Shared Garden Space
The garden is a shared virtual environment where players collaboratively build a persistent space over time. It is designed to feel like a collective effort between players rather than something individually owned.
Key Elements:
- Up to four players contribute to a single garden.
- The lead player is the player who started the garden. Friends can join the shared garden within this four-player limit.
- The space evolves based on all player actions.
- Players can modify the environment at any time.
- Multiple players can interact with the space simultaneously.
Inter-Garden Interaction
Beyond individual gardens, players can engage with a global network of other gardens through limited interactions. These interactions are designed to create a broader sense of connection without being forced or overbearing.
Key Elements:
- Once a plant is fully grown, players can harvest it for seeds and trade those seeds with other gardens once a week.
- These exchanges introduce plants from different regions, gradually increasing plant diversity over time.
Communication
The communication system allows players to stay connected and coordinate within their shared garden space. These interactions are designed to be lightweight and always accessible, mainly in support of casual conversation.
Key Elements:
- Players can chat with all members of their garden at any time through an in-game messaging system.
- Communication is seamlessly integrated directly into the garden experience.
