- Viridi LP - 22 July 2026
Viridi's OST is now available on beautiful, green vinyl. We worked with Chehade Boulos (Mana Wave Media) to produce this limited edition run of 300 copies, with art by Gianne Encarnacion and Libby Frame. Acquire it here --> https://manawave.co/products/viridi🌱🐌
- Wee bug fix - 20 April 2026
This patch is to fix a bug that's only really coming up on mobile versions right now. The fix changed some underlying code in a way that is better optimized, but that probably won't be noticeable either. Happy spring 🐌🌱
- Apple Silicon Fix - 24 October 2025
Fixed an issue with the Steam integration that was causing immediate crashes on Apple Silicon devices (I think). Also fixed some minor UI issues that occurred at extreme aspect ratios, and found and fixed a bug where window size changes made in the nursery were reset when returning to your pot.
- Post-Gyroscope Fixes - 22 October 2025
Just some quick fixes in response to early feedback from the Crystal Gyroscope Update.Viridi will now launch in windowed mode by default. The ESC menu has a button to toggle between windowed and fullscreen modes.Viridi will attempt to remember your selected mode and resolution and will re-launch in that mode.The bottom/main menu, spritz, and hoist buttons will now shift around as you resize the window, to keep a functional, good-looking layout. The minimum width of this menu area has been expanded to support even longer plant names.The ESC menu will now unhide UI when it opens. (There is a semi-secret function of the Z key hiding/unhiding the UI. ESC will force unhide, which I think will be easier for people when they accidentally hide the UI without knowing what's up.)The rename UI will now properly close when you click away from a plant without finishing rename. Thanks for your feedba…
- The Crystal Gyroscope Update - 21 October 2025
Our first Viridi update since 2018 😅. Hello from the future! We've updated the engine and done some selective optimizations, so the game should run a little smoother. We finally have a 64-bit OSX build! There are two new pots, "The Dansk of a Lifetime," and "Bronzino." If you don't know, you can change your current pot while keeping all the plants by using the 'Repot ___' option in the Nursery.We've added a new environment, the Elven Throne. This environment will be unlocked for free for anyone with the achievement 'The Elven Artefacts' from Tenderfoot Tactics. It's a tough one, you basically have to beat the game, heheh. You can also buy the Crystal Gyroscope in the Nursery to gain access to the Elven Throne. Other changes:The ESC key, when pressed in the pot scene, will now bring up an \ button, so you no longer have to just alt-F4 out of the game.The bat 🦇 now only has a chance to…

- Coming Soon: Tenderfoot Tactics - 11 September 2020
A party of goblins, granted magic by an ancient spirit, wanders the archipelago, fighting back the terrible Fog. Tenderfoot Tactics is a big, exploratory, open world tactics RPG with a focus on elemental magic and complex, cascading side effects. The entire dang Viridi team is working on it, and it's coming really soon! October 21st! Check it out, and throw it a wishlist to be notified when it releases: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1061610/Tenderfoot_Tactics/ twitter.com/tenderfoot_tact facebook.com/TenderfootTactics instagram.com/icewatergames/ discord.gg/B82BDEv
- Pattern - Now Available - 7 April 2020
A game about making games. A collaboration between half of the Viridi team (Michael Bell on sound and music, Badru on code) and a newer Ice Water Games member, Galen Drew. We hope you enjoy it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/969540/Pattern/
- Tenderfoot Tactics + Ice Water Games - 10 March 2020

We've just announced today that we'll be self-publishing Tenderfoot Tactics through Ice Water Games. This might not seem like a big deal, idk. It's a big deal for us though! Ice Water Games is a label that most of the Tenderfoot team has been a part of since it was first founded to publish Eidolon. It's a collectively owned and democratically run project, and publishing through it rather than signing with someone else means betting on ourselves and investing in a communally owned resource. IWG's history has been artier and less dorky than Tenderfoot, and by doing this I hope we're both saying: Tenderfoot is arty, actually, in the ways that matter and also, arts outlets should be treating 'lowbrow' fantastical genre work as serious and worth playing. Probably m…

- Tenderfoot Tactics - World Teaser - 25 June 2019
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1061610 I haven't been very loud about Tenderfoot until now because I've been waiting to get this teaser together to show off the open world, which is part of what makes it stand out among TRPGs. (I mean, also the combat is super deep and interesting and fun.) Anyway I'm really excited about it! It's a small team but all of us also worked on Eidolon and Viridi. Wishlist it! It really makes a huge difference! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYRQDGzXjZY
- Hello!! - 15 May 2019
Hi! I'm Badru! I started Ice Water Games, lead the Eidolon team, did a bunch of colors and design and code on Viridi, and uhh did some other stuff too!! I just made a Steam Creator page for myself here, if you want to follow my work: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F35059002%2F5f2cfa20a92bacfed327b7960a64891e6f4cb237.png And hey also! I'm working on a new thing with some past collaborators (which may or may not end up coming out under the IWG label) - Michael Bell's doing the music and Isa Hutchinson's helping a bunch with design. It's a big open-world TRPG about wizardly goblins and fae spirits and elemental magics. Wishlist it if you're into the stuff we've worked on in the past? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1061610/Tenderfoot_Tactics/?curator_clanid=35059002 And also give it a follow! I think I'll be posting development updates over there very so…

- New from the creators of Viridi - 🔥 Fire Place 🔥 - 21 September 2018
Savor the simple pleasure of building and maintaining a fire. Best enjoyed during seasonal gatherings and cold, dark nights. https://store.steampowered.com/app/933080/Fire_Place/ Do check out the demo - meant to be a satisfying version of the thing on its own, a cozy addition to any fall party. Happy Equinox!
- Tiny Patch - 27 January 2018
Happy January everyone! We heard that the quickly flashing day-night cycle that played at startup if you'd been gone a very long time was physically uncomfortable (or even a seizure risk) for some people, so we made a minor graphical adjustment. Now, if it's been any more than 4 days, while your plants will still grow to reflect it, the time playback animation will only show 4 cycles. Love from Seattle!
