So, as is the case with nearly everything I can think of, there is some really great, unique and beautiful things in Drunk on Nectar and somethings that still need a bit of work, but that’s what Early Access and beta testing is for after all.
There is also the sandbox part of the game where you don’t play any of the insects but get to add the flora and fauna to one of several environments and see how they grow and react to each other.
Flying around the beautiful tiny world as a bee using my perception skills to find nectar, was fun and kinda peaceful. So, I switched to the bee and I found things a lot easier. I certainly learned that with the spider, hunting is actually quite a difficult thing and moving around the 3d environment can take a little practice. It’s just with so many keyboard commands to remember it can be a challenge. This is certainly one the hardest parts of Drunk on Nectar, second only to the fairly complicated control system. 90% of what insects do is to fly or crawl around and try to stay well fed. It turns out that insects need to eat a lot, and I mean A LOT. Or maybe I should say if you make it through the seasons. At this stage you’re not overburdened with different plants and animals but the ones you do have, feel full of life and they move and change as you make it through the seasons. So you have to hunt for your food and avoid predators, as well taking care of the important stuff like self-grooming on a spider level of course.įirst thing to note is that the micro universe is beautiful. The premise is, as you can image to survive as an insect.
I figured they were probably the coolest of all the insects you get to play. Venugopalan was kind enough to let have a preview peak at the Steam Early Access release of Drunk on Nectar. But other species are planned for the future, and you can even vote for a species you want to see included in the community forums. Each insect has its own style of gameplay, with the aim of making each different type of insect look and feel completely different.Ĭurrently the release has four insects, Jumping Spider, Viceroy Butterfly, dragonfly and a bee along with three flowering plants: Orange Lily, Greater Knapweed, Grass and a Fern. The plants move, grow, pollinate and propagate as the seasons pass within the game. The aim of Drunk on Nectar is to offer a detailed and comprehensive nature experience for the player.
