Dear Wonderful Players of Nature & Life - Drunk On Nectar!

Patch #3 for the Praying Mantis Lifecycles is out!

Bringing Gender selection, Locomotion improvements & lots more, this update is a must-play for every fan of DoN!

What's New

Mantis Male / Female Gender Selection

Players can now choose Gender for the Mantis at the outset.

Similar to other species in the game, the Female's gameplay includes Oviposition, while the male is allowed to proceed directly to Gen 2 after Mating (via the "Skip To End Of Life" option in the Main Menu).

Mantis Locomotion Vastly Improved

Moving around is now much easier!

Large Mantis Instars will now find crossing across leaves easier than before. Getting stuck in mid-air has also been resolved, yielding a far more smoother and reliable overall experience.

These improvements also carry over to the game's other major spectacles, such as the Jumping Spider and Ladybug Lifecycles too!

Do try playing DoN's other spectacles once again if it's been a while since you've played them! :)

Beauty of Vision

Smoother camera for the Praying Mantis Lifecycle makes it possible for players to experience the "Mantis Tree World" with far greater immersion than ever before.

Additionally, zooming for the adult Mantis has also been fixed, enabling players to take in unique vistas and perspectives by zooming out more easily.

Praying Mantis Lifecycles - Generation 2

Gen 2 has been fixed. This was recently broken with a bug that prevented Moulting in Gen 2. Now players can continue from Gen 1 into Gen 2 without issues :)

Lifecycles Presentation

Quest icons have now been added for each Life Goal making it easier for players to relate to pending quests.

Along with new animations for the Life Goals HUD, quest summary has been improved for several quests.

Finally, various minor improvements have also been included, such as better workflow for the Benchmark and Feedback tools.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your interest in this game! :)

All in all, this update is essential for all those who enjoy this game! Be sure to pick it up and try out your favorite game modes / creatures!

~ That's it for this update, but there's always more to come! :)

With Love, Venugopalan Sreedharan (Developer of Nature & Life - Drunk On Nectar)
