The popular Roblox game Grow a Garden, which became a hit shortly after its launch in late March, has just received a significant new update. Players can now cook the vegetables they harvest and earn valuable rewards for their culinary efforts.
A central feature of this new update is the introduction of Chris P, a literal pig character who runs his own kitchen. Chris P will signal his current cravings, which can range from various sweets to pizza. Successfully fulfilling his orders will grant players an assortment of new seeds, useful gear, and exclusive in-game pets.
Among the newly added seeds are familiar items like onions and jalapeños, alongside more exotic options such as “crown melon” and “tacofern.” The game`s trading system has also undergone a crucial overhaul. To prevent instances of fraud, where players would disconnect before completing their end of a trade, a new requirement has been implemented: players must now obtain a trade ticket from the gear shop to finalize any transaction.
Earlier this summer, Grow a Garden achieved remarkable milestones in player engagement, reaching 5 million concurrent players. By July, this number had surged even higher, nearing an impressive 12 million concurrent players. The game was originally created by an anonymous teenage Roblox user, whose identity remains undisclosed. However, the ongoing development and management of game updates are now handled by the studio Splitting Point.
The overwhelming success of Grow a Garden serves as a compelling demonstration of Roblox Corporation`s ambitious plans for its platform. At the 2024 Roblox Developers Conference, the company unveiled a new revenue-sharing program designed to incentivize and reward developers who create premium content and experiences using Roblox`s creation tools. To date, Grow a Garden stands out as arguably the most popular fan-made game on the entire Roblox platform.
