I.
Keep the core small.
Begin with the essentials. Let your project’s needs decide which modules belong.
DIRECTION 03 / FIELDWORK
Good things grow
from a small core.
A considered engine for curious people.
Native tools for games and interactive software.
01 — OUR STARTING POINT
Make more of
what is already there.
Mycelium takes a resource-conscious approach to building software: a modular core, connected tools, and an instinct to avoid unnecessary work.
Read the philosophyA PRACTICE, NOT A PROMISE
Care is in the details.
Efficiency is expressed through design choices: batching work, pacing idle frames, and selecting the capabilities a project needs. Environmental impact still needs measurement.
II.
Keep ideas connected.
Shared data and observable commands help separate parts become a coherent whole.
III.
Keep learning in public.
An open-source alpha, with a visible roadmap and room for people to shape what follows.
DESIGN NOTES
Less spectacle.
More substance.
An editorial serif voice, ink-green type, fine copper lines, and a paper ground. The art direction uses tactile materials and daylight to communicate care and durability. This is the boldest departure from the existing dark editor.
Visual direction study. Mycelium remains alpha software; see the project roadmap for current feature maturity.
