July is already done (whaaaa?), which means it’s time for a
Garden Story update! A lot of time is being spent on larger systems, like how you’ll be working with other members of the Grove, as well as different objects and tasks for helping make your world a better place.
We’ll share more details when we are able, but until then, here are some additional smaller updates that will hopefully whet your appetite!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[h2]Glomp glomp![/h2]
What’s this? A new, dangerous rot has been spotted! Bigger than the average Rot, these Glomps are known to come out at night, and get a bit agitated if you get close, so be careful!
[h2]Stay Hydrated[/h2]
While the original jar was a grape idea (huhuu~), this new health bar will hopefully add more clarity to how much health Concord has while exploring, and when it’s time for a pit stop for more dew!
[h2]Splashy Rot[/h2]
This Acorn Rot was getting a bit too rambunctious, so we had to tone its rot splashes down a bit ~ here’s how it looks now! Be sure to use that dodge roll to provide some quick distance between Concord and their clouds. Pico’s also exploring damage counters for when you’re wacking things with your pick.
[h2]Take Off your Shoes, and Enjoy![/h2]
Ever just want to walk through some soft grass? The lushness of The Grove has been intensified with the addition of more squishy foliage to walk through ~ ahhh, so refreshing!
[h2]Summer of Games? Summer of GRAPES![/h2]
Concord was invited to hang with a bunch of other wonderful indies during the Twitch Indie Discovery Show last week! Jenny (Communications Manager) got to share with the Twitch community the joys of fruit puns, as well as provide a reminder that the
Garden Story demo IS available here on Steam if you’d like to try it out (or share with friends!)
Watch the VOD at this link (Garden Story is around the 2 hour 35 min mark):

[h2]Inviting you to our Indie Arena Booth![/h2]
In just a few short weeks, the Indie Arena Booth will be open! This’ll be your chance to see more indie games,
Garden Story included. We’ll be running a few live events for you all to participate in, and will be posting more about that in the coming weeks! For now? The best place you’ll be able to get the insider scoop for what’s going to happen is in our
