Short story; Amazing game 10/10
Long story; I'm a professional software developer of like 15 years. I've worked in many different languages and in general because I code so much for work I've really lost that sense of fun and passion I used to have while coding. This game brought that back.
I don't even know how properly to describe it. It's kinda like a more complex cookie clicker but you program the clicker and can get as clever as you'd like about it. It gives me the same satisfaction as a game like factorio while really letting me dig into the mechanics and rewrite the rules of how I'm "supposed" to play.
This game is a must have for software developers imo. Make programming fun again- do it in an environment that actually rewards you for clever, efficient code.
Kind of awesome, a great example of gamification where the player feels like he is just having fun but is actually learning basic programming principles and some basic python. I only wish i could choose from additional programming languages, then i would happily play the whole game again in e.g. c++
Hey everyone! We’re incredibly excited to finally announce that The Miner Was Replaced, the DLC for The Farmer Was Replaced, will release on November 2! 🎉 https://store.steampowered.com/app/4521700/The_Miner_Was_Replaced/ As the name already suggests, this time we’re leaving the farm behind and heading underground. Instead of growing and harvesting crops, you’ll be digging through the world, collecting new resources and solving new programming challenges along the way. The DLC adds a brand-new section to the unlock tree with plenty of new things to discover. Mine resources like coal and quartz, sort mushrooms, grow rice on clay, solve a Minesweeper-inspired challenge, and much more. ⛏️🍄 We’re really excited to finally show you more of what we’ve been working on! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42555169/48737aa165b8759c645ca92331db8ce3e178453f.gif 🧪 Want to help us playtest it? Before release, we’ll also be running a playtest for The Miner Was Replaced. If you’d like to try the DLC early and help us with your feedback, you can sign up directly on the The Farmer Was Replaced Steam page. ❤️ Something to play while you wait... Our friends over at If Red Then Stop released their demo today! So if November 2 still feels a little too far away and you’re looking for another programming game to check out in the meantime, give their demo a try. 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/4022900/If_Red_Then_Stop_Demo/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42555169/24ec057c3a2624c9fa2f5dcb6ab98503084cd572.gif We can’t wait to show you more of The Miner Was Replaced!
Hey folks, We are busy working on the new mining DLC. Since the mining is already looking quite nice, we thought we would share a short video showing a early work in progress of the new mining mechanic: If you would like to see a higher-quality version of this GIF that hasn't been sped up, you can find one here. We're currently working on a prototype of the mining gameplay and can't wait to show you more! You can already wishlist the DLC here: See you soon, Timon, Adrian and Nils As always we want to show you the programming game made by our friends If Red Then Stop. This could be for you if you want to learn how traffic lights, barriers and other traffic stuff are programmed.
