Hello gardeners! The spooky season is in full swing, there is no better time for a ghostly update! For the 1.1.0 update we have prepared a lot of cool things! We've added a new feature called the Botanical Mastery and some new things to be unlocked through it.
Botanical Mastery
After unlocking the second room, you'll get a new section inside the Trophy menu called the Botanical Mastery. Inside this section you can find the Plant of the day and the Themed Packs. You can select which Themed Pack you want to unlock and each point you get by growing a plant, will slowly add up and help you unlock new plants and decorations! You can change at any time which Themed Pack you are currently unlocking, so don't be overwhelmed! Take your time and unlock everything!
Plant of the day Each day everyone will get a new Plant of the day. If you plant the seed and let it grown, you will get some additional points when it's fully grown! But remember, this bonus is applied to the first five seedling you plant this way. Cottagecore There is nothing better than going back to the countryside with some themed decorations.
- 6 new vases
- 5 new furniture
- 11 new decorations
- 1 new background
Spooky Season The spookiest time of the year! Decorate your gardens with some ghostly furniture and some mystical new plants.
- 3 new plants
- 6 new vases
- 3 new furniture
- 9 new decorations
- 1 new background
Plants and Seeds
More combinations! Six new plants, two for each type, are obtainable by hybridizing the various seeds. Check them out in your herbarium for more information about them!
A little sneak peek of the different plants! Don't they all seem very nice?
Quality of Life
Gamepad Support Controller support has been added! You can plug your controller to your PC and it should automatically identify it and start playing comfortably. The icons should also change to reflect the fact that the controller is being used. DLSS One more thing we have done is adding the Deep Learning Super Sampling or DLSS for short by Nvidia (requires RTX 20-series and above) and AMD FSR. It's a small thing but can help make the game run better on lower end computers. If you don't know what this is, don't worry about it. We still have more things prepared until the end of the year, so I hope you will stick with us in this cozy journey! Thank you for playing Garden In! -The Dramatic Iceberg Team

Hello gardeners and thank you for your patience! I know we have been quiet for a while now, but a lot of things happened, and it turns out, running a videogame studio is not as easy as we thought. We're very sorry that this fix took way longer than intended; rest assured that we are still keeping a close eyes on the Steam forums for issues that arise.
Updates
- Added 10 new decorations - Added 3 new furniture items These new items are spread throughout the existing room progression , so if you've already completed the relevant rooms, you may find them already unlocked the next time you start the game. No spoilers, boot up the game and see for yourself what they are.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where the menu's context text disappear while navigating locked items. - Fixed an inventory's bug that created a page without props or furniture. - Fixed the "Master Gardener" achievement requiring an incorrect number of plants to be completed. - Fixed the "Every Single one" research displaying an incorrect amount of plants needed to be grown in the Garden. - Fixed the "Hands in the Dirt", "Head in the Clouds", "Feet in the Water" achievements not requiring all the plants of their generation to be unlocked.
Plans and Next Steps
There is more content ready to go, more plants, more furniture, new decorations and some colorful backgrounds! As a first sneak peek, this is the silhouette of one of the new plants that are coming in the update 1.1.0.
What type of plant do you think it is? It seems to be quite colorful!
Herbarium
For all lovely gardeners who enjoyed our game, we have prepared a small art book / herbarium with all the different plants that we have created. It contains additional trivia and scientific facts about each of the plants within.
These pages aren't finalized, we are still putting some finishing touches to them. The herbarium will be available to purchase with our next update, so please be on the lookout for the news.
Extras
For all you wonderful Steam Deck players, we are working on getting the game verified with some small quality of life in order to make it run better. In the meantime we have added controller support to make it easier to play. We also are aware that some Linux users are having trouble running the game. We are trying to replicate the issues but we are having a hard time detecting what might be the problem. If anyone has more information about it, please do report it in the Forum. Thank you for playing Garden In! -The Dramatic Iceberg Team

