Butterfly Garden is a life simulation game by independent developer Autonomous Productions, revolving around the raising and collecting of butterflies. Initially for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, the developers have promised there will be a PC version. The game revolves around breeding different butterflies via genetic selection, putting the player in the role of a butterfly, and promises a robust online component, allowing users via their online service (e.g. Xbox Live) to visit other gardens and share rare genes.
The game will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10 USD).
A "soft", stripped down version of Butterfly Garden was submitted to the 2007 "Dream, Build, Play" XNA Contest, but failed to be a finalist.
Famous quotes containing the word garden:
“Or of the garden where we first mislaid
Simplicity of wish and will, forgetting
Out of what cognate splendor all things came
To take their scattering names;”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
