After washing ashore on Softshoal Island, you are given a chance at a new life. A plot of land awaits your green thumb to transform it into a booming farm, and a new world beckons you to explore its secrets.
Farm Folks offers a delightful mix of RPG and farming mechanics, giving you the freedom to get lost in the world while you build a farm from the ground up. There are many friends to be made, many crops and animals to tend, and a whole island to discover. What are you waiting for?
It wouldn’t be much of a farming simulator without farming, would it? Farm Folks features the time-tested farming mechanic in which players can purchase or forage seeds and begin to grow their farm into a bountiful and rewarding resource.
it's our goal to introduce somewhere around 60 juicy crops for our players to rake in that sweet, sweet digital profit. Crops and other grow-ables will be divided into 4 categories - spring, summer, fall, and winter. This means certain crops can only be grown in specific times of the year, read more on farming below.
Animals are an important part of any world, giving the land life and personality. Plus, they're just dang cute! The animals and critters of Farm Folks are a big part of our game, and we want to make sure that the player feels a strong bond with their pets and livestock.
Otto, the local fisherman of Port Meridia, would call it a crime if you couldn't bait your rod and cast it to the blue in a place like this! Fishing is one of the most relaxing activities in Softshoal, and a popular pastime in Port Meridia thanks to the surrounding seas and rivers.
All crops need basic care, but they'll need special attention to produce the best yield. You'll need to learn which type of fertilizer and water each crop loves best. Some crops grant special bonuses to others around them, adding an element of strategy to crop composition and farm layout.
There’s beauty and intrigue to be found in every corner of Softshoal Island. It's a compelling place that calls the player ever further into its woodland groves, long beaches, and dangerous caves. As you explore, you’ll see things that you’ll never forget and experience adventures worth re-telling.
And where better to relay your stories of green-thumbed heroism than back in Port Meridia? This fair-sized town has plenty of places to kick back and enjoy a day away from the farm, but it’s also home to the many festivals that you don’t want to miss!
Starting this month, we will be introducing the NPCs that will populate a diverse Farm Folks world. In Farm Folks, you’ll find yourself on islands isolated by the ocean. Though separated, these islands will connect the overarching world by bridges. The world we have in mind is pretty big, meaning that there will be plenty of points of interest scattered throughout areas such as forests, deserts, caves, and mountains. We will share more about the world of Farm Folks in our future updates. Make sure to sign up to our email newsletter here if you don’t want to miss it!
Ricardo is a former military airplane pilot who crashed on the island 17 years ago. He was saved by a local man named Mikkel who was hiking near the crash site when it happened. Nurse Hanna had to amputate Ricardo’s right leg as it was severely damaged during the crash. Years after the crash, Ricardo opened his own bread bakery in town. He works solo and always opens his store at 7 o’clock in the morning and closes it at 3 pm. Everyone in town not only enjoys fresh buttery bread but also the smell from the ovens that can be experienced miles away from the bakery.
Initial Character Explorations
Ricardo holds letters from his only daughter. His daughter decided to travel around the world after the death of her mother. She’s been traveling for a while and always sends Ricardo letters, describing her journeys, encounters, etc.
The second concept iteration looked a bit too Lumberjack-ish,
so we went back to the drawing board!
Ricardo knows that his daughter is fine; she is smart, mature, and very creative. But Ricardo misses her and wants to recover letters that still might be in the abandoned airplane in the middle of the forest. He tried reaching the crash site on multiple occasions, but his prosthetic leg limits his mobility and he is too prideful to ask anyone for help.
Now we're talking! He looks more like the Ricardo we'll come to know
Ricardo has a best friend, Mr. Whistler, that he carries on his shoulder at all times. Mr. Whistler is a parrot that flew into Ricardo’s apartment one day. For some reason, the bird never left and stayed with Ricardo. It might be because Ricardo is entertaining, despite his shyness, or it could be the bread that he bakes.
Meet Ricardo
Occupation: Local baker, former military pilot
Typical outfit: Jeans, boots, rolled up sleeves, apron, and a beanie with the hair poking out from underneath
Dream/Goals: See his daughter again and somehow retrieve her letters at the plane crash site

This is just a little snippet about who Ricardo is. You’ll be able to learn more about Ricardo in the game, starting with retrieving his daughter’s letters from the crash site. A bit of advice: if you want to get to know Ricardo, it’s probably best that you become friends with Mr. Whistler first. That grumpy bird will actually change the color of his feathers based on his relationship with you. The happier he is, the brighter he will appear.
We hope you enjoyed this first NPC feature for Farm Folks! We hope you like Ricardo as much as we do and we can’t wait to share more stories for upcoming characters. We want to give you some insight into the NPCs, but we won’t spoil everything, of course.
We also want to add that most of the characters in-game are going to be romanceable with no particular gender preferences. We will allow you to create the relationships of your dreams and how they unfold is up to you.
