Hi.


I did try it today and that bug is still there.


It's not my kind of game but keep it up smile

I'm gone for real :)

Suggestion to expand on what #25 has said. You could hire farmhands. These farmhands would periodically interact with your animals (milk cows, feed pigs, collect eggs etc). But they require a salary that you must pay every season. If you can't pay, they leave you, but let's say one farm hand can look after five different animals or so.

I used to be a knee like you, then I took an adventurer in the arrow.

Hi.
Actually I love the fact that you need to persecute animals, as that happens in real life farms. I've worked in one myself and needed to chase cows and sheeps hahahaha. Sad but true.
Also yes, workers would be great as well but they should be unlockable after a period of time, because small breeders do not have the funds to pay a worker in real life.

Take care.
Mike.

I don't play games as much as I wish, but you can know that it's me if there's a John Weed over there. Ha ha!

Hello folks! I've experienced the same bug with the guard dogs with other animals too. Apparently when you press the key to buy an animal repeatedly it buys various copies without spending cash. I may be able to help with sounds and voice acting too if needed.

Hey there haramir.
Hoy, aren't you the voice of swamp? If yes, lol your voiceacting freaking rocks dude.
I wish to voiceact someday, but my voice is so childy even though I'm at my 20's. Hahahaha

Take care.

OK. great game, although the trees are to bloody powerful. A couple sheep, chickens and cows, and 4 trees and you're unstoppable. This game reminded me how much I over do things lol. I had over 255 animals in 25 minutes. It could be less, but it was still a hell of a lot. I also had 4545 survings of food, and about 25 trees. My only suggestion is raise the prices of the animals, because cows and oinkers especially are pretty expensive. Chickens are like 5 dollars for one here, so that's like a dollar US. Pigs are lke 700 to a grand, so about a hundred to one fifty. Great job however, I also wished you added a notification for when wolves attack, but I probably mised that lol. Keep it up, and mind the animal pricing.

ooooo! As for RB Dice, one hundred quadrillion dice, by 144150 sides per die lol. Overkill much?
Well, I managed to top that by entering a googleplex dice, by a googleplex sides per die. Obviously your RB  Dice was no match for the power of Jaidon Overkill Vincent lol. Keep it up man.

A little more advice from me:
for the download link in post number 1, it is better to provide a link that opens the rbstudios.ml site, and not the game file download link directly.
On that website you can provide information about the size of the game file, the progress of the game update as well as the latest version number that is available, as well as other important things about this game.
Now this game is still small, because it is only the initial version.
But in the future, this game will definitely develop into bigger right?
For this reason, information about the size of the game file becomes very important when later the size of this game becomes larger.
It can also be a good promotion for your website.
Or other options,
You can regularly edit the title of this topic and also post number 1 when a new version update is available.
Of course that's so everyone can quickly find out if there are updates when they visit the new release page.
Just a small suggestion,
But the choice remains in your hands.

Enjoy all that the Lord has given in your life, and share with as many people as possible.

@rory-games Congratulations on the release!! Looking forward to giving it a go!
@Rio Aryo Great advice!

Yo folks. Well thanks @30, yeah, I played the voice for Swamp, although Kai did an amazing work when editing it.
Best regards, Haramir.

I would really like a more long term game something with the option of saving progress. I know that that is not what was in your plans for this game, but i like the idea of having bigger goals to work toward. I also think that we either need a few big cash purchases, or the econimy needs to be rebalanced, otherwise the game will continue to be too easy. Thank you for reading, and thank you for having the patience to work on a farm symulator, because this is the game i have always wanted. Maybe going  forward we could add a couple of other things that are on real life farms, like markets, food stands, horse racing, etc. Not sure how far you wanted to take this, but i could come up with ideas all day. I was tempted to code years ago, because i wanted a farming game, but you've saved me the trouble smile. Stay safe out there and keep up the good work.

