200 Million carrots harvested in the time between when I "finished" the game and now with nothing released in that time. Please don't delay anything else, just release what you have as soon as it's stable.
Hey Tons of Fun! Our feature set is locked. We are polishing and bug fixing currently. We are aiming to run a playtest on Discord next week, and we will publish soon after. Thank you for your patience. We are nearly there!
I understand! Thank you for taking the time to reach out. We are polishing and fixing bugs now. We will be running a beta of the features with some people from Discord soon (as in next week or the following if all goes according to plan!), and our Kongregate build will come soon after. I know it's been a long wait, but we know that this was the best decision for the game and we can't wait to share it with you!

Ok, I did not want to do it, but I think it's time to urge the creators of our favorite game to hurry up. Remember, we forgive mistakes, but we do not forgive making empty promises. You gave us hope that you can combine tetris, management and romance into one game. Please, let it finally happen.
We're getting there! We just have a lot more to finish polishing. We don't want to release anything until its done. You'll see very soon why this took so long :)

Would REALLY appreciate a coins per second counter, especially in a game so balanced around different strategies, there's really no way to tell if my gameplay style is affecting anything. Might as well plant just carrots

...Am I the only one who gets spooked hard by the strange noise the game makes when you click the button on the "Here's what happened offline" screen?

How do I protect my saved data when the new update comes out?
I already had my progress wiped on a previous update and I'm worried it could happen again. Is there any way to protect against this?

So like, where's this romancey stuff going, will I eventually be able to bang the hot hot ladies? Esp all 3 of them. At the same time.

It would be really helpful to have the ability to see the Primary Task while being able to interact with the farm....

Adding on to what @KAhunter is saying: Obviously we don't know what the update fully entails, but if there are any elements that you could slow-roll out it would give the community something to stress-test and provide feedback on! There have been great ideas that have come from community comments and this could foster more as you work towards larger additions to the game. Keep up the great work!
It's too late (and too hard) for us to slow roll out updates this time, but next week we will be asking Discord for a few volunteers to help us do an early test of things! We defiantly want and value all of your feedback.

I agree with @Aeer. I also think that it should have been much sooner. You have momentum, take advantage of it and give us something more to keep us interested. I am frequenting this game less and less. The longer you wait, the less people know or care of the upgrade. Also keep it simple please dont overdo it and make it more difficult than it needs to be.

I really want this upgrade but I'm starting to be afraid that this will change the game completely. You should present us with improvements
slowly, in small updates, not in a huge patch that can totally change the gameplay. In any case, I can not wait to see what you have prepared for us. :)
Hi Aeer - we understand your concern and we are thankful for your support (don't worry I added "Island with Avery" to my notes hehe). We are hopeful that this won't change the game you already love, but instead feel like an expansion to the game. We have worked very hard to keep the core game intact and use this system to expand and extend other parts of it! We are still learning and experimenting together on how we want to navigate patches and updates so we appreciate your feedback. Thank you again for your support. We are getting so close with this and can't wait to release it to you :)

@developer - Please make future tasks/quests associated with buying a particular item instead of spending a particular amount.
If we do our job right, nothing :) We aren't intending on resetting people (that is still subject to change but very unlikely), and we have designed the features to be relevant no matter where you are in the experience.

My game reset and shows none of the seeds to be placed. I have 0 gold and 2200 crystals but no way to buy seeds. Before it reset I had all buildings built.
I have noted this as a bug and we will look at your save to see if we can figure out what happened. Sorry about that - I will PM you if we can fix it before the patch.

Did you just change the date of the message from May, 28th to today?
I could have understood another delay, but that was just low!
You absolutely made clear what do you think about your players.
Hi Cazacurdas - that wasn't something we did. I'm not sure why that date would have changed, but I see it too. You are right that it was initially published on the 28th. We haven't posted any updates to Kongregate since the 28th, but we have updated our Twitter and Discord! It's a priority that we are transparent as possible with you.

My game no longer works. It just shows me a blank farm and no ability to do anything. :( I've been playing every day since it's release

This is a really great Idle game, I don't typically play Idles for more than a week because they just get boring. I'm excited to see the future of this game and am glad the Dev's are ensuring that any updates are done properly even if they need more time than they thought.

You're doing really well on the game development. I loved the guild addition and I am sure I will love the next update. Take your time and make it great. I'll wait. :-)

I would like a sprinkler that slows done crops, so my farmers can focus on certain ones, or pick one more often that has more bonuses.

@Desmer69 What a baby, crying over a free browser game. Play something else in the meanwhile. There are tons of games on here and tons more on Steam. They'll be ready when they are ready.

To the devs: you definitely ought to give a massive apology to everyone who has been deceived by your numerous delays on the update. This is the Trump version of a game; promises and teasers galore, and nothing happened. I refuse to believe that I'm the only one who has reached the end of the game (Merchants guild level 32), and I haven't played that much. You promised everyone that it would have been launched at mid May, then late May, and now you're telling us that you "... are hesitant to give a firm date..."?
At the current state, I'll bet that at least 90% of the people who play this won't have fun and will feel like it becomes a chore with ZERO reward in a matter of days. I would recommend any other idle game before this, and I suggest that everyone who feels like they've wasted their time on a quarter of a real game rates this farce one star.
I'm really sorry you feel this way, Desmer and I understand where you are coming from. We never intended to deceive you with the dates we set. All 3 of us have been working as much as we possibly can to get this patch out. Frankly, we over-scoped a bit with the features, and rather than cut them, we decided to push the date out so we can finish them to the quality we want to bring you! Since we couldn't hit our last date, we didn't want to even generally promise another until we know for sure we can make that deadline. We understand if our players move away from Idle Harvest since there is currently an end to the content, but we really hope you check back when we do patch.
Hi Geno - we are hesitant to give a firm date because we don't like to promise things we aren't sure of. As soon as we are confident about when we are updating, we will let everyone know!

This is probably a really dumb feature request, but it'd be cool if we could romance the npcs, or if our conversation choices affected how they react to us.

I gotta tell ya, even in the end of the current end game, the biggest rocks have way too much HP. It's a nuisance to hold the button or tap a zillion times to get crits on em.

It would be great to have an option to show the earned gold/sec. This way you could improve the arrangemant of your crops and sprinklers

I know I must seem incredibly butthurt to come back to this, but for over two weeks I've had nothing to do but upgrade the Marchant Guild. Which means that I've basically logged in 2-3 times a day to change crops, and occasionally ending the day and autoclicking my way to a new setup whenever I run out of green gems to boost the current MG run.
Hey Desmer69! Thanks for taking the time to leave us two comments. I hear your concerns around our development cycle and how Idle Harvest still feels incomplete, so I figured I should address where we are at - We're overwhelmed by the positive response to Idle Harvest, which made us slow down and take our time as we add more content. We want our updates to be as good, if not better, than what is already released. This update is slow because there is a lot of content going in to it - we are adding game-play to the mid and late game, multiple systems being added, and we want to add more content to current systems. We know this is a longer release schedule than normal for Kongregate, but we are confident it is making for a better product. We are really grateful for all of your patience.
