Thanks to your feedback, we’ve been able to make numerous tweaks and improvements to BuGarden, including a desktop decoration mode, ‘flower DJ’ mode where flowers dance to the music, optimized display, quality of life improvements, and more. We want our cozy flower garden to be the best it possibly can, and you’ve really helped us achieve that!Rest assured you will find all of these improvements in the final build, plus a few other delights and surprises. The demo is still up & available for anyone who wants to give it a try. Please feel free to send us any more thoughts or suggestions you have. We love to hear it!Lastly, we’d ask if you haven’t already to please add the game to your wishlist, so you’ll be notified on launch day. This will also help us get better placement on Steam, which is extremely important for small teams like ours.Thank you again and happy gardening!

Hello, fellow gardeners!The demo has been available for a little while now, and over the past few weeks we have been fixing and updating the game based on your feedback and suggestions. The current version is now much more stable, so we would like to summarize the recent fixes and adjustments.Features & Improvements1.In response to reports of save data loss caused by abnormal exits, we have optimized and adjusted the save/load system. This includes changes to auto-save timing, additional backup save slots, save data verification, and adjustments to the save data structure. These changes should greatly reduce the risk of save files being completely lost or corrupted.2.Steam Cloud saves have been added. You can now sync your save data across different devices.3.A new option has been added in Settings to show or hide the plant detail panel. When enabled, hovering over a plant in a pot will display information such as the seed name, water consumption rate, current fertilizer effect, and remaining time. For gardeners who wanted to see more growth information, this one is for you!However, since showing detailed growth information too early may reveal plant mutation results, maturity information will only be shown during the stage right before the plant matures.Simple explanations have been added for the game’s systems and panels. You can now click the question mark on the right side of the pot, or the question mark tab in the lower-left corner of each interface, to view instructions for the current page.A “UI Follow Pot” option has been added in Settings. When enabled, function pop-up windows will automatically appear near the pot in a suitable position, so you no longer need to manually drag them around all the time. If you manually move a window again, Follow Window will automatically turn off.A quick “Always on Top” button has been added next to the minimize button.You can now unequip snail skills. Click an equipped skill again to remove it.We adjusted the available pl...

Hi everyone!It has been about a month since our last demo playtest, and during this time, we finally finished developing something we have been really excited about: Decoration Mode!Now, besides planting flowers, harvesting them, and watching your little garden grow on your desktop, you can also decorate your space more freely than ever. We cannot wait for you to try it out!New Decoration ModeThe biggest addition in this update is the brand-new Decoration Mode.In Decoration Mode, you can place desktop decorations anywhere on the screen, including floors, flower stands, and more. You can also take the flowers you worked hard to grow and place them back into pots as decorations, so they can stay with you on your desktop.To give everyone more freedom while keeping things from getting too messy, we added zoom controls for the overall decoration canvas, as well as several size options for individual decorations. Unlike plants in the regular gardening area, flowers in Decoration Mode are not limited by planting grids, so you can arrange them more freely and place them much closer together.In other words: it is time to seriously decorate your garden!Flower DJ ModeSome players told us they wanted to see the flowers dance, so we added a small extra feature for flowers placed in Decoration Mode: DJ Mode!When enabled, your flowers will sway along with the music playing on your system. They can keep you company while you work, study, or just listen to music. Of course, you can turn this feature on or off at any time with one click.From now on, your desktop garden can groove a little too.Storage ImprovementsWe also made a few improvements to flower storage.Harvested flowers can now be marked as favorites, and we added a one-click sell-all option to make it easier to keep the flowers you like and quickly sell the extras.We will continue to evaluate player feedback and decide whether more detailed options, such as choosing specific quantities, should be added in future updates.New...
