Hello gardeners,
It’s still Winter, still cold. But work on The Garden Path hasn’t been hampered by the chill here in the UK. On the contrary, work has been in full force and I am pleased with the place it’s in right now.
Let’s head into the update to see what’s new.
Featured features
With new content being implemented behind the scenes, The Garden Path has a whole host of new features to mention
Furnishings for the garden can now be layered, allowing you to hang smaller items on trees or place them on tables or cabinets.
Many new plants and flora have also been added to the game, including marigolds, pansies, daffodils, chrysanths - but you’ll need to find the seeds to plant them!
The movement system has seen some updates, including the base speed for the character increasing, increased base stamina, and faster sprint speeds, which should help you get to where you want to go in good time. A new sprint animation has also been added, so you can really feel the wind in your hair.
The new pathfinding system has been introduced to the game, which will eventually allow characters to traverse more intelligently across the map, but for now should provide shorter loading times ~ something we’re working on whittling down further.
The game has been moved over to GLES3, which should provide better performance on newer systems, especially in areas with many lights.
Tents have made a triumphant return. They’re now easier to place, and no longer require a loading screen to enter or exit, simply walk up to the tent, unzip the door and you’re in. A great way to start your corner of the Garden.
A Little Bit of Fun
Something our Community Manager, Alex, has been working on lately was a little personality quiz based on some of the animal travellers you might find in The Garden Path, and now you can give it a go.
It’s short and sweet but great fun. I spent too much time answering the questions myself!
Find out which character you are here, and be sure to share your results in our Discord server or in the comments.
Until next time…
Louis, carrotcake
