Developer Sean Young is still working very hard to make Littlewood better than ever!
For those that missed it, Littlewood is an adorable indie RPG that looks and plays a bit like Stardew Valley. Live the life of a hero rebuilding a society. At its core, the game is a village sim with plenty of things to do. It offers the usual features like chopping wood, mining ores, catching bugs, and fishing; as you come to expect from a life simulation game with a focus on farming.
The latest update brings a ton of new content, including some different breeds of flowers, a watering can, and even a Salon! The new Beauty Salon will allow players to change the appearance of their character, and even take a self portrait of the results. To see a full list of all the new additions, you can see the blog post on Steam.
Sean even mentions that the next big project that he would like to tackle is the addition of a Grand Library. A major undertaking, to be sure, but one that will add yet another layer of depth to this already expansive life sim game.

Islands, villagers, and jellies – oh my! Alchemic Cutie wraps them all into one cute package. Developers Vakio and Viridian Software along with slime-loving publisher CIRCLE Entertainment are behind this new wholesome adventure RPG and it is now coming to Nintendo Switch.
About Alchemic Cutie
The game is set on Wimba Island, a bright pixel world that reminds me a little bit of Littlewood or even Stardew Valley’s Pelican Town. The game features an open world to explore with beautiful areas such as beaches, forests, the main village, and a Jelly Shrine!
In Achelmy Cutie you will be taming slime-like creatures called “jellies.” There are over 4,000 visual styles for jellies and each jelly will have unique traits and statistics.
They also have needs like hunger, energy, and happiness. You can show off your jellies by entering them into different competitions, how adorable is that?
Befriend the many villagers of Aimba!
You can even meet Wimba’s villagers to form new friendships or rivalries, whatever your preference is. The town is filled with unique characters to meet and engaged with.
The World is yours to explore!
One exciting and unique feature is the world map to help you navigate, the map expands as new locations are discovered. What makes this feature unique to similar games is that, once a place has been visited, you can use the map to fast travel there.
No more running back and worth and loosing valuable time to get your daily tasks done!
Alchemic Cutie coming to Nintendo Switch and other Platforms!
Alchemic Cutie is coming to Steam and itch.io sometime this year as well as PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One! In celebration of PAX East a brand new trailer has been revealed. Check out the adorable game trailer below!

Japan has become the status symbol for everything cute and adorable ( at least in the Animal Crossing World ) and this title made by a small indie development team known for Food Truck Pup is now making a life simulation game about Japanese Rural Life!
Game Start LLC is a small development team that recently caught my attention for their adorable mobile game Food Truck Pup, where you play as a pup and run a food truck in a village filled with other puppies, its adorable and tons of fun. You can read more about it here.
Japanese Rural Life
The small team has not revealed a lot of information as of yet. They did however tease us with a first screenshot that not only features an adorable art style but also gives us a first look at what the game may entail!
Game about Japanese Rural Life by GAME START LLC Farming, lots of farming!
The first screenshot of the game does feature what appears to be a garden and could hint at an extensive gardening focus in the game. You can already see that the little guy in the image is hard at work growing, carrots, turnips and more!
Fishy, fishy, fishy…
The little garden plot in front of the cabin also includes a tiny pond with a fish in it. Since this game is a life simulation game with a focus on farming I would think that this little pond is used to raise fish and farm fish!
Japanese Rural Life Release Date!
This article was updated with the most recent information on June 6th, 2021.
The developer recently lifted the curtain on the Japanese Rural Life Release Date and revealed some adorable details about a mountain candy shop, take a peak right here.

The adorable indie, Littlewood, grows cuter every day! Marriage and relationships coming soon!
Sean Young, the developer of Littlewood, has been working diligently to add all kinds of new goodies to his game. Not only that, but there has been major effort made lately into making the game run more smoothly. Squashing all the little bugs in an early access game can certainly be quite the task.
Luckily, Sean was nice enough to let us get our hands on it so we can help find all those pesky bugs, report them, and help make the game absolutely perfect. Littlewood has certainly gained the attention of many life-sim fans, and has so far proven itself to be a wonderful and worth-while game.
What’s new?
Sean recently released a huge list of all the changes made recently to the game that were implemented in the update. This list includes lots of new decor items for your home and town. Not only that, but many of the bug fixes mentioned above where also put into the game.
The new decor includes tables, chairs, wallpapers and much more. There have also been a few new events added to the game, including the Bug Swarm Event (sounds exciting). These are just a few of the changes that have been made to Littlewood. To see the full rundown, you can check out the devlog here.

With 2019 coming to a close, I wanted to take a moment to look back at all of the amazing games I’ve played and reviewed this year. I’d also like to give a special thanks to the developers and publishers that have supplied me with codes and gave me the chance to experience some real indie gems! There have been many awards given this past month, however I just wanted to highlight some wholesome games that I have spent a large amount of time playing.
Let’s start with farming sims because, for me, this category was the hardest one to narrow down to a select few because it is arguably my favorite genre and there were so many great indie games to go through!
Alchemy Story
Created by solo developer Éloïse Laroche, this adorable art style caught my attention immediately from little chicks with bow ties to the happiest cows wearing bells. Alchemy Story is about saving the many villagers that have been cursed by a witch and using all of your skills as an alchemist to turn them from animals into humans again! This game has been on Steam Early Access since August 22nd, 2019 and continues to receive regular updates such as new characters and customization options.
Littlewood
This adorable game with small pixels but huge heart, is all about making friends and having them move into your town. What I find most interesting about the town is how much you can make it your own by changing the elevation of the ground, placing your own paths and ponds, and much more! Created by sole developer Sean Young, this game has been on Steam since June and continues to grow with new features such as mini-games and pets! It has also been confirmed that this game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Staxel
Staxel is a voxel-style building game developed by Plukit and published by Humble Bundle. I played this game on Steam back in April and loved building homes for my villagers brick-by-brick. You can create anything you can imagine with blocks such as chicken coops, tool sheds, flowerbeds, and more! Also, the stores are really adorable to shop in and the workshops make creating things fun!
Garden Paws
What can I say about Garden Paws that hasn’t already been said? I have spent the most amount of hours on this game on Steam that I have ever spent on a farming sim. It has everything from several quests, crafting/building, exploration, taming pets, farm animals, running a shop, fishing, mining, and more!
It’s hard to sum up everything I love about this adorable game and the creators keep adding more things to do with more islands, creatures, dungeons, festivals/events, and items that keep me returning to the world of Florens.
There are many other farming sims on my radar for the future, mainly Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, Doraemon Story of Seasons, Rune Factory 5, and basically anything I’ve talked about here. There are some games I have yet to finish, or at least play more of, like Re:Legend and Stranded Sails, and games like Stardew Valley that have such large new updates, they might as well be sequels! Stay tuned for my next category for another list of games I’ve played this year.
