5 Years In, and We’re Just Getting Started
Five years ago, we planted the first seeds of Sunflower Land. Today we’re entering our 5th year anniversary — and instead of looking back, we want to show you exactly where we’re headed.
Let’s be honest about the landscape. Lately the headlines have been brutal: Web3 games shutting down, quietly pivoting to Web2, or abandoning their tokens altogether. Most of that comes down to one thing — VC pressure. When you take money that expects 100x by next quarter, you don’t get to build patiently. You don’t get to take risks. You don’t get to survive a winter.
We never took that deal. Thought Farm is 100% independent, and it always has been. That independence is the entire reason we’re still here — free to explore our own ideas, make our own mistakes, and keep building while others fold.
None of it works without you. The community that’s farmed alongside us, argued with us, and stuck with us through every chapter is the reason the game, the team, and the economy keep growing. So here’s our thank-you: a real look at what’s coming.
We’re doubling down on the thing nobody else is doing — using five years as a benchmark Web3 game studio to keep shipping, keep experimenting, and keep strengthening what we’ve already built.
Sunflower Land
We’ve shipped great chapters and rough ones. We’ve launched NFTs people loved and NFTs that ran too hot. What’s never changed is the approach: iterate, experiment, ship, learn. Nobody has truly nailed Web3 gaming yet — but our chapter model keeps us innovating relentlessly until we do.
That iteration has produced something rare: a genuinely deep economy. Over 110 million FLOWER has been traded through the in-game marketplace, and that number is climbing faster every chapter. With five years of live-ops under our belt and serious game design talent now on the team, we understand our economic engine better than ever — and every mechanic ahead is designed to scale it, keep it sustainable, and pull in new players.
Here’s the road ahead:
- Chapter 15 — Ascensions: Grind through the swamp, crystal, moon, and many more islands.
- Chapter 16 — Caves & Pigs: Excavate and specialise your cave to collect unique Mushrooms, Beetles, and Mud to raise your pigs.
- Chapter 17 — Maps & Incubators: Craft Maps, launch expeditions, and discover rare eggs.
- Chapter 18 — Faction Land Grab: Strategise and conquer territory for your faction in our new faction system.
- Chapter 19 — Flour, Windmills & Ducks: Grind flour, bake bread, and feed your ducks.
- Chapter 20 — Mine Shaft: Descend the mine shaft, refine minerals, and hunt for crystals.
- Chapter 21 — Working Farmhands: Equip your Farmhands and put them to work across your farm and beyond.
- Chapter 22 — Tea Gardens: Grow your tea gardens and deepen your Bumpkin friendships.

Project II
We’re making strong progress on Project II, with early access expected November 2026.
Here’s why it’s different. Almost everyone in this genre builds a Monster RPG clone first, then bolts NFTs on afterward. We’re flipping the script. We’re designing the resource loops first — the NFT monsters, and exactly how they shape your gathering power — so the economy is booming from day one. Gathering, battling, exploring: every gameplay layer is built to amplify the things we know make Web3 gaming great.
If you love the economic side of our games, the twist we’ve built into this creature collector is going to get you.
And the most important part: we are not launching a new token. Project II runs on FLOWER. Founder monster NFTs, monster drops, marketplace trading, gated content — all FLOWER. Our vision has never been a pile of separate tokens chasing each other. It’s one strengthening economy, with FLOWER capturing the value of everything we build, across both games and everything that comes after.

What’s Next
Big things are coming. Prepare your farms for the mechanics ahead — and get ready for a whole new world to collect, battle, and explore.
To everyone who’s been here through the chapters, the winters, and the wins: thank you. You’re the reason any of this exists. Let’s build the next five years together. 🌻
