The plant took longer than everything else combined
One plant, modelled properly, cost me more time than the world, the vehicles and the save system put together. Here is where it went.
Understory
A photorealistic cultivation simulator. Grow a room, learn a plant, and work an island that does not care whether you succeed.

The devlog
All postsI deleted the whole world and started again
The island had grown for months without a plan. I threw all of it away and rebuilt it one district at a time.
Why I am building Understory
I wanted a grow sim where the plant reacts to what you actually did. I could not find one, so I am making it on my own.
I will tell you when it is playable
I send mail when there is something real to show. No schedule, no marketing, and I am the only one who ever writes it.
What I write about
Devlog
What I built this week, and what it cost me.
The island
The terrain, the districts, the weather, and the places you will work.
Systems
Light, air, water, feed, and the arithmetic I put underneath them.
Art & tech
The plant pipeline, materials, lighting, and the performance budget.
Notes
Shorter things. Screenshots, problems, small wins.
