Greenhouse Devlog 11/12/25 - Massive milestone reached! ✨

Babe, wake up.. We made it! :>

The art is done! After over a year of focus on the illustrations, Greenhouse's biggest hurdle by far has been leaped!

450+ drawings finished! It's crazy to me what can be done if you just take things a day at a time..

To illustrate this achievement and for your viewing pleasure I have created 450 dots. You're welcome. :3

Greenhouse Devlog 10/8/25 - Art grind nears conclusion (NSFW)

Happy spooky monthπŸ¦‡!

Part of me wishes I could've finished Greenhouse this month to add to the dark and creepy atmosphere.. ah well.

All signs point to this being my last month dedicated to the artwork for Greenhouse! Yeeeeeeey!

That only took.. well, a long time. Things are never as simple as I think they're gonna be. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Greenhouse Devlog 9/9/25 - There is only color

Good morn, eve, night to my fellow greenery enjoyers!

142.. Only 142 more arts to color.. πŸ‘οΈ_πŸ‘οΈ

That's not toooo much.. I could technically finish them all in a month.. That's only about 5 per day.

In theory it sounds easy. In practice, not so much. I find my current limit to be about 4 daily before I start to lose my mind. :o

We'll see how close I can get to finishing them all this month. I'd like to get as close as I can!

Greenhouse Devlog 8/2/25 - The deep dark (NSFW)

Another month of Greenhouse dev in the books.. another walk through an eerie pathway with destination unknown..

Hello there, and welcome to another Greenhouse devlog. :]

In July I focused heavily on coloring, as has been the case lately. I included some recent work above. Let me know what you guys think!

I also made these cute ads! They didn't take too long but it's one less thing I have to worry about in the future.

Greenhouse Devlog 7/2/25 - Getting warmer

Better eat it before it melts! :3

I'll start with an important announcement..

Bloom and up tiers will be receiving steam keys when Greenhouse releases! :]

Whether you are a bloom now or were a bloom in the past, I'll be sending you a key so that you can download Greenhouse on steam if you'd like.

The same goes for the Ensnared tier, except I'll send you 2 keys! One for you and one to give to whoever you'd like. :3

Greenhouse Devlog 5/28/25 - So close, yet so far (NSFW)

For a 23rd time, it's devlog time! :>

This time round' I focused on coloring. I finished about 70 more illustrations.. A decent number, though quite a bit short of my rough goal of finishing 5 per day.. :/

I completed 2 of the larger scenes this month and I think I'll try to tackle the largest scene next.

You can see some of the this months work above. Each drawing is a different location/setting.

It's been interesting dealing my shading style and how I const...

Hey everyone! Yet again, it is update time! :>

So this month(and then some) was all about writing and coloring! I spent the majority of the time coloring but I was having more fun writing so I switched over to that.. And folks, I'll say this chapter is a fuckin doozy. I estimate the word count of the full game to blossom to around that of the average novel.. Around 70000 words. The scene I'm currently finalizing, which is the largest of greenhouse is alr...

Greenhouse Devlog 3/21/25 - One of them (Nsfw)

Hello! :3

Little bit of a slower month for Greenhouse production this month, not that I didn't get a lot done.. I'd love to say that I'm blitzing through the writing but as you can see down below, that's not the case.. Only 20% done so far. :/

Most of my energy went towards those.. those dreaded sketches! πŸ₯² Yes I know I'm supposed to be done with them by now but the final scene (perhaps predictably) is twice as large as I originally thought.. :|

Luckily I only have about ...

Work on Greenhouse is going well.. hopefully not too many more of these devlogs before I'm done. Not that I don't enjoy writing them and creating this story, it's just been all looong time. πŸ€ͺ I'm sure you all understand.

Welcome! And happy new year! πŸ₯³

I hope you're all doing well. :3

Firstly, I'd like to say I have bad news and good news..

I'm definitely a bad news first type of person so I'll give that now. :<

I wasn't able to complete all ~158 sketches this month. I was on pace for a good while but I could feel burnout creeping in and quality started to slip a bit, so I slowed down slightly and had to rest some days.. As I've said in the past, I'd definitely rather just slow ...

