Hi! Thanks for your message! We are really hard working every day. Now we are working on something special to show in to you the upcoming month! And we surely inform you about closed beta tests! Thanks for being our supporter!
Update #33 - WE ARE BACK! Hello all! First of all, thanks for your support during last weeks. It was really important for us. We promise to post regular updates - every single week. Now we are proud to reveal new BLOCKY FARM look. This is a result of 4 months of hard work. During this time we've made over 100 new models, thousand of bug fixes and several totally new features, all for this one game - BLOCKY FARM. Enjoy the new graphics with us! FULL SIZE GIF HERE [1600x900] Do you like it? FYI: Blocky Farm is a next-genre voxel-styled mobile farm manager with strong focus on animal care with unique features like driving a tractor and more. More info soon! )
Thanks! We are doing our best and thanks to your comments we are more excited with every passing day too!
Looking good, I want a new game like this but it's always based on how the IAP work and what features it has on if it's something I keep playing or not. So many games make life difficult with undersized storage and awkward management.
You're right in general. That's why our game will obviously have IAPs but: 1) it will be non-invasive implemented 2) there will be a TON of additional features in Blocky Farm without IAPs Quality first! Regarding to the undersized storage, I think it was both in Harvest Moon and FarmVille-like games.
That's good to hear, I can't wait to try the game. But yes those games use undersized storage to try to get money out of you for bigger ones, I always wish they would do a reasonably priced IAP for unlimited storage as I'm kind of a hoarder on these games and often can't stock everything I want due to limited space. The game really does look good though and I'll have to go through all these pages now reading anything I might have missed.
Thanks! And I really encourage you to get through all pages of this devlog. Even we want to sometimes look back on Blocky Farm and the progress that we made
Update #34 - Farm Visitors & Quests! Hello all! Today we want to show you a new feature - FARM VISITORS & QUESTS. Current list of personas: 1) Mayor 2) Farmer 3) Businessman 4) Vet 5) Hipster Farm Visitors will visit our farm from time to time with some simple tasks to do for us. For example, it can be taking care of pet, repairing an abandoned house or just selling a product. This creates over hundred of possible missions. We have implemented around 20 different activities which can mix with each other, creating completely new quest every single time! On the GIF you can see visitors' vehicles and new buttons in HUD that indicate current progress of each mission. We are excited, what about you?!
Just gone through the whole thread and it's great to see all the changes graphically and with the game, the game is looking very good although I still think the UI is a bit ugly and could do with some work as even that can put someone off as it doesn't look as clean as other games although I do understand your not a big studio like those. I'm also wondering how trees will work? Are they buy once and then unlimited use? Or do they run out and you have to buy a new one? I hate replanting them but wouldn't mind just needing to water them. How limited is storage in your barn or silo? I hate it when devs make you struggle I never understand why I just can't have unlimited storage. What is the aim of the game? Is there progression in growing your farm and with the goods you produce, you need something to aim for to build up.
First of all, thanks for your long message full of questions, feedback and ideas. It's pleasure for us to have a dialogue with our watchers/game fans/future players Thanks! Honestly, we also like the progress that we made with our game! We agree with you. We will put a lot of work to improve our UI (and UX as well) in the near future. We will be very thankful for every example of a good UI in your opinion (especially in this games genre). We have good news! We also hate replanting trees and that's why they are unlimited in Blocky Farm. How it works now? 1) You buy tree 2) Tree is ready after some time 3) You get a water from the well (water renew in a time) 4) You water the tree 5) Tree gives you fruits 6) Back to the point 3. We consider adding watering tree also while it is growing. The storage size is limited. You will have to level up silo and barn with gathered resources. Is it bad? We think that no. It adds a little strategy element in Blocky Farm when you will have to think about and plan what you do. But we are open for any suggestions of course. The main aim of the game is to have fun, take care of your pets, explore the created world (we have some surprises to reveal), compete with other players and progression in growing your farm as well. Thanks a lot again and have a nice Sunday!
Dear friends! We are still waiting for your feedback! Please ask us any question you have. Please suggest any idea you got too! To encourage you to activity, we share a Farmer picture with you - one of five farm visitors who you will be able to interact with.

Looks great for me. Keep up a good work guys, it will be a hit for sure. Just waiting for more gifs from Blocky Farm
The level of details in this game is simply amazing! Will there be implemented any social functions? Can I be able to share some statistics / achievements / progress with others?
Update #35 - Screenshots! Hi all! Firstly, thank to you for your activity. This is a real honor for us. Secondly, as announced a couple days ago, we have something special for you - actual ingame screenshots! Disclaimer: UI will be redesigned in the upcoming months. Please share your opinion with us (even if it will be about UI graphics )! Orchard Fields Pet interaction panel Farm visitors Waterfall & watermill Some decorations Yes, sure! There will be several common social functions as sharing your farm level etc. but we plan to add some totally fresh social aspects strongly related to our original game features (tractor and pets).
