- 🎮 UPDATE 1: NEW WAYS TO PLAY - OUT NOW! 🎮 - 1 August 2025
🌱 Dear Sproutlings 🌱 It's been a hot minute since we announced this update - but now its finally ready to go.Heres what we added to Space Sprouts today:🎮 Controller Support! You can now enjoy Space Sprouts with your favourite controller. This was a bit harder than you might think (Unity UI cough). We did quite a lot of testing to make throwing things around as satisfying as possible. And we're really happy that now you can just sit back and mess around with all the weird things in our game with a controller - it just feels nice. And of course you can always re-map everything in the settings menu!💨Steam Deck Optimization! You can now play Space Sprouts on the go with your Steam Deck. It took us quite a bit of time (and help from our most favourite tech wizard) to optimize it for the Deck. We're really happy with its performance now and seeing our game running on that pretty OLED scre…
- ⭐ THE FUTURE OF SPACE SPROUTS ⭐ - 18 June 2025
🌱 Dear Sproutlings 🌱 Its been almost three months since we released Space Sprouts. It was quite a busy time for us - fixing bugs, going to conventions, enjoying the numerous streams, etc. But after a while it all slowed down again. So we finally took some time to enjoy life again. And after we all had a good long nap, we sat down and made a list of things we still wanted to add to the game. You know, these small (and sometimes not so small) ideas, that we thought would be really fun or cool or weird, but where ultimately cut during development. And then we made a plan on how to actually do this. So naturally we came up with this very official Roadmap™️ graphic: The best part: UPDATE #1 - "NEW WAYS TO PLAY" will go live next week already, just in time for the Steam Summer Sale as soon as its ready (sorry for the delay ;_;). While we won't spoil too much just yet, in this update we will…
- ⭐ THANK YOU! ⭐ - 2 April 2025
Thank you all so much for the great feedback and support... It means the world to us! ♥ 💫 A Journey Into The Unknown 💫 Dear Sproutlings 🌱, On a sunny day about three years ago, we were sitting on a park bench in Berlin, spitballing random game ideas that we wanted to explore. Ideas that stuck with us and came back to us from time to time. One of them was fairly simple: What about a game where you are alone in space and you start talking to your plant? This simple concept changed and transformed over time—as most game ideas do. Over time it grew into different forms; each of them could've been a proper game. From a narrative-driven comic game to a sci-fi survival sandbox (eat those hamburgers before you sleep, Oda!) and finally to the unique blend of genres that we have today. But there were other parts of the concept that remained steadfast: A short journey through space. A mysteriou…

- ⭐ DECEMBER NEWS ⭐ - 21 December 2024
A LOOK BACK AT 2024 🌟🎄 Dear Sproutlings 🌱, as the holidays approach and 2024 draws to a close, what better time to reflect on the incredible journey this year has been? 🚀 From a Single Room to a Growing Universe 2024 truly was the year for Space Sprouts! The game evolved from a small placeholder tech demo with just one room into a huge experience with almost 20 unique rooms filled with real gameplay and personality. We dug into our archives and found this screenshot from last December: the cockpit area – the only existing room at the time. While much has transformed since then (and Oda no longer looks like a LEGO minifigure), there’s one object in this screenshot that hasn’t changed a bit. Can you spot it? 👀 Oda floating in the very first 2023 cockpit Oda floating in the December 2024 cockpit 🛠️ The Journey Toward Release As we approach the release early next year, we’re hard at w…
