Caravan Village: Farming Life

Don't be fooled by the positive reviews. I've played so many EA games and this is by far the worst one yet. Nothing works, there's no way to know where you need to go or what you need to do. You can soft lock yourself immediately. You can just swim out to a boat that takes you to an island with a single merchant on it? Why? What is that?? The systems are broken. In co-op my partner and I had different textures and pixel art somehow I'm not even sure how that happens? Our computers and settings were the same. Oh right and you can mine wood forever and never get a single piece in your inventory. It just deletes it?? Just trust me on this one.

As a die-hard, avid player of Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Stardew Valley, and other cozy, slice-of-life farming sim games, Caravan Village is a true up-and-coming gem of a game that shows promise and exceeds established potential since its demo. Keep in mind this is in early access but still charming! Enjoy your time in the mines, fighting monsters, obtaining ores, catering to your farm, growing crops (and animals!), cook up recipes from your grandmother's legacy to keep happy campers full and leaving ratings to turn your scammed dream into a bustling little town. What truly captured my heart about this game is the TLC the solo developer puts in but more than that, they are beyond responsive, open to gentle feedback, and works tirelessly to not only fix minor bugs, but to address issues that may be off-putting initially. Although only 6 hours in, I look forward to booting up this cozy gem to see new updates and bug fixes. TLDR; cozy, cute game; minor issues but immediate developer response and fixes; definitely a game to keep on your radar as the roadmap comes alive! Highly recommend!

Please understand that Early Access games are always work in progress. I do not like seeing people posting negative reviews without understanding that an Early Access game means that it is a work in progress. That being said, the Developer is fantastic! As a single person, they have made a very large map to explore, listens to feedback immediately and attempts to fix bugs when pointed out, and overall has shown how much love and dedication is put into this game. I truly hope they continue the progression of this game, because it has a lot of potential! I hope others will join in the Early Access and help find bugs, quality of life fixes, and just overall support this developer. I look forward to the Roadmap and everything that follows!

I can't collect wood because of a bug,,,,,,, Could you please fix it as soon as possible?....

deletes the hay i add to the silo every time i exit the game even if i saved prior to quitting the game. the game also kicked me out during the quest of accepting a npc request off the bulletin board and now even though i have the item in my bag it does not give me an option to give the item to the npc there for making it so i am unable to complete the quest. i was really enjoying the game minus the fishing part but i dislike fishing mini games due to how difficult most are so i do not include that when playing a new game. yes there are some similar ideas to Stardew valley but the game is different enough that it kept my attention for 3 plus hours until the glitches happen well the hay deleted from the silo was a very early glitch but i decided to work around that and keep playing until the game kicked me out. you have to restore caravans that you then rent out while farming your farm to make meals requested by the campers and also fill the npc charters requests to earn their trust there is mining and fishing as well the only thing i would add is a direct path from the caravan park to town because currently you have to go through the animal farm or the beach to get to town and it t…

I like it so far. Its slower paced and you can enjoy it as you want. There is quite a few crops but I have not seen fruit trees yet. I would love fruit trees/bushes as pomegranate and kiwi. Managed to plant crops and use the sprinklers. Figured out I can get water in the farm map in the bottom. Bought first caravan and have my first guest. She is happy so far. Managed to refill water and electricity (need a lot of wood) for the guests. All in not even one hour. This game gives you plenty of room for creativity and to explore things as you wish. I do wish it would not run at what seems uncapped framerate? Because these games send my notebook in overdrive kinda. So having an option to set it to 30 would be nice. I dont need 600 fps in my farm sims. There is a lot of texts and help texts, maybe a way to turn them off if you start a new game... Also maybe if you buy a caravan it could give a more clear indication that its yours and maybe you could also plant crops right there? Not just in the farm map? The art is pretty amazing on some of the photos. In game its a bit more bland but still not too bad. Love the music. I think it could be a pretty huge game some day with a lot more e…
