Your Home #2
Hello hello,
Welcome to the second Garden In! devlog.
Last time we took a look at some of our plants and the different types you'll find in the game.
Now we're going to talk a little bit about the rooms, the environments you'll decorate with the lovely greenery you'll be growing.
There are 4 rooms inside the game.
Each with it's own intended purpose, but of course you can change, decorate and move enough things to shape it to your own liking. Let's start, shall we?
The Studio Also known as the Main Room.
It's meant to be very cozy, a normal room inside a house, it holds infinite possibilities! A studio, a living room, a storage or that extra room in your house that you're not sure how to use... It's the first room you're gonna settle in and it's definitely the one we're most attached to.
If you're wondering how it can be decorated. This is a taste of my Studio! I liked the idea of creating a space where I would work but also relax. Working from my PC while surrounded by some of my favourite plants but with some extra space where I can just sit down and read a book in my peaceful room.
The Balcony It's the smallest room in the game.
There's nothing better than taking a breath of fresh air out in a lovely balcony. Stretch your legs and let's be honest, it's the perfect place to enjoy a sunny day or a peaceful night.
I like to fill mine with hybridization vases. They remind me of the large vases my mom had in our terrace, so they feel fitting to place here. I imagine myself sipping a cold drink and watching a colorful summer night go by.
The Greenhouse Decorated with windows and glasses.
It's quite the big room! It's perfect to fit all kinds of plants, vases and whatnot. It might seem quite cluttered but if you move some of the tables around you can change quite a lot how it looks like!
For example, I didn't want to have a greenhouse / laboratory but something like a storage room or a general store. I wasn't sure which one to do, so I did both! I moved some cabinets and shelfs, filled with all kinds of decorations and tada! I created a general storage room. I think it turned out quite well.
The Garden Sometimes closed door can't quite beat open air.
Quite the garden, don't you think? The small waterfall is my favourite thing. If you were bored of being confined in a house, this might just do the trick for you.
There are a lot of things that you can do here. So, instead of showing you what I have done, why don't we all just imagine together our dream garden? Filled to the brim with plants? Or neatly organized with furnitures and cute decorations? With a sunny sky? Under a starry night? Or during a beatiful sunset?
When you're done imagining it, why don't you share it with everyone else down in the comments? It might become a reality!
Thank you for following the devlopment of Garden In!, for all of the lovely people that got an early access to the game, don't worry the fixes are flying your way!

Lush gardens from your dreams are soon becoming a reality
Growing plants and gardens takes time, devotion, love, water, the right kind of soil, sometimes some fertilisers. No wonder we can’t keep our plants alive ourselves, it takes a lot. But not anymore, as Garden In! is coming out in early 2023! In this cute and relaxing sandbox game you grow gardens from your dreams with no stress.
Garden In! is made by an Italian studio Dramatic Iceberg. The game is the studio’s first commercial video game title. The game will be released by Bonus Stage Publishing on PC and Nintendo Switch early 2023. The game was featured in Wholesome Games and Guerrilla Collective in June 2022.
The game starts in one room in which you are tasked to decorate to your liking. Your room is basically a perfect little sandbox in which you can move furniture around, paint the environment, and most importantly: grow plants. A lot of plants.
At first you have a few seeds available, you can plant them in soil, water, rocks, and you have a few pots to choose from. But as you advance, combine different seeds and try out different growing conditions, your seed library will grow and grow, until you are the most advanced horticulturist in the world. You also unlock new rooms and areas by playing the game further.
“We started making the game because none of our team was able to keep their plants alive. We then decided we needed to learn some gardening skills, and just like that was the idea for the game born”, says Tommaso Verde from Dramatic Iceberg.
Garden In! is something we all need in our lives nowadays – relaxing and beautiful, with no worries or stress of the outside world. “We’re extremely happy to work with the publishing of Garden In because in the midst of the busy world we all need some time to relax in our gardens. Also what makes us happy is that thanks to our partner Double Jump Capital we’re able to maximise the production quality of the game with their investment in the game.”
Brett M. Brown, Managing Partner of Double Jump Capital said: “We are extremely excited to partner with Dramatic Iceberg and Bonus Stage Publishing to bring such a fun game to market. We see enormous potential in supporting such an innovative, entertaining and enjoyable game and look forward to the success of Garden In!”
