The Holiday Update + Supporter Pack

Strange Seed · published 18 Dec 2025, 16:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone! Christmas is near and the Steam Winter Sale is here, with Strange Seed now 20% off. We are also partnering up with Horticular in the Slug Disco Colourful Creature Bundle. If you haven’t already grabbed our game, or if you’re thinking of sending the pink blob out as a present, this is the time!

Now, before we wrap up for the holidays, we have some wonderful news to share:

Supporter Pack

To start off, we are releasing a Supporter Pack with 7 new skins, 5 new accessories and 2 new parts to help you evolve in style. These are completely optional and you don’t need them to play the game. Still, we’d really appreciate it if you’d like to grab some new toys for the holidays and support us!

Evolve with style :)

Game Updates

At the same time, we are adding a series of free updates to upgrade your evolution experience in the base game:

Map

No more getting lost in the wild! This is a new map tool available from the start of the game. You can open it to check your location in an area and help search for secrets. It has icons for major points of interest (bosses, shrines, nests, FAC outposts); the icons only turn on after you've find them in person.

Boss Revives

Want a rematch? You can now revive every boss to fight them again. There won’t be new rewards or anything, but seems like many of you are very eager to go for round 2 just to try out new creature builds.

Farming Points

If you need more biomass and crystals, the Farming Points are where you go. You can farm resources from them, with one giant brain in Volcano and a crystal pillar in the Crystal Cave.

New Skills: Stamina Regen & Damage Reduction

  • Stamina Regen: Continuously regenerates stamina even if you're running/flying. Perhaps some of you might figure out how to sprint towards infinity with this tech.

  • Damage Reduction: Unlike Defense that blocks a flat number of damage, Damage Reduction absorbs a percentage of the incoming damage

Attack Part Scaling

Bigger parts mean bigger attacks! When you scale up a part that has an attack skill, the attack will also scale up in size. Do beware that it is not a 1:1 change though, and the attack area only increases by a certain amount.

Size Point Rebalancing

Some of the size point bonuses felt unimpactful while others were too powerful. That’s why we've changed them around to make the size scaling more balanced.

Hope you enjoy these changes. Once again, thank you for playing Strange Seed and making 2025 such an awesome year for us. We could not have asked for a more passionate and creative community to support our launch and making it as successful as it is.

With the community vote concluded, we are starting to work on the next steps of Strange Seed. Please look forward to what we have in store and in the meantime, follow us on Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and join our Discord to keep an eye on the latest updates! Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! (And don't forget to eat plenty of food like our little pink blob!)
