www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSFf-ySOPtcWow, I can't believe what I just witnessed. The above official video published by Team Hay Day is so short and uninspiring and doesn't motivate me to look forward to download the new update. A new crop? A new machine? Two new sanctuary animals? An QOL change to improve the readability of the newspaper? Sadly, if Hay Day continues down this path of predictable paint-by-numbers development, I'd like to suggest changes be made to Hay Day starting with management. At Supercell, the "CEO" of each game team is called the Game Lead (GL). But wait, HD has a new GL in place after the previous GL left in August 2023 to become the Game Resourcing Lead whose new team "supports all Helsinki-based game teams by managing our pool of internal and external resources" per his CV in LinkedIn. Good luck to the current HD GL in inspiring more creativity in future updates.

Dear lynnk2021, Dairy News is not meant to be Release Note, nor HayDay never lists all the changes implemented. It's more like official sneakpeeks nowadays. I'm sorry you feel uninspiring. Here's something to cheer you up! (I tried ) PS: and the ghost should be back soooon!

First of all, thank you for trying to cheer me up. My current perception is Team Hay Day doing the bare minimum in the Dairy News video. We've gone from seeing Game Designer Camilla Avellar appearing in the videos to Cartoon Cammie aka AI Camilla to the current disappointing vehicle for disseminating Sneak Peeks.
I must wonder if HD's current marketing strategy is to diminish its official presence in the Sneak Peeks space and cede the spotlight to its group of Content Creator to publish longer and detail oriented videos? For example, I've watched Ricky Burnett's video about the Fall Update and learned the newspaper won't show the sellers' icons and decrease the size of their names and enlarge and center the goods. I think these important details should be emphasized in Diary News, the official video for Sneak Peeks.
Since Team Hay Day seem to put so little effort into producing their official videos, I'd like to suggest they promote their Content Creators' videos more often, videos which are more engaging and exciting than the official videos, IMO.

Sorry I am with lynnk2021, am really uninspired & disappointed with the last few updates. Am so over new machines when so many of the current machines are under utilised. A new crop & more sanctuary animals 🙄. At this stage the only thing that would excite me, would be an extension of town & new buildings.

Sorry to anyone who's looking forward to this update (if we can even call it an update), but I agree with everyone who doesn't like this. Updates used to be something I was excited about and now it's just a repeat of the same old stuff.
We don't need nor want any more production machines nor sanctuary animals. Most players I hear say exactly this, but we get more anyways.
What I find most ironic is that SC is bragging that they listened to the players with their Daily Dirt improvement. If they really listened to us they'd have given us an update to the town that players have been begging for for years.

New machines, new crops, new products every 3 months isn’t sustainable forever. Eventually the game will collapse under its own weight.

I agree. We don’t need new crops, products, or machines. Maybe a new one of each every year, but even that has to stop sometime.
And we never, ever, ever, need any more zoo animals.
They absolutely DO NOT listen to players. For years and years we’ve asked for a town update and they aren’t even decent enough to just say no. They completely ignore the request and just shove more zoo animals in our faces.
They only “listen” to the players who are asking for things they want to do anyway and ignore everyone else.
