Creature Quests are gameplay-focused maps with support for leaderboards and eventually co-op, multiplayer and more.
Leaderbaords Released!
Today, the first leaderboard challenge "Lady Love" is out.
You play as a female or male Jumping Spider on a quest to reach Lady Love / Sir Love on the other side of a deceptively placid lake. Here's a video of me (Venu, DoN's Dev) playing the challenge with narration!

Multiplayer Creature Quests
Upcoming Creature Quests are anticipated to have multiplayer/co-op focus. More info on this soon; new creatures are planned for specific quests too.
While Lifecycles, metamorphosis, mating, reproduction are still central to the game, Creature Quests will allow players to enjoy new quests and content while providing the core simulation sufficient breathing room to blossom to its full potential.
Get your name on the leaderboard!
That's it for this update! Get your name on the leaderboard, win some prizes and have fun being Drunk On Nectar :D

Addendum; other patch notes:
Universal Cam - A new control/camera scheme
- Consistent camera mechanics across landscape/stalk/leaf/flower
- Turn creatures using R-Stick / Mouse when you're moving
- Auto-Free-Look when creature is idle (R-Stick or mouse)
- Smart Camera picks best viewing angle for moving creatures
Controls will obviously play a huge role in your ability to register the best possible scores so do post any issues you run into and they will be looked into earnestly.
