Desert Flower is a creative, two-player co-op game where players use plant-based tools to explore and transform a dying world.
The game combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and gardening, allowing players to cultivate unique gardens and overcome challenges with each character’s special abilities.
Players gain new seeds and abilities throughout the campaign, enabling creative problem-solving and endless experimentation.
The game emphasizes replayability through sandbox environments and user-generated content, with random elements ensuring each playthrough feels unique and engaging.
In 2022, Linda Inghammar and Sophie Van, who had collaborated at various studios for almost a decade, came together to form Studio Northshade. Their shared vision for the game studio focused on emphasizing team well-being and developing a game rooted in creativity and teamwork.
The idea of Desert Flower was born shortly thereafter, and the team quickly grew explosively. With team members intrigued by both the game idea, as well as the company foundation; that while game development is a passion for us, it is also a job, and it is important to have a healthy work life balance.
Here at Studio Northshade, although the company itself is young, our team members bring a wealth of experience to everything they do, as our developers come from both major AAA titles as well as fresh indie games.
Meet the dedicated team behind our latest project, Desert Flower, who are putting their efforts into bringing this game to life!
Our team members have extensive experience in all aspects of game development, ranging from AAA blockbusters to independent undertakings. Our producers, programmers, artists, and musicians have helped ship multiple projects by bringing comprehensive expertise in their respective fields.
At Studio Northshade, we prioritize collaboration and communication as fundamental pillars of our work. We believe in allowing our experts to excel in their respective areas, while also pushing the limits through asking questions and listening attentively to feedback.
