Addicting Crop-Growing Games

FarmVille English Countryside Claims that It's Better Than FarmVille

— March 31, 2011 — Business
FarmVille English Countryside is the newest release by Zynga, which is an extension of the massively popular game FarmVille. The game promises that it will be better and faster, letting you try out new crops and breed sheep like never before!

While some users are excited about FarmVille English Countryside, others are angry because both farms cannot be maintained simultaneously. You must pause one farm and keep the crops from growing in order to attend to your other farm. People love their farms and are not likely to give them up easily! There has been a petition going around Facebook with 12,000+ people signing up, asking Zynga to let them operate both farms at once. If FarmVille English Countryside wants to live on, it may need to make more of an effort to keep users happy!
Trend Themes
1. Expansion of Crop-growing Games - With the popularity of FarmVille English Countryside, there is a growing demand for new and improved crop-growing games that allow users to expand their farms and grow different crops in innovative ways.
2. Integration of Multiple Farms - As seen with the backlash from users, there is a trend towards integrating multiple farms in crop-growing games, providing an opportunity for developers to create new gameplay mechanics that allow users to efficiently manage and grow crops in multiple farms.

Gamification of Farming - The success of FarmVille English Countryside highlights a trend towards gamification of agriculture, which presents opportunities for startups to develop innovative and educational farming games that are not only fun but also promote sustainability and environmental consciousness.
Industry Implications