Greenhouse Devlog 12/8/24 - The great sketchening

Heyo there! It's update time!

This month has been very productive as I've finished a bunch of quality sketches for several scenes in greenhouse. I'm glad to say I've finally finished the longest scene of greenhouse, which ended up with almost 100 images. The previous longest was the dream scene in Chapter 2, which was 30, I think. Damn..

It's an interesting one because it feels completely different from all other scenes and I feel like it could even be a stand...

Greenhouse Devlog 11/8/24 - Much done, much to do

Update time! :o

This past month I've delved deep into a particularly lengthy Greenhouse scene. It's by far the longest scene in the game.. by more than double.

I've just been sketching sketching and more sketching! That's what I'm heavily focused on for the time being. If I can finish every single sketch for the chapter without burning out I will.. and I'm feeling pretty good so far.

To this point I've finished over 200 sketches, which is already quite a bit m...

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while.. Not really a ton to say besides "I'm still working" lately.

The heart of the city - so pristine and perfect.

Hello, welcome back! :>

I've been busy doing a lot of writing. I was able to finish a pretty good chunk of the story in the past few weeks. I've been trying to write in a different style than usual. In the past chapters I've written in a very sterile and straightforward way that I'm not a big fan of.. This new way is much more descriptive and interesting in my opinion. Hopefully people will like it.

Heyo! πŸ‘‹

Work has been going pretty well on greenhouse, if a bit slower than usual. This summer has been pretty hot. Like really hot.. Particularly these last few weeks have been 100f/48c+ and I don't have AC. :|

It can make working a little tougher when you're absolutely roasting.

Luckily it seems like the last of the really hot temps are this week, thank goodness. :))

Things are going well on Greenhouse but I don't have the most to say this time. It's hard to think of stuff to talk about right now without spoiling things..

I'm still in that story outlining and sketching faze. At this point I have a pretty solid grasp on the story and what exactly is going to happen in almost every scene.

Back at it again with an update!

Lately I've been doing a little bit of everything. I haven't focused on a specific task like I usually do. It's keeping things fresh.

I did a lot more work on the horror section thing and It's shaping up nicely. Looking forward to seeing how it finally turns out.

I've even been doing a little bit of sound design for certain areas, too. I don't really know what I'm doing with that but I'm stumbling my wa...

Greenhouse Devlog 4/9/24 - The Beast in the Dark

Hello, welcome back!

For the last few weeks I've decided to take a break from writing and planning to work on a rather elaborate new section of the game that I'd recently got the idea for.

Since I started greenhouse, I've always wanted it to have more of a horror undertone but for some reason I can't seem to consistently achieve that feeling.. So for this section of the game I'm leaning into it. My goal is to make this part very horror-y and atmospheric.

Greenhouse Devlog 3/11/24 - Orchestrating The Finale

Hey all! :>


I've spent the past few weeks working on a bunch of stuff for Greenhouse, but most of the work has been planning out chapter 3.

I'm taking my time to make sure I don't miss or forget to add anything. It's easy to make changes in this stage but the deeper I get into development the harder it will be to correct issues or add anything. So yeah, it's pretty important that I set things up correctly.

As of right now, this is what the decision tree for cha...

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well..

Since the last devlog I've been able to finish 70 more arts, so that's cool. I'm getting pretty close to finishing up the art side of the chapter. Most of what I have left are environments, which are somewhat tedious so I'm glad I'm almost done.

As far as what I'll have to do after I finish the art, it's honestly not too much. It kinda depends on what want to do now and what I want to do for the final chapter. For instance I'd like to rew...

It took some time to remember how to shade after not doing it for several months but I'm back into the swing of things for sure. And holy fuck I finally started using the fill tool when coloring after for some reason avoiding it for so long and that makes things so much easier and quicker. I think it's insane that I wasn't using it before. It makes things so much less tedious.

So far I've been able to get 50 of t...

Now all that's left for me to do for this chapter is color and shade all ~160 of them, insert the writing into the game and make a few changes to the game itself.

Coloring and shading will take the longest out of what I have left. It's needless to say tha...
