I contract once in a while to artists to create new art. But since this game is mostly self financed with a little bit support from the community this is very irregular work. But feel free to send me a private message with some samples of your work and how much you are charging and I can consider it for future art works.

Hey, I am really sorry. With the latest update the password reset function broke. This should be fixed now and you should be able to reset your password.

Fixed the image issue. Sorry about that. I added an additional change yesterday that broke it.

As for hiring someone. I am gonna be honest: Unless the game somehow starts making at least ~1000USD/month (and to put it into perspective right now the game generates around ~10-15USD/month) I will not be able to hire someone to ether keep the wiki up to date nor do a full proof read through everything (including on an ongoing effort for new plants).

So given that this project at the moment is run just by me I will have to rely on volunteers within the community to help with collecting ideas for improvements as well as fixing mistakes in the texts.

To put some of your concerns to rest: the updates teased in the update post is completely unrelated.

As for the wiki it is fully community driven and if there are mistakes and errors everyone is welcome to contribute (it is on purpose not managed by me other then running the software).

As for general grammatical errors and bugs: Please report them in the correct thread. It is impossible for a single person (me) to go through everything in both languages and ensure everything is 100% correct. So I heavily rely on the community to point things out and then apply them.

As for support: I am always super happy for anyone supporting the game. The truth of the matter is even with the regular supporters at the moment I pay probably 90% out of pocket for this game.

But yeah if you have additional ideas for new mini games, new systems or polish to existing systems please don't hesitate to open a new thread. I am always open for feedback and suggestions.

Happy new year to everyone. A bunch of exciting things are planned for this year. First of all a new update just went live that once again makes sure the code-base follows modern standards and stays safe for everyone. Second I will be cleaning up the user database. Everyone that hasn't logged in for more then 3 years will get a 1 month and a 1 week reminder to login. After that 1 month is up the account will be deleted to free up server resources. Last but not least I am currently considering a new feature that is small and large at the same time. But I won't announce to much yet as it is heavily pending on getting a hold of an artist (the same old game) before I can finalize the plans.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic 2026 and here is to hoping to get a couple of new features out this year!

---------------------------------

Frohes neues Jahr euch allen. Für dieses Jahr sind ein Haufen spannender Dinge geplant. Erstmal ist gerade ein neues Update live gegangen, das mal wieder sicherstellt, dass die Code-Basis modernen Standards entspricht und für alle sicher bleibt. Zweitens werde ich die User-Datenbank aufräumen. Jeder, der sich seit mehr als 3 Jahren nicht mehr eingeloggt hat, bekommt eine Erinnerung einen Monat und eine Woche vorher, sich mal wieder anzumelden. Wenn der Monat rum ist, wird der Account gelöscht, um Server-Ressourcen freizugeben. Zu guter Letzt überlege ich mir gerade ein neues Feature, das gleichzeitig klein und groß ist. Aber ich werde noch nicht zu viel verraten, da es stark davon abhängt, ob ich einen Artist an Land ziehe (das alte Spiel halt), bevor ich die Pläne finalisieren kann.

Hoffe, ihr habt alle ein fantastisches 2026 und auf dass wir dieses Jahr ein paar neue Features raushauen können!

Love the discussions here. Yeah no fixed plan really yet. Just exploring ideas. It could be from just converting existing pages to 3d models. To maybe (ether a mode or sub feature) where you can actually walk around a 2.5D/3D world.

Interesting ideas. But unfortunately not super easy to do. This can very easily lead to copyright complaints. But maybe some game "inspired" plants.

Yes the donations are used to finance new flowers. But to be 100% honest here: I still pay quiet a lot out of pocket for this game. So my thought was maybe trying something new to get some new players interested in the game as well to hopefully get it to be more self financing.

But this is exactly the kind of feedback I am looking for

Hey guys,

I am currently exploring what could be next for this game (no promises) and was thinking what would be kinda exciting. I came up with the following art changes (primarily from 2d to 3d). So please vote what you find interesting to see if it is worth for me to explore more (Please note that most of the examples are currently AI generated. The final product would obviously use a real artist).

Option 1 - Low Poly 3D

Option 2 - Voxel 3D

Option 3 - Old School 2D in 3D

Welcome! Its getting busy here again

Welcome to the game

Yeah the game itself does not care from where users are coming (to visit a plant link) or where the image is embedded. The only thing that is important is that the website lets the users browser load the image directly from the Game website. Some platforms proxy images (in which case the system will not work). But there is nothing that could be done against that unfortunately.

Like the game does not care where the image/link is embedded. So what you are suggesting does already work. But good idea to potential change the wording itself on that page. I'll think a bit about it.

P.s. Welcome to the game

PaintedFence Thank you so much for all the reports. They should be all addressed.

This looks amazing.

Happy holidays to everyone. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that still enjoys the game. Also a super thanks to a couple of you guys who support the game financially on Ko-Fi. Thanks to you guys I was able to continue hire an artist to create once a in a while new flower variants as well as brand new flowers. I hope to be able to continue releasing some new content in the new year. Here is to more Flowergame in 2025.

-----------------------------

Frohe Feiertage an alle. Ich möchte mich bei allen bedanken, die immer noch Freude am Spiel haben. Ein besonderes Dankeschön geht an diejenigen unter euch, die das Spiel finanziell über Ko-Fi unterstützen. Dank euch konnte ich weiterhin eine Künstlerin beauftragen, die ab und zu neue Blumenvarianten sowie komplett neue Blumen erschafft. Ich hoffe, auch im neuen Jahr weiteren neuen Inhalt veröffentlichen zu können. Auf mehr Flowergame in 2025.

Strange. Yeah please report back if it happens again, but on first glance I could not see anything wrong.

Is anyone else experience strange behaviour? I just checked the server and everything is operational. Could it be that by any chance you gave someone a gift link to that missing flower?

Trillian this section is exactly for reporting this type of things. And I am very appreciative of that. For this game to work I need people like you guys that help spot errors and mistakes so we can create the best experience possible for all players.

I just uploaded a new version that fixes all recent reported spelling mistakes. Please keep them coming.

That is a great catch. I will look into this soon.
