LunarPlant
A downloadable game for Windows
What is LunarPlant?
LunarPlant is a third-person open-world sandbox game with elements of simulation. You play as a farming robot, DAE, who has set out to create his own farm on his very own asteroid. You are given 2 quite alien-looking plants to begin with, but maybe you'll discover more.
The asteroid you're making your farm on is an actual spherical world that you are free to explore. It is full of exploration opportunities, as well as different places that you can make your own with your plants. However, the asteroid is also prone to a lot of solarstorms, which might kill your plants if they are not protected. BUT, if your plant does survive, it goes through quite the change. Take the risk to find out!

We are actually a group of 5 students who just graduated from Inland University in Norway. Two of us got a Bachelors degree in Game Technology and Simulation, and the other three of us got a Bachelor in Animation and Digital Art. LunarPlant is our bachelor project that we have been working on for about 9 months, where the first four months were pre-production and the last five were actual production and development.
Apart from the five of us, we've also gotten a great deal of help from outsourcing some art, music and sound effects. These people are:
- Tommy Iberg: Music
https://soundcloud.com/tommy-iberg/sets/lunarplant-ost - Jonas Medhus: Concept art
- Haakon Toverød Davidsen: Sound effects
- Anders Kile Grønningsæter: Sound effects

Where do we go from here?
Since we're done with our Bachelors degree now, we are scattering across Norway. Therefore, we cannot maintain the development of LunarPlant the way we have for the past 5 months. However, some of us are interested in working on it further, and will keep the game as a hobby project. We can therefore not guarantee a steady stream of updates and patches, but we might add some stuff here and there, and update the files on this site. We are very aware that the game has many bugs, some gamebreaking and others just annoying, and we would very much like to fix these.
We do sincerely hope that you find our game interesting and fun. Feel free to leave us any feedback, be that good or bad, or any questions that you might have in the comments on this page. It is much appreciated.

if anybody is wondering how to fix the frozen mouse i have a simple step by step process
1.select a seed
2.go into placeing mode (click with the seed selected)
3.open the shop while place mode is on
there you go now your mouse will not freeze until you close the game
this took a lot of thinking to figure out(longer than it took me to think of how to grow the black crocus)
i don't acully know how to grow black crrocus i only know how to make it survive solor flares. it would be helpfull to know
there is a bug that has ruined my entire experience so please it would be amazing to fix the bug: after playing for a little bit i opened the main menu to save and the mouse was stuck in the middle of the screen, i could not click anything so i alt+f4 and got back on and when i loaded the game two things happened one is a bug that is just when i opened the shop menu it said i had this fruit that was worth 300 but it said i had 0 of them but it let me sell it. the second thing that happened was the mouse continued to freeze so i accepted my fate and pressed new game instead of load game and it still froze my mouse in the menu
this is the best game I have ever found on itch.io. it is the only game that I have found that perfectly matches the way I like games so keep up the good work because this is REALLY good.
