Planetary Garden

How to play:

- Play HTML5 build (requires latest Chrome or Firefox)
- Download from https://joat.itch.io/planetary-garden (Windows build)
- Repopulate a barren planet (Earth?) with life by seeding new plants
- When the time is right, enlist animals to help automate the process (one of them knows an ancient secret).
- Eventually other things happen. No spoilers.

Notes:

- Progress is saved between sessions, but time does not advance while the application is closed. Keep it open to continue amassing life. The HTML5 version does not save progress yet, sorry about that.

About:

- Made for LD38, created under the compo rules (worked alone, created all new assets, finished within 48 hours of starting). However, I got a late start (3 PM Sat) and did not submit in time for the official deadline, so it's technically a jam entry.
- Source code and assets are included (download from https://joat.itch.io/planetary-garden, made with Unreal Engine 4.15). Unless otherwise noted, assets created for the compo are placed under a CC0 license and game code under a MIT license.
- Blog Post (contains a bit more info about my thought process and the watercolor style)
