A glimpse of 2025

Hello Exofarmers!

The year is coming to an end which means it’s high time to let you in on some of our aspirations for 2025. In this post, we’ll break down what we’re looking forward to in the new year, and we’ll also show you some experimenting we’ve been up to. Let’s get into it!

2025 – Time to experiment, together!a concept art of a larger open world in the farming game Lightyear Frontier. The image shows an exofarmer standing on top of its farming mech looking out on a large vast world with different weather and a farm seen in the distance

We are so excited to share that in 2025, we look forward to bringing you, our players, closer to the Lightyear Frontier development. We have plans for large-scale experiments which we’ll need your help to explore and test.

We can’t say exactly how this happens just yet but we would love to know if this sounds exciting to you all. Would you be interested in trying out experimental features? Let us know in the comments!

Here’s some of the experimental features we’ve been investigating so far ⬇️

What we’ve been cooking

Throughout the fall, we’ve been experimenting with some wild ideas. Let’s start off with something we think is really exciting:

a Larger Open World

A larger world will give you more space for your big farm dreams. The increased size will not only bring more freedom to our players but also to our developers, allowing us to explore bigger experimental features and changes together with you.

A Powerful Mech

Next up – We’ve been experimenting with the Mech’s feel, which is addressing some of the feedback we’ve received from you guys. So far we’ve been aiming to get a heavier feel to it, a GIF doesn’t quite do it justice since there’s no sound but you get the gist of it! This doesn’t mean the mech has been made heavier or has been slowed down in any way, but instead, we’ve worked with effects, both sound and visuals, to emphasize the mech’s size.

One heavy robot!

More freedom building a Homestead

Something you’ve mentioned to us once or twice – Building your own home. We’ve been investigating if we can give you more freedom in how you build your farmhouse and the potential of decorating both indoors and outdoors. Here’s how it could look:

Big house, Big dreams.

Thank you for taking the time to read through our news. We hope this post has made you just as excited as us for the new year!

Devs will be off on holiday now and until January 7th so you can expect it to be a bit more quiet than usual around here, but in January we’ll be back and ready to show you even more!

Until then, enjoy the Winter Steam Sale and have a Happy Holidays, Exofarmers!
