The Bonsai Diary, Repotted
In honor of World Bonsai Day, I'm excited to release the major update to The Bonsai Diary I promised a few months ago. Read the full description of what's changed; here's the highlights:
- A new layout that goes "front to back," Western-style, with the page in portrait rather than landscape orientation. I think this approach will be more usable for most people.
- New artwork
- Instructions to extend play beyond the book's pages
While I'm really excited about these major upgrades, I also know that printing and assembling a book -- especially one that specifically requires double-sided pages -- is a barrier for a lot of people. So I'm finally gearing up to run a Kickstarter to fund a print run of the game.
Sign up to get notified when the campaign launches.

Finally, in honor of World Bonsai Day and the new edition, I've put The Bonsai Diary on sale here on Itch for half off for the next week. If Kickstarting a physical book isn't for you, consider buying a digital copy of this latest version.
