The Shepherd's Flock: issue 1

Welcome to the first edition of the Shepherd's Flock Newsletter. Thank you so much for your interest in Muddy-Boots. Muddy-Boots has been a long time dream of mine, and I'm so happy to embark on this journey with you all. In this special introductory issue of The Shepherd's Flock I'll share a few details of how Muddy-Boots came to be as well as upcoming plans for the future of MB. Maybe some sneak peaks also? 😉

The dream for Muddy-Boots began in 2017. Little thoughts and ideas came to mind while I was taking care of my real life farm pets. As the days passed the ideas blossomed and grew. I felt that making a farm sim game would be an interesting and exciting endeavor. My goal always has been to design a game that I personally wanted to play. So features will be interesting and abundant. My hope for the game grew and grew like a tiny little sprout.

My other project at the time was my rabbit sim game called Cotton-Tails. Cotton-Tails started as a simple forum based game on Webs. Wouldn't you believe it? My plans grew for CT and eventually I started coding a brand new site. Progress was moving slowly but surely. Due to a failure with the database I lost everything. Everything I had coded vanished and I was devastated. Whilst coding Cotton-Tails, Muddy-Boots was always on the side lines. But on those side lines, my hope for Muddy-Boots never faltered.
When Cotton-Tails was lost I thought to my self. Maybe this is a new beginning for CT? After talking with my team I figured out that maybe a new direction may be interesting. Muddy-Boots was back into the spotlight, the farm game that I had dreamed of. The fact that rabbits can be found on farms really sealed the deal.

I wish to thank my wonderful team, Lakia Lynn and Wild. Without your thoughts and encouragement Muddy-Boots wouldn't be where it is today.

Also, a huge thank you to the wonderful artists that have contributed to Muddy-Boots. The artwork is truly incredible.



Upcoming plans, where to start? We have so much in store for you all. Some little tidbits:
