Hey #screenshotsaturday!

Nectarmancer is an acrobatic "gardenvania" where you use seeds as ammo or plant them into ammo factories. You do freaky things with genetics.

I spent some time yesterday making this new trait that turns your seeds into shotguns.

Help a dev (me&zac) and wishlist on Steam!

In hindsight, a "SHOTGUN PLANT" was a great idea.

LEEEEEEGS but the plant lights up

LEEEEEEEGS

It's really wild to me how lively this giant enemy is when it only has static sprites.

We spent this week playing with new combat ideas in Nectarmancer. Really big enemies that make huge explosions and do zone control against the player.

You can wishlist Nectarmancer on steam and set a Tesla on fire whenever you feel like it.

The seeds that Aisa shoots really needed bullet trail fx. There, the game is done now.

This week saw the introduction of a growable vine plant in Nectarmancer. Box enemies in! Make a quick escape! Trigger the vines with explosions! Hack its genetics and make it even longer! Live another day!

Hi! My name is Don, I make games at The Beauty Cult, a tiny 2 person team working on Nectarmancer.

There's never been a worse or better time to be making a game like this. Lots of challenges everywhere in the world, but I've never believed in a game project more than this one. Check it out.

Adding really-scary-fast-travel to Nectarmancer. Have fun trusting your atoms to a network of plants that you placed yourself.... suckers.

Been messing around with extremely juicy interactions for... paying taxes.

Hi! My name is Don, I'm working on Nectarmancer, a high-concept, high-action "Gardenvania". It's pretty nice!
