Thanks for the link! “[Wisents] look like a rectangle had a baby with a muppet” - still laughing at that quote. And I have loved wisents since I was a child!

There will be żubry?! That’s awesome, I love those dudes, and there’s lots of them where I was born, so it’ll be something highly relatable for me : D

Oh yeah, the wisents alone make me hooked already! (Not that I’ve been able to resist anything FBG-related in the past ten years anyway…)
I’ve always been enamoured with the mystical image of my bronze/iron age ancestors coming face to face with the incorporated wisdom and dignity that is this magnificent creature, at dawn in a mist covered forest after a rainy night, all steaming and dreamlike.
And now FBG may give me the chance to experience this!
I hope (and expect) there will be an opportunity to be a part of this via some sort of crowdfunding?
I choose to interpret this as Failbetter is inventing an entirely new genre.
If all goes well, the Discourse five years from now will be what qualifies as a wisentlike and what is merely a wisentlite.

No crowdfunding this time! But other opportunities to get involved with it, you’ll see.

Now this will be an interesting and new approach! Wish you the best and I can’t wait to see what are you cooking up for us!

Except, y’know, a bump that meets the character limit.
looks interesting)) I’m not a fan of this genre, but if I were to start, I’d start with this one
I’m actually really excited about this. I always want to like farming sims more than I actually like them, and I feel like some Failbetterness might be exactly what they’re missing for me. The gentle-but-eerie vibe they seem to be going for is one I find makes a good balance between the cozy kind of things I’m drawn to in stressful times and the edge I need to actually stay engaged with the cozy.

Well, I’ve wishlisted it on Steam. Looks good, and the subtle Lovecraftian nasties will be fun to uncover. (Please hurry, FB!)
