Paderborn, Germany, October 7, 2024:  Aerosoft and Thera Bytes are pleased to announce the official launch of Global Farmer, their top-down, strategic farming manager now available on Steam for PC through Early Access. Global Farmer invites players to plant, manage, and grow virtual farms anywhere on Earth using real-world geographical and scientific data to replicate local weather conditions, expected crop output and much more.

 

Learn everything you need to know about this original take on Farming Games, taking players out of the cabin of their favorite farming vehicle, and instead allowing them to manage an entire squadron of tractors, combine harvesters and plows to name but a few, all with the aim to expand operations, increase yields and maximize profits.

Global Farmer’s key features:

 

Farm the World: With Global Farmer, the world is your farm. Thanks to OpenStreetMap you can set up your farm in any real-world location, from urban landscapes to rural expanses, adapting to local soil and climate. Farm besides the Empire State Building, the Taj Mahal or your bedroom window.

 

Strategic Farm Management: Focus on the intricacies of farm operations without the need for hands-on vehicle control. Players will engage in strategic planning, managing a fleet of agricultural machinery, and optimizing crop cycles for maximum yield.

 

Real-World Data Integration: The game incorporates actual soil quality, seasonal weather patterns, and regional flora, offering an authentic farming experience that reflects the chosen location's environmental conditions.

 

Economic Strategy: Beyond planting and harvesting, players can take on contracts to deliver goods, manage finances to expand operations or invest in new technology, reflecting the economic aspects of modern farming.

 

Animal Husbandry: Players can also delve into livestock farming, managing different animals for products like milk, eggs, and wool, adding another layer of strategy to gameplay.

 

Customization and Community: A comprehensive Map Editor allows players to customize or create new farming environments. These creations can be shared via the Steam Workshop, encouraging community interaction and creativity.

 

Global Farmer has officially entered Early Access on Steam for PC, providing a platform for players to experience and influence the game's development.