Who am I? Simply me!

hi guys,
Thanks very much for all the positive feedback!
I understand that the economy is unbalanced. as such I will be making it harder. If you have farm sounds, drop me a pm, and say you have in this topic.
Workers will be added, but not for what you think they'll be added for.
Also, the new update contains the following:
buf fix for that animal buying bug I think.
Number system, so in stead of saying, apple tree, cow, cow, cow, cow, cow, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, it'll say something like, apple tree, 3 cow, 7 chicken. this should make the game less flooded with speech.
Shift j and l to jump to the beginning/end of your animal list.

2020-04-15 11:10:37

hi all,
for those who didn't watch my stream before, I did show off what I have added to the latest update, so check that out if you havn't already. I'm going to be releasing a short coding stream in a couple minutes, so if you want to see me code live and make some suggestions that I can most likely instantly implement, now is the time to do it. the stream iwll last about 20 minutes or so and I'll be adding new things before finally releasing the update to the public.

2020-04-15 11:16:18 (edited by Corona 2020-04-15 11:19:36)

nice start, this has a lot of potential if you give it enough atention.
You could manage to do a really big game on the time if you focus your eforts in it and you keep working on it. think on it as a progect for the future, you are doing something that a lot of player wanted to have before, and you can do it really well.
I think I can also help with some sounds, let me see what can I find.
Maybe you can take some inspiration on the old facebook game farm ville, that was a good farm simulator, and it was something we were unable to play.
good luck and go ahead!

2020-04-15 11:32:01

thanks! as luck might have it, you made this post about 10 minutes before the next update is released. it's now ready for download. also, I'm re writing post 1 to reflect the changes.

2020-04-15 13:23:32

Hi.
I've already dropped you an email to help with sounds yesterday, it will be also great to translate the thing as well if you wish.
I'm a spanish native speaker, so I can do it when you think its the time haha.

Take care.
Mike.

I can help with sounds as well! I got some recordings and things, plus I could make some kind of music when you needed to persecute and chase animals, that will give the game some movement, (though I really also like the relaxed aspect of it, not all games need to be about grueling action and running all the time). This is actually a pretty fun game. Also,not sure if you have checked it out before, but in the developer's room there is a sticky post with sound resources . Some of what is being posted there, including sounds from zapsplat are farm ones. I also saw this one the other day but apparently its down now. Not sure if the bbc sound fx library would be a legal thing to use, as it says that sound can be used for personal, education or research use only but they have wonderful ones there.
quick edit> Just remembered this one with lots of hq farm sounds

Hi and sorry for double posting, but when my animals breeded another one and I hit k to insta move my cursor to one of them, the window closed.

Take care.

2020-04-15 15:20:09

Gosh, noooooo.
Getting cash is even harder in this latest updateiiii!
Just imagine, a sheep that normally could produce 2 cash, now can only produce 0.5 cash!

Enjoy all that the Lord has given in your life, and share with as many people as possible.

2020-04-15 16:35:03

Hi.
I actually loved the new difficulty introduced in this new thing. Don't you?
Otherwise, it was too easy to go spending cash like mad.

Take care.
Mike.

2020-04-16 01:50:30

muahahaha, you guys asked for more difficulty, I gave it to you.
In all seriousness: thanks for the email, I'll check it out after virtual school.
I'd also be happy to translate the game into spanish and any other language someone is available to translate it to
I also have language code in pb so that shouldn't be too difficult.
I'll look into the animal breeding insta move bug - can you try and reproduce it in a recording?

2020-04-16 02:54:19

nice game rory: I can also help with sound editing as wel if you want

Nice little game, one suggestion however.
When typing trees, cash, or any of the options, so they don't have to be lowercase, you can do'
If LCase(Goal) = "trees"
  ; Code
; Other code (similar for other goals)
EndIf
This will make it so the goals can be yped in any case and read the same.

2020-04-17 02:23:58

yes, that's a good idea.

2020-04-18 04:40:01

I have waited years for this kind of game!
Thank you for working on it and making it a reality!
