On August 11, 2025, Firefly Village, a casual and relaxing farming game, will be available on Steam. Developed by Josh Koenig and indie.io, the game offers a bite-sized, stress-free experience for players looking to escape the daily grind.

In Firefly Village, players are new arrivals to a tight-knit farming community nestled in faraway hills. With a bag of turnip seeds, a watering can, and a roof over their head, players can build their new home in the village. The game's laser-sharp focus on enjoyment means that conventional farming worries are a thing of the past. As long as the seeds are watered every day, crops will grow and yield produce. Players can buy cows and chickens, and once they name them, they will manage themselves and provide milk and eggs, as long as players show them care and affection.

Beyond the farm lies the lake, the old mine, and of course, the village itself. Making a home in Firefly Village is about tending to the soil and the animals as it is about making connections with the townsfolk, learning their likes and dislikes, giving gifts, and slowly building up friendships. Each of the four seasons comes with its own festival, plants, and ways to harness the soil.

Firefly Village is designed to keep life feeling fresh and manageable. Each season runs for seven days, and players can work the land, explore the village, make friends, or simply kick back and enjoy the time as it goes. The game offers clear, satisfying progression that respects players' time.

Josh Koenig's goal was to provide a fresh take on farming sims, built around snappy, arcade-style pacing, to allow players to stay in the flow without getting bogged down by wilting crops and mandatory chores: Just pure cute and cozy fun.

Firefly Village is available in English and Simplified Chinese at launch. Players can enjoy the free demo, experience the charming Egg Festival, and wishlist the game to be the first to know when it's time to move in. Firefly Village is a game about enjoyment and satisfaction, with no harrowing deadlines, no looming threats, no penalties for failing to optimize farm work, just the land, friends, and the
