Forbidden features
Someone has created some forbidden features for our game (it’s us, we did it). They are illegal, so DO NOT share this post, unless you want to seem really cool to all your friends.
Here’s a couple of sneaky peeks:
HERETICAL MERGING
The worm-creature grants you the power of the forbidden Ritual of Merging. Merge several plants into one to create more powerful plants.
It breaks down the natural structure of cells. Ignore the screams - they are at subhuman hearing levels anyway.
GAMBLING - DICE
The wizard has something new in his store for you: it’s a D20. But it’s magical. Roll it, and nearby plants spawn golden fruit that are extra valuable. Higher numbers = more plants reached. Roll a natural twenty for the BIG JACKPOT!!
Maybe you can spot a couple of other new things in this gif…
We’ve been cooking muuuuch more which we will be sharing in the coming weeks in illegal insider trading posts like this… Follow the game or (even better) our developer account to get the news directly via Steam leading up to launch.
Playtesters!
We have the full game playable from beginning to end verrrry soon, so we are looking for generous people who would like to try the full game and give feedback. You must:
- Play the full game (playtime currently unknown, but more than 4 hours, so you’ll need to play it over multiple sessions)
- Write down your thoughts and observations - criticisms, praise, bugs, random thoughts, etc. during or after playing.
- Stomach some unpolished parts, maybe missing assets, maybe bugs, maybe broken balancing. That’s why you’re here: to help us find them!
You can, if you are able (these are optional, but neat for us):
- Record your screen while playing and send over the recording
- Record yourself speaking
You will receive a key for the game that can also be used for the fully balanced, polished game!
