Planets
When creating a new plant, you can now choose from 10 different planets on which to grow, including the default, original planet, which is called Ma.
Each planets changes how your plant grows. Planets that are further from the sun get less light. Some planets are wetter or dryer. Planets have varying gravity, which affects how thick plants must become in order to grow taller. Planets also have varying day lengths as well as weather and animal variety (sorry, still just different birds, spiders, and fish for now).
In addition to simple number changes, some planets change the way a plant grows entirely. This includes only being able to grow vines, growing at odd angles, and even new types of leaves.
The orbits of the planets are fully simulated. All planets appear in the sky, and closer planets appear larger. Each planet in the sky (including the moon) has a phase depending on its position relative to the sun.
A live map of the solar system can be opened by going to the "Cosmology" menu, or pressing the 'C' key.
Small Quality-of-Life changes
It is now easier to make several leaves from a single branch without accidentally overshooting and making another branch. If a branch already has another leaf coming off it, additional leaves will not automatically become branches when being stretched far enough. However, clicking and dragging and existing leaf will still create a new branch as normal.
The is a new sound for moon leaves. I always thought the sound was a little harsh, so moon leaves now have a subdued sound, which I think matches their theme much better. If playing on the moon, branches make this new sound too.
While using a clock flower to freeze time, there is now a bar that tells you how much time you have left until time outside your plant resumes.
Message from the Developer
Hey all, it's been a while. Believe it or not, this game is not abandoned. I've had a full time job for the last year, and after coding all day for work, I didn't have a lot of motivation to do so at home as well.
I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to put this one out, but I hope you enjoy it.
