Hay Day is a popular farming game developed and published by Supercell. It is available for iOS and Android devices.
The game has millions of players and generates a significant amount of revenue each year. The game features a variety of activities and mini-games that are fun to play.
Why is Hay Day shutting down?
Hay Day is one of the most popular mobile games, developed by Supercell. It is a social management game where players can plant and harvest crops and interact with animals. The game features a touch-based control system where players can slide elements across the screen. The game also allows players to trade with friends and is integrated with Facebook and Game Center.
Avellar credits the success of the game to its design and how it balanced free-to-play monetization with player fun. She says that the team didn’t feel the need to force a tutorial on players. This helped the game stand out amongst a crowded marketplace of social games.
The team at Supercell has continued to support the game with updates, events, and new features. The game has a dedicated player base, with millions of players each month. It is also one of the most downloaded mobile games and is consistently ranked as a top game in app stores and Google Play.
Why do I need to update the game?
Developed and published by Finnish mobile game studio Supercell, Hay Day has been one of the top-grossing apps on the Apple App Store since it launched in 2012. The game is a simulation that invites players to run their farms. Its controls are based on touch gestures and the graphical representation is optimized for retina displays. The game also lets players connect to friends through Game Center and Facebook to trade and play together.
Demirdjian acknowledges that his team has to constantly patch the game to fix bugs and other problems that arise. But they also want to keep adding new features and content to the game that will attract and retain players.
For example, he points out that the team has recently added a chicken coop and a fishing lake to the game. These additions show that the team is listening to players’ feedback and looking for ways to make their experience better.
What can I do?
The developers of Hay Day want to make the game as realistic as possible so players will need to balance supply and demand. To ensure that you can keep up with demand it is important to always have enough crop seeds in your silo. This way you can fill orders without having to buy them from the non-playable characters that visit your farm.
It is also a good idea to avoid using up all of your crop seeds so that you can plant more. This will help you level up faster so that you can sell at higher prices. It is also a good idea to stock up on wood and iron, as these will help you to build better facilities on your farm. These can then allow you to produce more crops and sell them at higher prices. If you are experiencing problems with Hay Day then you can try restarting your device and force-stopping the app (iPhone) or closing the store and reopening it (Android). This may fix the problem.
How do I update the game?
Depending on your Android system, an update to the operating system can sometimes help to solve issues with apps like Hay Day. Ensure that your game is backed up to Facebook, Google+, or Game Center in case you need to restore a previous save file.
Also, check that you have enough storage space for the updated app. The app size is large and if you have a small amount of free space, the download could take a long time. You can clear out old apps or use a cleaning app like CCleaner to make room for the new update.
Supercell has acknowledged that some players are stuck at the “Updating…” screen and is investigating. In the meantime, they recommend that you restart your device and try again. If this does not work, you can try removing the app and reinstalling it. It should not affect your progress, but you may need to rebuild your farm from scratch.
