  • v1.1.0.0 Patch - 8 August 2023

    This update introduces everything being localized in Spanish thanks to our friend, Ginni Correa! If you play the game in Spanish and notice any issues, please let us know so we can adjust! We've also added some other quality of life updates and bug fixes. This update adds the following features and fixes: Fixing Crashes Anyone who experienced the game freezing or crashing during dialogue should now be able to enjoy the story with ease. The issue was related to how come computers/languages were changing some game data periods (.) into commas (,), and the dialogue reader couldn't handle that. We apologize for taking so long to fix this issue, but since these issues mostly occurred in other languages, we could never quite track this down. Achievements We have left in the invulnerability setting but no longer disable achievements from firing if you use it. We don't want anyone who uses this…

  • v1.0.1.0 Patch - 28 January 2022

    Once upon a time, there were a few developers making a game, and in making this game, they played it every day for over a year. As it turns out, when you play a game every day for over a year, you get pretty good at it. So good, in fact, that you don't quite realize how parts of the game are actually pretty challenging for people who haven't been playing it for years. Weird, right? Unrelated to the above story, we added checkpoints to some of the longer levels. This update adds the following features and fixes: Checkpoints Not every level has checkpoints, but we added checkpoints to some of the longer levels starting in The Islands region. Checkpoints look like flower pots, and activating one grows a flower in that pot. If you lose all your hearts or press retry, you will be reset to the last activated checkpoint. Pressing restart level will clear the checkpoint and start you at the beg…

  • v1.0.0.6 Patch - 19 September 2021

    Hello everyone, Being seen and acknowledged as you want to be is very important to us at Finite Reflection Studios. We are trying to tell a very specific story with The Gardener and the Wild Vines, and as such, we've seen a few instances where people have misgendered the characters as they've been enjoying the story, and that happens from time to time. To make sure people get the full impact of the story the way we want to tell it, we've added each character's pronouns beneath their name in the dialogue so everyone can know definitively what each character identifies as. This update adds/fixes the following things: Added pronouns for each character under their name. Fixed small design issue in Storm 7 to make it slightly easier. Added some missing button icons. Potentially fixed the missing button icons for controllers when using some controllers. These cases should fall back to Xbox UI…

  • v1.0.0.4 Patch - 14 September 2021

    Hello everyone, Here is another small update fixing some quality of life issues and more bugs we've seen. Have you ever been walking on a bridge only to accidentally turn around and walk ALL THE WAY BACK to the other side and get really mad at someone because you felt like it wasn't your fault? And then you see a construction worker who tells you that they added new safety rails to prevent this from happening and so you go BACK across successfully, make it home, have dinner, get in bed, accidentally press up and get teleported back to the bridge because one of the constructions workers installed the safety rail incorrectly? Us too. That's why THIS update fixes THAT problem, or at least that's what this construction working is saying. Bridges that could have sometimes been activated from very far away have been fixed. Fixed those OP crabs from moving while the game is paused. Fixed the b…

  • v1.0.0.3 Patch - 12 September 2021

    Hi everyone, Another small update coming your way. Have you ever been walking on a bridge only to accidentally turn around and walk ALL THE WAY BACK to the other side and get really mad at someone because you felt like it wasn't your fault? Us too. That's why this update fixes that very problem! Bridges are no longer activated automatically. You can now press the up arrow on the keyboard or your left joystick up on a controller once you land on a bridge to trigger a cross. You may have to jump and land on a bridge after crossing to activate it again. Shortened Island 7 as it was just too long. Chilled out The Magician a little since he was VERY aggressive. Happy Gaming, Finite Reflection Studios

  • v1.0.0.2 Patch - 11 September 2021

    Hello everyone, Here is another small update based on some of the things we've been seeing from streamers and other feedback from the community: Added a bloom disable to the settings. Fixed bug where skipping some dialogues would activate tutorials on the end dialogue instead. Improved the wording on the sliding tutorial to make it clearer. Various balance changes to several levels. Various small bugs and improvements. Happy gaming! - Finite Reflection Studios

  • v1.0.0.1 Patch - 9 September 2021

    Hello everyone, Thank you all SO MUCH for supporting The Gardener and the Wild Vines launch today. We've collected a few reports from people who have been playing the game since launch and have just pushed a small patch to fix the following issues: Fixed control rebindings not loading in properly when remapping some items to buttons. Made Storm 7 a little easier. Fixed a flower placement in Grasslands 7 that was sitting a little too high above a windmill. Fixed an exploit in Mountain 6 for the speedrun competition. Important Speedrun Update Due to the exploit found in Mountain 6, anyone wishing to submit an entry will need to update their game and submit a run without using the exploit. We want the competition to be fun and exciting, not cheap, so while we encourage creative strategies to getting the fastest speed, an exploit that basically lets you skip the entire level is against the…

  • Patch Notes - v0.9.5 (1) - 17 August 2021

    Hello everyone! Before you get to the patch notes, we want to remind everyone we have a discord for our studio where you can stay up to date (and get behind the scenes sneak peak at development): Join The Discord! Thank you all for playing the demo for The Gardener and the Wild Vines. We've addressed the following items in this update: Added a new slide mechanic. Press the down arrow key on keyboard or LB/LT on controller while running on the ground to do a quick slide that will give you a little boosted momentum! Updated visual for fast-fall animation to make it stand out more clearly. Fixed an issue where the player's velocity was a little inconsistent when attacking flowers. it should be more predictable now. Fast-falling now instantly cancels upward velocity instead of just slowing you down. Added a bunch of audio sfx to the game! Various other bugfixes and improvements. Numerous ch…

  • Patch Notes - v0.9.2 (2) - 17 March 2021

    Hello everyone! Before you get to the patch notes, we want to remind everyone we have a discord for our studio where you can stay up to date (and get behind the scenes sneak peak at development): Join The Discord! Thank you all for playing the demo for The Gardener and the Wild Vines. We've addressed the following items in this update: Sped up the vine growth. Vines should reach their destination much faster, allowing for flowers and leaves to appear sooner. Vine growth should be a bit more predictable Added heart pickups to levels where the player can lose hearts Added a Slow Fall tutorial to Grasslands 1 Polished the dialogue UI Added social links to the main menu Windmills updated to allow you to jump from anywhere Fixed knockback pushing player through walls Challenges updated to be about getting "par" flowers. You now have to get less than the indicated number of flowers to get tha…
