Bumbled is a 3D platformer/art game inspired by games such as flower, Mister Mosquito and Nights: Into Dreams. In Bumbled you control Queen Garnet, a queen bee whose loyal subjects have all mysteriously vanished. After years of being pampered and attended upon, she is left to her own devices and forced to leave behind her life of luxury in order to gather nectar from flower and find her loyal subjects.

Assets required include character models for Queen Garnet, Queen Opal, the worker bees and factory workers. Queen Garnet’s scepter and its subsequent stages as Garnet collects more nectar. Flowers and nectar require models as well. Environmental designers will develop each of the four stages. Queen Garnet’s costumes require modeling as well. A few of them will be simple recolors in order to stay under
