• Version 1.8 Update - 26 August 2026

  Stop and Smell the Flowers is approaching one month post-release! Thank you so much for all the reviews and feedback so far!This update is to touch on a few bugs and roll out a new behavior in the Inventory which will hopefully help with introducing the Collection system.Improved Tutorialization via Collection CheckI have noted that many players are slow to discover storing flowers in the Collection, some never do before quitting the game. Collecting is a key component of the game, so I wanted to make this more clear to players.I added a pop-up to warn players if they are selling a flower that they haven't stored in their Collection yet. It doesn't prevent selling uncollected flowers, but is meant as a nudge towards the intended gameplay.This change has the added benefit of preventing unintended mass-selling of an uncollected flower in the late game when the collection can get a bit cha…

• Improved Chinese Translations and Minor Bug Fixes - 19 July 2026

  With the release date for Stop and Smell the Flowers fast approaching, extra effort was put into an overhaul of the Chinese translations which we hope will make for a more clear and enjoyable experience for our Chinese players.

• Watering, Water Enhancements, and Bee Benefits Added! - 20 May 2026

  I just uploaded a build (v0.31d) which adds the following new features to the Stop and Smell the Flowers demo:WateringWater EnhancementsPulling weedsBee BenefitsMy hope is that this change will provide a more engaging experience for those who want to play actively, while also giving an extra benefit to idle playstyles.WateringHappens when you click on a growing flower in the garden that is currently dry. Watering happens by default when first planting seeds, and can be done again at each growth stage prior to harvest-ready maturity. Each time you water your flower during it growth lifespan, the grow speed increases. You can also pair watering with water enhancements for extra bonuses, giving you up to three water enhancements per flower. Watering is optional, only providing the speed boost and possible water enhancement when performed. Skipping watering has a benefit of reducing the lik…

• Limiting Garden Plots in Demo and More Obvious Harvest Seed Button - 8 May 2026

  Demo-Locked Garden PlotsI added a limit on which plots are purchasable in the demo. The most expensive plot in the demo now is $19,494. This will not affect old saves, only new saves moving forward. The locked plots are automatically unlocked in the full game version.This will prevent players from grinding excessively past completing the demo collection, to maintain the spirit of the game.Inventory Action ButtonsI also made the "harvest seeds" and "sell" buttons in the Inventory scene more apparent by filling in the background color when a flower is picked up, not just when the button is hovered.The purpose of this is to make it more obvious that harvesting seeds is an option in the Inventory, since it has been missed by quite a few players.

• Removing Excessive Achievements from Demo - 7 May 2026

  Hey all!I have decided to remove the achievements: Grow 5,000 Total Flowers,Unlock Every Garden Plot, and Earn $500,000from the demo.The achievements will still be in your game data if you met them, and will register in the full game achievements as completed.I decided to remove them because, although they are technically reachable, they are a grind to get with the limited flowers to collect in the demo and makes the demo feel less relaxing and more like work.I am also going to be locking the ability to buy some of the garden plots in the demo in the next version update (v0.27d), although they will remain unlocked if already purchased in your save.I greatly appreciate all those who did feel compelled to strive for those achievements, and that made this decision very difficult for me to make. Opening the full game will call every achievement you finished in the demo and return them to yo…
