About Ultimate Farmer
Ultimate Farmer is a farming simulation project in development, focused on delivering a grounded and technically ambitious experience shaped by realism, player input, and long-term expandability. Instead of recreating what already exists, we’re exploring what a modern farming simulator can truly become, starting from the soil up. The game will prioritise physics-driven systems, flexible gameplay, and meaningful interaction with terrain, crops, and machinery. Every feature is being considered with depth and authenticity in mind.
Our progress
-
Concept & Vision
The initial idea for *Ultimate Farmer* took shape—defining what a modern farming simulator could look like with realistic systems, deeper physics, and modular gameplay.
-
Pre-Development
We’re currently planning, experimenting, and laying the technical groundwork. Focus areas include soil behaviour, crop cycles, machinery physics, and overall game structure. We’re also gathering collaborators and early feedback.
-
Prototype & Internal Testing
A playable prototype will be built to validate core systems such as field interaction, driving mechanics, and growth logic. Internal testing will begin with selected contributors.
-
Community Beta
Once stable, a beta version will be shared with a limited group of testers for structured feedback and refinement. This stage will focus on performance, balance, and usability.
-
Public Roadmap & Expansion
New features, modes, and collaborations will be shaped by player input. Future updates will include expanded equipment, multiplayer planning, and integration of modding tools.
-
Launch Planning
When the game meets the standard we’re aiming for, we’ll announce full release plans—including distribution, platform support, and long-term support strategy.
Core Gameplay Foundations
The first version of Ultimate Farmer will focus on six essential systems: managing land, operating realistic machinery, cultivating crops, selling harvests, experiencing weather and time cycles, and expanding farms. Together these create a full gameplay loop that feels authentic yet accessible.
Land Management System
Players can buy, own, and manage parcels of land.
Basic terrain editing (plowing, cultivating, seeding).
Crop growth cycles linked to soil state and time.
Economy & Sales
Basic marketplace to sell harvested crops.
Prices fluctuate slightly to simulate demand.
Simple money loop: sell crops → buy fuel, seeds, and small upgrades.
Machinery Operation & Physics
Core farming machines (tractor, plow, seeder, harvester).
Realistic machine handling with weight, traction, and fuel consumption.
Attachments that interact with soil and crops.
Weather & Time System
Day-night cycle.
Simple weather (sun, rain, overcast) that affects growth and harvesting conditions.
Seasons framework prepared for later updates
Crop Cultivation Loop
Planting → growing → harvesting → storage.
Starter crops: wheat, barley, corn.
Yields affected by soil preparation and weather conditions.
Player Progression & Farm Expansion
Unlock new fields, better equipment, or small buildings as money grows.
Starter progression is tied to crop yields and machine upgrades.
Simple save/load system for continuity.
