[h3]Gardener: Master of Trees and Flowers is Available Now![/h3]



I've created Gardener: Master of Trees and Flowers out of passion for in-depth simulations, software that redefines what is possible in 60FPS, and how to implement the impossible without completely melting your GPUs. I've put thousands of days and all my sanity in the last few years to make sure this is the most unique botanical simulator on the market, and that it pushes the technical boundaries of indie games. For folks who want to experiment, create, learn - or who just really like to play with plants, without waiting months for effects. And if You do - I sincerely hope You'll enjoy Gardener, in all of its early access, alpha glory.

Now you can get the game with 10% discount:

Cheers, and enjoy!

[h3]Gardener: Master of Trees and Flowers is coming out in Early Access TOMORROW, March 7th[/h3]



Hello folks! I've been working hard recently to cram all reported fixes and suggested features into recent updates, and... basically forgot to announce the release. So here it is - years of passionate clicking, countless hours of debugging, and an overwhelming urge to make something different from all other simulator games on Steam, poured into this unique project. And it's just about to be released in early access, as hopefully the game is now fun enough, even if it's not feature complete yet.

I'm still not exactly sure what has grown out of it, but I think there hasn't been so far other games like it. Judge for yourself, and Watch the release trailer to know more:

Gardener: Master of Trees and Flowers is coming out in Early Access, with hopefully many improvements, updates and features suggested by our small community. If in doubt - ask me anything on our official Discord, or on the Steam forums.

If you still haven't put the game on your Steam Wishlist, now is the best time to do it
