How Does Your Garden Box Grow?
Written onThe Garden Box was a phenomenal addition to Creatures when Amaikokonut first released it, and additional agents have slowly been released over time. I often never have enough time to simply enjoy how awesome the patch plants can be, so I finally set aside a little time to just create a little garden. A little planning, some imaginary water, and a green mouse (rather than a green thumb)… And voila! I had a beautiful garden brimming with life in Veridia. Everything melded together rather nicely: Even the yellow flowers from the background almost looked like they were more than just decorations. A lot of metarooms contain background elements that are just asking to be populated with Garden Box elements! Sometimes it’s fun to just build a garden out of the blue, though, like Darby did!
A special thanks to Laura for her wonderful contributions to the Garden Box, as well as everyone else who has contributed! I would love to see even more creations, particularly flowers and fruits/vegetables which sprout from the ground. One thing’s for sure: Norns, Grendels, and Ettins need never go hungry again with so many delicious food sources around! Who could starve with all of this delicious fruit? Silly question… We know our Creatures all too well!
Yay garden box! Really must go back and try it out again. I played around with it shortly after release, but I’ve no doubt there’s stacks of new addons for it by now.
Same thing happened with me! I only used the original patches for the longest time, partly because I’ve messed up my game more times than I care to count. It’s never anyone’s fault but my own… Luckily, I seem to have done things correctly this time around! It’s really fun to play around with these beautiful releases. I can’t wait to see even more in the future!
It’s funny to think that it was only released just over a year ago, and now it’s essential. :)
I’ve also been experimenting with creating a ‘critter patch’ agent here (in perpetual beta):

They’re basic, but hopefully will get others thinking about ways to expand the garden box. :)
Critter patches? Now that’s an awesome idea!
I definitely plan on trying out your Albian Glow-Worms, Malkin! They sound awesome, and I really enjoy critters. Great to see another great idea for the Garden Box!
