Swiss automation game The Farmer Was Replaced by solo dev Timon Herzog and indie publisher @metaroot.bsky.social combines meditative automated farming with hardcore Python-like coding. What sounds unintuitive has become a great success.

🥳 100,000 copies sold!! 🤖🌾

It still feels unreal. It's a programming-farming game from a solo developer, and it worked!

Huge thanks to everyone who played, shared, or made memes about it. You made this happen. 💛

Now… what’s next, 200k? 👀

#Sponsored I haven't seriously coded since MySpace was a thing. Luckily, I had the opportunity to play #TheFarmerWasReplaced, & it made it easy to jump into.

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?

Metaroot @metaroot.bsky.social · 12d

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.
