Road Map

[Jimi]

Thank you everyone for a great launch into Early Access and all the thoughtful comments and suggestions. I've been reading all the forums and trying my best to reply when possible. I'm glad ACRES is being well enjoyed and excited to continue development.

This is a road map of how I'm currently thinking about and planning future updates. It's by no means a fixed or bindable timeline; It is mostly for me to manage new features and requests reasonably as a full time solo developer and also provide an insight into the development. I'll be updating this progressively, so expect items to be added, removed and pushed around.

Going into EA, I wanted ACRES to start with a great core and stable gameplay loop. Now that we are here, the road to 1.0 will be focused on developing deeper mechanics, extending playtime and provide tools to help get those fields more manageable at scale.

Feel free to continue posting in the forums with additional feedback and suggestions. It's been a pleasure interacting with such a positive community

Happy Farming!

Wow, nice!

I will continue to play the game and test out all the new stuff you are adding. It's also nice to see that you have thought of stuff I didn't even consider, like greenhouses and trees! I thought about hiring workers but I thought it would be too complicated to add. Looking forward to trying out all the new stuff coming! I'm checking in on steam daily to see if there are updates :)

It is so so nice to see a developer being this hands on and listening to the players, keep up the good work!

The roadmap looks really promising. Thanks for sharing your plans.

I've only owned the game for a few days but I'm really impressed. Loving it so far.

You seem to have tapped into a really compelling gameplay loop, somehow. I always wanted to like the Farming Simulator games but they felt repetitive and tedious to me in practice: yours seems to boil farming down to its essence and is all the better for it.
