This project is an experiment in 3D interface and behavior. When you click on the planet, it will spawn a little mushroom. As the plant grows, it will drop spores that grow more mushrooms. Moving the mouse to the edges of the screen will spin the planet, causing the spores to land on other parts of the sphere or fly out into space. So you’re sort of in control, but not in control.

Click on the image to view. This piece requires the Unity Web Player, I promise it won’t make spiders and ninjas flow out of your monitor if you install it.

I’ve been playing around with Unity a lot lately, and it really is a fantastic little program for making 3D indie games. In addition to seamless support for files from your favorite image editing and 3D software, you can code your games with your choice of C#, Javascript, or Boo. They just released the educational version for free, so have at it.
