Steam Next Fest, October Art Challenge and more!
The months and seasons are turning, and big updates for The Garden Path are on the horizon. September has been a busy month for myself and the team (which Ill touch on in a moment), and October isnt showing any signs of slowing down. There's a lot in store and I'm eager to hear what you think, so let's jump right in.
Inktober is an Autumn tradition that I've been fond of since first tackling it in 2018. Last year, I took a turn from the traditional prompts and illustrated a new vegetable headed resident every day throughout the month. Ever since The Garden Path community began to form, I've noted just how many creatives we have with us - from artists, to writers, figurine creators to book makers. So this year, I thought a fun way to build off last year's Inktober is to share a 'The Garden Path'-themed list of prompts for anyone to join in. #TGPtober is therefore designed to encompass any type of creative form, whether you want to paint, draw, photograph, write, sculpt or anything else that comes to mind. After all, this challenge is all about how you interpret these prompts. The prompts are bi-weekly as opposed to daily, a decision which will hopefully give you more time to join in and create alongside the prompts that suit you. If you want to get involved, make sure to share your work with the hashtag #TGPtober. Alternatively, if youre not comfortable posting your pieces on Twitter or Instagram then consider joining our Discord community and sharing your process there. Wherever you share your work, it might even end up in a #TGPtober gallery! Ill be getting involved myself and I cannot wait to get started and to see what you come up with!
Seven days, hundreds of new demos, oodles of livestreams. Steam Next Fest is a multi-day celebration of upcoming games taking place from the 1st to the 7th of October, and I am thrilled to announce that The Garden Path is going to be taking part. Youll be able to get your hands on our demo, fresh with some new updates to make your gameplay experience as smooth and soothing as possible. If you've enjoyed the demo before you'll be glad to know lots of hard-work on the full game is finding its way onto the next demo for testing. Perhaps the biggest addition will be auto-saving! While I've been hard at work eliminating crashes, hiccups happen to the best of us, but now you can help test jumping right back in where you left off. Just note that the demo is the first day of the garden, and will reset when a new day dawns. I will also be taking part in a couple of special livestreams alongside The Garden Paths community manager, Alex. Well be showcasing the demo and answering any questions you may have about the game. So, be sure to come and say hi ~ youll be able to join us on:
You may have seen that I've recently been recruiting some help - and that is all possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters and community. Ive been able to start recruiting help from collaborators so that we can reach the full vision I have for The Garden Path, all while hopefully ensuring some good work/life balance for all. As of writing this, the applications for Environment Designer have now closed, but do keep an eye open, as Im sure well be announcing a new position very soon. This isnt the only position joining me on The Garden Path, but for now mums the word. As for game development, in addition to the autosave function Ive been working on, the garden itself has seen some polish and landscaping ~ with updated water, cliffs, and even more variety of plants to discover. Mouse controls are now fleshed out and ready to play with, making the game more accessible and comfortable for those who prefer to play with mouse and keyboard. Not to mention many more small fixes, polishes and tweaks all thanks for the invaluable feedback the community has provided.
And thats all folks. Stick around for more updates on The Garden Path soon!

Far from your old life, you find yourself a new wilderness - a life once lived in these dense woods, waiting to be rediscovered.
The Garden Path explores the quiet moments of a life well lived, where your garden will grow to reflect both the passing of time and your own design. Time here runs in concert with the real world, and the passing of seasons heralds new encounters and a new story to weave.
Above all, The Garden Path is a life sim that celebrates the tranquil and the pensive, a tucked-away place to shape and grow as you like.

Designed to be played as and when you wish, The Garden Path features a wealth of stories, activities and distractions to be experienced at your own pace. Don’t have time to watch your flowers grow? Come back tomorrow: time in the garden passes alongside the real world, and you’ll find plants you nurtured one day may bloom the next.

You won’t be alone in your new home. Charming inhabitants will come and go, from Bunk, the tea-brewing macaque to Larto, a Greenlandic Musk Ox with a penchant for song-fish. You may even find some visitors willing to make their home alongside your own!

The garden is calm and still. A tender world of familiar sights and sounds, melody, and friendly faces. A space to call your own, to curate, and to reflect.

With a unique hand-drawn aesthetic, The Garden Path’s stunning visual design embraces you from the start, inviting you in and welcoming you to stay. Combined with unique soundtracks for both day and night, it won't be long before you're lost in the flow.
