Last month I released Farmers Market, a tiny cozy farming/market game I made by myself.

Releasing a game is terrifying because after staring at it for so long you genuinely have no idea whether anyone else is going to enjoy it 😂

It’s still a very small game, but seeing people describe it as something they play to relax after work, or discovering that someone has spent 14 HOURS playing it, has been pretty surreal.

My favourite might be the player who listed everything they wanted fixed in their review… and has gradually crossed the entire list out as I’ve updated the game. 😂

I’m currently working on a big free Autumn update which is going to add around 4 more hours of gameplay, so I’m not finished with my little farm yet. 🌱

Farmers Market is on Steam if anyone wants to have a nosey:

Hi everyone!

A week ago I released my very first commercial game, Farmers Market, after spending over a year building it by myself.

Launch was a huge learning experience. There were bugs, achievement issues and a lot of late nights pushing out updates, but I’ve been trying to fix everything players reported as quickly as possible.

Reading reviews like these has genuinely made all the hard work worth it.

Some of my favourite comments were:

“Such a cute little cozy game!”

“Perfect game to relax with after work.”

“I finished everything in just over 2 hours.”

“The developer has been amazing. They’ve been really responsive, listening to feedback and releasing updates.”

The game is intentionally a short, focused experience (around 2–3 hours to complete), and I’m already working on a free Autumn update that adds a brand-new Village Orders mode with more content.

If it sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love for you to take a look. 😊

Description:
Hi everyone! I’m a solo indie developer and after more than two years of development, I’ve finally released my very first commercial game, Farmers Market.

Farmers Market is a cozy strategy and management game where you grow crops, react to changing market prices, unlock automation upgrades, defend your farm from pests, and try to build the most profitable farm possible. Rather than being a traditional farming simulator, the focus is on timing the market, making smart economic decisions, and adapting to random events that can dramatically affect prices.

Since launch I’ve been actively listening to player feedback and have already released several patches fixing bugs, improving the UI, and polishing the overall experience. As a first-time developer I’m committed to continuing to support and improve the game.

Discoverability is one of the biggest challenges for indie developers, so if management, economy or cozy farming games are your thing I’d genuinely love for you to take a look.

If you decide to play it, I’d really appreciate your honest feedback - whether here on Reddit or through a Steam review. Every bit of feedback helps me make the game better, and reaching my first few meaningful Steam reviews would mean the world to me.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post!

Solo developer. I designed, programmed and released the game myself using Unity, and I’m continuing to support it with updates and bug fixes based on player feedback.

Hi everyone!

A little while ago I shared Farmers Market here while it was still in development, and the response from this community honestly gave me the motivation to keep going.

After two years of solo development, I’m excited to say it’s finally released on Steam!

Farmers Market is a cozy isometric farming and market management game where you rebuild a village devastated by a harsh winter. Plant crops, raise animals, complete quests, unlock upgrades, and decide the best time to sell as market prices change every day.

If you enjoy relaxing isometric games with a bit of strategy and progression, I’d genuinely love for you to check it out.

It’s currently 10% off during launch, so now’s the cheapest it’ll be for a little while.

Steam:

I’ve already released a couple of patches based on player feedback, and I’ll keep supporting the game with updates.

Thank you to everyone who followed the project while it was in development - it really means a lot to finally share the finished game. ❤️

Today I finally released my very first commercial game on Steam, and honestly it still doesn’t feel real.

I’m a solo developer and have spent months building Farmers Market - a cosy farming and market management game where you grow crops, complete quests, expand your market, and slowly build your own little farming business.

Launching a game is both exciting and terrifying. You spend so long making something without knowing if anyone will actually play it, but I’m really proud to have reached this point.

If cosy games are your thing, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. I’m committed to supporting the game after launch, listening to feedback, and releasing updates based on what players want.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.

Whether you wishlist it, play it, or simply leave some feedback, it genuinely means a lot to a solo developer. 🚜💚

If everyone who sees this post and has a Steam account added my game to their wishlist, it would give my launch next week a huge boost. 🧡🌱

I’m a solo indie developer, and this is my very first commercial release after months of work. Every single wishlist helps the Steam algorithm and gives small games like mine a better chance of being discovered.

If you enjoy supporting indie developers, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could wishlist it. Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy what I’ve made! 🚜😊

After months of solo development, Farmer’s Market finally launches next week 🥹

It’s a cozy little market management game about growing, crafting and selling your way from a tiny stall to a thriving market.

