Icequarium

WASD & Mouse to navigate

Icequarium is a procedural simulation that represents what it can mean to claim, protect, and occupy space. In a procedurally generated arctic landscape, lava is slowly covering the land. There are little creatures that live in the low lying areas that they cannot protect. The stewards try to build up barriers to protect the little creatures' space that the lava is looking to claim. 

As you fly through the world and observe the Icequarium, you will notice that everything has it's own voice. In the beginning, it is easy to hear the little creatures' voice because there are many of them but as the lava propagates, so does it's sound and the little creatures become difficult to find. The barriers that the stewards are able to build in time have their own hopeful songs.
