The final stage is almost done! This is basically all I can show without spoiling anything...

🧵(3/4)

My goal is to make NNFF as good of a game as possible (within reason). The next update, v3.0.0, will be the *final major patch* for the DEMO

Any additional updates will be minor bug fixes... Which means your replays and scores will no longer be affected by any future updates!

🌸No Need for Flowers: Progress Update🌸

Thank you for all the great feedback during Nextfest!

I've been listening to your critiques and put together a list of improvements for the full release. Additionally, these changes will be added to the DEMO as well!.. 🧵(1/4)

Here's a preview of one of my favorite backgrounds so far!

After all the rainy stages, it only made sense to have one up in the clouds themselves

Without giving *too* much away, the second half of the game has characters with more serious and dark conflicts. Stage 4's background monologue is meant to help introduce everything with more of a build up than if you just saw it some random quick, maybe even confusing, boss dialogue scene

NNFF has some pretty experimental stages as far as bullet hells go. Here's a short clip of Stage 4, one of the most experimental levels in the entire game

it might seem like overkill now, but trust me, you'll need those extra lives for the last 3 stages...

That big pink thing on Lotus's head is actually a bush. Alligator dragons wear plants on their head for camouflage.

(This is her without it)

SCORING SYSTEM REWORK🌸

The graze/multiplier system has been completely reworked into a new system called "tension"! It has a big impact on your score, and there are tons of interactions to learn and master.

For the specifics, you can read the changelog!: noneedforflowers.com#patchnotes

The previous video is a preview of the new and improved Hard Mode!

Well actually, it's not *really* new. The version in the demo is a very toned-down version of the real thing. In this patch, the demo will include the true Hard Mode!

In short, there's a lot more bull... ets. Bullets, yeah.
July 7, 2025 at 9:06 PM
Demo 2.0 update, coming Saturday!🌸

I've been putting together a major patch that addresses the core issues with NNFF's design. The score mechanics, sprite readability, and difficulty have all been improved.

Here's what to expect, starting with Hard Mode!...🧵(1/4)

🧵(4/4) Despite the aforementioned personal delays, NNFF development is still going strong, and it's on track to be finished and released in 2026! While the exact release date isn't decided yet, I can confidently say it will be out sometime in spring or summer... So look forward to that!

The feedback from the demo is continuing to be very positive! I'm glad everyone who has tried it is enjoying it.

... By the way
Has anyone found the "secret level" yet?

Thank you for following the development of NNFF. I hope you're looking forward to what's in store in the full release!

… Although, if you obtained the last two achievements, you'll have gotten a pretty good look at what's to come.

Thank you all so much for your support!

So far, in just one day, the demo got 400+ Steam downloads, was featured on the itch.io New & Popular page (#2 for the day!!), and received a lot of incredibly nice and positive feedback... 🧵(1/3)

NNFF just hit 100 wishlists, thank you all so much!
May 29, 2025 at 11:52 PM
The Steam demo release date is still currently unknown, but it won't be too long after the itch release! (probably...)
May 24, 2025 at 9:01 PM
It'll release on itch.io first, and after a little while (not sure how long, but probably not too long), it'll be available for download on Steam as well.

(Also, here's some gameplay footage with the new and improved SFX)

🌸 Update: Good news!! (for the No Need for Flowers demo) 🌸

The assets needed for the demo have been finished. All that's left is some more tweaking / testing before it's done.

You can look forward to playing it in either June or July!
