Hi friends!
Last week, I released a cute and zany bee themed management sim/base building game called Hive Time.
Build a hive, make some honey! Hive Time is a small, bee themed management/base building sim. Harvest resources, grow your hive, and produce a new Queen before the current one dies.
Manage different bee roles in a totally scientifically inaccurate depiction of hive dynamics. Send Foragers out to find pollen and nectar, have Builders research new cell types, and ensure you have enough Beesitters to raise the next generation of bees.
Make interesting choices that affect the hive. Respond to wasp attacks, deal with outlaw slugs, or help a caterpillar realise a lifelong dream.
I've been keeping dev logs here on Itch, which show the game's growth over the past 8 or so months of development. One of my favourite parts of this game is that I was able to record local bees and birds, and help signal boost Tasmania's honey industry a tiny bit.
If the game's original soundtrack gets your feet tapping, composer Peter Silk has released it over on Bandcamp under an "open culture" friendly licence with 50% of proceeds going to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
Enjoy!
