  0.50.0: Gardening, Plants and Many Improvements

  Hi Tiny Life enjoyers! It's yet again been a little while since the last devlog, and thus, since the last major update to the game. I'd like to apologize for the repeated delays in update releases, but I think this time around, it's really going to have been worth the wait for you. For Tiny Life 0.50.0, which is releasing alongside this devlog, we have a lot of cool new features to cover, including the major addition of gardening and the introduction of a foraging system to the game! Let's get right into it. Gardening Tinies can now acquire and build the Gardening skill by planting seeds, watering their plants, harvesting them, and even selling their produce for money. To get a good overview of the gardening system and how it works, you should check out this teaser video we made for it a while ago if you haven't already: Wild Plants The first step in your gardening journey is to gather some seeds in a seed bag. To do this, head out into the world and find some wild plants! Each of the three non-demo worlds featured in the game will now have wild plants strewn about in various locations. They generate (or grow) over time, so the ones you'd like to plant may not be available straight away, but be sure to check around every few days and see if you find them! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40649934/0794e8e8efc5d6512ac552f89fcec8925621e1d9.png When harvesting wild plants to gather seeds, your Tinies will automatically equip a seed bag that the seeds will then go into. Seed bags, as well as the harvest baskets we'll talk about a bit later, are handheld objects that store your seeds and harvestables. They can be picked up and put down like any other small items, but they can also be put into and taken out of your household storage, which allows them to be tucked away neatly and shared easily with other household members and across different locations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40649934/f5cfb10ddbc18544babd9b1f4c772e8a8b718da9.png In the future, the wild plants system will be expanded into a ...
