Discovery

Explore a massive terrain while piloting a car that can shrink and grow at the push of a button!

Controls:

While in the car:
-W, A, S, and D or the arrow keys to move.
-Q to toggle between “Grow Mode” and “Shrink Mode”.
-E to grow/shrink (depends which mode you are in from pressing Q).
-R, F, and C to squish/stretch your car’s x, y, and z size respectively. These three buttons are also affected by which of the two modes you chose via pressing Q. These buttons allow you to change the shape of the car. Different car shapes make it easier to get over different types of terrain as you explore.
-O to reset the size of your car back to the default.

Unlockable car controls (you can’t do these until later in the game):
-Space to launch up into the air.
-U to activate a crystal that makes your car drive extremely fast.

While a first-person character:
-In order to talk to NPCs and obtain quests, you get out of your car and walk as a first-person character when you enter the radius of a town.
-W, A, S, and D or the arrow keys to move.
-Space to jump.
-Left Shift to sprint.

Other controls:
-Press or double-tap N to change camera view.
-Press escape to pause/restart/save and quit.
-M to open the map.

The goal of this game is to find 5 monuments hidden in a massive world.

When you unlock a monument, you can teleport to that monument by pressing a number key (1-5, depending on the monument) and your spawnpoint is set to the monument. Unlocking monuments both progresses the storyline and acts as a way to save your location and quick travel.

The monuments are protected by 5 different species, whom you can meet and assist during the game:

The Mishe:
-Mice-like creatures that live in a desert on the eastern side of the island you start on.
-They also live in various villages across the map, and many of them will give you vehicle customization options for finding them!
-One of the Mishe, named Sarah, will ask you to scare away a giant that they feel is terrorizing them.
-Completing that quest gives your car the ability to drive underwater, which allows you to access the first monument.

Fribbits:
-Frog-like creatures obsessed with war. They can only say one word-fribbit-but their meaning is translated to the player.
-The green fribbit castle is found on the mainland to the south.
-King Fribbit will ask the player to recover his blueprints, which were stolen by a Monkee. In exchange, he will grant the player access to the second monument.
-A couple fribbits in the castle will also reveal the location of a magical crystal. Getting this allows the player to drive very quickly.

Gentle Ocean Giants:
-Peaceful giants who live underwater.
-Their giant underwater dome is north of the green fribbit castle, somewhere in the ocean.
-If you find them, they will give you the ability to launch your car into the air, which allows the player to access the third monument.

Monkees:
-They are monkeys with British accents.
-The fourth monument is on an island with a banana tree, but it has been ripped apart! Each of the four Monkee kings has taken a piece.
-Offer them bananas to take their pieces and repair the monument!

Robotic Army:
-They don’t talk. Nobody knows how they got here. But if you enter their line of sight, they will destroy your car.
-Sneak around them, avoiding their line of sight, and make use of the powerful crystal the Fribbits directed you to so that you can drive up a mountain and reach their castle, which houses the fifth monument.

Discovery works for:
-Windows 32-bit
-Windows 64-bit
-Mac {NOTE: If your mac doesn't trust this software, it may prevent the game from accessing the save files, which is bad. If your Mac version seems to be having problems, try downloading it onto a flashdrive and bringing it onto your mac that way so the Mac trusts it and doesn't block it's file access}

Future Goals:
-I plan to release this game onto Steam as well if sell around 25 copies or more here on GameJolt.
-I am constantly working to decrease lag and fix bugs.
-There's a couple rocks in the tutorial that people sometimes struggle to drive around, so I'll make them smaller in a future update.
-I may add multiple save slots so you can have three different games going at once.
