“Earthtongue” is my game where you create and maintain an alien garden-sized ecosystem. In it, you play as a sort of meta-consciousness, dependent on the complexity and biomass of your world for your ability to influence it and think. As your world grows more vibrant, so too does your mind grow, and thus are you compelled towards creating a place of greater stability.

Some personal interesting design aspects

1. “Selling it down” solutions to problems should create their own, delayed and separate, problems to be managed later, creating an ascending staircase of complexity

2. “Double-Edged Failure” infliction (like wounds, etc) should grant their own bonuses. While disadvantageous, it is more interesting when failures come with a slight upside of their own, giving a sort of twisted value to negative aspects
