- Blooming Business: Casino game price reduction - 27 June 2024
We have reduced the base price of the game! Since we are back as publishers now for our game, we’ve decided to permanently decrease the price of the base game. Dear players, Blooming Business: Casino was released over a year ago now! It’s been quite a journey to release a first game as a small indie dev studio, we’ve learned a ton and we’ve been trying to improve the experience as much as possible thanks to your feedback and our understanding of the Steam community expectations. It has been quite a thinking process (to be honest ever since the development of the game!). At Homo Ludens, we think it is fairer to revise Blooming Business: Casino’s selling price and reduce it. It's very challenging to identify the correct price point for a game, taking into account the game content, development costs, Steam and publishers fees, and of course the current consumer purchasing power. To sum it…
- Blooming Business: Casino released one year ago! - 25 May 2024

We will also grant one exclusive item: the Elephant Fountain to whoever has purchased the game before the 1st of June at 12:55 French time! It’s still a great pleasure to organize seasonal events with free items and patch the game based on your feedback! Throwback to one year of live ops support 9 Updates in total (3 major updates and 6 patches) since the release of the game Steam workshop with 4 dev-made mods, and a total of 450 subscriptions! New game feature: "Hide Wall" feature Increased Sandbox mode difficulty 11 new items (free seasonal items: Halloween, Winter season, Lunar New year) 3175 bugfixes and tons of improvement While there are still some remaini…
- NEW FEATURE: No More Bricks in the Wall - 28 March 2024
Hey there owners! We’ve listened to your feedback… And you’ve been asking for a way to manage the walls inside your casinos for a while! That time has come: you can now remove the inside walls by either clicking the button on the lower left or pressing H, and the walls will lower themselves so you can have a bigger view of your Casino. Wether you use it for good (decorating and checking everything runs smoothly) or evil (spying on your employees and customers) is up to you! And since we didn't want to give you just this one good news, we've also added an easter item so you can bring the Holiday spirit to your casinos if you feel like it. It will be available starting this Easter Monday and for a whole week! Have fun managing and decorating, and feel free to leave us more feedback here or on our social media :)

- Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest - 4 January 2024
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate… 💰Money💰. Granted, not the most sexy subject for a festival and yet, a lot of us LOVE management games: building a business from the ground and making it a profitable one. This year, Blooming Business: Casino has been selected to participate in the Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest, which celebrates games about and around the big bucks. We might not be the biggest fans of the capitalism system IRL, but we admit it does have the ground for fun video games, and we loved playing around its flaws to make a quirky satirical Casino management game. We did wanna criticize the casino business while still making it a good management game, and we hope this is exactly how you see it! Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest will take place from January 8th to the 15th, and we might have some few surprises in store for the occasion, so stay tuned t…
