Tried to load page, got stuck on progress bar. Linux/firefox

Doesn’t work on mobile sadly, but I do love (the Swiss) Farming Sims :P I’ll give it a go on desktop later and give some feedback.

I blew up the tractor and paid 10k for hospital treatment. I know the NHS is on its knees but sheesh

It's going to be a spreadsheet and a bunch of impenetrable PDFs, isn't it?

Very cool! Just as constructive feedback, I feel like the physics could improve a bit (walking through the wheels and buckets, seeing the contents inside the garage but not seeing anything when under the silos etc.), but the details are great, love the mud on the tractor tracks when leaving a field, and the car beams when blocking the path.

Maybe this could be good but it needs a lot of optimization. A top down 2D game really shouldn't be that slow even in a browser. It's also very unclear what to do at the start. I only played for a few minutes because I didn't really know where to begin. My only comparison would be to Harvest Moon or Stardew valley where you're given some tasks immediately to get you started. Even a very short intro would help a lot to just get you started on the first game mechanics. Without anything to do a lot of people are just going to bounce off of it especially since moving around the world is so sluggish that it isn't even fun to just walk around and explore the farm.

can I choose Lambo as tractor?

I wanted to close the "email me" window and reflexivly clicked on the "X"... :D

I'm def going to sit down and try this out today but perhaps you could move the "mobile support" alert to happen before the asset loading progress bar :)

I gave up as soon as I saw the slow moving loading bar. You need to really prioritize getting the player to something interesting on screen as quickly as possible and then loading things in the background. A few seconds is all you get in this world, if you don’t sieze it, you’re internet roadkill.

I can't walk :D

It could have told me that the game doesn't work on mobile before downloading all the assets

Kinda reminds me of SimFarm, from back in the early 90's! Anyone else have fond memories of SimFarm?

Firefox/Ubuntu I can't seem to move my farmer: clicking does nothing and arrow keys also don't move him.

Looks like every other claude game and it's laggy to the point I just closed it immediately.

the walking WASD controls don't work on my AZERTY keyboard

When I tried to cultivate a field, it said it would say it was already cultivated. If I tried to roller it, it would say it needed cultivating first.

bennettpompi1

why does it take a billion years to load the assets lmao

This is cool and all but the controls don't work on my laptop. I keep going up.

shift+arrows should run. It's quite slow to move around. Kudos on the development.
