Forest Poems

Oh, this is just so lovely. Amazing concept.

Interesting concept. It can become a great social application or game(like Second Life) if it is worked upon. Maybe some form of structure to the poems can be added? Nonetheless, an intriguing game.

I love the concept and the art. My main critique (naturally there's always a negative, no matter what you make, right?) is that the poetry and actual forest building could be linked a little more clearly. What determines what poetry I get?

As a writer myself, I might like the idea of putting together my own lines of poetry and seeing trees sprout based on what I assemble. I know that's ambitious though.

Nice concept and good art too. It can be further developed into something better by making the game more clearer and adding a few more things to do in it. Developing a good and communicative UI will help alot.

Great little idea! I want to grow more poems now, and am keeping the tab open so I can do it here and there (I wish it had a real time timer so I could see how much time I had left to wait). It's an idle game of sorts in the end :)

The wait aspect is an elegant nudge to make us check out (and possibly donate to) the links you put on the home page.

Some features I wish the toy had to feel more complete:

• Be full page rather than the default Unity size
• Support setting a nickname so we can have fun discovering who wrote what
• Maybe figure out a system to collaboratively trace forest paths that combine tiles into actual poems (eg. every 3 tiles you get to mark a tile as a continuation of a poem path, every 15 you can start a new poem using a specifically marked tile. Poems can't cross each other)

Anyway these are suggestions off the top of my head but all in all it's a great idea and a solid 36h implementation.

@Wan We actually might do an extended version in the near future - thanks for the suggestions :)

Quite lovely. Nice graphics and I enjoyed the font.
