[h3][b]Hi Sproutling fans![/b][/h3]
How’s everyone Christmas? 2024 will soon be over and Green Again surely had an amazing and eventful year. Normally, we do a general monthly wrap-up once…well, every month. But this is the end of the year so instead, let’s look back at what we’ve accomplished throughout 2024!
[h2]Updates in 2024![/h2]
2024 has been a year of many updates and a lot of new content for Green Again. Here’s a rundown of the notable changes this year:

[*]And of course, [b]numerous optimizations and fixes[/b] to make Green Again an even better colony building experience.
[/list]
Green Again already looks so different in just a year’s time. We really can’t wait to show you what’s to come in 2025. In [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2718320/view/4469352795967848549?l=english]one of our previous community round-ups[/url], Green Again’s solo dev Máté has already mentioned some of his future plans for the game. ICYMI, here’s a quick summary:
[list]
[*]New building health system – enables more interactions with buildings such as damage and repairs
[*]Forge Zone – a new biome that will contain more industrial elements
[*]A more elaborate tech tree – assist Sproutlings against challenges both old and new
[/list]
[h2]New Key Art![/h2]

With the in-game art refresh, we feel it would be most appropriate to update our key art as well for a better representation of our Sproutling’s new look. So in July, we got this colourful art to showcase not only the new Sproutlings, but also our buildings and farms.
[h2]Events we joined![/h2]
Sproutlings are hard at work this year to bring Green Again to a wider audience across different events, both virtual and physical.

This April, Sproutlings went to London for the WASD convention. It was incredibly fun to see players trying out Green Again in person and giving us plenty of helpful feedback. We gave away tons of Sproutling merch too!

Steam’s Next Fest in June was the perfect timing to showcase our demo update and Sproutling art refresh. You can also check out our YouTube channel for a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7oArC3Ywf4]developer interview[/url] with Máté for our Next Fest updates.

There are other events that we joined like Earth Appreciation Fest and Games for Waves, and it has been a great pleasure for us to showcase Green Again alongside so many fun and unique titles. Now that our Sproutlings are well-rested after the holidays, they are ready to meet everyone in more new events in 2025!
And that’s a wrap for Green Again. What an amazing 2024! And we definitely couldn’t have done it without all of your support. Every demo download, every piece of feedback, every wishlist… they are all immense encouragement for us to keep expanding and improving our indie colony builder. Thank you for taking the time to play and wishlist Green Again, and please look forward to more new content for our game in 2025.
