Farm Town Weekly Says Farewell

Farm Town Weekly Says Farewell

Greetings! We very much enjoyed spending another Monday evening among friends with whom we might never have met if not for this remarkable game and their willingness to support community outside the isometric arena of Farm Town.

The primary focus of this episode was to discuss the most recent update which roundly delivered new levels, crops, items and features. It was a very nice evening spent talking over these topics with friends, but ended quite somberly as I had to announce that there will be no more new episodes of Farm Town Weekly being recorded on Monday evenings.

We did intend to deliver a fourth season however due to circumstances and events unseen in our forecast, we will be unable to do so at least not at the present time. Please listen for more details and thank you all so very much for your support over the last 12 months.

May 21st Farm Town Update

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

By now you have probably already seen the posts to your Facebook wall where your friends have bought everything from an Oil Refinery to a Taco Restaurant. Those clever little possums at Slashkey even added a small and large Sea Coast to enhance the fishing feature added in the previous recent update. Here is a copy of the post Raul made to the official forum where he announced the details of the new version.

Hey there, We just released a new version with the following features:

1. Small Sea Coast (coins): Allows you to catch Haddock, Dolfin, Swordfish, Mackerel, Eel and Crab

2. Big Sea Coast (32 FC): Allows you to catch Cod, Grouper, Swordfish, Mackerel, Eel, Yellowtail, Tuna, Crab and Lobster

3. Oil Pump Tool (coins): Allows you to produce Crude Oil

4. Oil Reinery (32 FC): Allows you to produce fuel out of the Crude Oil to be used in your harvesters and seeders. You can store the Fuel Tanks in your storage. When you go to the Fuel Station to refuel, it will take not only the fuel tanks you have received as gifts from friends, but also all stored Fuel Tanks in your storage produced by the Oil Refinery. Both counters are displayed on the same line, ‘Fuel Tanks’, in the Fuel Station.

5. Taco Restaurant (coins): Produces different Taco products like Hard and Soft Tacos, Chicken Quesadillas and Burritos. You can get the Chicken or Meat as gifts from friends or Order them from the Semi-Trailer Truck.

6. You can now harvest your flowers. You can also hire people in the market to harvest your flowers: Flower prices have been slightly adjusted to accomodate this change. It functions like the trees, when you harvest a flower you get the coins and it’s restored to it’s original stage.

7. The current Flower Shop is now a facility (25 FC): Allows you to produces different flower buckets from the harveted flowers.

8. The frequency of the Mayor asking for gifts on the game has been reduced considerably, you should not see it more than 1 or 2 times per day.

9. The Semi-Trailer truck now deliver 3 times more Hotdog Sausages in the same period of time.

10. There was an annoying error when people were harvesting for others. If the farm where they were working had some Hens moving, the message ‘do you want to use this option for the remaining of this session….” was popping randomly, this have been fixed.

[Update: Taco Restaurant now rotates] Enjoy! Thanks –Raul

Farm Town Weekly Season III Episode 14

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

My has the Farm Town Weekly community grown. Participation has been incredible these last few episodes. Like last week we had 8 people on the community call which included a surprise call from Jennie (Who’s That Girl) G’s Sister from California.

We gave many “Shout-outs” and even welcomed 2 new members to our Board of Directors. Congratulations Rob Terry and Ray Berard. Rob has become a regular guest on the show and Ray is responsible for creating FarmTally.com.

We covered several topics on this episode including facilities, the need for new levels, and the inflation problem of having too much coin and too few methods where that coin can be consumed. Mainly, we just had fun getting together and hope you will get together with us next Monday evening at 7:30 central time.

Farm Town Weekly Season III Episode 12

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Farm Town Weekly Season III Episode 12On this episode we discuss fishing, facilities, and making a “Help Wanted” post to your wall asking neighbors to come and harvest/plow at your farm. We also talked about desired upgrades to current features and a few new ideas. Was a lot of fun and a great crowd in our live chat.

Another topic we discussed is a fun thread in the official Farm Town discussion forum called Sniff, Sniff, Boo, Hoo. This thread is a multi-contributor saga started by Ms Penny about the goings-on at her “seedy” little Trailer Park (Farm 2) and Bubba’s Prison (Farm 3). We featured screen shots of these farms on our Facebook Fan Page and the story line now includes Jets Cousin, Cletus Hill who is currently sitting on Death Row at Bubba’s Prison. There is really only one way to get up to speed on the Trailer Park Players and that’s to start at the beginning and read to the current post. It is a lot of reading but what else do you  have to do while you’re waiting for wheat?
