       This was created on trainjam in 2015. @neauoire came forward with the broadstrokes design during the kickoff lunch. The basic idea was to use a pixel perfect dithered b&w palette for a game that conjured cutaway diagrams of youth.It evolved into a procedural plant growing game after initial discussions.First things first: we created a wireless peer to peer network and set up git for collaboration. Our collaboration was given the name "datamonks"

       The first thing I worked on was the procedural modeling and evolution of the ground. The ground layers are described by fBM/turbulence/summed 3d perlin noise functions. Evolving the ground was accomplished by treating the 3rd dimension as time.The layers represent sand, water, dirt, rock, volcanic rock and darkmatter and have different densities. One bug is that sometimes the water layers peek out the wrong side.

       the next thing I worked on was the procedural tree growth mechanism with xoorath. They are L-Systems with some pretty straightforward properties: branching factor, stiffness, how much they turn up to the sun, spread, etc. Which tree grows depends on the soil where the seed lands and the amount of water the roots reach.

       Ben and Devine did the design, modeling, naming system etc. The sound is nice and atmospheric too.It was published to an ipad to be played with as a simple toy.  We were pretty happy with the outcome for a 48hr jam. Donsol was made on the same trip with @eternal, I think.I just dug it up and got it building on Unity 2018.1. Here's a video (unfortunately missing audio):https://youtu.be/GHiOGL7WU5I

       here's @neauoire shot on noirca from some point on that train ride.
