Wee bug fix
This patch is to fix a bug that's only really coming up on mobile versions right now. The fix changed some underlying code in a way that is better optimized, but that probably won't be noticeable either. Happy spring 🐌🌱

Apple Silicon Fix
Fixed an issue with the Steam integration that was causing immediate crashes on Apple Silicon devices (I think). Also fixed some minor UI issues that occurred at extreme aspect ratios, and found and fixed a bug where window size changes made in the nursery were reset when returni

Post-Gyroscope Fixes
Just some quick fixes in response to early feedback from the Crystal Gyroscope Update. Viridi will now launch in windowed mode by default. The ESC menu has a button to toggle between windowed and fullscreen modes. Viridi will attempt to remember your selected mode and resolution
Just some quick fixes in response to early feedback from the Crystal Gyroscope Update.
Viridi will now launch in windowed mode by default.
The ESC menu has a button to toggle between windowed and fullscreen modes.
Viridi will attempt to remember your selected mode and resolution and will re-launch in that mode.
The bottom/main menu, spritz, and hoist buttons will now shift around as you resize the window, to keep a functional, good-looking layout. The minimum width of this menu area has been expanded to support even longer plant names.
The ESC menu will now unhide UI when it opens. (There is a semi-secret function of the Z key hiding/unhiding the UI. ESC will force unhide, which I think will be easier for people when they accidentally hide the UI without knowing what's up.)
The rename UI will now properly close when you click away from a plant without finishing rename.
Thanks for your feedback and your patience! Let me know if anything else is busted.

The Crystal Gyroscope Update
Our first Viridi update since 2018 😅. Hello from the future! We've updated the engine and done some selective optimizations, so the game should run a little smoother. We finally have a 64-bit OSX build! There are two new pots, "The Dansk of a Lifetime," and "Bronzino." If you do
Our first Viridi update since 2018 😅. Hello from the future!
We've updated the engine and done some selective optimizations, so the game should run a little smoother. We finally have a 64-bit OSX build!
There are two new pots, "The Dansk of a Lifetime," and "Bronzino." If you don't know, you can change your current pot while keeping all the plants by using the 'Repot ___' option in the Nursery.
We've added a new environment, the Elven Throne. This environment will be unlocked for free for anyone with the achievement 'The Elven Artefacts' from Tenderfoot Tactics. It's a tough one, you basically have to beat the game, heheh. You can also buy the Crystal Gyroscope in the Nursery to gain access to the Elven Throne.
Other changes:
The ESC key, when pressed in the pot scene, will now bring up an [Exit Viridi] button, so you no longer have to just alt-F4 out of the game.
The bat 🦇 now only has a chance to come out on Halloween (it was bothering some people).
Snow has been tweaked to look a little nicer imho. ❄
There is now a toggle button to disable/enable weather events (looks like a 🌧) in the primary menu, next to the music toggle.
It's easier to select the snail now. You used to only be able to click the soil near them, but now you can click them direct, even if they're on the back side of your pot. 🐌
Tweaked the plant name UI to better support longer names.
Added credits in the Nursery.
Thanks so much for all your support over the years! 🐌💕

Tenderfoot Tactics - World Teaser
I haven't been very loud about Tenderfoot until now because I've been waiting to get this teaser together to show off the open world, which is part of what makes it stand out among TRPGs. (I mean, also the combat is super deep and interesting and fun.) Anyway I'm really excited a

Tiny Patch
Happy January everyone! We heard that the quickly flashing day-night cycle that played at startup if you'd been gone a very long time was physically uncomfortable (or even a seizure risk) for some people, so we made a minor graphical adjustment. Now, if it's been any more than 4
