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
#paleontology
That's from my university's Maths & Stats department newsletter, OpenInterval, and the full version is available here: www3.open.ac.uk/documents/3/… ✨
shoutout to @peterroopnarine, whose papers I've been devouring to get to this point!
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 👇
@PlantBasedGamin
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!

In Synergy, you can build a city that's not only beautiful but also sustainable and environmentally friendly

It's funny but this thread was featured in the @NewsAlife newsletter! I'm glad my silly lil thread was useful ☀️

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.
such a satisfying lil concrete PLOP ✨
become the wizard you've always deserved to be in our new demo, now with special effects! 👀

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!
If you or a friend are looking for a fun way to spend the summer, Ooblets is currently on sale in the Nintendo eShop until 6/25! 💖

A lil sneak peek at our ☔️ very experimental ☔️ experiments that could make their way into future demo releases in some form 🤫
Vines and foggy weather 🌫️

Have you ever wondered how the print version of a simulated tree smells like?
both of us can find out now, because…
Idu was featured in this brand-new indie game magazine alongside actual indie gems✨
my inner child is screaming!
We’re working on new water for the next Idu update, but here are some itrigation tips from chartuch if you’re wondering how to make your Boo trees feel better 🎋
Our Discord is the place for weird hacks and cozy building tips ✨
What games have you been playing lately? 🌼
Sometimes I feel like it’s hard to find games that spark that childish joy.
But I tried @RainWorldGame recently and it blew my mind!! I can’t get enough of actual ecosystem-driven mechanics!
This carrot looks really sus. 🥸
#AmongUs made its way into our plant growing simulation game again somehow!
