Song Of The Prairie - Kickstarter is now live!
Hello dear: Welcome to witness the construction of Prairie Town!
After months of preparation, Kickstarter finally met the villagers, and the campaign will run for 28 days (June 6th - July 4th).
Our first goal was $25,000, because the core gameplay content of the game has taken shape, and with Kickstarter, we hope that more ideas can be realized. Here's what's been made public for the first time. For example: more animals, food, plants, etc. There's even very early Switch demo content.
In the future, we will regularly share the development progress, including but not limited to, Kickstarter or Steam or blog, etc.

First developer update of Song of the Prairie.
Welcome to the first developer update of Song of the Prairie.
The Shop page is now available. We will continue to update more content to the Shop as we proceed with the game development. Add this game to your wish list now and stay tuned to all the latest news.
This time, we will be talking about some of the iterations of the current path.（The screenshot of this test is the Chinese version.）
The main menu of Song of the Prairie made its debut this Tuesday, so we will also be looking at the early version of this main menu.
The new version of the main menu.
The old version of the main menu.
The character appearance customization system went through an overhaul. Compared to the previously streamlined interface, the new version looks more detailed and exquisite with improved visual arts.
Let’s look at the comparison between the new and old versions of the character customization menu.
The new version.
The old version.
Here is our first batch of displayed character designs, which also have a comparison chart for the new and old versions.
From the comparison, we can see that the old character designs look more realistic, which doesn’t quite match the art style of this game. So, we adjusted and optimized the character designs and their related in-game content.
The characters shown here are just a part of the whole roster.
We will be revealing more characters and updating their basic introductions to better present the in-game world.
Soon, we will bring more new in-game content and we will constantly improve Song of the Prairie until it is fully polished.
Patch 1.0 might look different from what you are seeing right now because we will continue to optimize the in-game content and make adjustments based on the feedback submitted by the test participants.
Thank you for reading. Until next time. D.S Studio
