Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes:

1. Halloween Items (2 weeks ago) and 4 new Fences (Straw, Bamboo, Golden and Grapevine).

2. 32 x 32 Farm Expansions for farms 1 - 5: Here are the prices -> 4,000,000,000 Coins or 30 FarmCash.

3. Extra Box/Product when Hiring Strangers from the Marketplace: To increase work availability in the marketplace we have decided to reward those who hire strangers (not a Buddy or neighbour) in the Marketplace. That is to say, if you go to the Marketplace to hire others you will receive an extra product (regular non-large box, fruits, flower, log or fish) in your storage for each product harvested. This will help employers having more products to load their facilities.

4. 8x8 tools: Harvester, Seeder, Plower, Harvest-Plow Combine and Harvest-Plant Combine are now available in 8x8 mode, this will allow you to perform farming operations over 64 fields at a time, almost twice as with 6x6 tools.

5. Dim Out Non Relevant Items for Tools: This is a new preference in the Preference Window. Whenever you select a tool, items that are not relevant to that tool will be dimmed out so that you can have easier access to the items that you're actually going to work on. For example when you select the harvest tool you will only see harvestable items. When you select the fishing rod you will only see water items with grown fish on them. This will work when you are farming on your farms or other people farms.

6. Minigames Prizes: When you play any of the 7 minigames you will now have the chance to win coins and ingredients based on your performance. You will be able to earn up to a certain amount of coins and ingredient daily, that amount will increase as you move up your FarmTown level. Users on level 200 or higher will be able to make 1,000,000 coins in Practice mode and another 1,000,000 in multiplayer mode for each Minigame.

7. Random pop-up dialogs to Tend farms removed: People on higher levels (greater than 50) will not see any more random dialogs popping up about your neighbour farms needing tend, these dialogs are not very helpful anymore for advanced users and gets in the way.

8. Hide Items Faster: When you Hide items individually using the 'Hide' menu option the confirmation popup that shows up will now appear only once per session.
