🌿 This time, I decided to become a botanist in a universe where evolution took a different turn.
I created The Botanical Bureau of Impossible Plants, an interactive conservatory filled with species that have never existed.
🌸 Enter the Botanical Bureau
The conservatory begins with six imaginary plants, each with its own botanical illustration, Latin name, peculiar habitat, and curious behavior.
But the fun begins when you experiment.
You can discover entirely new species, adjust rainfall and sunlight, or change a plant's age and watch its appearance respond.
My favorite feature is cross-pollination. Select two specimens and breed them. Their offspring inherits a mixture of their botanical characteristics, with occasional mutations. You can then breed the hybrids, creating an expanding family of increasingly improbable plants.
Every specimen is drawn procedurally from its inherited characteristics. You can preserve favorites in your personal herbarium and export illustrated botanical plates.
I built and tested the experience for desktop and mobile. It works entirely offline.
And I included a small scientific disclaimer: these are not biologically realistic organisms. They are an experiment in imaginary natural history.
I like the idea of making discoveries in a world that doesn't exist—yet remains internally consistent enough to explore. 🌱
