Hey Farmers!
Alright, so a few things.
First, I just wanna thank everyone who left their opinions and cast their votes for the previous poll! I wanted to see what opinions were on the matter and I wasn't expecting to be lucky enough to get so many people to share their voice. It's really nice knowing how many of you care where the project goes with each update!
However, secondly, I want to correct some mistakes I made.
First, I had a few people who men...

Hey Farmers!
So, originally, the dialogue portraits were originally meant to be temporary stand-ins, but a few people have expressed being rather attached to them. As such, it only seems fair to put matters up to a vote!
I want to know, do you all prefer a pixelated style that uses the same palette as the rest of the game to fit with the style better, or would y'all prefe...

HEY FARMERS!
I've been working on a lot of under-the-hood changes that should come with the fourth major build! So in the downtime between big builds, I wanted to highlight some of the "polish" that'll come for anyone who's interested in seeing behind the curtain. As well as a few teasers for the bigger features to expect!

I wanted to have the new build ready by today so that I could share it with everyone as my own birthday gift to myself, but the dang camera system needs to be redone from scratch because it keeps bugging out with the new build.
So, unfortunately, I'll need a few more days than expected to have it working properly. Really sorry to have to delay it for everyone who's excited for it!
Hopefully the delay won't be too long. I still want to have it ready within this next week!

PROGRESS IS BEING MADE!
I know it's been a long wait for the build! Currently I'm completely redoing the dialogue system so as to be less clunky and not glitch out with the addition of more and more dialogue, since extra interactions with each of the girls will be a top priority moving forward.
This has, of course, increased the scope of the update quite a bit. However, the barn is just about done, Candace's animations (and now portrait!) are just about done.

Hey farmers!
Progress on Build 0.0.3.0 is still very much under way! Candace's animations are about half done, the feeding minigame is just about done, and the barn is finally being renovated!
However, in the meantime to help bridge the gap, I just wanted to cover a few questions that I've seen pretty consistently asked! Hopefully this'll help shed a little light on anything y'all have wondered about with the project.

Hey everyone!
Seeing as the scope of this third major build has gone a bit further past what I first expected, I figured it was only fair to keep everyone updated on what was coming. I'd have liked to get the update in everyone's hands by now, but I'm afraid I'll need a bit more time to put in everything that I wanted to have ready.
As you can see above, though, one of the major new features, the new feeding minigame, is coming along nicely!

Looks like the girls got a bit out of hand at the dinner today.
Who can blame them? Candace is one heck of a cook.

Hey Farmers!
Might use this as a new format to just quickly give folks a peek at what's coming next in the builds to come!
So far, a lot of people have requested more in-between states of the current sizes. While I had plans for at least one more larger size, I wasn't sure how to incorporate more in-betweens.
However, I think I've come to a solution that some folks might like, bloated states!
Whenever you overfeed your cows, they will reach a bloated s...

AT LAST, A DRAWING! \o/ Was feeling super rusty, so it was nice to get to sit down and actually work on some proper art, but don't worry, it's still for the game!
Portraits are coming to Gorge Valley! What do y'all think? I'd like to have some sort of thing like this where these portraits pop up when you click on the gals to check their stats.
Might even do one for every size of them, just so you can always check in on how they're sizing up with all that care you've given them!

The most recent builds have been released for a bit now, and lower tier patrons have finally gotten to try the first build, so I figured now's a good time for the dev log of what's planned for the next major build.
First, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who's played, supported, and shared feedback for the project so far.
