Folded Flowers

Paper Flowers is a small plant breeding simulator where you can mix flowers to create new, similar looking flowers. In the current state it's more of a proof of concept than a game, as it has very little in terms of polish, so there's no sound or textures, or feedback for player actions. Nevertheless it can be a fun toy to play around with for a few minutes.

To mix two plants, click and drag from one plant onto another plant, and then onto the floor (without releasing). There is also a small chance this spawns an entirely random flower instead, to add to the
I'm aware that this control scheme gets a bit finnicky especially if there's a lot of plants (as plant stalks are included in the selection), I unfortunately did not have time to implement more fun controls. There's no objective, but you can try to breed a plant of a certain colour, or one with as large a flower as possible.

You can reload the game by typing "world_reload"  in the console, which  you can access by pressing tilde (~). Here you can also see some debug strings being thrown around, such as the DNA strings used to generate the plants.

This game was a submission for the 2022 GMTK game jam. I had to cut a lot of stuff out, so it's only tangentially related to the theme at this point because it involves RNG.

Some known issues:

• The ClothBodies of meshes sometimes get unhinged, causing plants to drift off into the floor or tilt their flowers away from the camera.
• There's also a smaller chance for the plant to generate with parameters that cause an issue with the dynamic mesh generation. 
• Plant stalks are not mixed, so these are entirely random
• Using world_reload can crash the game if some errors have occurred before.

Note: 

Yes, the game is inspired by the flash game named "Seed" that's now unfortunately is no longer easily playable. :) There was supposed to be more to it than that, but alas.
