O que significa Mudborne Game?
A portion of the money made will be donated towards national and international amphibian, wetlands, and environmental charities to help keep our little green friends and their homes happy and healthy
If you’re brave enough to go foraging in real life, then you’ll know how picky mushrooms can be about their growing conditions, and you’ll find that to be more than true in Mudborne.
Mushrooms require precise heat and moisture conditions before they'll grow, so while certain mushrooms grow in extremely common conditions, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled as conditions change throughout the day.
Using the genetic keys of the new species you create you can unlock the paths between the waking and dreaming worlds, explore the land of those still hibernating, and embark on a journey to help restore the lost populations and find out what happened.
Mudborne is being created by ellraiser, one half of the indie-dev studio, TNgineers. A spiritual successor of sorts to APICO, Mudborne instead focuses on genetic manipulation and generational puzzles to create and discover all sorts of frog species, with experimentation being encouraged.
It originally started as a gamejam entry for FletchFest 2023, with the theme of ‘pond’. Ell had always joked about ‘what if APICO but frog?’ before, and this seemed a perfect opportunity to play with the concept and how to take things in a new direction.
For a hint at which mushrooms you'll need to alter genetics required to open Reflection Ponds, check out the little signs just beside the pool Mudborne Game itself - these offer a hint at which mushrooms to use in your magic mud to create the frog that opens that Pond.
You’ll also have more control over viewing and modifying traits, reverting generations, cloning generations, mass-producing frogspawn/tadpoles - plus plenty of other frog species and variants to find and experiment with.
It has since turned into a spiritual successor of sorts to APICO, with a similar menu system and 'collect them all' style gameplay - however Mudborne instead focuses on genetic manipulation and generational puzzles to create and discover all sorts of frog species, who's genetic keys unlock paths between the waking and dreaming worlds...
Use Composters To Encourage Spore Growth If you're not willing to wait for nature to take its course and spawn a few odd mushrooms around the world, you can always use cultivators around the map to grow mushrooms when conditions are right.
In the mud on cold nights, with a Heater and a high Umbrage frog as well as a Dehydratior with a low Saturation frog nearby.
There are a couple ways to get mushrooms to spawn in Mudborne, but you'll need to understand where they grow first before you can try to force them to appear.
In the grass on clear days, with the surrounding area warmed using a Heater and a high Umbrage frog.
You awaken from your hibernation to find your pond abandoned and empty. Through a combination of crafting minigames, menu management and puzzle solving, experiment with genetics to breed new frogs and recover what was lost.
Awoken from hibernation you find your pond abandoned. Through the genetic keys of new species you must unlock the paths between the waking & dreaming worlds, and embark on a journey to restore lost populations.
