What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“VERDURE is a niche and unconventional project. Building it openly allows it to improve through experimentation, without committing years of development at once to something that may not easily find its audience. It is both a learning process and a creative pursuit, shaped through iterative updates rather than a fixed master plan. With its handcrafted music and art style, VERDURE already has a strong identity, and Early Access gives the freedom to refine and expand it at a sustainable pace.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game is expected to be in Early Access for several months of improvements and optimizations. This timeframe may be adjusted based on player feedback and the results of ongoing testing.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will remain a pure sandbox-style experience. Additional decorative options (like backgrounds and pots) are planned, along with extra recipe settings, music, and various small surprises to discover. The aim is to broaden creative possibilities and introduce new ways to interact with plants.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“VERDURE already offers its core experience: players can grow and shape plants, adjust many recipe settings, and save their creations to a personal collection. There are also a few bonus ways to influence growth. As a sandbox creative tool, there’s no progression cutoff to worry about.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The base price may increase as more content and features are introduced.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback will be gathered via Steam discussion boards and official support channel. Regular updates will be shared, and player suggestions can guide development throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

VERDURE is an odd generator of plants and trees! It is a creative sandbox where you can trim branches and experiment with growth controls.

There is no story or strict objective. VERDURE is for open-ended plant design, whether shaping a small bonsai tree, letting maple branches sprawl freely, or exploring how different settings affect them. The original soundtrack, retro visuals, and little hands-on growth interactions make the game peculiar.

Each plant is generated from a unique recipe that can be customized through more than 20 parameters, including trunk length, branch thickness, foliage distribution, and color palettes. You can:

  • Start from a random seed or design your own

  • Trim and prune branches, or let them grow organically

  • Edit combinations of backgrounds, foregrounds, and pots to suit your composition

  • Adjust growth speed and hide the interface for a more focused experience

  • Maintain a collection of personal favorites across 50+ save slots, with indicative names like ‘Cactus,’ ‘Pine,’ or ‘Sakura’

VERDURE can be enjoyed in short, fidget-friendly sessions or over longer periods to gradually expand your collection and refine each plant’s design.
