Bug Fixes and improvements
- Decreased video memory usage by about 30% – depending on your farm configuration, if you had before a 750MB giant maxed out farm, now it’s below 500 MB. Now the game can run even on mobile phones, in our tests! Although, obviously, the UI is currently not optimized for that. But on tablets with a mouse, certainly it should run OK. AND, we have a few more optimizations to do.
- Improved animations for selling with the Train
- Improved a few Orders graphics
- Animations for the HUD buttons going on/off are way faster, as originally intended.
- All Gear with selectors now have bigger popups, so you can easily select what you make. We now have the same layout for 3 types of Gear: Kitchen type (that uses Power), Complex Gear (like the Sauce Wiz), and Simpler Gear (that you “add 3”, like the Cheese Master)
So, what have we been up to? (Developer Notes)
Well, during the last few (actually, many) months, we’ve been really busy with two big things: bringing you several quality-of-life improvements and preparing for the Facebook migration towards Instant Games. We received notice that we can migrate the existing game, including Neighbors, game IDs, and more, to Instant Games, so we’ve been getting ready for that.
We originally estimated this would take just 2 weeks. But here we are, 6 months later, finally wrapping it up. Why so long? Because it turned into a complete rewrite of much of the game’s interface. Rewriting an existing game is harder than starting from scratch, since everything ties deep into existing code. The game has tons of usability features that make farming easier for you, but much trickier for us to maintain (though still fun, since we play the game too).
It’s like replacing the pollen filter in certain cars: you think it’s just one panel, but then another is in the way, which connects to the dashboard, and before you know it you’ve taken apart the whole car just to change a filter.
The workload was massive, like developing several events back-to-back. And because the changes ran so deep, we couldn’t even push small updates. There were literally hundreds of tasks that had to be completed.
We still have to update the XP and Neighbors sections, but those will take less time since they’re mostly cosmetic changes.
Was this really necessary? Absolutely.
Here’s why:
- You now have many new quality-of-life features that make the game more fun and easier to use than ever, like search and the new planting shop.
- The Shop and Barn interface can now adapt to many screen sizes, big or small. To change layout, click on the little 4 squares icon bottom left in the Shop and Barn windows.
- All your produce is now displayed bigger and sharper, with many redesigned or upscaled icons.
- Facebook is sunsetting Web Games at the end of 2026. They notified us that we can migrate the game to Instant Games (their current game store), which means more Neighbors and easier discoverability for our Facebook players.
During this long stretch, we also found time to work on two big updates (Update 3/3 and another highly requested one), both of which turned out to be much higher quality than we originally planned.
We’ll be releasing one of them next, but we don’t ship updates just for the sake of it. We keep working until everything is as close to perfect as possible, although we can’t wait to share it with you!
Happy farming!
