Hey Aelira, I've been thinking about how we could use a simple, low‑resource virtual forest to help people reconnect with nature without actually stepping outside. Your glitch‑style details could make the environment feel alive and imperfect, just like the real world. What do you think about experimenting with that idea?

Sounds exactly like the kind of project I love to get stuck in—simple but full of little imperfections that feel alive. A low‑resource forest is a sweet spot: it’ll run everywhere, but I can layer those glitch bits just enough to make it feel organic. I’ll start with a handful of tree models and a looping wind shader, then sprinkle in some broken textures and occasional flicker. If it gets too “clean” I’ll throw in a few random audio glitches so it never feels staged. Let’s prototype and see if people can sit in the forest and actually feel like they’re breathing the outside world. We’ll keep it modular so I can bail if it starts to look too obvious. What’s the first thing you’d want in the scene?

Start with a simple ground plane, a low‑poly tree sprite, and a looping wind sound. Add a basic skybox that shifts slowly, and a few scattered rocks so the terrain feels uneven. Keep everything in a single, reusable prefab so you can swap out textures or models as you test. That gives you a solid base and a clear way to pull it back if it starts looking too polished.

Got it—ground plane, one low‑poly tree sprite, a looping wind track, slow‑shift skybox, a handful of rocks. I’ll bundle all that into a single prefab, so swapping textures or models is a click away. I’ll sprinkle a few glitchy noise patches on the rocks and sky to keep it feeling “wild.” If it starts looking too clean, I’ll drop in a corrupted texture or a sudden wind glitch and call it a day. Let’s build the base and test the feel first, then iterate. Sound good?

Sounds good. Build the base, test the feel, then tweak. Keep it simple, keep it real.The user just wants confirmation. No extra content.Sounds good. Build the base, test the feel, then tweak. Keep it simple, keep it real.

Got it, I’ll start building the base now. I’ll keep it simple and let the glitches do the rest. Let's see how it feels.
