New Content: Educational Tidbits, Major Improvements to Jumping Spider Lifecycle
Educational tidbits about Jumping Spider mating and anatomy have been added with this update. Here's a quick look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h81cclctUU4
Watch the video above for more!
If you had any issues completing the Jumping Spider lifecycle (and reaching Mating!) at all, do try again! A large number of rebalancing changes aimed at making the Jumping Spider lifecycle much easier to complete were added with this update. More additions are planned too, and will be based on your valuable feedback. Notable mentions:
Several important fixes were released spanning Gen 1, Gen 2 (and Gen 3!)
A new gameplay video series featuring Generation 2's "Free Roaming" - i.e. Sandbox Survival and Emergent gameplay, has been released! Do take a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjMXWKrdcyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oljv_49eltA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAWGkwPx7m0
An unscripted encounter from Gen 2's "Sandbox Survival"
Inspired by the Jumping Spider's Generation 2 gameplay, the current plan is to adopt this model for all species in the roster as the new Lifecycles format. In this new format, "Generation 1" will feature Quests, Educational narration and Linear paths to help new players and establish a baseline, while "Generation 2" will feature a pure Sandbox Survival experience with emergent gameplay and completely unscripted, non-linear experiences. The Grasshopper's Lifecycle will adopt this model at some point; quests and narration suitable for this species will be added to Gen 1 while Gen 2 will continue to offer pure unscripted sandbox action. Your thoughts / feedback on this subject are very greatly welcomed! :)

Rebalancing: Completing Spider Lifecycle Made Easier
If you had any issues completing the Jumping Spider lifecycle (and reaching Mating!) at all, do try again! A large number of rebalancing changes aimed at making the Jumping Spider lifecycle much easier to complete were added with this update. More additions are planned too, and will be based on your valuable feedback. Notable mentions:
- Food Intake bonus of 25% for Players.
- Major bugfixes to scripted "Quest predators" to ensure they do not return to harass players.
- Player walk speed automatically reduced if a leaf has silk tent on it.
Major bugfixes
Several important fixes were released spanning Gen 1, Gen 2 (and Gen 3!)
- Various performance issues addressed across the board relating to AI population and their CPU usage. Benefits are mostly clearly perceived in Gen 2 but applies to the entire game and all other species too!
- "Gen 3" Pollen Grains and Beltian Bodies now correctly spawn upon birth.
- Chem trails of Gen 2 sandbox fauna no longer show up during Gen 1 gameplay.
- Camera Improvements for interaction with larger predators; more to come along these lines soon.
"Gen 2" Gameplay Series
A new gameplay video series featuring Generation 2's "Free Roaming" - i.e. Sandbox Survival and Emergent gameplay, has been released! Do take a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjMXWKrdcyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oljv_49eltA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAWGkwPx7m0

Gen 2 Sandbox Survival - The Model For The Future
Inspired by the Jumping Spider's Generation 2 gameplay, the current plan is to adopt this model for all species in the roster as the new Lifecycles format. In this new format, "Generation 1" will feature Quests, Educational narration and Linear paths to help new players and establish a baseline, while "Generation 2" will feature a pure Sandbox Survival experience with emergent gameplay and completely unscripted, non-linear experiences.

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.
