THEY EXIST!
They tried to keep us quiet. We kept searching. Today, I can finally confirm: the Kongamato, the Jackalope, and Nessie are REAL! 📰
The evidence is in Art of Fauna!

Main concern so far is the pricing, and many people want an Italian localisation 🇮🇹. Let’s see if I can make the latter happen!

Only good things! Both apps will continue to get puzzles and enhancements. And I want to do some fun cross-overs, like with those images from Maria Sibylla Merian, that feature both beautiful plants and insects. 🦋

The idea for an Art of Flora is as old as the one for Art of Fauna. I planned to build and release it at the end of next year, to give myself a bit of a break.
But in August, I found the first copy cat of Art of Fauna. It used AI-generated plant pictures, heavily copied Art of Faunas’ UI, and even texts. Then in October, the second copy came out.
They are now removed, but it forced me to elevate my timeline to prevent more from popping up.

As some of you correctly found out, it's a "Bird of Paradise", or "Strelitzia". I tried 40 icons (more on that in another post), but this one fits *perfectly*.
It looks great, it’s one of my favourite plants (wearing a Kew Garden Shirt right now that depicts it) and it ties in perfectly with the Art of Fauna icon!
