(A Late) October Update ~ Rewards, game updates, and more!
Happy late Halloween and Bonfire Night everyone! October was an interesting month for The Garden Path, with a great deal of work going on behind the scenes (some of which is very exciting and youll be finding out about very soon).
Our take on the Autumn Inktober Tradition was a lovely constant throughout October. I had a great time coming up with ideas and illustrations for each new prompt, and it was even better seeing your own designs inspired by the challenge. Ive been so impressed by the creativity and love that people have put into this project - from creating charming original characters to trying out new styles and techniques. While we cant show off every piece that was created as a part of #TGPtober, we did want to highlight a few of our favourites. Thank you again for taking part in this challenge with me, I hope well have the opportunity for similar events in the future.

Dont forget, we have an exclusive Kickstarter category on our official Discord Community server, which you can join here. This is a dedicated space where you can ask us questions about the Kickstarter, chat with fellow backers, and help me in shaping The Garden Path with your feedback and ideas. If you backed The Garden Path and want to gain access to the Kickstarter space, be sure to join our server and make sure youve sent your Discord ID in with your backer survey. Your backer role will be added then! Work on the physical and digital rewards continues to take place behind the scenes, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek of the special reward for The Collectors - the handcrafted ceramic figurines of some of the gardens residents. I think theyre looking rather charming...
In last months update I spoke a little about how The Garden Path team is expanding, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. Im pleased to say that not only did we recently bring on Megan as our new Environment Designer, but also that we recently closed applications for a Contract Developer, who will be coming on board to help develop the local multiplayer systems unlocked in our Kickstarter stretch goals. I feel very fortunate to be in the position to recruit new collaborators to work within bringing The Garden Path to life. I hope this will allow us to create the best version of the game, while making sure that everyone can maintain a good work/life balance.
With all the great feedback from the demos, there's been lots more work than anticipated on my plate to update fundamentals on how the game works, plays and feels. Menus have been simplified and consolidated, and a new contextual control system streamlines how you interact with the Garden, no longer requiring you to equip each tool you wish to use. A new, optional tutorial helps show you the ropes before you start playing so that newer players don't feel overwhelmed. There have also been updates to the physics of how the player moves to hopefully be more brisk and responsive, as well as improvements to the camera. I've also completely rebuilt how the game delivers ambient noises, like wind and birdsong, so it feels as though it's moving around you as you travel the Garden. Night-time audio has received attention too, for those who found the crickets to be irritating at best. The new-game menu has been rewritten too, with some more options, and now more than 20 skin tones to choose from (up from the previous three). I hope it will be worth the extra wait, I'm really happy with the way it's shaping up.
And thats all folks. Stick around for more updates on The Garden Path soon!

Hello gardeners,
Happy late Halloween and Bonfire Night everyone! October was an interesting month for The Garden Path, with a great deal of work going on behind the scenes (some of which is very exciting and youll be finding out about very soon).
#TGPtober was a Cozy Hit
Our take on the Autumn Inktober Tradition was a lovely constant throughout October. I had a great time coming up with ideas and illustrations for each new prompt, and it was even better seeing your own designs inspired by the challenge. Ive been so impressed by the creativity and love that people have put into this project - from creating charming original characters to trying out new styles and techniques.

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.
