A cozy forest simulation
About PolyPine
Create habitats for plants, insects, and animals, then grow a thriving forest ecosystem. Every plant develops through a simulation where each branch uses water and sunlight.
Trigger animal behaviors
Click animals to influence the forest. Foxes hunt, voles dig for roots, and animals spread nutrients and seeds when they poop.
Welcome wildlife
Create suitable habitats, then introduce new plants and animals when the conditions are right.
Build a resilient forest
Earn balance points through ecological interactions, add more life, and help the forest endure seasonal changes and natural disasters.
Forest Gallery
A thriving forest must support its animals through shifting seasons, extreme weather, and natural disturbances.

History
I've always been fascinated by trees. I first decided to create a game where you play as a tree, but when I showed it to friends and family, they were much more excited about the animals.
That changed the project from a tree simulator into a game about forest ecosystems. The tree simulation is still there, adding another layer of depth.
The Next Ecosystem
Polyzonia takes the ideas behind PolyPine into richer food webs, distinct biomes, and a much larger living world.
