Hello gamers,

We have just announced a new game Aquatic Supermarket Simulator, a relaxing casual simulation game launching on Steam later this year.

Hello gamers

10 games from FreeMind, developed or published are now on sale during the Steam Summer Sale - House Builder, Farmer's Life, Aquarist, and more!

Starting now, it will last until 11th of July.

As we approach the release of Gardener, it's time to unveil the two main characters behind our story and its purpose. Without further ado...
Meet Kodama and Yamabiko - your gardening guides on an adventure around the world to find elusive plants descended from The Great Tree, in a quest to revive the long-forgotten species. Using power of the Master Gardener to recreate genetic traits from any encountered plant, with the help of the joyful Kodama, wise Yamabiko, agroecology techniques, and modern gardening tools, you will restore balance to abandoned orchards, famous parks, and secret gardens. Your efforts will sustain environments where the rarest native plants can grow, allowing you to collect the genes inherited from their once-great ancestor and recreate the lost Great Tree, part by part, one reclaimed gene at a time. The gardening adventure will soon begin. Will you be The Master Gardener that Kodama and Yamabiko are searching for? Until then, enjoy our little Kodama and Yamabiko themed wallpapers, and see you soon in update 0.2!

Welcome everyone to the first-ever FreeMind Games Publisher Sale!

You can get now Titles on sale for up to 90% off

Purrrifiers - Insane Multi Co-op Game, where nothing is normal, boring and dull.

Watch crazy announcement teaser to know what we mean

- Implemented extended color palette in Plant Creator - Plant Creator cuttings can be now trimmed - Increased orbital camera range in vertical axis - Plant Creator daily rewards now accumulate since last login - Plant Creator gene gem ticket reward gets rerolled once if its empty - Fixed trimmed branches not retaining original branch maturity shade - Fixed Plant Creator gene gems from fruits not colliding with cuttings - Fixed gene gem roll tickets resetting on load - Fixed Plant Creator achievement triggers - Fixed Plant Creator animal collisions - Refactored plant color calculations

With the first realistic trees comes the first struggle with performance. As the first optimisations are made to the Gardener engine, an innovative solution to player-plant interaction is implemented: Shader-Scan, a shader-based collision engine that avoids using CPU-intensive physics simulation for each of the thousands of plant nodes. Watch episode 3 of the Gardener devlog to experience the first modern orchard engine fruit picking. Or just enjoy it yourself in the Gardener Plant Creator!

The seeds are planted. You have watered the plant, given it enough access to sun, made sure the soil is aerated enough for roots to healthily develop, kept the pH perfect throughout the whole growth, and carefully managed the perfect amount of N/P/K/Ca/Fe/Mg. You have kept the nibbling critters away, made sure no pests have made a feast of its leaves, and grown it fungi and disease free. It's time for harvest! ...And it is a really disappointing harvest.

But What Went Wrong?

I Missed The Training Window, Now What?

- Implemented Steam Workshop support - Plant nodes can be now cut in Plant Creator - Plant templates can be now imported from .jpg and .gif files - Plants now drop grown fruits when time-lapsing in Plant Creator - Plant Creator templates can be now uploaded to Steam Workshop - Capturing a screenshot grants now one random gene gem every day - Plant Creator parts and gene variations are now highlighted after unlocking - Plant Creator active genome is now included in .jpg screenshots and .gif animations - Dropped fruits in Plant Creator can be now squashed for random chance of gene gem - Uploading plant template to Steam Workshop grants one random gene gem every day - Fixed plants position centering on screenshots Hotfix 0.1.4a: - Implemented player data backups and file integrity verification system - Fixed crash when moving cursor over [X] button in Plant Creator fruit part selector - Fixed crash when opening gene gems menu while active gene gem is disappearing - Fixed crash when quickly opening and closing gene gems menu - Fixed music mode not changing on entering Plant Creator - Fixed gene gems drop rate for dropped fruits - Fixed crash when generating screenshots - Fixed plants rendering on certain GPUs

Item handling! Physics! New growth model! Pruning! In the third part of the Gardener devlog, we can see the first cuttings being cut and handled in the early in-dev version of Gardener - a feature that you will all be able to play with in the upcoming Gardener Plant Creator 0.1.4 update. See how the first iterations of the perennial growth model based on the Fibonacci sequence have been implemented and how the orchard engine has started to grow real roots. Watch episode 2 of the Gardener devlog as we get closer to the latest updates and releases, and see for yourself how development of the free Plant Creator has progressed over the past year!

Hello Gardeners, Our introduction to the Gardener game is available now.

Play Gardener Plant Creator for free now:

If you like it, you will love the Gardener game. Wishlist it now to get notified about the release:

In this archived Gardener devlog entry, our plants have just started to grow! While the technology that now powers the recently released Gardener Plant Creator was still being shaped, it was already generating plants that grew over time and could be shaped by cutting them at any possible node - a feature essential for mechanisms like plant training or simply harvesting fruit. Check out episode 1 of the Gardener devlog - and compare the early plant growth model with the current growth simulation in Plant Creator's time-lapse mode!

Hello folks! Over the next few weeks I'll be posting some archived Gardener devlogs that I've been recording since 2022, to show you the gamedev journey I've been on over the last 2 years, and to give you a better idea of where we're going with the game, what's possible in it, and how its direction has changed over time. Today we start at entry 0 - the point at which Gardener was still shedding Creatura legacy. [previewyoutube=QIHosH7T6Pg;full][/previewyoutube] Ps.
