Farm 3.0 is almost ready!
Dear Gardeners,
As a promise to our beloved users, Farm 3.0, with a considerable amount of effort from our dedicated Devs and Artists, is almost ready. We will conduct a few short tests before delivering it live to you guys. If everything goes according to plan, Farm 3.0 will be released around the end of this year. Thank you all, for your faith in us, and your effort in making the next step a reality.
Here are some of changes to Farm 3.0 that we would like to showcase:
Changes
Sapling/Mama will be removed entirely (Including shop, inventory, or being planted) after the release of Farm 3.0; all Saplings/Mamas that are currently owned will be converted to "Powder".
The current uses and features of Sapling/Mama will be changed:
In place of the current Sapling/Mama system, a new Sapling/Mama system with different variations will be released. Specifically, Saplings/Mamas will now be seasonally diversified, with 3 main seasons: Spring, Summer, and Autumn. In the harsh Winter of the PVU Continent, no specie of plant can survive nor thrive; instead, there will be other exciting activities to enjoy.
Seasonal Sapling/Mama can only be planted during their respective season.
All variation of Saplings/Mamas can be found in the foraging minigame; Saplings/Mamas can no longer be purchased from the in-game shop.
On rainy days, plants do not need to be watered.
All current stats of plants will be replaced.
Element’s synergy will be removed.
Minigames
The minigames are among the most fantastic features we can’t wait to share with all of you in the Farm 3.0 release. With minigames, we aim to diversify the activities in the game, changing the playstyle from a passive experience with simple, uninvolved activities, such as planting or uprooting plants, to a more active playstyle with a menagerie of activities, each with its own mechanic and reward, such as Fishing, Mining, Foraging, etc. Through this, we hope that the game can bring endless engagement between players and their farm, signifying the unique experience that Farm 3.0 shall bring to all players of the game, from the initiate to the veteran of the game.
Now, let us take a look at the various Minigames and prepare for the much anticipated release of Farm 3.0:
1. Fishing
Items which can be found in the Fishing minigame: 3 types of fish with 3 corresponding rarities, keys – which are required to proceed to the next level, and Sunken Treasure – mysterious gift boxes, and Undead Eggs.
2. Mining
Items which can be found in the Mining minigame: 3 types of stones with 3 corresponding rarities, key – which are required to proceed to the next level, and Undead Eggs.
3. Foraging
Items which can be found in the Foraging minigame: 3 types of woods with 3 corresponding rarities, key – which are required to proceed to the next level, and Undead Eggs.
Notes:
Each travel bag can only contain 10 items before reaching maximum capacity.
Items earned from minigames can be listed on the marketplace and used for trading.
The system will remove all items that are not collected during the minigame. Therefore, as a suggestion, explorers should select carefully and pick up the items with the highest value to optimize profit.
This was a short glimpse into the beginning of Farm 3.0; more exciting new features will be added to PVU: Farm in later updates. Thanks for your attention and faith in us so far, after the rain, comes double rainbows all the way across the sky!
