Beautiful concept art drop for @gardens.dev‘s upcoming game gardens.dev/press
Three characters doing a heroic pose together: a warrior, and archer, and probably some kind of mage or healer. They’re in a dim forest, but lit by a ray of light coming through the canopy. Art style reminds me of blurring_my_day’s style.

We're kicking off 2026 with a new website, a press kit, and a look back at the year just past which saw us running external playtests, hiking among the redwoods, and sleeping in racecar beds.

Here's Gardens Interactive's 2025 Year in Review! 🐸

two distant characters (one holding a staff, the other equipped with a sheathed sword and shield) stand at the entrance of a mossy cavern, looking out at the wilderness beyond. squidlike creatures float midair in the foreground.

we hosted a secret teahouse LAN party during Summer Game Fest this past weekend where we let a select group of folks play our still-unannounced debut game. it was so heartening to see the enthusiastic response to what we've been building!
an overhead shot of a warmly lit teahouse room full of people -- some sitting on the floor, some standing and chatting. concept art is projected onto gauzey fabric hanging from the ceiling. there are 4 PC demo stations on short tables on the floor and 2 more standing PC demo stations on the side. the footage on the screen is censored. a close-up shot of 4 people seated around a PC demo station. there are people standing and talking in the background next to a tea bar.

thanks for the well wishes everyone!

can't really talk about what the game is for a bit, but will say the two reasons I joined up was the people working on it are incredible, and the game itself is something truly special

i will give one hint though:

we're making a shared fantasy adventure game in which making stew is important. it takes a lot! in fact, you can never have too many cooks.

help us cook!! we're hiring a Gameplay & Combat Designer! our remote studio offers competitive salaries, 35-hr work weeks & more 🐸

in this concept art by Gardens art director @Phandy.bsky.social, three figures sit around a campire fire beneath huge, mossy stone statues. a red-cloaked character sits and sharpens their blade with a whetstone, and the other two (one wearing a blue wizard-like hat, the other in a hooded teal cloak) are collaborating over a pot of stew.

our boss says he can eat 52 eggs but that's the kind of hubris the gods are supposed to smite people for

i promise we're making a very good video game but the Gardens team has also been debating how many eggs we could eat in a sitting for two entire days

more eggs than Marlon Brando? is eating eggs PvP?

bluesky how many eggs do you think you could eat in a sitting this is really important
steph.cam stephen @steph.cam · Jan 23
i think "21 eggs already! i'm better than you newman" all the time
Brando was extremely competitive, and in 1968 he appeared at a private party celebrating Oscar nominations in which Paul Newman was in attendance with his wife Joanne Woodward. Brando approached Newman and began a conversation that eventually became very heated, resulting in Brando shouting and Newman walking away. Later that evening Brando stood on a table and challenged Newman to an egg eating contest, like the one Newman was depicted doing in Cool Hand Luke, however Newman ignored the challenge. Brando, undeterred, had somebody from his entourage bring him dozens of hard boiled eggs, and started the competition without Newman. While eating, he would loudly keep count as he consumed the eggs saying things like "21 Newman! 21 eggs already! I'm better than you Newman!", while mocking and insulting Newman the whole time, and calling him a "phony". Eventually, Brando consumed 51 eggs before being removed from the party, 1 more than Newman's character did in Cool Hand Luke. As he was being escorted out, he reportedly said "51 eggs Newman! I beat you! You couldn't eat 51 eggs because you're a phony, Newman. I'm better than you, and always will be Newman! Don't ever forget that!" - True Hollywood Tales 1997

genuinely excited about what this studio is working on. if you're what they are looking for, I would urge you to apply

phenomenal attitude about how games should be made, from the people making them to the people they are made for

they're not kidding about the work/life balance stuff either!
