Winter Update - New faces: visitors, residents and a Gardener glow up!
Its been a while! Can you believe March is already here? Time sure flies! But it hasnt gone by without tons of tweaks and work for The Garden Path! But before we dive into the game updates
Weve made it! The Garden Path is an indie game made with tons of care. Reaching this milestone means the world to our garden. Thank you all for your patience and support, this garden would not bloom without it!
Since we've arrived in 2024 The Garden Path has seen a number of quality-of-life tweaks and optimizations for the game to run smoother on particularly low-end hardware. But, that isn't to say there aren't a few new arrivals to look forward to.
Aime has heard word that there's new gardeners afoot, and as adjudicator of the Goodly Green Gardens Society, he wants to see if your garden is up-to-snuff. Aime will visit just as your Garden comes into full bloom in the warmer weather
The Designer can now be accessed from the dash, allowing you to make changes to your Garden without needing a contextual item or object to enter the mode.
Also, a new shovel indicator shows the plants that are small enough to unearth and move around the garden. You can also now scratch away the grass to create paths and flowerbeds.
Pinning the map has seen a revamp, allowing you to place as many pins as you'd like, as well as choosing an icon from a new dropdown menu that helps customise the reminder. Map pins will always appear while playing the game to the side of the screen, letting you know you are close.
More residents have arrived in the Garden - say hello to Clair the potato, Theo the lemon, Grant the carrot, and Glenn - a fan favourite!
Fun fact: Grant is the first ever resident designed for The Garden Path back in 2018 - it's great to see them finally in-game. Just like all the other residents, you'll need to make sure the Garden meets certain requirements before they decide to call it their home. You might still catch them wandering around day-to-day.
Those aren't the only new faces now in the Garden, there's new player faces too! A range of different features are now possible on the player model. This will be particularly important for multiplayer to help differentiate one another. When starting a new game, your determined face will be random, but there may be someone in the Garden you can talk to who can help roll that dice again.
And as always, here is your reminder that you can join our official Discord Community server, which you can join here. Here you can chat with the team, meet fellow backers, and help me shape The Garden Path. And of course, we encourage you to share your real-life gardening with your fellow gardening gamers. Thank you all your patience and support, this garden would not bloom with out it!

Game Updates
Since we've arrived in 2024 The Garden Path has seen a number of quality-of-life tweaks and optimizations for the game to run smoother on particularly low-end hardware. But, that isn't to say there aren't a few new arrivals to look forward to.

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.
