Really cool cosy game 🌳

Made my dream treehouse in my upcoming game 🌞

Treeplanter is all about piecing together a cozy landscape branch by branch with a fun Lego-like design 🌳

I’m making a game where you can design a variety of landscapes while helping to restore real life nature too!

Would you camp at these ancient ruins? ⛺

How does this work?

Henry Driver @henrydriver.bsky.social · Aug 11

I’m making a game about creating your own cozy woodland sanctuary 🌳

And nothing says cozy quite like a (safe!) campfire with marshmallows ⛺

Can’t believe my little game is at 6,320 wishlists 🤯 Thank you! Me and Polly are pretty chuffed 🐕

If those wishlists become purchases then that will be 6,320 REAL TREES that we will both be planting by hand (paw?)!!!

Wishlist for more trees! 🔗 store.steampowered.com/app/3531490/...

We made some videogames which are on sale on steam right now - including in a bundle!

Hollow Ponds @hollowponds.bsky.social · Jul 2

You can buy all of our games for 40% off with the Hollow Ponds Collection as part of the Steam Summer Sale.

But "wait" I hear you cry, "what games are in this bundle?"

Well let me tell you!

store.steampowered.com/bundle/42256...

A screenshot from Wilmot Works It Out with art by Richard Hogg. Wilmot is shown in the middle of lots of jigsaw puzzle pieces. He is looking at a piece that is mostly clouds. The puzzle is of clouds, flowers and a butterfly.

A screenshot from the videogame Flock with art direction by Richard Hogg. The screenshot shows a player character flying through a pine forest late at night on their bird, they are followed by a large flock of creatures who are glowing likes fireflies, their pink light is lighting up the forest.

A screenshot from Loot Rascals by Hollow Ponds with art by Davey Swatpaz. The player character and their G.E.N.I.E. sidekick stand in the dome area of the game where they can heal or send and receive cards via two strange machines. There is also a hand puppet sideshow where a giant pink alien is performing a show with his one giant hand being all the characters in the puppet show.

A screenshot from I Am Dead with art direction by Richard Hogg. A diorama showing a selection of hand carved wooden birds on display in a shop. There are lots of different types of birds arranged on the wooden shelves.

Why make a game?

Treeplanter will help support our tree planting efforts, and it will hopefully help celebrate the beauty that can be found in nature 💚
