About That Release Date

Hey everyone, I wanted to give you an honest update on where things stand with Plant Budz. The short version: we're pushing the release back a bit (Q1 2026).

Repeated intro

Hey everyone,

  • Gameplay
changedHere's what happened: what started as a team effort has become essentially a solo project. Life circumstances changed for the others involved, and I've been wearing all the hats for a while now. I won't pretend I'm not part of the problem either - my 'go big or go home' philosophy can be difficult to work with. I'm still fully committed to finishing this game and making it something I'm proud of, but I need to be realistic about what one person can accomplish in a given timeframe.

The short version: we're pushing the release back a bit (Q1 2026). The original timeline just isn't realistic anymore given how development has evolved.

Delays are frustrating – I'm frustrated. But I've made the mistake of releasing unpolished content before and I would sooner scrap a project than do that again.

The game is still happening. Progress continues. I'm just adjusting expectations to match reality.

Thanks for sticking with me. Your support means more than you know, especially during the final stretch.

More updates soon,

Jirapher
