• Near-term roadmap + voting on first expansion concepts - 4 December 2025

  Hey everyone! Thanks to all of you who picked up Strange Seed in its first 4 weeks on Steam. You are all AMAZING and I'm incredibly happy that over 12,000 people have now played the full game! We want to start working on a "big" update to the game; something that expands the amount of playable content and adds more hours of enjoyment. The 5 ideasWe have a list of ideas that are achievable for our team, but we can only start with one. So we want to hear what you think that one idea should be! Here they are:New Game + mode with challenges -- Replay the main campaign with a challenge! Challenges could include revised enemy layouts, upgraded bosses, restrictions on equipped parts, and a mystery "forced evolution" mode. The Testing Arena -- Who can reach the highest damage, largest size, fastest speed, and more? The Testing Arena is a new post-game area where you break evolution's limits. A…
