It's now beeen two weeks since you informed us of the delay of end of may update. You promised the update would be ready very soon and you'd post a release date as soon as the update hits beta. Two weeks have gone by with no word whatsoever. Can you please give a status update?

Yes This image is from discord. https://imgur.com/a/O6AskJF

Thanks for the information. Seems like a very big delay then, if it's at least 4 weeks away from the planned release date. :/

Well at least they're still working on it. Better than most games on here that get abandoned.

Hey Dulkan I have been hesitant to post another official update because I don't want to promise anything until we are 100% certain - I know what it is like to be a user and watch a game get delayed. We are missing 2 art assets from the main game which is preventing us from calling this a Beta because they are complicated items and essential to one of the new features. I shifted our priorities a bit to give me more time to figure out how to pull them off. The rest of our content is looking so beautiful and polished, and we are adamant that everything hits the same standard of quality. We have so much content going in to this, (I mean it- there are 2 new large features, many many minor features, tons of QOL, tons of new art, etc) and as hard as it is for us to delay and for you all to wait, we know it is what is best for Idle Harvest. As soon as we know we will be very loud about when we will publish the content! If you want, you can join our Discord server. I try to post daily content updates into the “Content Teasers” channel. I haven’t posted any specific features but you get to see all of the art we have made and speculate on how things work. We are at the point where we have given the build out to a few close friends, and so far the feedback has been very positive. We are itching with excitement and anticipation to share all of this with you, but we want to be sure we are ready before we do. I hope this clears things up. As always, we are so thankful for all of you, your support, and your patince. TLDR; I promise this is still going to happen, but we still have 2 outstanding assets to do and a bit more polish before we can start showing things off and call it a Beta

Hey Pinkllama, Thanks for the update. Sure, it's fine, that you take your time, I don't hold that against you. But you need to communicate. When you say, you are ready very soon and then post nothing for two weeks, that's a big red flag. And please don't expect people to join Discord to get the information. I prefer not to use social media and msot people will only rely on the updates you post here. So even, if the update consists of "we are still working on stuff, we've hit a delay" is better than saying nothing at all.

Dulkan I really appreciate your feedback - you are right that we should be more transparent here. I will post an official update again, and I think I may even start a forum thread for updates here so people can get an idea of what is coming. Thanks for taking the time to express your concerns

Creeping up on 3 months with no updates. Excited to see when the next delay is.

Still waiting.

Jun 26 update: "Hi Farmers! We have a quick update for you today: We have to delay the end-of-may content patch. Now that that’s out of the way, time for good news… When we met up yesterday to play our beta version and figure out what was left to polish, we got side-tracked by how much fun the new features are. As we played we realized there was one thing missing from it – a feature we have heard a few requests for, and a feature we immediately realized would make this new system even more fun by adding another layer of complexity to this update. We knew without a doubt that we should delay to add it! So we won’t be updating tomorrow, or this week. But we do know this update will be very soon. As soon as we hit the beta with this new system, we will post our release date, and start showing off some of what we’ve added. I know some of you will be upset that we had to delay, but with the amount of new content, features, and surprises we have built, we are confident it will be worth the wait! See you soon!" Jul 15, "A few things – yesterday, for some reason our News Update was changed to show that we posted it on 6/12. I’m not sure why that happened, but for transparency’s sake that is the same update that we posted on 5/28 and no one intended to change it. Now for a quick update on development – We are still hesitant to set a release date because we just don’t know when we will be done. We have at least two more weeks of major work slated for ourselves, and after that we will have some polishing and bug fixing to do. There are a few large assets still missing that prevent us from calling our Beta and sharing more images about our new mechanics. We know we sound a bit too hyped when we say this, but we are so excited to share this with you. We are really having fun with these new systems (both building and playing them), and we’ve shared it with a few close dev friends who are really excited about what we are making. We think you all are going to be very surprised with how much we are adding. We didn’t initially plan for this to be such a large update, but the clear best choice for Idle Harvest ended up taking us towards a massive update – we’re talking 2 new systems, a handful of subsystems, new characters, new story, and much more. We try to post daily teasers into our Discord, but we know not all of you use that so we will start an updates thread on the forum too, just so everyone here can stay in the loop if they want to. Thanks as always for your patience. Your support and passion for Idle Harvest is driving us to make an even better game. We genuinely can’t wait to share what is next with you." Aug 37, "While we were polishing our big dick patch, you've been waiting for so long, we came up with a few ideas we really want to implement into our alfa alfa 0.0001a beta game client right now and need a few years to check all systems before releasing it. So, we won't be updating tommorow. But soon..."

Sept 51 " actually the ideas we had felt so good, and we were so excited about them, we decided to do a complete new game based on them. It is largely based on Harvest idle" but still need to write all from scratch. We should have a beta ready by Christmas 2025, then we can do the polishing and release this super exciting game by Easter 2031 (if we can inplement some easter eggs on time for the event, that would be soooooo loads of fun and excitement)."

I am pretty sure most of us would have already forgotten how to play this game by the time of the next update ....

These 2 posts had me laughing, thanks, i needed that

So in other words they will not have any updates till 2055! well, then I will find a new quacking game to quack about ... Joking

aye this is getting out of hand, if not the update let us know something dude, it's been a month since the last time you wrote something about the game

(https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1044092-idle-harvest/topics/1837453-development-updates-aka-new-content-spoilers-ahead) It's not a ton, and we're still waiting for more news, but at least it's something.

I hope you are as excited as us that you may get your answer by the 32nd of October!! Yeepeeee!!"

They said, they were very close now, but immediately posted a screenshot and said, this was heavily work in progress. so make of that you will. In my opinion, they've messed it up, it's now nearly two months after their planned end of may update and 3 months after their last update. The majority of players will have forgotten about this game by the time the update releases, no matter how good it may be.

I legit forgot about this game and was excited to come back and play new content. My dissapointment is immesurable and my day is ruined.

I checked in my favourites and saw that the game picture has a flashing banner saying "Update". I was so excited! Never mind.

more ambitious, no update coming but instead an exciting upnodate!

yeah i also forgot about this so called "update" we have been promised for many months, just looked on kongregate to find the banner "update" to be fooled like many of you :( maybe i will just stick to steam games and forget about this after all

There will never be another update I'm thunking at this point

Has anyone heard anything since November? I know there is a discord, but I can't find it. I also have't seen any update hints on the profiles or social media of any of the devs. Is this game still being worked on?

The discord link is on one of the news tabs that you see at every start of the game. There was a UI teaser for daily quests in december.
