| Germination X is "a permaculture game for social networking platforms." | Germination X is "a permaculture game for social networking platforms" and was a fertile spinoff of research into robot social intelligence initially conducted for the [[:project_lirec|LIREC]] project, incorporating a state-of-the-art AI system based on [[lirec:Fatima]]. The basic concept of GerminationX is that you can sew seeds and see other players' plants, which grow along the lines of a model that simulates companion planting. The plant species represented in the game should be local, interesting or endangered, as well as more "popular" kinds. You have a guide or companion who assists you to companion plant, but players themselves never meet directly through the game – though they become indirectly aware of one another through their planting activities. Though it is big, you can only encounter a small part of the game world at a time. |
