Inspiration
Farming sims, Plants vs Zombies, turn based strategy games.
What it does
Players are able to start a mushroom growing business from scratch.
How we built it
I used AI Studio for just about everything.
Challenges we ran into
Gemini can be a bit stubborn at times and it takes a lot of finessing and persuasion to get it to do exactly what you want. It took a lot of back and forth prompting in order to get Gemini to understand how 2D isometric grids work.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I was working on another app that really wasn't that engaging at all. I decided to start with a clean slate with less than 2 days before the deadline and got all the basic game logic working within a few hours. Spent the second day polishing it to improve UX.
What we learned
First time using AI studio and I'm very impressed by how quick you can go from basic brainstorming session to a working high-fidelity prototype. Prior to this I would have spent days just writing down my ideas on paper before just giving up on it entirely to try something new.
What's next for Fungai Tycoon
I'd love to go back and add some custom art work and animations to give the game that human touch that is often missing from generative AI. The leaderboard is populated with fake user names as it isn't really connected to a real database so it's mostly there as a placeholder for the time being.
