Godville is a story driven farm game!

Most of the story you will get from communication with characters.
Paul, Olivia, Jack, Natalie, Professor Dig, Doctor Socool and Alfred:
all of them will guide you through the world of Goodville!

The most important character for your progress in the game is Paul The Merchant.
He will offer you new ideas for the farm benifit and provide you with new plants and animals!
He might be a bit annoying, but that's just because he strives to make your farm a very profitable place ;)

Jack the Builder - he's always up to build and upgrade something, but try to keep it to one update at time.
Because several simultaneous upgrades will tire both Jack and you :)

Aside from your Home Farm - there is a vast teritory outside of it!
Make sure to visit expeditions and repair your car for weekly events.

In conclusion, if you find a balance between upgrading your farm, making quests with Paul and traveling to expeditions - your experience in Goodville will be great!

Good luck! :)
