Farm Royale a brand new game mode, begins 14th October

Moonfrost is a cozy farm-life sim, but we also want to have fun mini/live op game modes, our first one we are excited to showcase is Farm Royale... which will be showcased in Closed Alpha Release 4 starting on October 14th 2024 onwards (no end date set).

Farm Royale

As previously stated Farm Royale will be our first live-ops/ minigame in Moonfrost, which is multiplayer. You'll be thrown into a farming map with 15 minutes to farm/collect resources and deposit them into resource chests. It's a fun game mode which in this release will give your Craftcoin. Which you'll need to craft any decorations to build your home.

Massive UI Updates

We've made a massive update to the user interface, enhancing the inventory, hub, hot bar, task pop-ups, build mode—practically every element of the UI has been improved. Which was actually prioritised as it was a common occurring feedback point from our post alpha release playtests so thank you!

We've added some really big updates to our UI

Village Additions

Farm Royale is accessed from the Northern Square, marked by the chicken statue. Lemmon’s General Store now offers resources and seeds for purchase. We've also added two new stores featuring unique furniture and decoration sets, and much more updates to The Village.

Stamina Integration

We've introduced a stamina system, marking our first progression-based mechanic. This will couple with our new XP system which will be coming in Alpha Release 5.
