Hello everyone!
After months of anticipation, Lust’n’Farm is back with an all-new, more stable version than ever!
Given the wait, I don't need to explain just how challenging it was to review (yet again...) all of the game’s code to fix and optimize it. But the results are in: memory usage has dropped from over 10GB to just under 1GB. While this wasn’t “too” bad on newer PCs, it made the game unplayable on more modest setups.
I won’t go into too many details, but since the very architecture of the code has been entirely redone, some features aren’t ready yet—like adjustable text speed, which is now set to instant. For saves, there’s a small step to keep them compatible with the new version!
This work isn’t fully done yet. There are still optimization options on the table (now that I know what I’m doing!), and in restoring the game to its original render quality, the file size has gone up again to over 3GB. I’d like to lower this or at least avoid further increases in the future. But aside from that, I have plenty of ideas to keep improving the game experience, which I’ll outline below.
As for new content, I’ve been progressing on a few scenes between coding crises, and if all goes well, there should be an update as soon as next week.
Regarding the Android Version: This isn’t my top priority right now, but it’s still in the plan. With the game’s optimization, I finally (finally!) managed to compile an app. It’s not working yet, so there’s still work to do, but progress is being made. Not giving up hope!
Here’s a List of Changes:
Lust’n’Farm 2.6 (Global Release)
Changes:
-
New Save System*** (see detailed instructions below for saving your old data)
-
Autosave System! Every day an autosave is made in the morning
- Unlocking Love/Dom Animated Scenes: go directly to the gallery and click the locks instead of going to Olga
- Added an animation for day transitions
- The character’s name now appears in the family tree
- You can now pass the time with the hourglass in all areas
Known Bugs:
- Issue with high-quality crops (chances are too high)
- Rare bug at the farm where a field becomes unusable after clearing. If this happens, the only solutions are either loading an earlier save and clearing the field or reaching bankruptcy (which resets all fields)
- Sometimes moaning sounds persist after animated scenes. Reloading the game will fix this.
Upcoming Changes:
- Adjustable text speed
- Ability to adjust moaning sounds during animated scenes
- Option to use keyboard keys to advance the game
Coming Soon in Early Access
- New animated scene with Olga
- New animated scene with Tiga
- New animated scene with Ornella
- New “quick” scenes with Lisa, Berry, Ninie, and Leslie
(***) To continue your save, you’ll need to download the "bridge" version, which lets you save your old game under the new system. To do this:
- Download the bridge version
- Launch the game
- Load your game (old save)
- Save this game (you’ll see the new interface)
- Close the game
- Launch the new version
- That’s it! And whether it works or not, all feedback is welcome!
Don’t forget that the best place to report bugs and other issues is the Lust’n’Farm Discord. I’m on there daily and usually respond fairly quickly! Every reported bug is a bug that will get fixed.
Thanks again for your support, and stay tuned!
