About
Relax, potter, and build in Jade Spring, a small Guild Wars 2 decorating and homesteading fan game featuring entirely hand-made assets and items. Tend your garden as a Xunlai jade bot, clearing weeds and pests, dispelling Dragonvoid blights, and furnishing your plot with architecture, flora, furniture, and ornaments from across Tyria!
Engage in mini-games to spruce up your plot, clearing out bugs, invasive plants, and leftover strands of Dragonvoid. Collect Karma from each task to spend on permanent improvements to your gardening and decorating abilities!
Personalise your space using robust tools which let you easily move, rotate, scale, snap, and clear items. Acquire enough Karma to unlock fancy decorations, as well as utilities which allow you to change the time of day, clear the map to start fresh, and fine-tune your environment to suit your creativity. Use design templates to freely rotate between custom designs, and share them with fellow Jade Spring players.
Jade Spring is an independent developer’s love letter to Cantha and to Guild Wars 2 in general, featuring hand-made assets, art, models, animations, and music directly inspired by the worlds of Tyria, and filled with small tributes and references.

Where to Begin... TL;DR: The game really is what it says it is: a calming, relaxing, beautiful love letter to ArenaNet and Guild Wars. From the gameplay to the amazing music, the game looks, feels, and sounds like love and appreciation. Anyone who enjoys sandbox building games should definitely give it a try. The Main Thing: Decoration I really enjoy the decoration systempresent in Jade Springs. It's simple, yet complete, it has all the features you'd hope for, packed into a small and easy-to-read UI. There's no need for lots of key binds to determine the axis you'll move along or whether you'll scale, rotate, or move an item. Everything is right there on the screen with gizmos, making decorating intuitive and as simple as possible. That said, I do think the scale gizmo could use a color pass. Being white/gray made me lose track of it a few times. Also, deleting decorations could really use a confirmation prompt... I may have accidentally deleted a door while trying to delete a pillar. 😅 The multiple selection and copy commands are also amazing to have. I can think of so many times I needed tools like these in other games, and it's great to have them here. The freedom also so refreshing, being able to place decorations in any way, at any size, for any purpose, wherever I want is something more games should just allow you to do. Gameplay-wise, it feels awesome. Moving around, going up and down, it's all very smooth and simple. The mini-games are straightforward, not particularly challenging, and the attenuator sounds are amazing. It's all very relaxing. Time passes without you noticing... maybe two hours or more >.> The characters are really cute. Your little drone and the way they jiggle around are heart-melting, especially after you receive your gift — cuteness overload. The little golems that follow you after acquiring the dispersion flux are beautifully designed, and I love their little expression bubbles. Ratchet is fantastic. The design, the little mannerisms, the glitchy way of talking — I could somehow hear them in my head, and I loved it. Graphically, this game is beautiful. The colors, the lighting, the attention to detail in both characters and decorations. Sometimes it's hard to believe this was made from scratch and not just taken from Guild Wars. You can see, feel, and hear the love poured into this game. The Fog of War can be a little harsh sometimes, and the draw distance can betray you when trying to take screenshots from far away, but none of that detracts from the sheer beauty you can capture when you get close and personal with your creations. The game both looks and feels like Guild Wars, which is incredibly lovable. The music in this game is absolutely gorgeous. Relaxing, calming, and elevateseverything the game has to offer. It perfectly ties this amazing gift together with the prettiest of bows. Honestly, the music might be the best part for me. (Sorry, I had to play muted for a while — heart melts, tears flow.) Overall, the game is exactly what it says it is: a love letter. You can feel it was made with passion. It delivers everything it promises, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. P.S. A few decorations based on the game’s classes would be fun! 😉

I'm not the best at putting things into words but I LOVE this game. When I first approached it, I thought it would be a bit similar to how I feel about homesteading in the source material, Guild Wars 2- overwhelming and hard to approach. However! Upon playing the game, I feel the complete opposite! I love the way things are laid out visually and allow for adjusting and previewing. You can tell that all the assets are made with love and care and I think that really shows in how the game plays. Besides just game play, the music is absolutely wonderful and provides a nice background to listen to as well as being part of the things one has to solve is also very interesting! I'm absolutely honored to have gotten to play this game and be apart of it's development and I can't wait to see it grow.