One final wishlist push before launch! 💚

One final wishlist push before launch! 💚

I think this might be the last time I share my little farming game before it releases. 🥹

You start with just a tiny patch of land, a few crops and almost nothing to your name… and eventually your farm can become this absolute chaos. 😂

You grow crops, raise cute animals, react to changing market prices, complete little quests and slowly feed more and more people as your village grows.

I’ve spent the last two years making it on my own, and it feels very strange to say this, but Farmers Market is finally finished and ready to launch. 🌱❤️

I’m doing one last little push before release, so if cozy farming games are your thing, I’d genuinely love to have you along for launch.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along or given me feedback while I’ve been making it. I can’t quite believe I’ve reached this point. 🥹

Well, this is it. After two years of solo development, Farmers Market is finally ready to launch next few weeks.

You start with a tiny patch of land and grow it into a huge, chaotic farm - planting crops, raising animals, reacting to market surges and crashes, completing quests, buying upgrades, and feeding an ever-growing village.

The screenshot above is what your farm can eventually become. It starts much smaller. 😂

I’m doing one final wishlist push before launch, and every single wishlist genuinely makes a difference for a tiny solo-developed game like mine.

If this looks like your kind of game, I’d absolutely love to have you there on launch day. ❤️🌱

Thank you to everyone who has followed the game, given feedback, or wishlisted already. I genuinely can’t believe I’m finally at this point.

This is probably the last screenshot I’ll share before launch.

Two years ago this was just a tiny prototype. Today it’s finally ready for players.

You build a little isometric farm, grow crops, raise adorable animals, react to changing market prices, complete quests, and most importantly… feed a growing village that’s relying on you.

Seeing everything come together has been incredibly rewarding, and honestly a little emotional after spending so long working on it alone.

Huge thanks to everyone in this community who’s shared their own isometric projects over the years - you’ve been a genuine source of inspiration.

Here’s one of my favourite screenshots from the final build. I hope you like it. 🌾❤️

My mother-in-law has been involved in spiritual healing for many years, and painting has become a big part of her life alongside that.

She paints in a very intuitive way. She doesn’t usually start with sketches or a detailed plan - she sits down, enters a meditative state, and lets the painting develop naturally.

I’ve attached a few examples of her work because I thought some of you might find the process interesting.

As someone who isn’t an artist myself, I’ve always been fascinated by the recurring themes that seem to appear in her paintings: trees, light, movement, nature, feminine energy, and interconnectedness.

I’d be interested to hear what stands out to you, whether any particular piece resonates, and what your first impressions are as artists.

No hidden agenda here - I’m just curious how people outside our family react to her work.

One thing always bothered me in farming and management games.

You’re constantly told you’re helping “the town” or “the community”…

but you never really know who those people are.
So while making Farmers Market, I started creating actual villagers with their own personalities, stories and goals.

Nana Rue keeps the village fed with her legendary soup pot.

Old Marlo taught generations of farmers how to work the land.

Young Thomas dreams of transforming the village through new farming ideas.

As your farm grows, you’re not just increasing profits.

You’re helping these people rebuild their lives.

Honestly, seeing players become attached to the villagers has been one of the most rewarding parts of development.

Who’s your favourite?

Hi! I’m a solo developer currently working on a cozy farming game called Farmers Market 🌱

One thing I’ve always loved about cozy games is when they make the world feel warm and meaningful, so I wanted farming to feel connected to the people around you instead of just endlessly selling crops for money.

In the game, crop prices change daily based on supply and demand, but your farm also helps nourish and support a struggling village over time.

You can upgrade crops so each harvest helps feed more villagers, unlock new farming areas and animals, and gradually help the town thrive again 💛

I’ve been trying really hard to make it feel relaxing and wholesome while still giving players meaningful choices to make.

Would genuinely love to know what cozy players think of the vibe so far ☺️

And If anyone’s curious, you can find out more on Steam 🌱

Hi! I’m a solo developer currently working on a farming and village-building game called Farmers Market** **🌱

The idea started from wanting farming to feel more connected to the world around you instead of just endlessly selling crops for money.

In the game, crop prices change daily based on supply and demand, so there’s a constant balance between:

-expanding your farm
-deciding what to grow
-and choosing the right time to sell

But the part I’ve enjoyed building most is the village progression side.

As your farm succeeds, you gradually help feed and support a struggling village, unlock new areas, expand your layout, and improve the town over time 💛

One of my favourite systems is the “People Nourished” counter, which tracks how many villagers your farm has helped feed throughout your playthrough.

I’ve been trying to make it feel relaxing and cozy while still giving players meaningful decisions to make.

Would genuinely love to hear what city builder / management players think of the concept!
