The first flush of these delicious mushrooms are ready.

Have you tried one?! They don't require more equipment than a small spray bottle.

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

YouTube video by Waiting For Nintendo Indie GOTY has arrived... [𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖕𝖔𝖔𝖓]

I was on the intellectually rich and didactic @waitingfornintendo.bsky.social to talk about developing Carpoon www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRmF...

Very cute. Maybe a few hero flowers (another clear & warm accent color?) here and there would make it sing? :)

First snow oyster flush harvest. It's a big block and the next is on the way!

🍄 Always a delight and inspiration to watch em grow.

New art by @neilpinkettartist (IG) purchased during my holiday. I guess I'm officially a collector of his ;) He has amazing technique.

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.
