Look back and Progress Report

Hello Cryptid Farmers!

First of all, we have reached over 8000 plays and 13k views. I'm so very happy you've all enjoyed playing the game! I'm always checking the analytics and it's always exciting to see that there are still players after such a long time. The game has been out for around 5 months now and I'm really pleased with how well it's done.

To that end, I'm continuing development with Cryptid Farm (in what I'm calling Season 2!). There are plenty of ideas circulating for what can improve the game and I've been reading all of the ideas in the comments and the Discord group feedback, determining the best ways to make the game way more full of content and exciting. I've spent the last week or so re-writing a lot of the code to work with future updates easier.

Here are some screenshots of my progress!

I've remade the upgrade menu! The stats system is far more accessible now, both in code and in game. The new stat "Life insurance" will save your upgrades when you die! (but your money is still forfeit)

I'm adding a crop selection menu! Allowing me to add a much larger selection of crops to grow.

Finally this is the latest part I've been working on, the market space! It will open and close on a regular schedule and let you buy new seeds for new crops!

All of these are WIP screenshots, but I'm sure you can already see how they're going to work with the base game well. After I finish all these extra crops and farming gameplay, we can start looking towards some new cryptid content ;)

As always, if you have any ideas for Cryptid Farm, leave it in the comments or put it in the Cryptid Farm discord group! Cheers!
