Nature & Life - Drunk On Nectar's v0.5.1 update released!
All player input hints have now been improved - raw text has been replaced with appropriate buttons and icons which are appropriately highlighted. This should make it much easier for new players to learn the game's controls! Additionally, a new high-contrast theme is used for all player hints to make things easier to read.
This is a multi-update effort which aims at delivering maximum immersion to players by minimizing the need for the HUD to the greatest extent possible. Here's what this this update has changed: HUD is hidden when player arrives within strike range of prey (if player has passed all relevant tutorials) HUD is hidden while player interacts with prey. HUD is automatically shown again during critical events such as grappling contests, etc
An actual in-game screenshot - The HUD is automatically hidden during key moments for maximum immersion!
Subsequent updates will bring further improvements under this umbrella, so look forward to a more immersive overall experience of the game! :)
Jumping Spider
Narration avatar restored for providing a more engaging experience for players!
That's it for this update, but you can look forward to a new release every weekend for DoN from now on! The game is now being improved around the clock allowing this shift to a weekly release cycle. The next update will be out on 26th May 2023 and is sure to bring more improvements across the board to DoN's unique Nature World! Thanks a lot for reading :)

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.
