You are a world-reknowned botanist!

Your dreams are to greenify the world!

No, not that dream. Real dreams.


A relax'n'chill game. Just plant the seeds and watch them grows.

Fill the area in each dream with greenery then go to bed to descend into deeper levels, where the environment are harsher.

Lot of objects are still placeholders due to time pressure. But you can click on some of them for gameplay tips.

Controls

Mainly mouse clicks. Some keyboard hotkeys supported (B,P and H).

This game looks like it has a ton of potential! I think if you're developing it further it would be nice to give more of a ramp up to the amount of information you get. Currently it's really overwhelming with all the stats you get right off the bat. Other than that the game sounds chill, looks nice.

I like this game. Beautiful graphics and nice sounds! I have spent some time in dream one already, but I dont know how I can make progress. I legit spent several minutes planting and harvesting plants, but I am stuck at around 60% Greenification progress... If you can tell me how to progress, I will 100% revisit this game later!

I have been playing this game for around half an hour, and I love it! The music and audio is definitely one of the best things of the game, I could keep haring it for ever! The graphics are awesome, and the fact that you have put effort into making more than 20 different tree designs is incredible. It has some really great effects and I like the fact that you also left there the props that don't do anything meaningful yet. Only details that I would look into is maybe adding arrow/WASD support for movement and maybe explaining what generic types and "keyboard hotkeys" are. Hope to see the game progress!

I really enjoyed the game! very good songs and match the game.
I didn't understand dreams very well and then it gets very repetitive

Love the idea and i think it's great you revisited that tree theme. It is something beautiful to reverse this desert into a lush green space, i think this could be great as a relaxing game just about "meeting" different plants and simple but nice work.

The groundworks are also laid here, as the graphics are very nice with the beautiful trees and them moving in the wind, along to the calm and friendly music. What's a bit lacking to me is the gene feature. I can understand the trees have different needs, but i'm missing a way to satisfy this. For example, i'd like to see areas that are drier or wetter, hotter or colder, more or less fertile, so i can have a "plan". The seeds also felt a bit random, as in harvesting a mushroom and getting 3 types of different trees out of it. I opted to just harvest everything and replant, which worked well but was a waste for the cool genetic system. Ah, and i'm missing a hotkey for plant/plant all.

The idea is really good and the groundworks are there. If you manage to make the genetics somewhat predicatable and find room to give them meaning, this could be a great game. Another path could be to strip the genetics from explicit display and focus on building something nice - i don't think there is a gardening game yet, but i'd love to see one. Congratulations on finishing and for daring something new and complex!

Fantastic entry! I got to the chill wind level before I accidentally left the game page and lost all my progress :cry:

It would be nice if there was an option to tone down the particle effects, because when I was planting 100+ plants, it would start to lag.

I was super engaged and tried my best to play it to the end, well done.
