The Understory

Client: APP.FARM / NSFType: Game Design

'The Understory' is an NSF funded research project in which the player assumes control of a mycorrhizal fungi network attempting to survive and grow in the forest understory. This grant was completed between the APP.FARM at UTK and researcher Susan Kalisz, and consisted of this digital game and a board game. I was responsible for developing the player controller, camera system, growth mechanic, constructing the game world and developing the visuals.
