The Deca-Secundial Plant Nursery™ (VR Only) by Dawnreaver

[raw]
made by Dawnreaver for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Embark on this thumb-greening VR adventure to the Deca-Secondial Plant Nursery™. Something must be in the air, water or earth (or maybe all three) because plants seems to grow here rather fast. Like really fast!1!

Help Jade grow new plants and take care of them. But be careful, some of your “customers” will be proper divas.

Disclaimer: No plants were hurt during the production of this game.

Controls:

Left Stick - Move around (Continuous) Right Stick - Rotate (Snap Turn) Triggers - Pick up things and interact with the UI.

Developer comment:

Some stuff had to be cut because I was running out of time, sadly.

There is no tutorial, but you can use this YouTube gameplay video for reference:

Super cool idea! Love the music and the VR-Pixels. If I had a VR-helmet, I would buy and play this. Great job!

Oh wow, a VR title! I might try and dig out my Quest 1 and see if I can get it running- any reason you didn't put up a PCVR build though?

You might have a tricky time getting ratings :(

@shadowbrain Oh I didn't know I can do a PC VR build? Since I couldn't test it :< Just have a Q1 and Q2. It did run quite well on Q1 though :) Let me know what you think :)

Wow, this looks amazing. I'm yet another who can't play it, but thanks for uploading the video. Use of theme is good, graphics look great. Love the music and sound, the ticking sound is a bit annoying or loud though. Well done

@puyo Thank you so much for the feedback! A friend mentioned that as well, the idea was keep the player aware of the passing time. Additionally you actually have some haptic feedback.

I do want to get this to the point that it should have been at the end of the jam, so there will be an option for that ^_^

@zubi Thank you so much for your kind words :3 Not gonna lie, I took ages to decide on a name :D Fun fact, when I had my first flat, I got myself an orchid and called her Jade :D So sometimes things do come full circle ^_^
