@simplex_fx @enjojoyy Tiny Glade is also developed in Rust and it’s out.

shoutout to @peterroopnarine, whose papers I've been devouring to get to this point!

What has math got to do with dinosaurs? 🦕

I simulated plausible ecosystems of the Permian-Triassic by creating probabilistic networks of ancient feeding behaviors based on a collection of fossil specimens.

We're currently writing a paper, but here's an intro

That's from my university's Maths & Stats department newsletter, OpenInterval, and the full version is available here: https://t.co/NCCvnfOAEE ✨

Do vines grow like this in real life?

Rokibe from our Discord managed to grow vines that are just built different.

also, EVERY. SINGLE. LEAF photosynthesizes and decides how the plant will continue growing in Idu 🍃
you're looking at a huge plant brain!

🌱 If you're an #IndieGameDev working on anything #Solarpunk or nature-related, please post your game here! Let's spread the word and get the momentum going!

Let's take a little walk in the Old Archmage's Residence in Idu first...

I'll start below 👇

Eco-friendly city builder with some low-tech/solarpunk aesthetics mixed in!

I wonder if the grass roofs and permaculture-inspired gardens actually work that way too, or if it's just a vibe. Either way, I'm really excited to see where this goes!

This is how Ferrlius, a member of our Discord, imagines the plant wizard in Idu 🪄
It's our first fan art ever!!😳

How do you think an armless plant wizard looks like? 🍃

After all, you really can't hold a magic wand. You just have lots of pockets.

[🍓Eli🌿making Idu, a plant sim🌟 @logicsoup]

@mazestalker thanks! your game looks pretty too!

[🍓Eli🌿making Idu, a plant sim🌟 @logicsoup]

@GalopeStudios feeling this 💀

Ooblets is my favorite game at the moment, it has a lot of new approaches in comparison to other farming games and it’s just perfect in every way. I definitely recommend getting it!
