Milkweed plants released. Sandbox mode gets new content!
Huge, tall Milkweed plants have arrived. Apart from their dazzling flowers, they add great verticality to DoN's landscape; it takes a creature almost a minute to climb from base to the apex of a milkweed, that's how huge they are in-game!
A Milkweed Trip
Monarch Caterpillars now spawn on Milkweed leaves (as they should). The view from up there is lovely and caterpillar gameplay now benefits from the Milkweed's morphology: you now need to travel along the woody stems of the Milkweed from leaf to leaf, something that was missing in the previous caterpillar gameplay.
You can now plant caterpillar eggs, 5th Instar caterpillars, adult Monarchs in the Sandbox. It's quite amusing peppering the map with caterpillars and watching them amble towards the nearest Milkweed :)
New Fauna Options You can now also plant mature versions of Milkweed plants/Orange Lilies/Knapweed/Fern straight away to quickly fill a landscape. You can still plant saplings and watch them grow like before too.
New Flora Options Paint-brush mode for quickly placing items onto the map is coming soon.
A video overview will be shared tomorrow so we can take a closer look at the Milkweed patch, there's a lot of improvements across the board gone into this build. ~~~ Some major announcements on new content will also be shared in the next couple of days, keep your eyes peeled :)
With ❤, Venugopalan Sreedharan ~~~ I leave you with more Milkweed pics!

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.
