Wakey, you guys are busy with all this new stuff. And to think we got a sneak peek of new animal designs and now scare crows.

Let me be the first to say THANK YOU!

A Happy MyFarm player :farmer:

[Wildberry]

Thanks for the "peek."
If I could vote, I would want the blue-shirted one in the lower left corner or the "Lady Scarecrow."
...can't wait for the rose bushes!

Simon, I will keep an eye on your farm to see how "Patches" looks when the corn is high! Thanks for sharing the view of these guys - well worth the trouble of deleting extra newsletter messages!:m0283:

The Plan is at the moment that all 3 will be available. They are tiered items like the houses are, I can remember exactly which ones which but I believe the Middle one is the Lower Tier one, the left side one the Middle Tier and the Right Side one the upper Tier.

Also the official names of each atm are "Classy Joe" Scarecrow,"Patches" Scarecrow, "Tater Sack" Scarecrow. Again can't recall exactly which relates to which (the images on the gift wall don't show up yet as they are still being tested)

You shouldn't have to wait too long though to see for yourself. Theres some tweaking of things being done but barring a sudden major error cropping up they testing suggests they are pretty much ready to go live once the tweaking has been done to everyone's satisfaction

Thats them with Corn fully grown

[Wakey]

And Heres the ones for Rice. This is the one I think personally looks the most awkward. Just about works when its just planted. Looks a bit odd atm when its grown. Might be able to be tweaked before it goes live but I think that may be something that needs sorted with the two sets of graphics so may be a fix for further down the line

Thank you for the newsletter . . . and a sneak peak at scarecrows!!! A-maize-ing!!!!! Definitely worth a few exit deleting clicks. Can't decide which one I like the best, so I'm glad that all will be available. Thank you to everyone for all the hard work to continue to improve our fun. The information in the newsletter was greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to the next issue already. This app remains the best on FB. :frog hiccough::frog hiccough::frog hiccough:

I know aren't they fantastic! It's been fun testing them, and they (along with everything on myFarm) has the best graphics! They tend to sit on top of of the rice about like the chickens do but everything else seems to sit into pretty nicely. I think it's just that the rice is so thick. Everyone is going to love these fantastic scarecrows, they are the best!

Happy Farming!

Just so people are aware the Scarecrows will probably launch initially as Credit item.

Exact details are still being hashed out but what is likely to happen is the houses will be moved from the 'Credit Only Window' and the Scarecrows taking their place. As I said though its still being hashed out as we are need income to keep the updates coming but we are committed to providing 'Free' players as complete a service as we can so we are always trying to juggle the two sides which are somewhat contradictory

[Mel]

I've already bought my farm credits (via PayPal) so that I'm ready for them when they get released! Yes, I am ocd, I'll have them all over my farm(s) and have more than one of each one!


Get ready & make sure you have your farm credits ready!


Happy Farming!

How fun...they look fantastic...I'm excited! See how the "Lady Scarecrow" (Patches) has a blue coat on just like my avatar? I may have to breakdown and buy the credits thru PayPal now.
