Curious About My Family Farm? Get a sneak peek!

8 June 2014 FarmMaster 0

Last week we announced My Family Farm, an add-on to FarmVille 2 that introduces you to your childhood sweetheart, and unlocks an all new way to play! 

Tons of great content will be unveiled on 6/26, and today we are excited to show you what some of that content will look like.
We sat down with Alex, My Family Farm’s Senior Producer, to discuss the creative process behind the all-new Family Farm House!
 The Creation of the Family Farm House
“One of the big new additions to FarmVille 2 is the Family Farm House.
The Family Farm House is not just a place to grow your family, but also where you teach them how to do farming jobs like crop care, tree care, baby animal care, etc. (Awesome because they use their own water, fertilizer, baby bottles, etc. instead of yours!)
We knew that it was super important to get the Family Farm House right, so we turned to our concept artists to help find just the right look, inspire the design behind adding Family to the farm.
Early concept sketches for what the Family Farm House would look like started with drawings that used real farms houses as reference. Looking at these early concepts we realized that we wanted to add more details and decorations to the house, and that no Farm House would really be complete without a nice cozy porch for the family to relax together on after a long day taking care of the farm.
“…we wanted to add more details and decorations to the house…” 
The next step focused on visualizing a porch that would accommodate an entire family, and give us a place for the farm-job-teaching UI (user interface).
As you can see, the porch and the house was widened by quite a bit. There were also a lot more details added to the architectural design of the house, bringing it closer to the Craftsman style you see in many of the other buildings in the game.
Even without color, this sketch is already starting to give the Family Farm House a much more cozy feel, and you can imagine a family living happily in it.



“The next step focused on visualizing a porch that would accommodate an entire family.”
Concept 2
Below is a rendering of the final version of the exclusive early unlock house. More details have been added, like the stained glass in the upper windows, the stone work in the chimney and foundation, and decorations like flowers, pillows, and rugs on the porch to help really bring the Family Farm House to life. We hope players will really enjoy their Family Farm House!

Save Room And Increase Production With Feeding Troughs!

27 May 2014 FarmMaster 0

Feeding Troughs are here! Now you can feed your animals faster, get more resources, increase your feed capacity, AND save valuable space on your Farm!

Note: To ensure that FarmVille 2 remains an enjoyable experience for all of our players, we will be slowly releasing this feature over time. We expect all of our players will have access to this feature by Mid-June, 2014. Please know that this date is an approximation and is subject to change.
If you are level 25 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on “Let’s Go” and you’ll be taken to the Upgrade Menu. 
From this menu, you can see that we have added 5 new Feeding Trough Upgrades; The Chicken Trough, Dairy Trough, Bird Trough, Wool & Fur Trough, and the Stable & Pig Trough. As you may have guessed, Each trough type will grant you bonuses for specific groups of animals. To see what these bonuses are, take a look at the details of the Trough Upgrades in your Upgrade menu. 
2
After you have selected the Trough you want, you will have to build it and add 5 Silos to the construction frame to complete it. If you do not have 5 Silos, you can purchase them from the General Store. 
3



Use the move tool to drop your Silos into the construction frame. 
4
Once your Feeding Trough is complete, a “hungry” icon will appear above it if you have animals of that type that need feeding. Clicking on your Trough will feed all hungry animals of that type with a single click!
5
Each of your Troughs can be upgraded to level 5 for additional resources and Feed capacity!

Scale Feature (Coming Soon)

25 May 2014 FarmMaster 0
Here some of the upcoming feature for Tuesday in Farmville 2. And from what it looks we will have a buidable Farmville 2 Scale. And it seems Walter will explain on what this Scale is for. From what we understand once we completed the Scale we may receive rewards if we feed enough of our farm animals.
There are four rewards which is mostly play area decoration and a bonus prize of Polish Frizzle Chicken. As usual we have some of the early images of this feature and we hope it will give you a general idea on how this feature works. If it does please don’t forget to share.
Place the Farmville 2 Scale in your farm right after the pop up message.
Now that Walter have explained to you what the Farmville 2 Scale is for, you will then have a chance to collect the necessary parts to finish the Scale.


As we can see, we will need Scale Arrows, Scale Faces and Scale Rings.
Now after collecting enough parts for the Scale, we can now finally build it. But first we need a couple of helpers so we will need to ask our friends if they can be one of our builder. After gathering enough helpers we can finally finish the scale.



Now that we have a completed Farmville 2 Scale and just like what Walter said at the introduction he will give us rewards and among them are as follows:
