SFL is continuing to trend deflationary ๐
We've noticed 2 key contributing factors to this success.
1. Trading fees - in the last month, 79,546 SFL has been burnt from trades ๐ฅ
2. The seasonal grind - players are using SFL in-game to attain resources and complete tasks.

Sunflower Land ๐ป We have been busy:
- More resources
- More craft-ables
- More gameplay
- More goblins
Are you ready to explore the Sunflower MetaVerse?

The team has decided to release mining ahead of schedule.
This means once we go live you will be able to explore, mine and craft collectibles that require stone, iron or gold.
You will need to start mining quickly so you donโt miss out on any NFTs! ๐
Iโve just minted the 2 flags Iโll be flying high on my farm!
Each farm will be able to mint 2 flags to show off. Which flags will you choose?
New feature incomingโฆ ๐

I have spent the last 2 hours decorating my farm ๐
So excited to release this feature to everyone โฅ๏ธ
I warn you though, you will lose hours of time adjusting your farm!
This week the team have been designing and planning a 6 month roadmap for Sunflower Land full of features and gameplay๐ป
Needless to say, we are pumped to begin building ๐ช๐ผ
Next week we will be sharing this with you all!
Just pushed some updates to our Open Sea collection.
You can now quickly see which items have boosts ๐
Teamed up with

The
#1
improvement that has been requested is around our Grub Shop System. This weekend I played around with an improved Food Delivery concept.
More Bumpkins, more orders + more rewards ๐
After 2,500 community commits and 300 releases, we are ready to launch Sunflower Land.
We are so proud to show the world this amazing game that we and the community have built! โค๏ธ
Testing out Harnoor's PWA feature on Desktop.
This allows player's to install Sunflower Land onto their computer or mobile device.
Nice work mate! ๐
The last Bumpkin Party crashed the game servers due to so much demand ๐ข
I've been working on some changes to help scale this concept.
Now we have many more rooms and they are limited to 50 people. When the parties start, be quick to enter!
Last week
@craigpgray
and I ventured to Coinfest Asia.
We got the chance to meet some incredible builders and potential partners.
The industry is becoming a lot more credible, but there are still the remnants of grifters and dodgy practices.
One of my highlights was meeting an
We have just begun decorating the walls with all of the amazing fan art ๐
Huge shoutout to all of the amazing artists in the community! ๐๐๐
A small bug occurred while I was developing. It listed all of the items even if the balance was 0.
I never thought about how many tokens and resources we have added to the game over the last few months.
And this is only the beginning...
Our small team of engineers have shipped an incredible amount of content in the past month:
- Multiple Bumpkin Architecture
- Node Rebalancing
- Warehouse
- Toolshed
- Web2 Onboarding
- Landscaping
- Easter Event
Well done team! ๐

I have gone back to writing and just prepared the first post of a series around the origins of Sunflower Land.
If you are a builder or aspiring to launch a Web3 project, I hope you find these useful.
We are almost ready for our first stream! ๐ป
We are planning on going through some features and community ideas to get a feel for streaming.
Once we are up and running, we will get real nerdy. Live game design, token design and development ๐ค
We did the MMO stealth launch at Dawn Breaker Island today!
For the past 6 hours we've been reaching capacity. If you haven't visited already, come join the party!
The team have been working on some huge updates to the SFL token!
I will becoming more active on Twitter over the coming days to announce and explain these changes.
Lot's of long awaited crowd favourites have been added to our roadmap. It is time to see SFL burn ๐ฅ
We are not trying to build a Web2 game and throw on a token and some NFTs.
We are aspiring to build a full-scale "Blockchain-first" game.
This style encourages aspiring developers and emerging gameplay (community leaderboards, challenges etc.)
2023 was a rollercoaster year for Crypto Games. With a changing ecosystem, we discovered many false Web3 narratives and made mistakes along the way.
I've just put together some of the key challenges we faced over the last year ๐ค Enjoy!
Over 2000 players have already sworn allegiance to Team Sunflower ๐ป๐
The Goblin War starts on the 5th of September.
Don't miss out! Start at farm at Sunflower Land today!

When Sunflower Land launched, we had no external investment & we have remained independent.
2 weeks after launch, we earned enough funds that I could give job offers to our founding Engineers (

). At the time of that decision we had runway for 2-3
Did you know that 91% of the team at Sunflower Land started as Open Source Contributors to the project?
I've been so proud over the past 3 years to watch players become talented and professional developers, artists & managers of our game. โค๏ธ๐
Another day, more buildings!
I can't wait to release the new Sunflower Land. It takes the beta version to the next level! ๐
Our team is growing, we are learning and improving every day.
Shoutout for the tent + water well

In Web3, launching early is the key to success ๐
The most powerful commodity in gaming is the community. However, so many AAA gaming studios seem to neglect them until the game is ready to launch.
The truth is, it is extremely hard to predict game design mistakes, failures &
I am always amazed of the community contributions!
A group of open source developers and artists have done a complete Christmas overhaul of the game. It is seriously impressive!
The power of community ๐ชโฅ๏ธ
Huge shout out to everyone involved!

I will be joining a panel on the "Future of Web3 Gaming and its Mass Adoption"
I will give some key insights around the growth of Sunflower Land and NFT gaming in general ๐ค

Since I was a kid, I was hooked on designing games. Instead of playing hide and seek, Iโd prefer to invent new games to play with friends.
As I grew older, I dove into depths of game development and eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Game Design & Development at
We are sorting through the Community Bumpkin art and randomly combining submissions to test compatibility.
An Angel in prison just popped up through random combinations...
I feel we need these items for the Bumpkins now ๐คฃ
Well done artists <3
The final part of the Sunflower Diaries is now live! I hope you enjoy.
"As the day drew closer, the doubt intensified. Will this be another failed game? Will any players return? Did I spend the last 3 months for nothing?"
Bonus features for our launch that are not yet available for Beta testers.
- Treasure Island (Digging)
- Mutant Crops (Magic Beans)
- Bonus 7-8 expansions
- Auctioneer Feature
- Advanced Wallet integrations
December will be busy! ๐

dynamic animation sheets. Instead of hand drawing each new sheet, he has invented a solution that instantly creates these animations - for over 350+ unique wearables.
The future of Sunflower Land is coming! Well done mate!
"The earliest traces of Bumpkin blood traces back to the ancient Saphiro tribe, a group of bold Bumpkins that inhabited the Southern Sunflower Isles..."
Are you curious about the origins of the Bumpkins and Sunflower Land? We will be releasing the history books soon!
A bit late to the party, but I finally got my Wheat cake!
I won't lie, the Goblin Hot Air Balloon helped me get the ingredients for this one. Thanks farm

How does Sunflower Land make money?
For a Web3 project with no token allocation or external investment we often get asked how we managed to build this game.
Instead of royalty focussed, our revenue streams have always been driven by in-app-purchases.
In-App-Purchases (IAP) -
The cat is out of the bag!
Behind the scenes the team has been working extremely hard the last few months.
We have some huge changes and innovative gameplay coming to Sunflower Land.

In the trenches with the team building SFL marketplace.
Layers upon layers of security, signatures & validation. My brain is about to explode.
We finally just fulfilled the first testnet trade ๐
We've got some exciting news for developers who like to build on top of Sunflower Land.... ๐
This week we decided that we are going to move all game analytics on-chain. Now you can track who chops the most trees, boils the most eggs or expands the most land!

Why is Sunflower Land building it's own marketplace?
There are some key features we believe using our own marketplace can provide that are not available on the market.
1. Using & burning SFL for fees ๐ฅ
2. Seamless & secure trading from within the game ๐
3. Gamification &
