Welcome back to the Steam community!
Strange to think it’s been over a month since the official announcement of The Garden Path--it’s been a whirlwind and your support so far has been an invaluable encouragement. But, now, there's even more to come just around the corner: The Garden Path is coming to Kickstarter!
This is something that’s been in the works, behind the scenes, for a little while now, and I’m thrilled to finally reveal this next step for the game. The Garden Path has grown so much over the years and, after some deliberation, I really believe crowdfunding will give the game a better shot at being accessible to many more people who would want to play.
For now you'll have to wait until the page goes live to hear more about the project’s story and goals, but all support will be going towards getting additional help in polishing the game, so it’s as good as it can be when you get your hands on it and that as many peoplecan get their hands on it...
Head to the pre-launch page and you can give it a follow to be one of the first to know when the campaign goes live (there's even some neat, limited rewards that that will be on offer).
Before I wrap up, I wanted to share with you the new notification system I was recently working on for the game, in case you missed it elsewhere. It consolidates a number of information points that arise throughout the game, so it’s easy to see everything important.
It's navigable anytime using the D-Pad or Arrows Keys so long as you aren't using other UI elements and, since the visuals go through varying stages of presence depending on use, the game-view remains uncluttered. I think it's quite intuitive.
It's since become an integral part of the game, a place for advice, learning more, and building a greater sense of what's happening in the garden around you.
I’m pleased with how silky smooth it turned out!
