King's Lynn Leisure Farm is coming to Steam — it's free, of course, permanently. It includes everything from the web version, though we've removed content that might cause copyright issues.
You can directly import your save files from the web version. Steam supports cloud saves, so we finally don't have to worry about progress being cleared by the browser!
The game will launch on March 13 — the earliest date provided by Steam, which, coincidentally, is also the first day of the Chinese Grand Prix. (So we might not be online that day as we’ll probably be lining up at the fan stage lol
We still have one final major update in preparation for the Chinese GP: 2010s animals waiting to be added to the farm, Shanghai-exclusive vehicles and furniture, and other features that will launch alongside the Steam version.
Overall, this was an unforgettable journey. Heartfelt thanks to all the friends who spent time on the farm, and I hope you all had a wonderful winter break!!! 🥰🥰

Hello everyone, we would like to introduce ourselves. Our team consists of three girls based in Shanghai, and we are all F1 fans. Before the New Year, we had a week off, so we spent that week creating the demo of King's Lynn Leisure Farm. Before the release, we didn’t expect this game to receive so much attention. We are very touched by the love this game received from all over the world and have decided to continue refining the prototype because we have so many F1 gameplay ideas! We are thrilled to have this opportunity to present our ideas to everyone.
As you can see, we have completed most of the character drafts and are gradually adding them into the game. We will do our best to implement them during the winter break. In addition to the new characters, we also have some fun adventure scripts (such as "Little Red Riding Hood" and more) and new gameplay, skins, storylines, and interactive vehicles. We hope to bring some warmth to everyone during this short winter break!
The four-hour website downtime yesterday was due to a hosting payment issue. The server was suspended at 4 AM due to overdue fees from excessive traffic. Previously, overdue payments were during the day, but none of us were awake this time, so the hosting provider shut the server down. After we woke up, we recharged immediately. We're really sorry about the problem.
We know that in these days, as the game size increases, the server load is rising, and lag is becoming more frequent. The website we are using is meant for storing mini-games and didn’t originally have much traffic pressure. However, in recent weeks, I’ve been paying dozens of times more for traffic. I’m thinking about whether we need to upgrade the server, but honestly, it’s beyond our budget.
I don’t want to include any ads or purchases in the game (because I want to keep the game pure as fanart. Making money is absolutely NOT the original intention of creating it). However, I still have to find a solution to this problem. So, if you're willing, you can buy us a cup of winter break limited coffee.(ko-fi: https://t.co/jaSAchjyel) In gratitude, we’ve created a golden blessing car, which you can drive in the game, representing a beautiful blessing.
Alternatively, you can purchase our Steam game "Sensei! I Like You So Much!" It’s a fandom simulation game where you play as a fangirl creating fanfiction, buying merchs, and attending comic conventions. If you’re into creating or reading fanfiction, it’s worth a try! It’s recently nominated for IGN China’s Most Popular Indie Game of the Year Award, and you can vote for us if you'd like!
Anyway, as game designers and F1 fans, we are really happy that you like this game! We will be going to the Chinese Grand Prix in March. If you’re coming too, come find us for some freebies! #kingslynnleisurefarm
