Hey everyone!

I've been working loads on the new farmers' market feature over the last few weeks. It's not quite finished yet so there's no download link right now, but I can give you early access to the next devlog video: https://youtu.be/Ld9qvxoaB6Y

If you're just looking to see a demonstration of the farmers' market in action, you can watch from 16:05 onward in the video.

Let me know what you think!

Is the time scale during the game as we’ve been playing it what it will be in the final game? Crops grow really fast. I wonder how that compares to the weekly market periodicity. I feel slightly stressed when I play.

Off topic, and I hope this isn't too personal, but how is the running working out for you, given your past health issues?

It's going well thanks! I haven't noticed much of a difference to how it was before the lung operations. If anything, the health issues motivated me to get fitter than I was before. I even ran my first half-marathon last year :) Nowadays I mostly just do 10km runs, but I would like to do another half-marathon again soon.

All the plants lie on a scale from cheapest to most expensive, from the cheaper ones which grow very fast and need lots of work, to the most expensive ones that take much longer to grow and require less attention. I think right now the slowest takes around 20 mins or something to grow, but in the finished game there will be many more plants with even slower growth cycles. The player can choose where on this scale they want to "invest" their money. The cheaper, quicker growing plants are actually the most profitable, but require loads of work. So you have to balance how much work you can do, with how much profit you want to make. If you're finding it too stressful then you probably want to invest slightly further up the scale (in more expensive seeds). Not only will those plants require less looking after, but you also require less crops to fully invest your money (e.g. if you put all your money into cabbage seeds you'll have way less crops to grow than if you put all your money into wheat seeds. It's less profitable though). As you make more money in the game you'll naturally be forced to go up the scale as it becomes too much work to look after so many cheap fast growing crops. Upgrading your tools/compost allows you to move back down the scale a bit (which is in turn more profitable) as that allows you to do more work per minute and therefore handle more crops at once. So essentially, you can choose how stressful it is. And it's a balancing act: give yourself too little work and you won't make profit as fast as you could, but give yourself too much work and you'll not be able to keep all your plants at full health. So buy your seeds carefully ;)
