Hello gardeners,

I hope youre all well and have been enjoying the glimpse of sunshine that emerged recently, at least here in the UK. Theres something lovely about these brief moments of summer, and its nice to see the changes of the seasons outside of The Garden Path and in the real world. Lets take a peek at whats happening this month and how development has gone over the last

Journey to Kingdom Ka

This month weve decided to do a special stream where well be taking a look back at my earlier work: Kingdom Ka. This art game is a retelling of the world's oldest stories - enter an abstract world built from pattern and collage, filled with wonderful characters all looking to share their tales. My co-streamer in crime, the lovely Fern, is going to be playing the game live on our Twitch Channel on Wednesday April 13th from 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST / 3pm CEST. Im excited to sit down over the game and talk about the ways in which my style and process has come since this project, as well as spotting the similarities and differences between it and The Garden Path. You can follow us on Twitch so that you dont miss out on this one: https://www.twitch.tv/fromcarrotcake

Game Updates

Look at the sky! There'll soon be an array of constellations available to unlock to further customise your Garden. From The Noble Protector, the bear constellation, which will hardy up your plants, or The Early Riser, the lark constellation, that extends daylight hours.
You'll soon be able to turn in your charged dustfly jars and receive a voucher from one of the many travellers that visits your Garden. With the voucher, you'll be able to claim any one item, or stack of items, from their stock. This way, you can collect vouchers and redeem them at a later date should you want to, so you aren't bound to the stock that character carries that day.
Song fish will soon boast a much more varied set of icons to help better differentiate themselves. Fish are now categorised by type of song they produce - some help the garden to grow, while others shift the flow of time, and this is now reflected in their artwork.
Fashion in the Garden path gets another step up with a range of new trousers, boots and garbs making their way into the game to don. With Caoimhe now a mainstay of the travelling team, they're a one-stop-shop for changing up your stats and appearance. The Garden is beginning to see treasures and secrets unfold, and Thom will be your guide. There's a mysterious blue seedling growing in the Garden. What could it be?
