A Message to Our Growing Community

The recent reaction to Ultimate Farmer has been far beyond anything we could have anticipated. The project’s early reveal sparked significant attention across multiple platforms, reaching hundreds of thousands of players and inspiring creators to share their own takes on what the next generation of farming sims could look like.

It’s clear that the community has been waiting for change, for something more technical, more grounded, and more ambitious within the simulation genre. The feedback we’ve seen so far reflects a balance of genuine enthusiasm and healthy skepticism, both of which we value equally.

From the comments and community analysis shared online, several consistent expectations have emerged. Many players want to experience more realistic physics and terrain behaviour, where soil reacts to machinery, traction matters, and ground conditions change with weather and repeated use but most importantly modding support. Others have spoken about the need for genuine competition in the genre, a project that can push boundaries and inspire innovation across the industry. There is an overwhelmingly strong interest in seeing next-generation visuals and technology, with Unreal Engine offering the potential for a more lifelike and responsive environment that enhances immersion.

These discussions closely align with what we are exploring in the early design phase. They confirm that the priorities we’ve outlined so far, focusing on realism, depth, and long-term systems, are shared by a large part of the player base.

We also recognise the understandable caution among players. Many have referenced ambitious projects in the past that struggled to deliver on their promises, and concerns about AI-generated imagery or early-stage concepts are understandable. Ultimate Farmer remains in pre-development, self-funded and driven by a small team of passionate creators, modders, and enthusiasts who share a vision for what the next generation of farming simulation could become.

We’re sharing these early concepts not for promotion, but to invite discussion and feedback at a stage where ideas can still evolve. We are taking time to test, plan, and validate before making commitments. This is not a marketing exercise; it’s a development journey built on transparency and collaboration.

The response to Ultimate Farmer has proven something important. The farming sim community is ready for change and wants to see a project that focuses on depth, realism, and new levels of technical ambition. Whether this takes three years or ten, what matters most is creating solid foundations that can support meaningful progress over time.

We’ll continue to share updates as development moves forward, focusing on honesty and clarity in everything we publish. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your ideas, and your belief in this project. You’re helping to shape what comes next.
