The Farmer Was Replaced has sold 1,000,000 copies. โค๏ธ We honestly didnโ€™t expect to reach this milestone so soon. The Steam Programming Fest gave us an incredible boost and helped push The Farmer Was Replaced past one million copies sold. Weโ€™re incredibly grateful to everyone who played the game!

Somehow this became a very programming-heavy update. ๐Ÿ˜„ We have a new demo, a DLC release date and some goblin news from gamescom. Traffic lights, mining drones and probably burned sushi. What a day at Metaroot. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Our funniest collab yet! ๐Ÿ˜… You now can automate Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot from @marcelzurawka.bsky.social / @iroxgames.bsky.social directly from within our Python programming game The Farmer Was Replaced! Hope you all like it haha

Metaroot @metaroot.bsky.social

We had a pretty strange idea a few months ago. ๐Ÿ˜„ Together with the developers of โ€œBongo Catโ€ and โ€œTap Tap Loot,โ€ weโ€™ve created a little crossover project weโ€™re calling โ€œThe Typer Was Replaced.โ€ With it, you can now automate the two games from @iroxgames.bsky.social

We just sent out a new Metaroot newsletter. Itโ€™s a small update on whatโ€™s been going on lately, including the new DLC, the Bongo Cat collab and what weโ€™re working on next. Weโ€™re also giving away 5 Steam keys for Tap Tap Loot. If youโ€™d like to join you can subscribe here: bit.ly/4cfH77I

We turned The Farmer Was Replaced into a Bongo Cat auto clicker. Still canโ€™t believe how much you all liked this random idea. ๐Ÿ˜… With the new tap() function, you can automate typing in Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot using code.

Metaroot has been doing an obviously excellent job with their recent releases of The Farmer Was Replaced and Goblin Sushi. If you're looking for a small publisher at the top of their game, run by a few very passionate people rather than any big shareholders, I recommend introducing your project!

A wonderful @gamesmarket.global article, about the success we had with The Farmer Was Replaced this year! ๐Ÿคฉ

GamesMarket@gamesmarket.global

The tiny Swiss publisher Metaroot landed a major hit with The Farmer Was Replaced, developed by solo developer Timon Herzog. A postmortem about an underserved niche and the importance of communication and information sharing. @metaroot.bsky.social www.gamesmarket.global/metaroot-how...

Folks! This year was absolutely amazing! ๐Ÿคฉ (And honestly also quite exhausting haha) Together we released 5 games this year! I just want say thanks to all of you, but especially to Nathalie (my wife ๐Ÿฅฐ) and @flurinweidmann.bsky.social (my brother ๐Ÿ˜˜)! Enjoy the holidays everyone. โ™ฅ๏ธ

The Farmer Was Replaced is now available on macOS ๐ŸŽ Alongside the release, we shipped a small update with fixes and improvements. The game is currently 20% off as part of the Steam Winter Sale, so itโ€™s a great time to jump in or to convince a friend to give programming a try. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I would once again like to post a heartfelt recommendation to work with Metaroot for publishing consultation. I get an invaluable amount of tips from them because we're friends, but if you're in the market for steam publishing expertise, they're genuinely excellent and for some reason not booked out
