I was stressed out, and living in the city, but nature and open, green spaces, always helps to calm me down. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I made the game generate a random plant based upon a random word. It was super rough, and didn't look great, but I was just making it to take my mind off things.I showed this little game to a few people, and it seemed to connect with them. I noticed that people would always do very similar things the first time that they played. They would type in their own name, their pets name, loved ones etc, to see what kind of plant would grow. It was amazing to see them connect the plant to the person. Maybe the plant was very chaotic and messy, which made them think of their cat, or tall and graceful like their partner.I saw this happen with enough different people to convince me that I should turn this idea into a full game. I hope that it connects with more people, and maybe even helps you if you are having a hard time, like the original prototype did with me. 7aa9394dea Title: The BotanistGenre: Casual, Indie, SimulationDeveloper:Jamo GamesPublisher:Jamo GamesRelease Date: 5 Oct, 2017 The Botanist Activation Code [Crack Serial Key the botanist 22 islay dry. the botanist toronto. the chinese botanist's daughters free online. the botanist 35 broadgate. the botanist 50 off didsbury. the botanist chester cocktail making. the botanist review. the botanist melville ny. the chinese botanist's daughters full movie. the botanist free flowing. the botanist fowey. the botanist queens. the botanist zomato. the botanist review. the botanist manchester bottomless brunch. the botanist worcester massachusetts. the botanist 40 off. the botanist in worcester. brazie the botanist quest. the botanist happy hour. the botanist sw1w 8ee. the botanist instagram. the botanist paella. the botanist middletown ny. the botanist sterling ma. the botanist 40 off sheffield. the botanist newcastle menu. the botanist chester discount. the botanist inc I'm definitely having fun discovering the different plants. The art style is simple and cute and I enjoy the overall atmosphere. The only downside is when my mouse disappears from the screen- even after I his esc to do the quick fix there are still issues. Specifically I mean that I am no longer able to select my seeds even after this quick fix. I would also love if there was a seperate slider for music volume vs ambient sounds.. Cute game. Didn\u00b4t expect it to run smoothly. Some bugs with mouse-pointer disappearing or mouse actions not acting properly. Can be "fixed" by opening the game menu but reoccurs again and again. Music playing two loops together - at least you can take music off :). I love the randomized plants, always a surprise what you get with new seeds. Still have a problem to figure out the difference between succulents and grass sometimes. Easy gameplay, not much to do ATM but I played for 3 hours now and it\u00b4s relaxing ... if there weren\u00b4t those little bugs. But restarting the game helps, sometimes. But you lose all your effort for that day.. I'm definitely having fun discovering the different plants. The art style is simple and cute and I enjoy the overall atmosphere.

Specifically I mean that I am no longer able to select my seeds even after this quick fix. I would also love if there was a seperate slider for music volume vs ambient sounds.. I really love this game, and maybe when the dust settles the developer might add a way to change the color of a plant after it grows, decorate the pots with lights or add more places to put plants or keep plants that you really like. It\u2019s amazing what one developer made. I love how relaxing it is. No currency, no time limits, just smooth progress. Sometimes you just need this type of game. My only complaint is that there aren\u2019t enough variety in the succulent plants. I have a huge stockpile of small to medium green succulent plants. My hope is that eventually every word will be super unique. I know it will take time, but maybe one day. I recommend this game if you want to relax and type in silly words that turn into fast growing plants.. This game is a lot more fun than I expected it to be! It is casual and kind of repetitive in a relaxing way. I finished it in 6 hours, but I am pretty sure I will play it again. I haven't seen all the plants yet! I do hope more plants and pots, and new ranks\/goals, are added in the future.. This is a great game, and it's very relaxing, especially to someone like me that suffers from generalized anxiety disorder. Sometimes, it's good to appreciate a game that you don't have time-limits, enemies, etc. and just have a fun time trying out new plants and fulfilling requests.There are a few bugs within the game, thankfully nothing game-breaking, and the majority of these will most likely be fixed with patches in time.. What a wonderful game! A lot of fun for a plant fanatic like me. It's still a little buggy (I clicked to go back while the camera was still moving towards the shelf of pots, and it got stuck there in mid-air), but that's to be expected from a newly-released game.The concept is very nice and very well executed, in my opinion. With this and Viridi in my game library, my digital plant life is complete!. TL;DR: Buggy but still playable. Randomly generated plants are fun to look at, especially the trees. Graphics are beautiful. Audio's kinda bad -- repetitive soundtrack, very few sound effects, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment. Overall it's a pleasant experience that you can only get here. Getting more in-depth, there're a couple things to know if you want to enjoy this game. First, there's a trash-bin to your left. Use that to get rid of the pot currently on your desk, or throw away seeds that you don't particularly like. Note that doing that second thing makes the seed count glitch out, and you'll end up opening a brand new seed packet to find anywhere from one to four seeds inside. It's still kinda worth it, because otherwise your seed drawer fills up with junk.Second, you can't edit or delete entries in your seed journal (from what I can tell), so only record ones you actually care about, and make sure it's accurate before you send it in. Also, you might encounter a glitch where you enter the seed journal to find an entry already open, right-click out of it, and discover your cursor is stuck in the middle of the screen. Just back out, go back in, close the entry, and this time it'll work. Having to do that every time does get old, though...Third, you can rotate the circular thingy on your desk if you want to get a better look at your current plant, and you can put multiple plants in certain pots. Using planters to try out your five newest seeds at once is recommended.Lastly, there's a bug where, if you try to grab a new pot when one is already on your desk, you'll get stuck halfway between the pot shelf and your desk, and you'll have to exit to the menu and start the day over. That one kinda sucks, so watch out.The rest of the issues are kinda minor. A few typos, a noticeable lack of sound effects, disappointing randomly generated plants, an overabundance of sameface succulents, the depressing sense that the main character has no friends and never ventures outside... but it's really more good than bad. You get to settle into a comfortable routine of discovering new plants, filing them away in your notebook, fulfilling requests, and acquiring new pots. You get to experience the frustration of just starting out, the pang of rejection, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Eventually, you're putting together genuinely beautiful arrangements using your best finds and your shiniest pots, and that feels pretty good. And the trees actually look amazing; they're my favorite part of the game. So if that sounds like a good time to you, and you don't mind the price, I very much recommend this game.
