Merchant Patch Coming Soon!
Hello fellow gardeners!
We come to you with a much awaited post to bring you up to date on the upcoming Merchant Patch along with some other goodies we’ve thrown into the bag.
[h3]The Merchant is almost here![/h3]
The Merchant update is coming soon (so so soon!)!! We are just wrapping up a few remaining bugs and loose ends before we release him and all his goodies onto the experimental branch through steam, which you can opt in to and playtest early.
The Merchant has lots of new items for you to collect, from posters and cushions to shelves and alarm clocks. He also sells pattern rolls, which can be applied (crafted) onto the curtains and pillows for even more creative options to make your home as cozy as possible. The Merchant will accept berries, veggies, and flowers as trade goods for his items, and don’t even think about haggling the price down (trust us we’ve tried)! He runs a tight ship.
He’s got beds, books, posters, plushies, pillows, rugs, pattern rolls, cookware, chairs, tables, you name it! The Merchant will restock his shelves every day, so if you see something you want, make sure to buy it today (local time on your computer) because it might be awhile before you see it again.
[h3]In-game camera added![/h3]
On Top of the shop we’ve also added an in-game camera so you can also take little polaroid photos of your beautiful garden and all your island buddies. You can then access the photos you’ve taken through the Garden of the Sea save folder on your computer (‘...\\Garden of the Sea\\Saves\\0\\Data’) in case you want to share them outside of the game.
[h3]More ways to move around[/h3]
We’ve heard you loud and clear - Some of you really want movement options! So we added Smooth Locomotion. It can be found in the Menu under Settings. Keep bringing us feedback on what you want to see and experience in Garden of the Sea and we will make sure it ends up on our list of things to-do! (Though that list is now getting…. Very long.)
[h3]Plant system improvements[/h3]
Our clever gardening magician Oliver has also updated the plant system which will result in better performance along with opening up new doors for us to implement new features such as wind, smoother growth and other potential interactions! (We’ll dive deeper into this in a later post, so stay tuned!)
[h3]House upgrades coming to an island near you![/h3]
We’ve also added a lil quest-line for upgrading your house from a humble tent into a cozy cabin which has more room and wall-space for storage and decorating! In the largest home you can also customize the colors of the walls, floors and roof using the Jellyfish painting blobs, so go wild!
We've also added a compost bin, so you can turn any green leafy plant parts into handy fertilizer!

That’s all we’ll share for now! And as always we love all the ideas and feedback we are getting on the game from all the folks over on our Discord Server, and encourage everyone to join the discussion!
