Farm and Mine, my LD48 entry, got released on 4 platforms!
Hello, fellow LDJammers! I hope my story will be motivational and inspirational for you.
Three year ago, at Ludum Dare 48, the theme was "Deeper and Deeper". I decided to make a game where you first dig potatoes, and then dig deeper to mine for coal, ore and other deposits. I named my simulator "Farm and Mine", to stand out among other idle resource managers, which are usually either entirely farm-based or entirely mining-based.
At the jam the game performed moderately, but the players noticed the potential and I decided to keep working with it afterwards. After 4 months of open beta testing I was ready for the mobile release, which I did in August 2021 at Pocket Gamer's Launchpad event.
Since then I updated the game with new content on a regular basis and responded to the players' suggestions and reaction. And now I'm proud to tell that the game is available on 4 major platforms

- Over 60 facilities which produce resources, convert them, sell, or provide new game aspects;
- Integrated autoclicker: just click on the facility which you want to boost and the autoclicker will do the job for you;
- Unlimited offline time: having made sure you automated the production chains, you can leave your farm to return later and see how much did your citizens produce;
- Interlocked resource branches: agriculture, industry and population, each one depends and empowers the other;
- Elaborate prestige system which allows you to select which aspect of the game boost the most (and you can change your mind and try a different strategy on the next run);
- Human-drawn buildings and characters who work everywhere in your growing city;
Feel free to use these ones to activate the timed bonuses which will speed up your progression:
EUZUMQO: Time speed x10 (2:00) EPHP7UI: Clicks x10 (1:00) EO6MWON: Transport x2 (12hour 0m)
The current game rating on various platforms is around 4.4 - 4.8 after thousands reviews, so we hope you will enjoy the idle farming and resource mining, too. Have fun!
