We can't wait to fully reveal our game very soon – for now, here's a first glance at where you'll be managing your stable from at the start of the game! (Don't worry, you can upgrade to a proper house later on!)

Who wants to move in? 😇

Cropped screenshot of our upcoming game, it shows an orange trailer home in a slightly messy yard, with a rusty old car and horse transporter parked on the side. In the background, you see a small town as well as the sea. Everything is hand-drawn in 2D.

Who wants to escape and live in a tiny lovingly hand-drawn trailer to raise horses? 🙋‍♀️

Okay, hundreds of players are discovering our programming game right now. 👀 But I have no idea where they're coming from! I can see lots of sales from Brazil in the backend, but I can't find the source of this hype.

If you know where this is coming from, I'd love to know! 😅

Start with just a few lines of Python code.
Step by step, your drone automates more of the farm 🌱🤖
Before you know it, your logic runs everything.

Is this how you imagined learning Python?

Skip the boring tutorials ⏳
Here you use Python-like code to control a drone and make everything run by itself 🤖🌱
Learning programming has never looked this fun.

Do you think this is real coding or just a game?

Bonescape is an exploration and trading game I've been working on: The discovery of a giant, verdant boneyard spurs on a flood of explorers, hunters, homesteaders, outlaws and merchants - and you.

Was ist los mit dem Titel von diesem Spiel? 🤨 The Farmer Was Replaced klingt seltsam, ist aber eine geniale Simulation, in der ich Farmdrohnen mit einer Python-ähnlichen Sprache programmiere. 👇
