the piggies. Growing your own veggies. And recently, a feature to build and enter your own house to sleep and avoid monsters. That's pretty much everything one would do to settle down, you might think. But wait, that isn't the end.
It's time for something even more joyful and meaningful. Do you wanna build a relationship with the people around your land? Befriend someone, becoming closer, and even falling in love? We know everyone loves to have this feature badly. That's why, we are working on it. Stay tuned for this summer guys!
UPDATE 1.0.53 NOTE
General:
Add auto-saving when the player gets to sleep in the tent.
Rebalancing the hog price. You will gain more profit from selling hogs.
Fixed bugs:
The image of the hog didn't show up in the inventory tab.
UPDATE 1.0.52 NOTE
Fixed bugs:
The player can't complete the tutorial because the counter worked improperly.
NEW VERSION 1.0.5
General:
Adjustment to the characteristics and statistics makes the Hogragons live longer and cleverer. They can open the door and go inside the ranch when they're hungry and thirsty.
A new NPC came to Spring Village. You can sell your items for her as much as you want. That's the fastest way to become rich.
Adjustment to Lucas's movement direction makes the gamepad and keyboard controlling easier.
Speed up the animation when Lucas picks the thing up.
UPDATE 1.0.4 NOTE
General:
The new achievements are available for the players who like challenges. It's cool to have something to show off on your profile, and you will get them while enjoying this game.
The natural border in the forests shows the boundary clearer. You can find it easier to know where you can put your steps.
Filling water to the trough is quicker than before. You don't have to spend so much time and energy on this task anymore. Tip: the rain also helps you with this kind of job.
Adjustment to the characteristics and statistics makes the hogs live longer and cleverer. They can open the door and go inside the ranch when they're hungry and thirsty.
Fixed bugs:
The language flag issue. The lang showed nothing sometimes.
The bug in the tutorial. What's that? The issue stops players from continuing the tutorial when they run out of wood. If you're in this situation, you can ask Christy for more wood.
The players can't continue the main quest when they beat down the forest guardian before fulfilling his quest.
THE NEW VERSION, 1.0.32, NOW'S AVAILABLE
After testing this new version for a while, it's time to give it a go. I also drew this artwork as a gift for showing my appreciation to you (my beloved players). I hope you will like all the new improvements in this 1.0.32 version.
Once again, I'm very grateful to the players (dear customers) who have enthusiastically contacted me, sending me the necessary information to fix bugs in my product and allowing me to serve all of you better.
