Blocky Farming Devlog #1!

What is Blocky Farming? (I'm new)

Blocky Farming is a small Retro Roblox farming simulator experience where you can build and expand your farm! wow

This area will be expanded a bit more, I’m really terrible at descriptions! :3

Hello, friends,

Today is the first devlog for a small experience I’m creating! In this devlog, I will be listing all of the amazing updates and features that we’ve created/changed! (This is also my first devlog, so feedback is appreciated) :blue_heart:

Today is not the first day of this experience, I’m going to skip all of the boring details (I’m sure you rather watch paint dry)!


New Features & Changes.

Gameplay Updates
Cooler Dirt 😎 (8x8)

8x8 Dirt has been added!

This means profit will increase (depending on the seed) if you plant it in an 8x8 patch!

Gamepad/Console Support!

After… 5 hour of coding (embarrassing… right?) the base gamepad system has been added, along with a tip frame for those users!

Demo Video:

As you can see in the video, I never harvested any crops! (That’s because I’m too lazy to add the crop harvesting system back into the game) :zzz:

Player Data

The player’s data is now saved, yup epix, I know!

Plant Changes 🌱

Plants will now sparkle when they’re finished growing!

:arrow_double_up: Other Changes :arrow_double_up:


The player will now hold out the selected tool they’re using! This feature is about 90% finished (and a whole 0% testing went into it)! The player will hold out the watering can if they’re watering crops, and a seed packet if they’re planting them!

UI Changes

A massive UI change has been added, it actually looks pretty nice now!

Before:

After:

Personally, I think this small change is much needed! UI-Design can really spice up the gameplay.

New Developer!

Just hired @cowboy_master13 to create some crops for the experience! Check out the “New Crop(s)” section to see his awesome creations!

Thank you for your feedback!

I’m really happy to see that people are enjoying my DevLogs, especially because it’s my first!

Hopefully the experience should be coming out soon!

Good Morning, Friends! :blue_heart:

The DevLog has been updated a bit, so feel free to read it if you want!

(If you don’t read it, just note that your Robloxian will be help hostage :))

Most importantly, this update brought out GamePad/Console support!

Another epic update (as seen in the video), is the epic (90%) finished tool system!

I’m also thinking of changing the name of the experience once I think of an idea! Once the name is chosen, a logo will be made for the experience!

Really nice so far, the text for the console UI though could be made clearer (white with black outline)?

I agree with you, should be fixed by the next devlog! :sweat_smile:

Thank you for the suggestions and the feedback, friend! :blue_heart:
