¶ Sunfall Land Weekly Dev Stream - December 5, 2025
- Daily Rewards Update
- Chapter 13 Preview
- Goblin Raffle
- Rarecrows (Telegram Mini-Game) Launch Status
- Old System Removed: Eliminated the requirement for a daily blockchain transaction to claim rewards from the chest on the house.
- Reason for Change: The analytics platform DAPRADER, which ranked games based on on-chain activity, is shutting down. The game has sufficient alternative tools (economy dashboard, FLY dashboard, public APIs).
- New System:
- Login reward pops up automatically upon entering the game.
- No transaction needed; claim is instant.
- Rewards are tiered over 7 days (e.g., Basic Farming Box, Cooking Box), culminating in a "Weekly Mega Box" on the 7th day.
- Beta testing now; planned to go live end of next week.
- Development has started, focusing heavily on fishing improvements.
- Key New Features:
- Crustaceans & Crab Pots: New sea creatures to catch.
- Fishing Building: A dedicated building where players process weekly catches into seafood.
- Treasure Maps: A new "community hunt" mechanic. Finding 9 map pieces unlocks a "Marine Marble." Multiple marbles will be available per chapter.
- Fishing Mini-Game Update:
- Changed from skill-based to puzzle-based for better cross-device compatibility (especially browser).
- New mini-game will be available for beta testers in coming weeks.
- Future Livestock: Pigs and Geese/Ducks are planned for future chapters, not Chapter 13. Art for pigs is already complete.
- The "Love Charm" feature in the Town Hall was being exploited by bots.
- New Mechanic: Replaced with "Love Boxes" that pop above players' heads.
- Boxes contain random rewards: Love Charms, Sunflower Cakes, Pumpkin Soup, or Cheers.
- Bots will not receive monetary rewards from these boxes.
- Getting food items does not automatically label a player as a bot.
- Officially launched at the start of December after a beta with ~15,000 players.
- Current Stats: ~14.6k players on Telegram bot version, plus ~3-4k on browser.
- ~30-40% of players are new, not from Sunflower Land, which was a primary goal.
- Genesis Chapter Items: Includes King Crow (mascot), Christmas Elf Crows, Halo Crows.
- Community Channels: The team is not running an official Telegram channel. Instead, community-run channels (e.g., Spanish) are promoted and ranked based on member activity within the game.
- Future Plans:
- Exploring ways to reward community channel creators for helping players.
- Working with Telegram for better visibility (marketplaces, leaderboards).
- Utility: Rarecrows currently grant coins in the mini-game. Any future integration with Sunflower Land would be cosmetic (showcasing on your farm).
- Feedback Addressed: The team is aware of player requests to save/activate temporary boosts (e.g., 2x coins) for later use instead of auto-activation.
- Bumpkin Levels & Goblin War 2: The team is internally planning/designing these. Factions are a major part and won't be rushed into Chapter 13. More details to come later.
- New Recipes: Chapter 13 will introduce new cooking recipes using processed seafood (e.g., Fish Flakes, Fish Sticks, Fish Oil, Crab Sticks combined with other resources). It will replace existing fish recipes.
