Fungi Fun: VR Game
A VR Game on Fungal Cultivation
2025UnityVR
Inspiration
Inspired by my visit to the Micropia Museum in Amsterdam, where microbes are cultivated and exhibited. I wanted to simulate the process of fungal cultivation in VR while adding fantasy elements to make it playful and engaging.
Research
- Looked up YouTube science videos and literature about culturing fungi.
- Adapted steps: collecting samples, placing them in petri dishes, incubation, and transplanting to growth medium.
- Added imaginative mechanics (alien minerals for mutations).
Gameplay
- Players collect fungal samples in the forest, bring them back to the lab through a portal.
- Cultivate and mutate fungi to create beautiful species for museum display.
- Blend of science and playful experimentation.
