Official Podcast, April 8th, 2011

Hey Guys, Be The First To This With Your Friends



Coming Soon Spoiler!

So let’s get to the coming soon segment of this week’s podcast. We have more quests coming to the English Countryside in the next few weeks, which should prove just as interesting and exciting as the previous quests we’ve released so far.
In the coming weeks we’ll be making a few changes to your gameplay experience, including revamping the first-time user experience for new players and adding a “building parts cursor” mode. If that sounds a little confusing, don’t worry! It’s basically a very fancy way of saying that it’ll make using building materials a whole lot easier on the farm.
A new Spring Basket is coming for those Flowers that you’ll now be collecting from the Spring Garden, with a set of items you can redeem them with. Some revisions are coming to the Pig Pen as well; changes we think you’re going to like a lot.

The next podcast is scheduled for April 22nd, 2011.
