We took part in #GMTKJam this weekend and made a 2D "platformer" called The Lava is Floor. The theme was "reversed roles" so we thought that instead of lava being dangerous and floor being safe, we switch it up and ended up with a small lava creature swimming their way through a sea of lava, avoiding contact with solid floor at any cost.

Second #GameJam day is done!

We iterated on our ideas until we figured out a better concept for the first game phase.

You play a fungal communicator bringing ressources from one mother tree (pictured in the #ConceptArt) to the other.
In the second phase you create new connectings to their seedlings.

The idea is based on the #MycorrhizalNetworks healthy forests have.

Then we prototyped the core mechanics of the game: You can run, jump and burrow into the ground now!

It's time to #GameJam!

We're taking part in the Games for Forests Jam, and this evening was all about generating interesting ideas. We've wanted to incorporate the #Harz in a game for some time now, and the two prompts "importance of forests" and "hearts" felt perfect for that (yes, also because Harz and hearts basically sound the same).

Right now it looks like we'll make a two-phase rogue-like game centered around the complex communication systems between #trees. You play the fungal mail man!
