Riverton

Last updated: June 23, 2025

Hello, Rivertonians!

Development on Visit Riverton is coming along swimmingly! Since the last news update, we now have:

• Care UI has been completed. You can find this in Your Stables when managing any of your adoptables.
• Jobs via a Temp Agency are now available and completed. These will refresh daily once you complete them. If you do not complete the job, you will have to complete it before getting another.
• Cooking is now available in Your Homestead after finding your Kitchen Keys, which are lost somewhere. You will need to pick up Recipes, which will remain in Your Inventory, but cooking two items will consume both of them in favor of the made item. A Recipe is available for sale at the Bazaar.
• Farming is now available in Your Homestead. You can buy Seeds of all sorts at the Farm Supply. It takes 5 days of watering to get a harvested plant, which can be sold or traded.
• Fishing has been completed with a total of 25 fish to catch and the final UI is completed. New art is courtesy of Visit Riverton's background artist, Ken. Thank you, Ken!
• Upgrades to your House and Farm which initially cost $10,000. More costs will be laid out later.
• Help Documentation is available from the userbar icons.
• Forums are open, but require an extra step. Players already have an account but will need to reset their password (accessible from the login screen) and activate their forum account before being able to log in. The forums include the ongoing changelog, a thread for suggestions and feedback, and bug reports.

The intial expectation of entering Beta was February 1st, but some aspects of farming took much longer than expected. As far as the future roadmap, we'll start here. I'd like to have these things done by Beta and 1.0, so I'm going to put them here as the official roadmap.

Visit Riverton Roadmap

Beta, March 1st:

• More Recipes! DONE
• Clean-up job will be available, where you gather trash and litter around Riverton and turn it in for a paycheck. You also will have a chance to find lost historic items that might trigger a storyline. DONE
• Random item drop to collect daily. DONE

Launch:

• Homepage revamp! DONE

• Horse competitions to finally face against other players in racing and, hopefully, more categories soon. DONE
• Training to improve your horse's skills. DONE
• User shops to sell items. DONE
• Dirty/clean mechanism for adoptables so the care brush isn't just for moods. DONE

Post-Launch:

These are features we'd like to launch and not a guarantee that these will be implemented if we are limited for some reason.
