Today we’re full of bittersweet emotion, as we release the final planned update for Kinder World: Cozy Plants - and it’s a meaningful one.
Thanks to the care and feedback from our wonderful players, this update brings a beautifully improved watering experience with speed customization so it suits your own style. We also hope you enjoy caring for your plants inside your very own rooms, and every player will find a special thank-you note with 500 Dog Treats waiting in their mailbox today.
After a lot of difficult navigation, we’ve made the hard decision to end active development on Kinder World: Cozy Plants. The reason is primarily because we haven’t been able to attract enough new players for this particular game to be financially viable. This decision was not made lightly. Since we began this journey back in late 2020, Kinder World has meant so much to us - it carried our founding team through long COVID lockdowns, connected us with many incredible teammates over the years, and grew into a gentle place that over 2.5 million players have touched across the world.
Today, we are a much smaller team and facing a very difficult environment and market. Guided by our values, we’ve decided to keep paying the server costs so Kinder World: Cozy Plants will still be available to play, but our limited resources and daily development must focus on new opportunities now.
This means that level 26 is now the final player level available in Kinder World: Cozy Plants. You won’t lose any items, plants, decorations etc that you own, and you won’t lose any data or progress with this final update. Unfortunately this means that there is no support available if you encounter bugs or account problems in future. We will respond to all current support tickets for player issues to make sure they have this information directly, but we cannot provide more support help in future.
This has been a very difficult time to navigate, and we’re so thankful for the understanding and patience of our players as we’ve tried many other avenues. Creating Kinder World for several years has been our dream come true as game developers, and changed our lives forever. We’re endlessly proud of everyone that has worked with us to create this game world, and the kindness, creativity, and community that have flourished around it.
Though this chapter of active development is coming to a close, Kinder World: Cozy Plants isn’t disappearing, and a new chapter is already underway. Our small team is hard at work on a new game world that is very different, yet reflects similar values around self care - one that we can’t wait to share more about soon!
Our full news post answers questions you may have about this transition, but for now, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Thank you so much for caring for your plants, your hearts, and one another. You’ve made creating Kinder World, Samy and their friends a truly special and life-changing experience.
With love,
Lauren & Christina, with the Kinder World Team 🌱💗
