Garden of the Sea (VR) News

Earlier this fall we announced that we were pausing Garden of the Sea development in order to focus on finishing Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency in time for release on December 12th (Which went really well! BC2 is out now and we are all so happy to see people playing it! whew!). While a few of us will continue to work on upcoming patches and updates for BC2, we will snow be shifting our focus as a studio over to Garden of the Sea(!!!!!)



We want to thank you all for your support and patience while we focused on Budget Cuts, but we are sooo excited to be jumping back over to Garden of the Sea and diving into development on the next set of mechanics and content. As always, we love your ideas for how to grow this game during its Early Access phase, so please share with us through our discord channel, or in the steam forum.

As a little treat we made a small winter themed seasonal update that is now live. Have fun in the snow and stay tuned for more updates coming next year!

As some may have noticed, there has been an absence of updates and patches for Garden of the Sea the last two months. We've had to temporarily dedicate all resources to Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency, in order to finish development on time. We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication on this! Development of Garden of the Sea will continue with full force as soon as Budget Cuts 2 is released. We can’t wait to get our garden gloves dirty again! We hope for your understanding and continued support for Garden of the Sea!

Stay tuned and keep gardening!
