Celebrations reign! Trumpets blare! It has been done!
The Monarch Butterfly’s lifecycle has now been successfully depicted in DoN making it perhaps the first game ever to depict an animal’s lifecycle in full 3D, at full scale, from birth as a tiny egg to larva, to pupa and to adult, no compromises!
Check out the very special Monarch Metamorphosis Trailer below!
Download the latest patch on Steam and experience the Monarch’s lifecycle for yourself!
Please spread the word about DoN by sharing this video on social media; subreddits, your favorite forums, anywhere! DoN’s dazzling Monarchs and their great sport deserves to be seen by a much larger audience, so let us make that happen!
DoN’s number one priority now is to promote the Monarch Metamorphosis update; to that end, a sustained marketing campaign will be executed over several weeks to help the twin-winged butterflies of Drunk On Nectar encircle the entire globe with their mighty wings!

A million Monarchs dance,
Clad in bright orange robes.
Beating millions of mighty wings,
They shall encircle all the Worlds!
Beauty, Born, from a mighty Spring,
Beauty, Joy, Forever, brings,
Spiralling In, Spiralling out, Reaching wide and far,
Reaching every corner, Of every globe and Star!

May the Monarchs usher new life into Drunk On Nectar’s Worlds!
The latest species to arrive in DoN’s World is the lovely Monarch!
Start life as a tiny 1mm sized caterpillar wriggling out of an egg and grow, moult and metamorphose your way into an adult butterfly! Of course, the adult butterfly metamorphosis is only coming next week but you can go all the way up to being a mighty fifth-instar caterpillar for now 🙂
For those who haven’t purchased the game on Steam yet, here’s a gameplay overview.
Do consider buying the game to support DoN’s ongoing development!

DoN’s Steam Early-Access Journey:
It’s been a while since the last post; as you can imagine, building Drunk On Nectar full-time while managing its Steam presence has left little time for the blog posts and dev diaries of yore.
However, a number of articles, announcements and updates have been periodically released on Steam, IndieDb and Youtube so if you’re curious to know how the journey has been so far, here’s a list of fun articles for you to read 🙂
A staggering fourteen videos have been published since DoN released on Steam! Some are tutorials, others are overviews and previews, take a look for yourself on DoN’s youtube channel!
