What Family Farm Will Have To Offer: An Update On Your Ideas

Dear farmers, this post is just to give you a small update about what is becoming of the ideas you all have sent us lately... or the not-becoming. Of course, we would be happy to implement anything you suggest! Unfortunately, that is not always possible. For example, not all ideas are compatible with the game's technical programming, and some ideas may be vetoed by the superiors or yours truly. However, even if 9 ideas out of 10 would not make it into the game, there is still so much that we can and will do!


Let's begin with the bad news. The ideas to share stuff you have and that you find useless with your neighbors who may find them more useful, did not make it. Also it has been decided not to introduce a lot of super fast growing crops - we're afraid our servers will not be able to handle the ginormous amount of extra operations this is likely to generate. (Our servers have some trouble already, as you may have noticed; we think it's better to fix that first.)


Mission Timer and Horse
The good news is that we are currently developing a solution for those who do not want to do (some of the) missions and neither want to skip them by paying RC. What we are developing, is a timer that can be set on specific missions. If you want to skip a mission that has a timer, all you have to do is wait a few days, and the mission will be exchanged for another one. The downside is: you won't get the reward either, but that may speak for itself.


This not the horse, it's the unicorn
("Sagittarius Horse") that we
already have in the game.
Another good thing is that we are happy to announce that a Horse is on its way to Family Farm! All versions of the game, from all over the world, have been lobbying like maniacs for the Horse to come. The problem was always: what will a Horse produce? We were reluctant to introduce such a noble animal just as a decoration, but finally the Horse will serve a real purpose.... It should arrive in a matter of weeks.


And there is even more good news: a Beautiful Farm contest will soon start in Family Farm. You can make a head start if you want! More news about this is coming soon...

    1. Hi! We are developing more missions already. There are more regular missions coming up soon (at the left side of the screen), and there will be Easter missions as special missions (on the right side of the screen).

  5. Family Farm is an innovative tycoon game in the setting of 19th century farmsteads. It's a simulation of a farmstead experienced in stories which span a generation. Clicking cows won't earn you any cash! You control characters with RPG-like Family Farm
    attributes, skills and needs. Keep them fed, develop their skills, upgrade house to accommodate a bigger family and grow their land in to a Family Farm!
