🍄 What's it like to live on a stump?

Perhaps, worlds within worlds, new climates and friends?

🍇🍋 Making a proud return: new visuals, improved design, & new mechanics!

It packs a synthesis of nutrients into energy, and mutualistic energy generation with opponent Blooms...

1️⃣ = real slime mold inspiration
2️⃣ = in progress '3d mycelium tree' - but what could we be growing?? 🍄

While slime molds are not fungi, the forms echo webbing and network branching

Loving the dreamy vibes in game with this improved gradient shader...✨

Ancient Network colors indicate upcoming growth; think blueprints for your future expansions

Got some fresh screenshots going up for SporeBloom :)

Both of these are from the same map, just different perspectives ;) Very refreshing to reframe the experience now and then.

Got some new branding finalized (or super near to it!) Thanks a ton to the game's community for feedback.

There isn't a single aspect that doesn't receive an iteration in game dev. #unity3d #gamedevelopment #mushrooms #mushroomgame

I'm very thankful for being selected for grant funding! It's a big boost after 2 dedicated years thus far.
🕹
You may have spotted posts advertising for hiring, and it's largely thanks to this program's belief in SporeBloom.
