Hey @encantes @Chicken_Slayer @MountainMom @Elsa @wafercookieflippers @SBH @KingChewy @firebombmarkus @mysticalmysty @LeaC @BQN537 @Velarosa @piaandersson @PummyRaj @christine88 @bearwithme @debrichmond - You might be interested and have a few questions to ask! Well it's your chance to do so 😉

I'd like to know what rationale is used to shuffle cropsies on the board when no more matches are detected. Special characters (fireflies, flowers, poppy seeds, cattle, clam shells, etc.) do not move but the reshuffle of remaining crops is rarely helpful. Is the reshuffle totally random?

MountainMom

How is the degree of difficulty (hard, super hard, etc.) determined for a given level?

MountainMom

For any given episode, is there a set number of levels that must include Rancid or a higher degree of difficulty?

QueenB

Yes @MountainMom 🙌

You go girl 🤩💪

PummyRaj

Thank you very much for the tag dear @QueenMia 🤗

I will come back in a bit.... Just came to the Community after 3 days break, catching up with all the missed news 😄

Have a wonderful rest of the day 🍓 🍐

@QueenMia very very interesting! 🙃🙃

My first question is:

when they create new levels in every episode, how many times they tested it and who will decide the totally moves?

bearwithme

My first question @QueenMia is whether they will finally finish the last three companions. I realize they don’t plan to create any more but will they at least finally add the remaining companions to complete the remaining three rewards?

Hello again dear @QueenMia 🤗

I am back with one question as of now 😄

How does the team designs the "sheep" levels? -- When a move affects 2 Sheep in a level, how do you "design" which sheep to move first and which one to stay put?

I am asking this especially after playing the 12th level in the "Starry Night" event. The Sheep were moving too randomly and it was hard to calculate which Sheep will move with the move I make -- whether the first sheep will jump up OR the sheep that is on the top spot will come down, etc.,

For me, it was the Sheep that made the 12th level too hard and crazy to win (I am very glad that I am done with that level now 😅)

I do have this question from a while , it is usually the same with the levels where we have too many Sheep to collect as a goal.

But, instead of talking about a regular game level, I thought of bringing this "special event" level, as we all have played (or still playing) the 12th level and memory will be fresh.

KingChewy

Great question @PummyRaj ☝🏻 Would love to know that one as well 💪🏻

QueenMia

Great questions, guys!

Please keep them coming! Our Farm-Tastic Game Studio will be more than happy to share some info with you all 🤗

Did you discontinue advertising? I haven’t been offered an ad to watch in a week or so.

@PummyRaj unless its changed, the white sheep always move first if touching the same matched crops. Or if two white sheep both move.

Ok so questions from me.

I understand about control groups. So why with big events like birthday events, could the same event not be rolled out to groups at different times so that everyone can get it?

Will the studio ever decide to go down the same route as some of the other games where there is no map and you cannot go back and play? (please don't, a bloggers life is hard enough as it is)

Why when the levels are released ahead to players, do you not take feedback into consideration before the levels are fully released to everyone? I have seen many comments over the years about how things don't work or are too hard and yet they don't change until the levels have been out a few days. And why are the levels not tested properly by studio players before release. After all if you can't do it, we can't!

(trying to think outside the box here)

Are there plans to add more features but from a certain level up, rather than add it to already released levels? It gives us something to look forward to. And will they be more farm based rather than oysters and firecrackers 😁
