Garden Eternal news & patch notes

• Progression rebalance for better, longer, more chill play sessions.
• Ending threshold raised:a full run now lands much closer to its intended length
• Workers reworked: each worker now clicks ~once per second (8 workers @ T6: 4/sec → 12/sec, ~4.5× output)
• Monster losses softened: timeouts destroy half the targeted row instead of all of it; Wraith drain 50% → 25%

• Rocks and gold nuggets no longer survive a reset (and can't be mined before mining is unlocked)
• Fixed monsters permanently stalling out after a reset or reload
• Fixed full reset breaking the tutorial (and everything gated behind it) until the game was relaunched
• Visitors no longer spawn asking for seeds or resources you can't pay

• Windowed mode fixed: added 1280×720 and 1600×900, and the window now fits your screen instead of covering it
• New "Welcome back" banner shows what your garden earned while you were away
• Visitor dialogue no longer states exact seed/gold amounts (the card shows the true scaled value)
• Localization updated across all 9 languages

Hey everyone!

Thanks for flagging the display issues since the announcement; many of you on 1440p, ultrawide, and laptop screens were seeing black bars around the game. This update fixes that.

Display Updates

• Adaptive Resolution: The game now scales to fill your screen at any resolution, so no more black boxes or letterboxing on non-standard displays. Pixel art and text stay sharp at every size.

• Softer Glow: Toned down the screen glow for a cleaner, less hazy look.

Keep the feedback coming.

Hey everyone,

Thank you for the feedback since the announcement. We noticed a few issues caused by rapid clicking on the Heart, and this update addresses them.

Gameplay Updates

• Accidental Card Picks: Card packs no longer open automatically if you are clicking rapidly. Packs remain locked until clicking pauses and will glow at full brightness when they are ready to be opened.

• Seed Income HUD: The Seed counter now displays your passive income directly on the HUD. Hovering over the counter provides a complete breakdown of your Seeds per second.

• Building Sacrifice: Sacrificing a building now grants one free building of the next tier. This new building begins generating immediately.

Accessibility & Options

• Hold to Click: Added a new accessibility setting that allows you to hold the mouse button on the Heart instead of clicking repeatedly. This is disabled by default.

• Quit Button: Added a Quit button to the pause menu and title screen. The game automatically saves before exiting.

• Window Sizes: Windowed mode now supports 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions.

• Settings Menu: Organized the settings menu with a dedicated Accessibility section. Screen Shake and Tutorials are now located here.

Visual Updates

• Seed Shop Indicator: The Seed Shop now highlights when you can afford a Research Tree upgrade.

Keep the feedback coming.

Hey everyone!

Today I'm really excited to announce Garden Eternal: a cozy idle/clicker about tending an inherited garden, and the old debts that come with it.
