Cloud Gardens

Cloud Gardens launched into Early Access in 2020 and graduated to its full 1.0 release on September 1, 2021. During Early Access, the developer shipped four major content updates adding new chapters, plants, items, and sandbox tools. After the 1.0 launch, post-release updates were limited to maintenance patches and minor quality-of-life improvements — no new chapters, major content drops, or DLC were released. The most significant recent signal comes from a June 8, 2025 post by the developer (Thomas), in which he announced his next game, GARBAGE COUNTRY, and directed players there for future development updates. While he did not explicitly say Cloud Gardens is finished, announcing a new project and redirecting the community to follow that game strongly signals that active development on Cloud Gardens has concluded. The most recent Cloud Gardens update was a patch on October 7, 2025 (version 1.2.6), which fixed a Unity security vulnerability and included a small visual improvement. This is maintenance work, not new content. There is no DLC listed on the store, no announced future content, and no post-launch content cadence beyond the Early Access development period itself. The game launched as a complete 1.0 package on September 1, 2021, with all content from the Early Access development cycle included. Post-launch updates have been purely maintenance-oriented. The developer has moved on to a new project.
