- Patch 1.4 ASMR Altered Worlds! - 26 September 2023
Patch 1.4 - Altered Worlds This new patch will take you into a different kind of customizable world to relax, meditate, or try to achieve higher planes of mediation. This is experimental world for advanced meditators to experiment with pseudoscience levels of brain states such as remote viewing, parallel universes, and much more the mind might be capable of. If your interested in the thoughts behind this patch, checkout the declassified "Gateway Process" project the CIA did back in the 80s. Fly through space Float, Fly, or fall through a quantum realm. Choose from any background, or just pick a white room with no distractions.

- Patch 1.25 Save/Load System to build your own custom garden! - 13 May 2023
Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with now that you can pretty much design your own garden! The save/load system is finished and added a button to delete the existing flowers. So in essence you can completely customize your own garden. 25 varieties/variations of plants, a pot and a few planters. Fixed/updated the menu system so its easier to jump menus. (Like if your in the interact menu and want to go to the beats menu, you no longer have to go back to main, you can jump right to it) Working heavily on the ASMR spawner and will be the next update!
- V1.22 Update - More Interactables! - 23 April 2023
Interact Stations - added a bowling station that gives points based on physical movement of the pins. Just a fun way to blow off steam before a meditation session. Interactables - Added a campfire with a nice glowing light you can spawn anywhere! Or 10 if you want. Also added a lantern you can carry around 2 different ways. Placeables & Save/Load System - Added 1 type of flower with 3 variants to start testing the flower placement and save/load system. These are place able objects that are not grabbable but are using the save system which saves there placement every few minutes and will load upon restarting. This is going to allow you to customize the world even more in the future!
- VR Zen Garden 1.2 and Beyond (Roadmap) - 17 April 2023
1.2 Interactions Update And 50% off Sale! This update introduces Interactables and Stations. A drawing station you can spawn anywhere to draw, write affirmations, things you are thankful for, or words to meditate on. You can also delete the pad and have the text floating in space. Other stations includes a table and a variety of rocks you can practice stacking, arrange in the sand garden, or anywhere you wish. The item interactables include candles to light with a match or with the fire pit. Place these candles anywhere in the world, hold them, let them light each other or arrange them in patterns. Spawn the backpack in to carry some or duplicate any items as well. There is no limits to how much you can spawn in except your computer. I’ve tested spawning in dozens of rocks and candles and pushed it to the limit. There is a delete button to clear them out if your system gets bogged down,…

- VR Zen Garden 1.0 Prerelease! - 8 March 2023
We are close to getting out of early access into a 1.0 Release for VR Zen Garden. Its been quite a journey from the early days, from upgrading Unity, to switching pipelines, adding new arm menus, plants, trees, weather systems and so much more! Thanks for those who have been with us through the beginning and kept us pushing this application further. Leaving early access won't mean we are done, it just means we think we are in a stable full game experience. We actually have a free DLC right around the corner we have been working on alongside this update. What new in 1.0? Graphics Engine We have upgraded to the Universal Render Pipeline so we can get higher graphics fidelity as well as better optimization for VR. This meant a massive over hall of all textures, water, trees, and plants. The new tree systems looks so much more alive and vibrant now and we spent a lot of time hand placing th…
- V0.90 UPDATE NEW VR-Player system, Arm Menu, Teleports, Dynamic lights / Shadows - 16 November 2022
Unity 2021 Reconstructed with the latest stable Unity3d version and the latest version of Envrio (clouds, weather, seasons, day/night cycle) Upgraded to OpenVR / OpenXR capability. VR-Player System New VR player interaction system with remote grabbing abilities, teleport and smooth locomotion options, and the ability to add much more. This also meant we had to rework all objects and menu systems. Arm Menu System Now you can change your meditations anywhere in the world. We also included a new Teleport menu to teleport to your favorite spots! Lighting / Optimizations With the new Enviro we have tweaked all the lighting, day / night cycles and dynamic shadows as the sun and moon move throughout the day. We added a ton of optimizations and tweaks to make it look good and run well on mid range systems. This is a pretty detailed world with a lot of moving trees, grasses, leaves, birds, butte…

- Version 0.80 More optimization and full season support - 6 August 2021
Optimizations We revamped some more graphics changes with still keeping the looks and feel we want of being surrounded in a garden and forest. It looks like we got at least 50% more performance so it should be a little smoother. In most of the experience though users are encouraged to find a spot they like and relax and listen, not run around, so framerate is not a big issue even for older cards. Seasons The seasons are setup fully now. You start in Summer which has more chances of rain, which is a new weather type we added. Spring and fall have a little less chance, and none in the winter. Winter is a high chance of snow and if you use the button to switch the seasons it will also change the terrain like in 0.75. There is 4 days to each season so you will see the sun, moon, stars change a bit faster now too. We also added a few more variants of partly cloudy to mix it up. Patch Notes 0…

- Version 0.71 Update - Panels & Music added - 30 September 2020
Panels & Music We organized the panels a bit more by moving the music to the second panel to free up some space. We added two more titles to the music selection (3 total) for those that want to mediate on their own without the guide. We now have 2 song selections that are right at the 30 minute mark for some longer and deeper sessions. Thanks for letting us journey together!
- Version 0.70 Update - Words for encouragement - 18 September 2020
This was going to be two patches, but we decided to roll them into one big patch with over 50 quotes from Buddha and the Bible. Wise Rock We added a rock in the left garden which contains many helpful verses from the Bible. Much of this wisdom will help you in struggles with stress, anxiety, fear, worry, anger, negativity and more. It's very important to get our minds right if we are to heal properly. They are displayed randomly each session and include buttons to press if you want more random verses. Buddha Quotes Buddha was a wise teacher and much of his teachings were very similar to Jesus. Love others as you love yourself, get rid of anger and resentment, willingness to give, etc. We added a wood tablet with quotes and a button to get more random quotes. I feel when we live by these standards and teachings, not by religion, not by persecution, not from a feeling of list of rules put…
