Butterfly Expedition

This small game was made for the Godot Wild Jam #81, Expedition. 

Are you ready to embark on the most outrageously grand, amazing, stupendous, and epic expedition of your life? Join this mighty band of mycologists, ornithologists, botanists, and yes, even lepidopterists! That’s right, you will be helping collect butterflies for our conservation program! Do you have what it takes to collect the rarest and most beautiful specimens?

The web export does not run as well as the PC version, primarily on mobile. We have some performance options in the Settings that can be adjusted to suit your system. For web, the defaults have been set to improve performance. You can fully disable the day/night lighting if you still have issues, though we found the darkening helped remind to get back to camp. The music transitions as you change areas, but on mobile we noticed a bit of stuttering during this transition, so this can be disabled.

Press Tab or Select/Back (by default) while playing to see the current controls. Controls can be remapped. If using keyboard, adding the mouse for swing and interact is recommended. These are not set by default to prevent conflicts with the mobile controls. Exclamation marks will initially highlight key locations/people until you interact with them. 

In addition to performance, there are a number of customization options in the Settings. When you start there will be some intro text, and the first time you speak with Leonard he will have more to say. You can turn off the intro text, and have Leonard switch to his shorter text, for future playthroughs. The game will pause when it loses focus. This can be disabled. There are several background audio tracks. You can adjust which play. There are options to enable on-screen controls for mobile, however, mobile does still have some lag when you first start playing as it loads. This usually lasted less than a minute and then was fine.

All butterflies, except for the elusive Nebula Wing, are based on real butterflies.
