Farming Story

Important Update: Project Setback

Dear Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. It is with a heavy heart that I share some unfortunate news regarding the progress of Farming Story project. Over a week ago, my hard drive suffered a critical failure, and despite my best efforts, the data could not be recovered. Regrettably, I had no backup or version control for this project.

This incident has set me back significantly, but I want to assure you that I am not giving up. Your support and enthusiasm for the game have been a tremendous source of motivation for me, and I am committed to rebuilding and continuing this journey. While this is a challenging setback, it is also an opportunity to learn and come back even stronger.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. I will keep you updated on the progress as I work to restore and advance the project. Your support means the world to me, and I am grateful to have such an amazing community behind this game.

Warm regards,

Crying Snow
