Botany Quest

Want to make a name for yourself as a botanist? Lead the research of undiscovered plants on another planet. As the botanist of this expedition, you get to do fieldwork on the newly discovered planet, Atlas Alta. Be one of the first to explore this new world. Learn about its plant life. But beware—you don’t know which plants have more malicious intentions.

This is an exploratory adventure game where the player plays as a botanist exploring and researching the plant life on a newly discovered planet, Atlas Alta. The player’s discoveries will help the human settlement on this planet grow and prosper as well as protect it from the malevolent forces present. As the player learns more, they will uncover what happened to the people who used to live on this planet and maybe find a way to keep the human settlement from suffering the same fate.

About This Prototype: This prototype showcases what level in the game would look like and how it would play as well as what the Field Journal (inventory) will look like. I hit some complications with setting up the Journal and the plant images don’t show up in the slots for them within the journal. Future prototypes of this project would include other features listed in the design document: a light crafting system, reactions, non-player characters and a hub-world type space.

Controls:

A, S, W, D - movement

Q - View Journal (inventory)
