Second #GameJam day is done!

We iterated on our ideas until we figured out a better concept for the first game phase.

You play a fungal communicator bringing ressources from one mother tree (pictured in the #ConceptArt) to the other.
In the second phase you create new connectings to their seedlings.

The idea is based on the #MycorrhizalNetworks healthy forests have.

Then we prototyped the core mechanics of the game: You can run, jump and burrow into the ground now!