This is literally the greatest thing to happen to the Guild Wars 2 Community since BlishHud. I seriously mean that. Thank you so much for investing your own time into making something we can use as a simulator of sorts. I can't wait to see the finished product and the updates a long the way. Love: Guild Wars 2 themed -Jade Bot Main Character -Animated Dialogues -Free Decorations -Beautiful music -Incredible design -The (I think custom) assets are super cool too! -PLACEABLE LIGHT RAYS?! -Cute Jade Bot noises -PLACEABLE BEES! Dislikes: Not so many decorations yet Locked Decorations Small Area to work with Not enough land Strafe Keys should be Q and E instead of Up and Down movement Movement should be C and V
Full disclosure, I helped work on this game! You can check the main menu credits tab for that info. That said, my honest review: I do genuinely love and enjoy Jade Spring. It's a fun stim toy that you can play around in for hours with no stress. Even with the currently limited decorations (I am writing this during beta) I still have had such a good time just vibing. Sometimes I clear the garden and zoom all the way in to speed around the little map for fun (pro tip, hold Shift to sprint. I used this a lot during testing!) I have a bias, of course, but I stand by how I feel. I'd even argue that you hardly need to know anything about GW2 to enjoy this fan game. The story doesn't hinge on your understanding of the lore, and anything that does actually reference GW2 happenings is more of an Easter egg for other fans. PROS: - you're a cute lil jadebot - cozy vibes - short story and then free reign forever - ability to share your save with others - jumping puzzles (toggle gravity for your jadebot) - ALL HANDMADE ASSETS, music included - clear, obvious love for the source material, Guild Wars 2 CONS: (written during beta, many things may change) - small text which can be hard to read - some monitors, like mine, might see more of the noise/light border around the edges of the gameplay area. It can be kind of distracting when looking at bright spots, like over the ocean towards the sun. - placeable bees but no cats, which is a guild wars crime
Rahatlayın, çömlek yapın ve küçük bir Guild Wars 2 dekorasyon ve çiftlik kurma hayranı oyunu olan Jade Spring'de inşa edin.
I adore this game, if you just want a short game with some really well made handmade assets and a love letter to guild wars 2, definitely poke around this. My only complaint is that there is no hotkeys for duplicating and general rotation for users more comfortable for building-style games like this (ctrl d, r+scroll, etc...)
Парни выручайте, не хватает 7000 очков для профиля Dying Light, закидайте наградами пожалуйста.
Игра 'Jade Spring' – это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре стратегий. Она подкупает своей медитативной атмосферой и красивой, спокойной графикой. Сама концепция – строительство и развитие чайной плантации, – очень оригинальна и расслабляет. Игровой процесс неспешный, но затягивающий. Важно умело управлять ресурсами, правильно размещать строения, учитывая ландшафт и доступность воды. Элементы менеджмента довольно глубокие, но интуитивно понятны. Порадовало, что игра не наказывает за ошибки, а позволяет экспериментировать и находить оптимальные решения. Особое удовольствие доставляет наблюдение за тем, как растёт и развивается твоя плантация, как собирается урожай и производятся разные сорта чая. Легкий, ненавязчивый саундтрек идеально дополняет атмосферу умиротворения. Небольшим минусом могу назвать отсутствие динамичного развития событий. Игра больше подойдет тем, кто ищет спокойный и расслабляющий опыт, нежели хардкорный стратегический вызов. Однако, если вам нравятся игры вроде "Townscaper" или "Dorfromantik", то "Jade Spring" точно придется вам по вкусу. Рекомендую!
Great music, quite a variety of items/decorations, visuals look great both in day/night Great dialogue and overall game world aesthetic Editor options are extensive Would benefit from a secondary camera option, cursor locked in Overall definitely a recommend
