Goodbye Everdale!

31 Oct 2022 (UTC 10:00AM) - A farewell to Everdale... Goodbye. 😭

About a month ago, I was introduced to a game called Everdale, published by game company - Supercell. I knew the brand for another game (Hay Day, a game that I used to play with my family members) and decided to give it a go since it was also a casual game. 


Just within a few days into the game, I saw the official announcement on Facebook - that the game was ending its developments quoting that Everdale did not meet their ambitions for a Supercell game. Nonetheless, I continued playing the game out of curiosity and soon realised that it was such a wholesome and peaceful game, and that it was such a pity, that the game couldn't live on. 

Every player's village was a part of a bigger valley (made up of a max of 10 villages) and the objective of it was to collaborate and grow the valley by contributing materials/coins to any building project (such as fields to grow crops, or production buildings, events etc...). 


Within our own villages, we would assign the villagers to tasks, such as researching (to unlock upgrades, production buildings... etc), mining logs/clays/stones, harvesting apples, harvesting pumpkins (to make soup - the villagers only drink soup as a meal), etc.



On the final day, I just let my villagers rest and chill out - with the limited number of items that I managed to get in the short span of time I had playing the game 😭.


The valley I joined and stayed till the end of its time...

We could give gifts to each other (for free, once a day) and it would show up as little balloon presents in our valleys... how cute.


Sadly,... they switched the servers off as they had planned, and the game has vanished from the Google Play stores. 

Its so difficult to find multiplayer games like these... no hate, just collaborate. I really had fun while it lasted. That's about it, my #minitribute to the game!
