While the gameplay is a shift, the passion for high-impact, engaging experiences remains the core of everything I build.What is Ancestral Fury?Ancestral Fury is a modern, immersive beat 'em up deeply inspired by the resilient spirit and untold stories of ancient Vietnam.

- Demo Improvement & Release Date - 25 June 2024
Hey everyone! We hope you're having a great day. Steam Next Fest has come to an end. It was our first time participating in such a big event on Steam, and it was a lot of fun. We want to extend our thanks to all the players who tried out our demo and added our game to their wishlist. A big shout-out to those who provided feedback - it's incredibly valuable, and we can't thank you enough! Based on the feedback received, we have made some improvements to the demo version. Here are the changes: You can now use Left Shift + Click to feed all Hogragons at once. If there aren't enough of the chosen items for all Hogragons, the mechanic will prioritize feeding the hungry ones first. The Hogragons are now slightly more durable and will lose less HP when they're starving. The Hogragon's status window will no longer switch off automatically. You can now see live updates of their attributes. The d…

- Announcement Trailer & Improvements - 16 March 2024
Hello everyone! We hope you’re all having a good day! Here’s a quick update on what we’ve been up to since our last post. Have you seen our demo trailer yet? It was out 2 months ago. Well, if you haven’t… That’s great too! Because we’ve just wrapped up a new one, with all the touch-ups and key features included. As you can see in the new trailer, we continue to make improvements on the visuals. We received feedback suggesting that while the game was quite cute, it had a somewhat gloomy vibe. That wasn’t what we were going for, so we reworked on the lighting and colors again. And we are thrilled with the results. This little game is becoming more polished each passing day. We had joy developing it, and we hope it will bring you joy too. Here are a few screenshots to give you a glimpse: As for what's next? Well, since the game is technically 100% complete, it's all about those final touch…

Happy weekend Hogmasters! We are here to give you updates on what we've been working on. We've been focusing on the visual elements of the game. Buildings now come with detailed decoration.

- AN ADORABLE TOWN HALL - 10 June 2023
Dear players! You may not know about one of the essential features of Hogvalord: The Ranch. That is building. Hogvalord: The Ranch is a small and cute game. But it doesn't mean it lacks fun from decorating your ranch with adorable constructions. Today, I want to introduce you to the Town Hall. Town Hall is one of the most charming constructions you can build. It helps to enhance the beauty of your ranch to the next level. It also has an impact on the gameplay with its unique features. One example that can help you a lot is the janitorial service. You can activate this service via the Town Hall tab of the Management window. You might wonder why you need this service. Well! The answer is sanitation is very crucial to keep your pets healthy and happy. There are more things you will discover while playing Hogvalord: The Ranch. I think that's enough for today's post, and I hope you guys will…
- HEY! LOOK AT THESE EGGS - 28 May 2023
Dear players! This short clip is my latest result from the development progress of Hogvalord: The Ranch. To be honest! I feel a little bit proud of this humble result. As you can see, what I would like to mention in this clip is the hatching egg feature. The idea about this feature is out of the original plan. But I would love to bring you the best experience, so I tried my best to put it into the game. You can buy the egg from the Shop, and then your egg will appear in your ranch. It will be stored in the inventory if there are no more places for it. You only need to click on the egg to see what will happen. My first thought when the idea rose was our excitement when the egg hatched. I didn't realize this simple idea was more complicated than its look. I spent a whole week solving the conflict between the new thing and the existing in-game elements. Fortunately, the result seems pretty…

- February 2023 Devlog - 18 February 2023
Hi there, everyone! It’s been quite some time since we last showed up, we hope you are well and still as passionate about farming and ranching as ever. As usual, we were buried under Mount Workload, working diligently behind the scene to make sure that this project remained on track. Our debutante’s date is still undefined, but rest assured, we are still very much active and moving forward. Now let us dive a bit deeper into details of what is going on. The core game is pretty much finished. Three out of four main features - raising hogragons, evolving them, building & decorating - are already there. Currently, we have been focused on designing the items in the game. While Hogvalord 1 has only around 10 essential items, Hogvalord: The Ranch has up to 40+ food and drinks to collect. We invested into art quality as well, they are all prettily hand painted. And what’s more, the items here a…
- HAPPY NEW YEAR - 31 December 2022
The new year's coming. I've been working on the Hogvalord: The Ranch for around six months. There're a lot of things to do when a new project start. That's why I don't post frequently. I will try to bring all the experience from my the first game Hogvalord to make this new version better in the next year. I also wish you all the best for the new year.
