LudoNarraCon Begins đ
[h2]LudoNarraCon is here! [/h2]
Weâve been recording, prepping, coding, testing, and gathering lots of behind-the-scenes and special content to stream all weekend for the second year of LudoNarraCon, a digital event hosted by the awesome folks of Fellow Traveler.
If you havenât gotten to participate in LudoNarraCon before, youâre in for a treat. All weekend, there will be panels, streams, and demos to check out, all united by the fact that they celebrate games with a focus on narrative. Weâre so happy that Garden Story gets to be a part of the festivities, and wanted to let you know what you can expect throughout the weekend!

Starting Friday at 10 AM PST, weâll also be showcasing a wide variety of content on our main Steam page! Our broadcast will loop throughout the entire weekend (the event ends on Monday, April 27th at 11:50 PM PST), so please feel free to visit our page for:
[h2]The Autumn Town Demo Returns (Permanently!) [/h2]
Weâve fixed the lift up to Autumn Town again...and this time, itâs indefinite! What was previously a limited-time demo will now be available to play even after LudoNarraCon has finished.
Folks who have tried the demo previously offered up lots of great feedback, and weâre happy to share an updated build with lots of tweaks and fixes. This means that while itâs still a standalone experience, it will more closely resemble what you can expect in the final version of the game. Some of these updates include:

If youâre as excited about Garden Story as we are, please join in the fun in our Discord or follow us on Twitter. Weâd love to say hi, hear what you think of the game, and able to share some exciting news with you in the future. :)
Cheers, and we hope you enjoy LudoNarraCon and the Garden Story demo!

This means that while itâs still a standalone experience, it will more closely resemble what you can expect in the final version of the game. Some of these updates include:
- Making sure everythingâs pixel-perfect by cleaning up animation frames, extra text in places it shouldnât be, and setting fences in exactly the right spot!
- Created a toggle-able âNon-perish modeâ so you can live life as a grape on the edge ~ or keep it cozy and not have to worry.
- Looking fancy and fresh: weâve updated map and menu UI so you can better track your progress
- Stay organized: you can now drop items you donât need and collected items wonât disappear if your inventory is already full!
- Touched up and clarified the main mission and requests
- Finessed button remapping
- Oh, and...the stump enemy has a surprise in store for you. đ
