Polynate is a beehive-building game, a city-building game themed to bees. The primary goal is to prosper as a beehive and last as long as possible. A 'quest' system will be implemented for extra points and increasing population happiness amongst the bees, these quests will be given by the queen bee to please her preferences. Main resources are wax, honey and pollen – these can be used to feed, build or increase population.

In regards to the name, Polynate will incorporate a low-poly art style with a bright colour scheme – primarily consisting of yellow. There is a separate mode in which the player can control a group of scouting bees seeking out flowers (pollen), avoiding threats such as birds, lizards and humans – similar to sending out vault members in Fallout Shelter (app).

The character design for the bees will be exaggerated and bulbous, for the reason to seem less menacing and more enjoyable for a younger audience.

Bee Types:

• Worker bees are entirely female and can very rarely make new population in the form of drones, but other than that leave the reproduction up to the queen. Workers can tend to the queen or drones, feed the youth (larvae) or forage for pollen and nectar.
• Drones are the male equivalent in which their main goal is to fertilise new queens. Drones are expendable and will be sacrificed if resources get dangerously low – the primary use of drones is to keep the queen happy, which in turn keeps the overall population happy.

Intended for mobile devices (iOS/Android) and PC
