- Update 4.0 Out Now - 26 April 2021
Hey everyone, I'm excited to share with you an update that's been in the works all year: Main Story This update marks the completion of the main story line. Not only does the game now have an ending, but the entire main story/objectives have been completely redone. Achievements Another addition to the game is Achievements. If you're casually or really into achievement collecting, this will really interest you. Rain It now rains in Weed County. Quest Menu Track all your deliveries and quests in one place within the Quest Menu. The Handbook The handbook can be found in the menus. If you're stuck or want to learn how to do something in the game, the handbook will probably have the info you need. Shorter Days Before every minute lasted 60 seconds. That's been cut in half to 30 seconds. This makes the day/night cycles faster, but still slow enough to get stuff done. Respect Level Changes As…
- Update 0.0.3.0 Out Now - 1 April 2021
Hey everyone, This update adds some new features to already existing features like automation and selling product. Deals have been added. When you talk to Darrell a new menu will open up and display the new deals that earn you a lot of dirty cash. Another addition that goes hand in hand with Deals is the new auto laundering system. With a minimum of $10,000 in dirty cash you can talk to Lance and have him launder some of you cash every day. FYI, Lance takes a 30% cut for himself. Other than the bug fixes, those are the main new additions to Weed County. These changes require you to start a new game. If you have any comments or bugs that I missed, let me know in the forums or at [email protected].
- Update 0020 Out Now - 24 March 2021
Hey everyone, Here's the list of changes made in this update. I've worked mostly to polish existing systems and naturally added some new things to these systems to make them better. For example, the map has finally been added to the game. Now you can see where you are located and all the locations in Weed County. It should make navigating much easier. As always, if you encounter any bugs please let me know through e-mail at unicorndengames@gmail,com, twitter, or the forums. Changes New loading screen New Strain Bench UI New Workbench UI Added high res rock to intro cutscene New dialog box Added map New trash area Owned inventory items
- Update v0010 Out Now - 25 February 2021
Hello Everyone! This update includes bug fixes for an issue involving using keyboard shortcuts to enter the menu system. I've rewritten it entirely so it's more efficient and straight forward on the back end. Just like before, you can enter the inventory menu by pressing "E" and go back to the game by pressing "E" again. Press "R" for the Respect menu, "M" for the Map, "J" for quests, and "ESC" for the Options menu. This update adds an inventory button on the main GUI above the need bars in-game. By pressing the gears icon, you'll enter the Options menu just like before, and now with the new inventory button you can enter the inventory by pressing the backpack icon. The next several updates will include bug fixes, polish, and balances. These next updates will help solidify existing systems before moving on and adding more larger pieces of content. If you experience any bugs or have any…
- New Update V9 Out Now - 16 November 2020
Hey everyone, After several months of working on the largest update Weed County has seen so far, I'm happy to say version 0009 is now available. This new update changes the game quite significantly gameplay-wise and there's also a lot of changes under the hood. Because of the extent of some of these additions and changes, any save older saves won't be compatible with this new update. The good news is that I've spent a lot of time future proofing the game so there shouldn't be save compatibility issues in the next several updates (at least). Here’s a breakdown of all the additions and noteworthy changes in the new update. At the bottom is all the changes in bullet point form. NEW DETAILS PANEL When you hover the mouse over an interactive object, a panel will pop up on the right side of the screen. This panel will tell you what the object is and details about it, like how to use it. This…
- v0009 Roadmap - 24 August 2020
Hey everyone, I've been busy planning what content will go into v0009 for Weed County and I've decided to put three planned updates into one larger update. There's a couple reasons why making a larger update makes sense. The main reason is because the game will feel disjointed if some of these new features exist without some of the other features. I think they complement each other and make the gameplay fuller. The other reason is because it will remove save incompatibilities in future updates. v0009 will definetly not be compatible with previous saved games, sadly. But, the incompatibilities mean big changes to the core gameplay. Here are some of the features coming in update v0009. New Real Estate Pretty much everything will be purchasable by the player. Stores will allow the player to launder dirty cash and bring in some nice income. Residential homes will bring in income from rent.…
- Update v0008 Out Now - 23 June 2020
Below is a more detailed explanation of what this update brings, but first here's the TL;DR changelog: Revamped look of main menu Revamped look of options menu Added map tab Added Inventory tab Added Respect tab Added Quests tab Added memories tab Added hide gui toggle 'F5' hotkey Revamped GUI Disabled furniture resetting while sleeping THE MAP TAB Among the new menus added is the map menu. Press "M" to go straight to the map for fast access. Currently the map menu is blank and will include the map in a future update when the world is more built up. Until then, this menu is not much use but shows what content is coming soon to Weed County. THE INVENTORY TAB Originally, there were only a few inventory items and all of them were displayed on the main gui. Since Weed County will be getting more ingredients, products, and ways to refine these products in the future, I needed to create an in…
- v0008 - New GUI and Menus Coming Soon - 5 June 2020
Now that v0007 rolled out, it's a good time to talk about the next update 0008. I don't know the exact release date for this update, but it will probably roll out sooner than v7. This update focuses solely on the gui and menus. This update should have a faster turn around because I've been planning it for several months already. NEW GUI Most, if not all, of the user interfaces will be redone and will be a big improvement. In a lot of ways, the new gui will be simplified and easier to read. It will also offer more room for additional buttons or readable stats in the future. NEW MENUS Every menu will get refreshed, including the main menu. There will also be additional menus added for future features. Since this update focuses on the visual look of the menus, not the new features they will display, the new menus will be empty until I add to them in a future update. However, the new menus…
- v0007 Update Out Now - 28 May 2020
Update 0.0.0.7 is rolling out now and includes a bunch of changes, specifically the addition of 7 new areas to visit. Here's a rundown of the update and a list below. LOCATIONS The meat of this update focuses on the 7 locations added to Weed County. These areas include characters with new dialog as well. In future updates these locations will be given more purpose as the characters are given quests or the other areas are given more planned content. I plan to give every location a purpose, if they don't already. Tony's bar has been added to an existing area, which adds a new bartending job. RUN TOGGLE Not only has the walking speed been increased slightly, but I've also added a run toggle key. By default your character will walk, but by pressing the Shift key can run. Press the Shift key again to walk again. Walking is useful when the player is trying to move furniture around the house.…

- Weed County Roadmap Update #1 - 28 March 2020
As the release date for Early Access approaches I thought it’d be a good time to talk about what’s coming in the first few updates. These posts will be regular and will keep you updated on the progress of upcoming changes to the game. I won’t address every hotfix update that may arise, as these post will be for larger updates. Firstly, on April 20th there will be a small update for the celebration of 4/20. The small update may include initial bug fixes, but more importantly, it’ll add something to celebrate that momentous occasion. I’ll talk more about it when the time comes. Secondly, the first large content update will come after 4/20. I don’t have a specific date for it yet, but as it nears completion I’ll be able to talk about specifics more. The meat of this update will include locations. More areas to explore, more people to meet, and more things to do will all be apart of this up…
