This was a very early look at my experimental game Anomalies, which you can see here: store.steampowered.com/app/546780/Anomalies
I call Anomalies "experimental" because of the way in which I developed it. I started with a simple idea - "what would trees look like if they grew in space?" - and began to create fairly simple, branching structures. Once that was working, I thought about different colors and textures. Each stage brought new questions and possibilities - "what if they move or wiggle? What it they make sounds? What if they produce flames or particles?" - and so on, until I arrived at what you see in the program. So I had no idea what it would end up like when I started it. Though I have moved on to other projects, I still think about more possibilities for Anomalies. I do hope to be able to return to working on this program at some point, but I will not give any promises right now...
The game was voted onto Steam in 2016 through Steam: Greenlight - when that was still active.
The music in the video was actually generated by the current version of Anomalies, but was not present at the time of the recording.
