Farmburgh strips farming sims down to their essentials: plant crops, tend animals, and craft goods through point-and-click interactions. The game caters to both optimization-focused players and those seeking relaxed progression, though notably long growth timers may test patience during early play. Best suited for fans of straightforward farm management who want idle mechanics without the narrative depth of alternatives.

"Farmburgh" is a bare bones basic asset flip looking "I can't believe it's not a mobile app" farm tycoon game. Drag and drop a lot of what look like stock tiles/animal assets etc and tap away at your screen pretending you're playing Farmville or something, I don't know. If this is the kind of game you really want to play, just go buy Stardew Valley, it's not that expensive.

The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Possibly... the problem is, even if this isn't an asset flip, it's indistinguishable in quality from one, and that's where the real problem is.

It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $4 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product.

Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 12 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away.

Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?

Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

It looks awesome but the time frames for growth just seem way too extravagant. Its nice to want to have the game played for so many hours but 30 minutes for the starting crop seems extravagant. End game crops/animals shouldn't even be over 2-3 hours honestly. The game itself though it awesome and I do love the idea of spending time on it. I just think it needs to be a little more time efficient if you catch my drift. Maybe 1 minute for wheat then double the time increment for each additional or something.

Farmburgh - Version 1.1.9 - An Apology from the Developer

813 days ago
It's been a while Farmburghians. First off, I want to apologize for not being as attentive to Farmburgh and some of its issues as I should have. A few months after the game release, my life got really busy with a new job amongst other things. As of December, I had made Farmburgh free on Steam while officially ending developer support. I never saw Farmburgh as being a fully completed game, but I no longer had the time to maintain it. I made it free so that more people would be able to enjoy the thing I'd put my heart and soul into for over a year. With the influx of new players, there were some more bugs discovered that I largely ignored until now. I do apologize for ignoring those because some of them made the game unplayable. This was not my intent, so this week, I had made the effort to tackle a few of the major ones to make Farmburgh playable. Specifically, the issue of level unlocks not saving properly. This issue is now fixed, and those who were affected will have their Level Points appropriately refunded. While fixing these bugs, I did find the motivation to add a few new crops and decorations. While these will not be a part of this smaller update, they will be releasing (hopefully) within the next week! Thank you all for playing and for your continued patience! Patch Notes Unlocks bought with LP will now save properly. LP that has been wasted has now been refunded. When removing buildings, crafting stations now properly refund resources and animals are returned to storage.

Farmburgh is now Free to Play!

Hello Farmburghians, I know it has been a while, but I'm back with some news. Farmburgh was my first ever successful game release. It was my passion project for almost a year. Since release, I've felt that while Farmburgh was a great start, it was never properly expanded on or "completed." The plan was to bring tons of content to the game through weekly and seasonal updates. But as we all know, plans change. My real job got a lot more stressful until I was pretty much forced to find a new one. Though this new job is much better, I still lack the time to properly maintain a game. All that being said, it seems like a handful of people are interested in playing Farmburgh, and in my not-so-unbiased opinion, I think it deserves to be played. So from henceforth, Farmburgh will be FREE to all new players! I'd like to thank all the loyal fans who've bought and enjoyed the game! Also, join our Discord! If this free to play move sparks enough interest, I may be interesting in doing some future updates ;) Thanks again and happy farming!

Farmburgh - Version 1.1.8 - Pride Flags & Custom Flags

1112 days ago
Happy Pride, Farmburghians! In the spirit of the Pride month, we are thrilled to announce a special update. We deeply believe that love knows no bounds, and each one of us deserves recognition, acceptance, and freedom to express our identities. It is with this belief that we are launching our latest update which embraces diversity and champions inclusivity. Today, we are introducing a new feature - Flags. But these are not just any flags. They represent you, your identity, and your pride. We have been working on a collection of flags that represent a variety of sexual and gender identities. But that's not all. We understand that identities can be as diverse as the colors of a rainbow, and sometimes, they might not fit neatly into a predefined category. For this very reason, we've ensured that the flags are customizable. Yes, you read that right! You can now create your own personalized flags, representing your unique identity or supporting those identities close to your heart. You can use these flags as a permanent decoration for your farms, proudly displaying your solidarity with the diverse Farmburgh community. It's a small step in making Farmburgh a place where everyone feels seen, recognized, and welcomed. Remember, Farmburgh isn't just a game; it's a community. A community that thrives on acceptance, love, and mutual respect. By introducing these Pride flags, we aim to reinforce that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, has a place here. You are accepted. Happy farming, and once again, Happy Pride! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43509856/303ff2514926b9cb74b0bc301c147e0b5eb2792c.png Adding a custom flag Navigate to your Steam library directory.
