Devlog: Levels in Idle Garden 🌱

03 Aug 2024

Today I’ve released version 0.12 of Idle Garden. Here’s what’s new in this update:

Introduction of Levels

The biggest feature in this update is the introduction of levels! Now, as you play, you’ll progress through different levels (based upon your score, introduced in the last major update), unlocking new features along the way. For this first iteration there are 4 levels which unlock the various automations, expect more levels in the future.

Visual Indicators

I’ve added a small visual indicator on the display to notify players of changes. This should make it easier to see when something in your inventory or garden changes.

Save

The save button has now moved to the top of the sidebar. I wanted this to be a bit less intrusive so I also changed to an icon rather than text. Longer term, I expect this will become a pause button instead that will bring up the option to save, adjust game volume, etc.

That’s all for this update! Stay tuned for more updates.

Happy gardening! 🌼
