Drunk On Nectar is a Nature Sandbox game about animals, plants and ecology. Multiple game-modes allow you to either play as a creature yourself, simulate ecosystems or create scenarios of your own.
DoN aims to provide the most comprehensive nature experience gaming has ever seen. To this end, the game has been built at invertebrate-scale (a micro world) for an unprecedented level of detail. Plants in DoN are not flat props but living, growing entities that flower, pollinate and propagate across seasons like real plants. Finally, each species has unique gameplay depending on its morphology.
The current release features four invertebrate species: Jumping Spider (Phidippus Regius), Butterfly (Viceroy), Dragonfly (Common Hawker) and a Bee (Solitary) along with three flowering plants: Orange Lily, Greater Knapweed, Imperata Cylindrica (Grass) and a non-flowering plant: Fern. Trees and other flora are also featured but with only limited simulation at present.
Additional species of animals, plants and ecological phenomena are planned for addition once the game's EA goals (read above) have been met. You are welcome to vote for a creature or plant you're excited about for addition in the community forums!

While no game can possibly cover all of Nature, Drunk On Nectar is a sincere commitment to go as far as one possibly can.

[Build v1.3] Monarch Caterpillar RELEASED!
https://youtu.be/nfaZBQ2fP6k
If you already have the game please consider recommending the game via a Steam review, that's one more way to support the game's growth!
--
Soon after: mating of male and female butterflies, courtship rituals, laying of eggs for the next generation to thrive, the whole thing!
~~~
2) Milkweed plants are not yet in, will be added in Part II update.
3) Caterpillar eggs are laid on the upside of a leaf to make the camera easier on players.
3) Some A.I. quirks/glitches relating to locomotion are present and known.
~~~
After that, Grasshoppers will probably be taken up next followed by either a few more land creatures OR official multiplayer support. Time will tell :)
For now enjoy the Monarch's foray in DoN's World!
May these beauties prosper in all the worlds they inhabit!

Part II: Mating & Reproduction!
Early next week, the final metamorphosis from a fifth-instar caterpillar to an adult Monarch will be added (it's not there yet in this patch).Soon after: mating of male and female butterflies, courtship rituals, laying of eggs for the next generation to thrive, the whole thing!
~~~
Limitation & Known Issues
1) "Physical Leaf Munching" is no longer "physical". A.I. caterpillar complexity contributed to this. Leaf physics might be reintroduced in the future.2) Milkweed plants are not yet in, will be added in Part II update.
3) Caterpillar eggs are laid on the upside of a leaf to make the camera easier on players.
3) Some A.I. quirks/glitches relating to locomotion are present and known.
~~~
Looking ahead
So Monarch butterflies will be the first species in the game to exhibit a full lifecycle after the Part II update is rolled out.After that, Grasshoppers will probably be taken up next followed by either a few more land creatures OR official multiplayer support. Time will tell :)
For now enjoy the Monarch's foray in DoN's World!
May these beauties prosper in all the worlds they inhabit!
