Idle Fields

Idle Fields launched on February 20, 2024 and has received a steady stream of updates from KotieDev. Major milestones include: V1.1 (March 31, 2024) adding offline progression and a seasonal event; V1.2 (April 19, 2024) adding construction features and recyclers; V1.3 (November 24, 2024) — a significant update introducing two entirely new skills (Mining and Smithing), a new area, and full controller support; V1.4 (February 26, 2025) adding a new "Skill Locked" game mode and multiple save slots; followed by maintenance patches in March 2025, July 2025, and May 2026. Most recently, on August 10, 2026 — just one week before today — KotieDev posted a detailed announcement for Update 2.0. This upcoming update is described as reshaping the game with new active training methods (crab traps and tree saps are already in development), an inventory rework, outfit bonuses, new areas, food bonuses, more progression systems, a gold sink, and a reworked tutorial. The developer confirmed the update will first go to a public testing branch before a full release. KotieDev also acknowledged a period of low motivation but reaffirmed their commitment to continuing development. The store description also notes that more activities and cross-skill interactions are still planned. There is a named, in-progress update with specific features listed — this is concrete planned content, not just a vague intention.
