Where every day is short, sweet, and full of possibility.


[United States] – August 11, 2025 – The wait is over—solo developer Josh Koenig, in partnership with indie.io and LevelUp Games, is delighted to welcome players to Firefly Village, the cozy farming adventure where time moves in short, satisfying cycles and every moment counts. Available now on Steam for USD $8.99 with a limited-time 20% launch discount, Firefly Village reimagines farm life with no grind, no deadlines—just a compact, joyful loop of planting, harvesting, fishing, mining, and building relationships in a world full of charm.



Farm, Fish, Mine, and Make Friends—All at Your Own Pace

While other farming sims can overwhelm with complex, sprawling systems, Firefly Village offers everything players love about the genre in a streamlined, easy-to-enjoy experience, rich with activities designed for quick, satisfying in-game days. Built around snappy, arcade-style pacing that keeps players in the flow, its bite-sized days mean no wilting crops, punishing deadlines, or mandatory chores—just pure, cozy progress at a comfortable speed. Whether it’s watering crops as you stroll between plots, casting a fishing line in a sparkling stream, petting your animals, cooking a simple meal, or mining for rare gems, every action flows naturally into the next. Streamlined, intuitive controls make it easy to focus on the moment rather than menus, so players can slip in for a quick session or settle in for hours. Seasons pass in just seven in-game days, giving the world a lively rhythm while leaving plenty of room to explore, gather, and connect with neighbors.

A Village Alive With Personality

The heart of the village is its people, each with their own personalities and stories to uncover. Players will meet a cast of lovable characters, from Celia, the chaos-loving witch, to Odin, the enigmatic wanderer, to Tilly, the warmhearted village sweetheart who helps newcomers settle in. They’re just a few of the neighbors players will encounter while exploring—from friendly shopkeepers to reclusive villagers with secrets to share. Friendships grow through conversations, thoughtful gifts, and seasonal festivals that bring the whole community together.

Small World, Big Warmth

Seasonal shifts change the look and feel of the world—spring blooms give way to golden autumn leaves, and winter blankets the village in snow, with cute, cozy string lights glowing against the night. Each season also brings its own festivals, where the community gathers for activities that make the village feel alive. These quick, meaningful cycles mean there’s always something new around the corner, from a fresh harvest to a lively celebration.

“I wanted to recapture the feeling of Harvest Moon 64, where the smaller world and quicker pace made every action meaningful,” says solo creator Josh Koenig. “Firefly Village combines that sense of intimacy with the accessibility of games like Animal Crossing and Littlewood—pure cozy fun without the pressure.”

Firefly Village launches with full English and Simplified Chinese support, and is available now on Steam for USD $8.99, with a 20% discount for early buyers. Players can start their new life today and enjoy a world where changing seasons, friendly faces, and small joys make every day worth returning to. Stay connected with the solo developer of Firefly Village on Instagram for behind-the-scenes glimpses and updates from the village.
