Another intense month of work has passed, and Nivalis continues to take shape under our hands, growing alongside us as a team. Among the many daily challenges it presents, we've recently been focusing on implementing and optimizing certain features, improving the save system, and welcoming and guiding new members into our team.

We enjoyed reading your comments under our previous blog post, and your creativity has certainly been an inspiration! Of course, we can’t promise that all of your ideas will make it into the game, but for some of them, you’ll definitely see our personal touch woven into the Nivalis experience.

This month, we want to shine a spotlight on one of the features you’ve mentioned – farming - which will be present in the game in a particular form.


In a city like Nivalis, space for urban greenery is limited. While many citizens love to decorate their personal spaces with some plants, farming requires something more advanced.

For this reason, scattered across various areas of the map, you’ll find multiple greenhouses. These high-tech structures will allow you to grow crops even in an industrial environment and will be highly customizable to suit your needs… and farming skills.

Inside the greenhouses, you’ll be free to use the available space as you see fit, decorating and equipping it with specialized machinery purchased from different vendors around the city, each catering to a specific purpose. You’ll be able to grow mushrooms, grains, vegetables - if you acquire the necessary seeds - and even print meat and automate certain processes, such as irrigation.

Through a farming console, you’ll be able to configure the conditions of your personal farm for optimal cultivation and the best possible yield. These control consoles will allow you to adjust various parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light - factors that directly influence the growth speed of your crops.

Every citizen - with enough money - can rent and manage more than one greenhouse. Over time, with the right skills, you’ll be able to acquire more seeds and unlock advanced modules to expand your farming empire!

What you do with your harvest is entirely up to you: you can sell it for profit or use it to supply ingredients for your restaurants. Given that running a restaurant will become quite the challenge at a certain point, using your crops this way might not be a bad idea - it could definitively help you optimize your profits.

There’s more waiting for you in the streets of Nivalis, and we know you can’t wait to dive into the secrets of this city, but we ask for just a little more patience. This is a slow cook, but we hope you’ll enjoy the journey.

2025, as you know, is a big year for Nivalis, and it has kicked off with plenty of excitement and challenges to tackle. We’ve taken the opportunity to come together as a team to analyze and discuss some of the features awaiting you in the game, refining the details and considering the improvements needed to achieve our goal: immersing you in a city that feels alive, whether it’s day or night.

In this community blog, we’ll be talking about some of the features we’ve been working on this month, giving you a glimpse into the activities you’ll experience in Nivalis.

FISHING AT NIGHT 🍣

In Nivalis, gathering ingredients for your business’s kitchen will mainly be your responsibility. A well-stocked pantry is essential to satisfy the orders of hungry customers, and running out of ingredients can be costly for your wallet. You’ll have access to a variety of merchants with whom you can trade and build business relationships, but sometimes it might be more practical to take matters into your own hands and... go fishing.

At the docks, you’ll be able to set sail on your boat to search for the perfect catch for your sushi dishes, whether during the day or at night. This month, we’ve worked to ensure you can not only enjoy fishing during daylight hours but also experience the gentle rocking of the sea at sunset and take advantage of nighttime fishing opportunities. When exhaustion sets in, your boat will serve as a cozy refuge where you can rest and spend the night.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE NEWSPAPER 📰

Staying up to date is essential in a bustling city like Nivalis, where there’s never a dull moment. That’s why every morning, you’ll have the chance to read the local newspaper to catch up on the latest news and, occasionally, find information that - if you’re clever enough to take advantage of - could give your business a significant edge.

For instance, the start of the fishing season or a sudden drought could influence the availability (and therefore the price) of various goods on the market. Stay sharp, plan your daily purchases wisely, and don’t let these changes catch you off guard.


Now it’s your turn: what activities would you like to experience in Nivalis? Let us know, and maybe we can explore them further in the next community blog!

See you soon 🍜
