    Here at Tag we are getting pretty darn excited about Astro Ranch our space based farming sim!

    We are also pretty impressed with the concept art for the game which whilst looking lovely can be rather bizarre at times!! We think you'll love the wacky nature of the game - especially if you like Futurama, Animal Crossing and Space Station Silicon Valley (look it up!)

    Anyway I'll be posting some of the concept art up here over the coming weeks and look forward to hearing what you think. To start with here is some early concept work for the main character Sindy and her pet robot dog Rusty.

    Beta testing will begin next month. We have over 500 on the candidate list for only 20-25 places!

    If you aren't on the list then you'll not be chosen. Email [email protected] to get on the list and have a chance to help us make this the best game ever!

    Cheers

    The game director/artist of Silicon Valley is Jamie Bryan our creative director here at Tag! Not many people got the chance to play the game as it was never given the marketing push it deserved but those that did loved it... even Shigeru Miyamoto. I was told it was his favourite game at the time!

    Astro Ranch will have a similar art style and humour but will be more farming sim than puzzle based.

    If there's enough interest I might be persuaded to stick an exclusive work in progress screengrab up here at some point!

    Cheers

    Here's some animals in various different stages of gestation! Playing the latest build now and it's really coming on... screengrab coming later once I've grown some nice crops!
