Wild birds have arrived on your Farm

This is an update that brings a whole new feel to your Farm. Wild birds now live on it, and the Farm does not look or sound the same anymore. We think it completely transforms the game, making your Farm feel more serene and peaceful, and giving you a reason to slow down and enjoy it.

Sparrows, Goldfinches, Cardinals and Blue Jays fly in flocks or alone, just like the real birds do. They cast shadows on the ground, they go around trees and tall buildings, and every one of them sings with its own voice. Your Farm has never been this alive!

They land on your Farmhouse porch, on your fences and on your Hay Bales. They splash in the Birdbath, flap their wings, drink and sing. Then Joe or a Cat comes too close, and they all fly away. They behave like little wild birds, rather than decorations.

• Sparrows now visit your Farm all the time. Before, you could see wild birds only in Bellflower Meadow.
• Goldfinches, Cardinals and Blue Jays come to a Bird Feeder that holds Bird Feed. In Bellflower Meadow they come on their own.
• Each bird flies like the real one. Sparrows and Cardinals stay low and go around a building. Goldfinches and Blue Jays fly high over it.
• Birds land on Bird Feeders, fences, Hay Bales, the Water Well, rooftops and the Farmhouse porch. They peck at seeds there.
• The Birdbath now has real water. A bird steps in, splashes and drinks.
• Every bird has its own songs. Sparrows are the most talkative.
• Birds fly away from Joe, from your Cats and Dog, and from the Truck. Blue Jays are the shyest.

Shadows and natural flight

We made the game run faster, and that gave us room for something we wanted for a long time. Birds and butterflies now have shadows, so you can see how high they fly. Open your Butterfly Nest and watch: the butterflies rise out of it in 3D, with their shadows on the ground under them.

We also gave both the birds and the butterflies natural flight paths. They rise, turn and come down the way the real ones do.

Bird Watching (beta)

• Take pictures of the birds with your Binoculars, and fill your Bird Catalog with the best ones.
• Every bird you photograph gets a Specimen value from 10 to 100. Will yours be Ordinary, or Legendary?
• New Achievement: Bird’s Eye View.
• This is a beta feature, so the values might change.

Robert

Robert from Empower Charity has a new cause, and he is VERY passionate about it: the wild birds. He calls you at Level 26, after you complete the Charity Orders in the Quest “Into the Wild”.

His Quest Chapter, “Robert’s Bird Watch”, has 5 Quests. Help him, and he gives you all you need to start: Bird Feed, an Empty Bird Catalog, Instant Photos, and one more thing that he wants to tell you about himself. Fill your first Bird Catalog, and you will hear from Robert again.

Stone Fountain with real water

• You asked for it (well, about 6 years ago), you got it! The Stone Fountain no longer has that static water image, looking like it was frozen. We went overboard and built a full physics simulator with water droplets that fill the top basin, spill into the lower one, and create water ripples as they fall. It’s delightful.

• We even made a customizable water jet settings panel, so you can adjust your fountain just the way you like it!

For farmers who know their water fountain jets.

Truck trips are smoother and faster

• Each trip is now 1 to 3 seconds shorter, depending on where you leave from and where you go.
• Joe gets in and out of the Truck more smoothly, and a few glitches are fixed. Just in time for Competitions.

Other improvements

• New Ringtone setting. The loud old ringtone and the annoying vibration are gone. On page 1 of the Settings, you can now choose the ringtone you hear when a character calls you.
• Redesigned dialogues. With the new story, we redid the whole dialogue system. It is more fluid, easier to read, better aligned, and has nice new sounds.
• In a Recipe, the background now fits around all the ingredients.
• A Recipe with a Starred ingredient now shows the star over that ingredient.
• The Train popup and about 5 more popups are easier to use.
• Tens of other small improvements.

🦉 Happy bird spoting! 🐦‍⬛ 🕊️
