Hive Quest – Strange Adventures in the Wild Woods certainly has a unique premise: a real-time strategy game in which players take control of a tiny bee and explore an enchanted woodland filled with ancient magic, strange creatures and intriguing puzzles.
The story arc involves a dangerous journey to find safety for their insect tribe after a cataclysm destroys their home. Players will uncover the secrets of the Old Orchard, find and train your very own woodland sprite and lead their Hive to victory.
You can check out the gameplay trailer below, which shows off some of the gameplay and graphics. It’s charm and whimsy is punctuated by the beautiful greenery and bright colors of the fauna:
Hive Quest was created by Rod Tyson, the founder and creative director of Goldenheart Games. “As a kid, did you ever play a game, read a book or see a movie that left you with an indefinable sense of longing?” asks Tyson. “Hive Quest was created to tap into these feelings & evoke mother nature though the colorful lens of folk lore and fairy tale.
In short, to recapture a sense of childhood wonder.”
Hive Quest is currently on Kickstarter, with the campaign preparing to go live soon. You can also check out its Steam wishlist page. And be sure to look over some lovely screenshots of the title in the gallery below.
Two recent Kickstarter campaigns that made their debut include Roll Camera! and Sony PlayStation’s Unofficial Book. The former lets you and up to three friends make your own board game movie in the latest game from Keen Bean Studio. It’s Kickstarter campaign gives fans three choices each day for upgrades that represent different scenes from a movie. By the end of the campaign, you’ll have built a full-length film and a fully upgraded version of the game for everyone.
And the latter is a nostalgia filled compilation that contains retro games from 1995-2005. According to the creator, the book is built to let the games and your own memories tell the story. All of the gaming titles within the book are organized by release date, so with each page, you see the progression and evolution of the technological feats and eras of the original PlayStation.
