July Round-Up ☀️

[h3]Greetings Keepers![/h3][p] [/p][p]How’s everyone doing? Are your plants prospering in the summer heat, or have you decided to escape to the freezing Glacialis instead? The Keepers were also away for a short while to visit Japan, and they can’t wait to share this news with you in our July round-up![/p][p][/p][h2]Return to BitSummit![/h2][p][/p][p]Horticular was back at BitSummit, the largest indie game festival in Japan! With the event highlighting Yokais/folklore creatures, our Keepers were pumped to be back in Kyoto to meet some fellow magical beings and gamers intrigued by their mysterious presence. Of course, seeing so many players enjoying Horticular certainly put the Keepers and our critters in an excellent mood. A big shoutout to our helpers and BitSummit’s organiser for making this amazing event happen![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]New Patches![/h2][p][/p][p]A couple new patches just hit Horticular in July with QoL improvements, fixes and even a new plant variant! The game might have seemed a bit quiet for a while, but keep your eyes peeled – more news coming soon![/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][h2]Community Gardens[/h2][p]It’s been some time since our last community garden showcase, and we’ve gotten quite a few submissions over the past couple months. So let’s see what our community has conjured with their wildest imagination![/p][p][/p][p]Let’s start with this submission from Zarah. A peaceful atmosphere in the story campaign. A few of our birds are roaming in the scene. Can you spot them?[/p][p][/p][p]From freezing glaciers to scorching lava, SapphireDragon made full use of Anubscorpiak’s Tiny Magic mod. The variety of thematic biomes and items is absolutely incredible in this community creation, and really goes to show the boundless creativity of both our modders and players![/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Next Up, we have Arugiro’s impressive winter garden from the Frozen Frontier DLC with a few close-ups: An open-air space (with nice lighting too) for the Keepers; cabins hidden deep in the forest; a garden blurred by snowfall. This sprawling landscape really captures the various vibes of Frozen Frontier, don’t you think?[/p][p][/p][p]That’s all we have for July – the Keepers are back from Japan and are busy unpacking their bags in their tiny cottages.  As mentioned earlier, there will be more news coming to Horticular in the future, so stay tuned and follow us on our socials![/p][p][/p][p]Discord X/Twitter YouTube TikTok [/p]
