Snacko Gets Steamy, SoS Virtual Wallpapers, Roots of Pacha, and Stranded Sails Console Updates | Posted at 01:18 PM 08 May 2020

The weather has started warming, as this weekend we'll finally hit around 85° F (~30° C). There are a lot of berry plants that have started to bloom: blueberries, strawberries, marionberries (Mr.Fogu's favorite), raspberries, and the lovely fellow pictured above. Long-time Farm'n Friday readers might remember the stories about the white blackberries from last year and their introduction from the year before. Now that the canes are two years old, they've pushed out some blooms and will, hopefully, be producing white-colored Snowbank Blackberries this summer. We're not sure how they'll taste; maybe bitter, maybe sweet? It'll be something to look forward to sharing when things return to some sense of normalcy, and we can visit with our friends and families again.

North America is still awaiting the finalized release date for Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town in English. The game still has a rough date of July 28, which can change to sooner or later, depending on how things go. Preorders are now available in Canada at EbGames.ca, which includes the strawberry cow preorder plushie.

Snacko Gets Steamy

The indie kitty farmer island resurrection game Snacko now has an entry on the Steam gaming platform. You can watch a short introduction video of the game and check out some screenshots (or perhaps even wishlist it) on the Steam store:

SoS Virtual Meeting Backgrounds

For those who have to attend virtual meetings during this global lockdown, Marvelous has created a set of Story of Seasons virtual meeting backgrounds to farm-up your conferences. They make for pretty good desktop wallpaper too!


In Japan, the digital version of SoS:FoMT is currently 20% off in the Nintendo eShop until May 13.

New Stone-age Farm'n in Development

Soda Den Studio has revealed their new farming and town building game, Roots of Pacha, set to be released next year on Steam.

The game sets the player into a vast paradise and tasks them with developing a prosperous society. Players will grow crops, forage for wild item, go fishing, domesticate animals to care for, and go cave spelunking. They'll also interact with their fellow residents and can even entice people from other clans to join their clan.

You can learn more about the game on its official website or its Steam Store profile:

Stranded Sails Console Update Hiccups

The quality-of-life improvements to the console editions of Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands released on the 29th. This week, Roka Publishing acknowledged that some players that downloaded the Exploration Update on Switch and Xbox experienced difficulties with the latest patch. The publisher is aware of the issues and is actively working on a solution and encourage players to continue to send them gameplay issues using their online bug submission form.

Until next time!
