  • Hi everyone!
  • Demo 0.12 is now available on Steam.
  • While working on this version, I thought a lot about the feeling I want the game to convey. For me, The Headlands isn't so much a farming simulator as an attempt to capture that same feeling of summer that, in childhood, always seemed longer, warmer, and more carefree.
  • I'd especially like to ask your opinion about the flow of time in the game.
  • So I'm very curious to hear your impressions of the current pace. Does the day feel comfortable? Is there enough to do between field work? If you have ideas on how to make the waiting more interesting or natural — definitely write in the comments.
  • And, as always, thank you to everyone who takes the time to play the demo, leaves comments, and shares impressions. It's thanks to your feedback that the game gets better with every version.
  • Enjoy the game and have a great summer 🌾
