Farm Folks

Farm Folks is an upcoming agricultural simulation built on Unreal Engine 4, and is developed by Australian developer, Overgrown. Farm Folks is inspired by games such as Harvest Moon, where the player takes on the role of a farmer by growing crops and raising livestock. It is slated for official release in 2019 for the PC, with plans for release to the consoles at a future date.

About
Farm Folks is set in a fictional location of Port Meridia on the island of Softshoal, where the player was washed ashore from a vicious storm. On the island, the player is given a plot of land for agricultural purposes, such as growing crops and raising livestock. The player can befriend the inhabitants of Softshoal Island, including Mayor Snodgrass, Della, Gilbert, and Lenorah. Other activities include mining and fishing.

Development
Development of the game started on Unity and was pushed out for pre-Alpha in 2017, until the game was taken down from the Humble store. A year and a half later, the developers completely rebuilt the game on a new engine and with better style, becoming financially successful within the first seven days.

Kickstarter
A Kickstarter began on June 26, 2018, allowing backers to pledge a set amount to help reach the goal of AU$50,000 (approximately US$37,000) by July 26, 2018. By backing the game, the backer can receive a full digital download of Farm Folks, with additional rates for higher tier rewards, including Alpha access.
