'Grow Wild' Catches Bugs, Discovers Plants, and Creates Biomes Grow Wild is a cozy sandbox style game where you can discover new plants, find bugs, and watch the world change around you.

I wrote about the cozy, plant-related game Grow Wild by @spectrum48.bsky.social for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social, after seeing it at @developconference.com: indiegamesplus.com/grow-wild-pr...

If you’re at Develop : Brighton this week and like wildlife, or just need some time out to relax, then come and play Grow Wild for a bit 🌳🦊🐛🦋

Try and find all the demo species (there are field voles and white-lipped snails 🐌 ) and collect some IRL species cards too!

When you’re putting all your energy, time, and money into making a game, things like this make it a little easier to keep going 😊

To celebrate I’ve added a Common Rough Woodlouse to the game – if you’re at @developconference.com see if you can find one… (they have a surprising amount of legs)

I’ve been going to Develop Conference Brighton since 2017, submitted at least 4 games into the Indie Showcase comp… and… finally had a game selected - Grow Wild!🌳🦊🐛🦋

It's invaluable to get people testing at all stages of game development - especially people you don't know; they will do and say some pretty odd and wonderfully unexpected things 😊🤬🫠

IMPACT! 2025 @ashleygwinnell.bsky.social was good fun a few weeks ago. It’s the first time 🌳🦋🦊 Grow Wild has been shown in public for a long time – and a lot has changed – so it was brilliant (and a relief) to see almost everyone play for 10-20 mins.
