Goobie Garden Reveal + Timeline - From Athenian Rhapsody LLC

Goobie Garden began as a goofy livestream project from Athenian Rhapsody creator Nico - but of course, in true Athenian Rhapsody fashion, it spiraled into a much larger project...

 
In this game, you’ll hatch strange little Goobies, each with unique names, elemental typings, jobs, and personalities. Level them up by punching them (lovingly), feeding them EXP food, and answering weird questions that shape their branching evolutions.

 
Thunder Goober, the Athenian Rhapsody mascot, gives you three goals:
 
  • Complete your Goobiedex, there are LOTS of Goobies to discover and even more to come over time...
  • Evolve your Goobies to their final forms by socializing with them and growing your friendships with them.
  • Dominate the PvP ladder for monthly rewards in the chaotic auto battling system. All Goobies have their own unique battle abilities... Clever players will arrange a team that synergizes well!
 
Goobie Garden is a live service, free to play game with content changing every month. Your realm changes alongside the real-life seasons, too. That means new Goobies, decorations for your realm, customizations for your Goobies like hats and other effects, and even Legendary Goobies constantly cycling!

 
Quote from Nico Papalia, owner of Athenian Rhapsody LLC: "I'm so excited about Goobie Garden... every time I post about it the Rhapsodogs (fans of Athenian Rhapsody) go crazy. This is really going to tie the whole Athenian Rhapsody IP together like I originally envisioned, and bring even more value to the collectible Rhapsodies from Athenian Rhapsody and the upcoming Tales of Tuscany!"

More information on the game + Timeline (the good stuff)

 
Athenian Rhapsody featured an Event system inspired by Pokémon Emerald, designed to recapture the magic of unlocking special content in a beloved RPG. It worked great and created some awesome moments - but creator Nico saw the potential to push it further with a true live-service game.

 
After Athenian Rhapsody’s breakout success on iOS, receiving an Editor’s Note and major App Store placements purely due to Apple's love for the game, creating a live service game felt like the natural next step. Plus, the Athenian Rhapsody IP has built a strong online following, especially among young fans on TikTok who eagerly await updates.

 
Athenian Rhapsody and the upcoming Tales of Tuscany also contain collectible postcards which players receive after the end of every playthrough called Rhapsodies. They are completely unique and generated by their choices in game that they can trade internationally with anyone in the world...

 
It's planned to update Goobie Garden with the ability to send Rhapsodies from both Athenian Rhapsody and the upcoming Tales of Tuscany in order to receive exclusive Goobies, decorations, customizations, and more. This gives player's Rhapsodies more value outside of the original RPG, and makes these special collectibles even more valuable - which was the original goal of Athenian Rhapsody!
