- Blooming May Dev Blog 🌱 - 7 May 2026
Hello, Friends! 🌱 It's May, and there's already lots of greenery and sun in our part of the world! Time flies, but we were busy bees, presenting The Regreening at two events last month and running another playtest here on Steam. So let's talk about it! Playtest #2 was a success! 🌱 Can you imagine 1465 people in one room? Neither can we, but that is precisely how many of you have tried The Regreening so far! A total of 870 people joined our Playtest during the Earth Appreciation Festival Playtest, which was even more than we imagined. We wonder where you found out about our game... Maybe you can let us know in the comments?🌺 According to our calculations, it takes around 40 minutes to finish the narrative part of the Playtest, but we see in Steam that the average playtime was 1h 7min! This is huge! And we're SO NORMAL about the fact that 20 of you went on to play for more than 5 hours…
