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:
“Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.
The sky is a blue gum streaked with rose. The trees are black.
The grackles crack their throats of bone in the smooth air.
Moisture and heat have swollen the garden into a slum of bloom.
Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
