Happy Wednesday Tiny Gardeners! It's officially been 24 hours since we've launched and we're so excited by all the wonderful feedback and love that our community has given back to us

Launch Hotfix

We plan to release a quick hotfix today addressing some easy to fix issues within Tiny Garden. These include things like the achievement bug and a cursor bug. Also some minor visual improvements and more.

Crash Bug

An issue that some players have come across a bug that crashes the game when it's first opened. We, unfortunately, were not able to find this bug while testing the game. After investigating, it seems like it is an issue with the engine and will take a little longer to fix it. In the mean time, here are some fixes that we believe might help:

• Double check your system meets the minimum specs on the Steam store page.
• Verify your game files. Right click the game in Steam library -> Select Properties -> Select Installed Files tab -> Select [Verify Integrity of game files]
• Uninstall the game and redownload it.
• For some people, it might be a case of making sure they meet the minimum specs on the systems they're playing on as some of the logs indicate they are under spec.
• For anyone playing on laptops with dual graphics cards, try switching from the integrated graphics card (if it defaults to that) to the dedicated graphics card. Note: The laptop power mode may impact this, so check this setting to prioritise performance

If none of these working, then you will have to wait until we sort out the fix. We're so sorry that this has come up. It is our top priority to fix it.

Exciting Discord Extras

To celebrate passing 600 discord members, we've decided to start holding discord community polls to help us add more and more cool content to Tiny Garden over time. Be sure to join our discord to vote in these, get the latest updates on patches and report bugs directly to us. Join our discord here: https://discord.gg/QyAn3E7WcR

Something super exciting to look forward too in the future is the Summer Breeze content update! With new seeds and gameplay options coming. As the weather gets warmer, there's even more to discover! Thank you for all of your support during this launch period! - Ao Norte & Super Rare Originals

Hello Tiny Gardeners!

We have some very exciting news, we're holding a Gnome Design Competition in our discord server!

Here are the rules

• All entries must be submitted via the discord by posting them in the #fan-art channel!
• Entries must be submitted before Tuesday the 25th of February at 11:59 pm GMT. We will contact the winners the following day and then announce them on Thursday the 27th of February.
• The theme is "Design your own Gnome". Which means we'd like you to create your interpretation of a Garden gnome. We ask that you don't draw any characters from other media as we want to add your art to the game and we won't be able to if the character belongs to another studio or group!
• Entries must be completely your own, which means the use of AI is strictly forbidden.
• You can submit art that youve already created.
• You can enter multiple times but there are two weeks of prep for a reason so please don't spam ideas!
• Winners will be contacted via Discord DMs before being announced publicly, so make sure your DMs are open on the 25th and 26th of Feb!
• One overall winner will receive a Tiny Garden Care Package with tons of physical goodies and get their gnome added to the game as a sticker.
• Four more winners will be chosen and have their gnomes added to the game. These additions will likely be in a post-launch patch.

Hey there gardeners! We have been resting for a while, but we're back with some exciting news! Tiny Garden is fully funded on Kickstarter, which means that we now will have to make the full game. That's awesome and we're so so so excited to work on this game full-time finally.
Thanks to our Kickstarter backers, we will add new vegetables to the game, as well as new visuals for these vegetables. We'll also add new backgrounds for the game and skins for the pieces of furniture, so your customization options will be even greater. Finally, we will include a new mechanic that you might know from other games - shiny vegetables that you will have to "hunt" and will appear randomly.


So, all of these will be added in the final version of the game, are you excited to try it out?! As a final note, we created Late Pledges in our Kickstarter campaign. You can still get the game with your name on the credit plus exclusive wallpapers. This will be a wonderful way to keep supporting us since making games is always hard and there could be some unforeseen expenses along the way. See you in the tiny garden!

Hey there gardeners! We have exciting news! We have already surpassed 1500 backers in our Kickstarter campaign. We can thank all of the backers for their support, we couldn't make it without them! We want to give you all something special in return, so today were releasing the Tiny Garden Demo you might have seen some content creators playing. This is a very tiny demo, it will take you just 20 minutes of playing at max, but we believe it showcases well the possibilities behind Tiny Gardens ideas. The demo will be only available during the Kickstarter campaign, until August 2nd. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2812450/Tiny_Garden/ In this demo, you will discover different vegetables and plants that will change the terrain. Also a fountain and five pieces of furniture to decorate the top part of the toy. Bear in mind that this is just a prototype focused on the core mechanics, meaning that many visual and design elements, as well as accessibility and control options, are not finished. That means, for example, that the furniture doesnt have any mechanics apart from customizing the house space in a very simple fashion. The final version of Tiny Garden will have many more customization and personal expression options.
As I said, this is just a tiny proof-of-concept for the game, but Im sure youll love it! Please, share with us any feedback you might have or just the joy of playing our demo. You can share whatever you want from the demo on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or any socials, that would help us a lot! See you in the tiny garden!

Hey there gardeners! You might already know that we're doing a Kickstarter campaign, which is very stressful! But we're actually enjoying it and it's going pretty pretty pretty well! Thank you very much to all our backers for keep supporting the campaign!!! We want to show you a peek behind the curtain. We started with Tiny Garden in September 2023 and, barely three months after, we already had a prototype for the game. Bear in mind that we had other jobs, so we did all that (and keep doing It) during our spare time. At first, the game looked like this:
But the ideas were already there! You could take a pepper, put it on the ground, turn an invisible crank and the pepper will pop out of the soil. That's the core of the game! Even our very early sketches and rough visual ideas didn't look like the final toy:
But, at least, our vegetables, plants, fountain, and even the types of soil did look like the ones we have now in the game (you can also see the cursor as hand):
To be honest, before all of that, we had a first iteration with a very schematic representation to visualize how this game would end up looking. We showed the following images to different friends and they loved the initial idea so that pushed us into making the prototype!

As you can see, the toy would be much simpler, more like a rectangle, with fewer squares on the grid and spots to place your pieces of furniture. So What do you think about these images of the process behind Tiny Garden? It's been a long journey, but we believe it's paying off. We can't wait to show you more about our game!
See you in the Tiny Garden!

Hey there tiny gardeners! We're glad to share with you that our Kickstarter page is already live! Well, actually... We released it yesterday and already got to the campaign goal. Tiny Garden was fully funded in just 1 hour!!! But we still need your support to get to all the stretch goals.
Talking about that... we even got to the first stretch goal - now the base game will have shiny vegetables. Each time you plant one carrot, one turnip, whatever, you get the chance to collect a special carrot or turnip. It's all about luck! Take a look at our Kickstarter trailer here! [previewyoutube=39SFfO9aEqE;full][/previewyoutube] Hope you can support us and share our project everywhere, we need all the help we can find! See you in the tiny garden!
