KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN LAUNCH DATE: Thursday March 19th!

We're extremely excited to be able to announce that our Kickstarter campaign for Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 will be launching next week, on Thursday March 19th!

The campaign will run for 35 days, and while our initial target will be £15,000 we do of course have a number of stretch goals in mind if we manage to pass that point.

As we've previously discussed, the game itself has been self-funded until release later this year, but everything raised in the Kickstarter campaign will go towards making the game the best it can be - while also opening up options for the community to get closer to the game... and even get into the game itself in a number of ways!

For the full details, you'll only have wait one more week, but as a sneak preview some of the rewards we've lined up include a chance to playtest the game pre-release with the Skyhook Games team, some exclusive opportunities to customise your in-game experience, or even immortalise yourself in the game by snapping up naming rights for the town!

So if you've not already given us a Follow on Kickstarter (https://tinyurl.com/3p7hapdw), what are you waiting for? ːsteamhappyː

Following last month’s update that rounded up all of the equipment coming to the game at launch we wanted to follow-up with another topic that is extremely important in a game about cutting grass… and that’s the grass!

We’ve mentioned previously that while we were proud of the grass technology we implemented in the original Lawn Mowing Simulator, it was fairly resource-hungry and didn’t leave any real headroom for us to add much more to the game (the prime example of this was leaf-blowing).

So a core part of the reason for creating a new game was to rebuild everything from scratch using the experience we gained last time around - but better! And top of the list of priorities was a more realistic and visually understandable grass technology that would make the act of mowing and trimming much more satisfying - and intuitive - than before.

While we’ve released clips showing early versions of that grass tech in action, we’re now at the point where we’re close to an implementation which is representative of what we’re expecting to achieve at launch (although, please note, this is still very much work-in-progress!)

And what we really wanted to do was create something that would demonstrate just how much difference there will be between the two games - as well as trying to future-proof for potential expansions or additional ideas going forwards.

To give you an idea of the effect we’re aiming for, the new tech allows us to have millions of blades of grass in an environment, while also looking much more natural and realistic. What’s more the variation in height and tuftiness will give you a much clearer indication of how thick the grass is - which is a crucial element in deciding how to approach a section of lawn in terms of speed or cut height.

And this means - yes! You’ll be able to anticipate better those areas which might push your mower into the red at a glance, so no more overworking the engine by accident!

The grass also looks a lot more natural when cut - all the way to the borders, so there’s no more ‘thinning hair’ effect that you’d sometimes see before.

But, as mentioned, what you’re seeing here isn’t finished - we will continue to work on it and improve in the coming months, up to launch and beyond, building on variety and visual fidelity as much as we can.

Hopefully that whets your appetite further for Lawn Mowing Simulator 2, and helps to demonstrate just how much of a difference this part of the game can make. We’re homing in fast on our Kickstarter campaign now so if you haven’t already, please consider giving us a Follow… especially if you’re interested in snagging an Early Bird discount or even getting your name into the game itself!

Hopefully you’ve been enjoying playing Lawn Mowing Simulator and the Heritage Park DLC? We still have one or two tweaks coming to a couple of platforms, but other than that we’re really glad we were able to get the content update and final DLC out to everybody in the end!

Meanwhile, we wanted to give you a bit of an update about Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 \ - over the past few months we’ve been revealing the equipment line-up we have planned for inclusion when the game releases. In that time we’ve announced partnerships with Kubota, SCAG® and STIGA to bring selected mowers and gardening machines from their real-life line-ups to Lawn Mowing Simulator 2!

To help you see how things are shaping up for release, here’s a comparison of the basic numbers:

As you can see, we’re delighted to be bringing more equipment options to Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 at launch than we were able to for the original game - and while we’re not able to talk about what we might have planned for post-release additions, we do indeed have plans…

If you missed any of the equipment reveals we’ve also created a handy round-up chart showing each of the mower and gardening machine models announced so far, alongside those in the original game:

As a reminder, we’re not always able to work with every manufacturer that we’d like, and we’re not able to include a manufacturer or their equipment in the game without permission.

The eagle-eyed among you will notice there’s one entry under LMS2 that’s still TBC… wonder what that might be? Keep across our socials as we’ll be revealing that one before too long - and for all the latest information (usually before anywhere else) head over to our Discord \, and don’t forget to follow our forthcoming Kickstarter campaign \!

Finally, if you’re looking forward to more lawncare goodness, we’d appreciate it if you could Wishlist LMS2 on Steam \ - it really helps us out!

Hi Everyone,

We’re incredibly excited to announce that a sequel to Lawn Mowing Simulator is officially in development. We’re building on everything you loved from the original – and with your support, we can make this next chapter even bigger and better.

To bring our vision to life, we’ve recently announced our plans for a Kickstarter campaign, and our pre-launch page is now live. We’d love your support, so please follow our campaign here:

https://tinyurl.com/3p7hapdw

But don’t worry – we haven’t forgotten where it all started.

We’re still actively supporting Lawn Mowing Simulator and its recent DLC. Whether you’re starting out or revisiting for another run, now’s a great time to jump back in (and onto that mower!) and experience everything the game has to offer.  Some elements might just tie into what’s coming next... ;-)

We’ll be sharing development updates, sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes content throughout our Kickstarter campaign – so make sure you follow Skyhook Games to stay in the loop.

Thank you so much for being a part of our journey from the start, and we’d love you to join us for the next adventure.

Stay tuned!

Hey everyone! 

WE’RE BACK! and thrilled to announce the release of the Heritage Park DLC—the biggest expansion yet for Lawn Mowing Simulator. Explore the rich industrial legacy of two sprawling new locations: Roskell Quarry Park and Mill View Park. 

In addition, it comes with a free QOL update with some graphical upgrades and quality of life features, including much requested mid-contract saving.  

HERITAGE PARK DLC 

Roskell Quarry Park

Overlooked by the Victorian era mill, Roskell Quarry Park has been created inside what was once a working quarry. This exciting new location features large exhibits from the mill and quarry’s industrial past. Mow beneath giant cogs and strim between old rail lines in this expansive new location. 

Mill View Park 

Welcome to Mill View Park, a spacious and quaint public park inspired by traditional British landscaping. Nestled alongside the river with great views of Roskell Mill in the distance, this location offers 4 distinct areas to cut: a walking area, a wooded area, a flowerbed area and a picnic/play area.  

For those players that like a longer experience, a new whole park contract type has been added for Mill View and Roskell Quarry parks, where dedicated players can complete a cut of the entire location.    

Patterson ZTA-XL

This pack also features a striking new Zero-Turn mower from the Patterson brand, featuring a wide 145cm/57-inch deck and a powerful 26.8hp engine to handle the largest of locations. 

Features: 

• 8 Contract Locations