Hello hello,
Welcome to the second Garden In! devlog.
Last time we took a look at some of our plants and the different types you'll find in the game.
Now we're going to talk a little bit about the rooms, the environments you'll decorate with the lovely greenery you'll be growing.
There are 4 rooms inside the game.
Each with it's own intended purpose, but of course you can change, decorate and move enough things to shape it to your own liking. Let's start, shall we?
The Studio
Also known as the Main Room.
It's meant to be very cozy, a normal room inside a house, it holds infinite possibilities!
A studio, a living room, a storage or that extra room in your house that you're not sure how to use...
It's the first room you're gonna settle in and it's definitely the one we're most attached to.
If you're wondering how it can be decorated. This is a taste of my Studio!
I liked the idea of creating a space where I would work but also relax. Working from my PC while surrounded by some of my favourite plants but with some extra space where I can just sit down and read a book in my peaceful room.
The Balcony
It's the smallest room in the game.
There's nothing better than taking a breath of fresh air out in a lovely balcony.
Stretch your legs and let's be honest, it's the perfect place to enjoy a sunny day or a peaceful night.
I like to fill mine with hybridization vases. They remind me of the large vases my mom had in our terrace, so they feel fitting to place here. I imagine myself sipping a cold drink and watching a colorful summer night go by.
The Greenhouse
Decorated with windows and glasses.
It's quite the big room! It's perfect to fit all kinds of plants, vases and whatnot.
It might seem quite cluttered but if you move some of the tables around you can change quite a lot how it looks like!
For example, I didn't want to have a greenhouse / laboratory but something like a storage room or a general store. I wasn't sure which one to do, so I did both! I moved some cabinets and shelfs, filled with all kinds of decorations and tada! I created a general storage room. I think it turned out quite well.
The Garden
Sometimes closed door can't quite beat open air.
Quite the garden, don't you think? The small waterfall is my favourite thing.
If you were bored of being confined in a house, this might just do the trick for you.
There are a lot of things that you can do here. So, instead of showing you what I have done, why don't we all just imagine together our dream garden? Filled to the brim with plants? Or neatly organized with furnitures and cute decorations? With a sunny sky? Under a starry night? Or during a beatiful sunset?

Growing plants and gardens takes time, devotion, love, water, the right kind of soil, sometimes some fertilisers. No wonder we cant keep our plants alive ourselves, it takes a lot. But not anymore, as Garden In! is coming out in early 2023! In this cute and relaxing sandbox game you grow gardens from your dreams with no stress. Garden In! is made by an Italian studio Dramatic Iceberg. The game is the studios first commercial video game title. The game will be released by Bonus Stage Publishing on PC and Nintendo Switch early 2023. The game was featured in Wholesome Games and Guerrilla Collective in June 2022. The game starts in one room in which you are tasked to decorate to your liking. Your room is basically a perfect little sandbox in which you can move furniture around, paint the environment, and most importantly: grow plants. A lot of plants. At first you have a few seeds available, you can plant them in soil, water, rocks, and you have a few pots to choose from. But as you advance, combine different seeds and try out different growing conditions, your seed library will grow and grow, until you are the most advanced horticulturist in the world. You also unlock new rooms and areas by playing the game further. We started making the game because none of our team was able to keep their plants alive. We then decided we needed to learn some gardening skills, and just like that was the idea for the game born, says Tommaso Verde from Dramatic Iceberg. Garden In! is something we all need in our lives nowadays relaxing and beautiful, with no worries or stress of the outside world. Were extremely happy to work with the publishing of Garden In because in the midst of the busy world we all need some time to relax in our gardens. Also what makes us happy is that thanks to our partner Double Jump Capital were able to maximise the production quality of the game with their investment in the game. Brett M. Brown, Managing Partner of Double Jump Capital said: We are extremely excited to partner with Dramatic Iceberg and Bonus Stage Publishing to bring such a fun game to market. We see enormous potential in supporting such an innovative, entertaining and enjoyable game and look forward to the success of Garden In! Stay tuned for the soon to be announced release date and new content revelations by wishlisting and following the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1953860/Garden_In/.

Hello Friends!
Welcome to our first developer update about Garden In!
The game isn't out yet but we're too excited not to talk about it, so we will be sharing a bit about the development and some cool screenshots made by us, the Icebergs!
I'm sure you have many questions about the game since we have released so little material about it, so let's talk a little bit more about it.
Garden In! is an idle experience about growing your own virtual garden.
You do so by choosing a pot, filling it with soil and plant a seed.
From there you will have to take care of it, watering it, keeping it safe from insects and giving it much love.
Did you know? There are three different generations of plants!
Ground
These are the most classic type of plants, they absorb the nutrients in the ground and extend their roots deep underground. They grow with soil in ground pots and require to bury its seed deep within it.
Water
Quite differently, water seeds require a lot of water to grow. They are totally different from algae and have learned to float on water. In order to grow, they will require a water pot to be filled with a specific type of water.
Air
Avoiding dirt and soil, these plants absorb nutrients through their leaves, not their roots, which instead they use to anchor themselves to rocks or objects. They require its seed to be placed in air pot on top of of a pile of rocks.
The plant business is not over, you can also bring compatible seeds together and obtain new ones!
By putting two seedlings in a bigger and larger hybridization vase and then fully growing them, a new seed will spring forward. But remember, only if they are compatible.
Since the space is so little, the plants growing will be a bit smaller.
Different generation of seeds cannot be combined one with another, this is mostly because they dont share the same environment, no water seed can grow on hard soil.
[spoiler]Yes, we know this isn't how it works but it's a videogame so let's just say it's green magic ;) [/spoiler]
There are still so many things to talk about, palettes, decorations, unlockables and some new mechanics we're testing out.
Next time we could talk a little bit about the different rooms you'll be decorating with your greenery.
Are you excited? I am!
Lastly, we are organising a closed beta for the game... if you're curious and want to know more, you might want to follow us on Twitter and enter our super cool Discord server
That's all! Stay tune and stay green!
