Growing Things Up - Season 1 news & patch notes

Hello everyone, King here!

I wanted to stop by and thank the more than 120,000 players who picked up GTU, and especially those who took a moment to leave a review on Steam, happily, most of them have been positive! I read every single one and always look for constructive takeaways, even from the criticism, which is just as important.

This feedback helps me understand what worked and what didn’t, ensuring I deliver a second season that is truly worthy of everyone’s attention.

Now, back to development since there's still a lot of work to be done. See you soon!

Hello everyone, King here! Just stopping by to share some news with you all: 18 achievements have been added to GTU, and a few of them are hidden 👀

From here on, the main focus will be improving the translations, while I continue working on Season 2. If everything goes according to plan, it’s currently scheduled to release in the first quarter of 2028.

Thank you for playing!

Hello everyone, King here. Some time ago, I used to imagine what the Steam launch might be like, whether you would enjoy the game, whether it would sell well, and so on. I remember talking about it with the team and with my fiancée, saying: “Can you imagine if we ever reach 10k sales?” The funny thing is that back then, I wasn’t thinking about 10k in days, but in years.

Looking at it now, it might sound unreal, but since this was my very first attempt at making a game, everything felt uncertain. Thankfully, with the support of the amazing people on Patreon, I was able to quit my traditional job and fully focus on GTU. And today, after so many uncertainties, I’m writing to you having reached this sales milestone in just two days.

For some, this might not seem like a big deal, but for us, it means everything. So thank you so much for being part of this journey. Every scene was made with a lot of care, and I’ve been loving reading all your reviews.

As a small token of appreciation, I’m sharing this mobile wallpaper, in case you’d like, just like me, to walk around with a nice image on your phone 😛 Oh, and one more thing… Season 2 is already in production!
