Repeated intro
Hello! I’ve been working on something much smaller and calmer, a cozy desktop plant game that quietly grows with you throughout the day.
What changed
- UI and audio
- Gameplay
- Balance
Repotted changes
Today, it’s finally live on Steam.
🪴 Why I made this
This project started while I was still fully employed in my previous job. Between the long hours and the stress, I didn’t have much time or energy left to care for my plants.
Gardening had always been my way to slow down and reset… and I really missed that.
I remember sitting through long meetings, wishing for that same sense of calm.
During commutes and travel, I started sketching ideas in my journal, imagining a small game where I could bring that feeling with me, even while working.
I sketched gameplay and UI designs and prototyping 3D assets during spare time...
I’ve also always loved getting a bit creative with my plants, reusing containers at home and turning them into little planters. Picnic baskets, jars, and other small things I found around me slowly became part of that habit.
Used an old picnic basket to hold my strawberry saplings!
That same idea made its way into the game, giving plants a home in ways that feel a little more personal and a little less ordinary.
After leaving my full employment, I was finally able to return to the idea with more time and clarity. It felt like a new chapter, both personally and creatively.
Along the way, I reconnected with former coworkers who were also exploring indie development, and together we brought this little project to life.
In a way, this project came together much like the plants I care for... finding new space, new light, and a chance to keep growing.
Repotted is a small reflection of that journey.
