A bit of world-lore here:
What you see in this minigame represents an early stage in the development of games in the setting.
Maybe not their first experiments, but perhaps something akin to "Pong" in our world.

I suspect it likely that when there's an interactive technology--even if magical--someone will make a game for it.🎮
So it is here, appearing as a minigame!

A (cropped) screenshot from the work-in-progress video-game "Moons in Crystal". Specifically, it shows a view within a solar-system, with crystalline stars scattered about, and the edge of the system's bounding crystal sphere nearby, to bottom-right. The player floats to the left. And, just right of centre, is a large ball of white light, surrounded by corona and rays--a sun!
A small thing, but I've reworked the look-and-feel of suns in "Moons in Crystal"!

An excerpt from a screenshot of the work-in-progress video-game "Moons in Crystal". Specifically, it shows the player within a small, dim chamber composed of tangled, reaching root-structures, all radiating out from a single, central seed. A little pool of light is visible just to the foreground of the seed, implied by light-rays to be falling from somewhere unseen above. Off to one side, a small outgrowth, half-hidden in the gloom, holds another seed.
In the deepest core of the Plant Moon, in the tangle of its roots...

A screenshot (cropped) of the work-in-progress video-game "Moons in Crystal". Specifically, it shows the player floating amidst huge, woody plant-limbs, forming twisting passages against a backdrop of tangled stems. Here in particular, the "passage" splits into two; one of these is blocked by narrower, thorny stems, while the other is open, but has outgrowths of those thorny stems on its sides.
Work on a new area in "Moons in Crystal"!
Deep beneath the canopy of the Plant Moon, amid the trunks and thorns of its stems...

A screenshot from the work-in-progress video-game "Moons in Crystal". Specifically, it shows the player within a small room of sorts, its "floor" being woody plant-limbs and its "walls" covered in leaves. Spaced about are similarly-foliated "columns", these additionally studded with small pink flowers. Behind the player is a large, dark hole, where the plant-limbs travel downwards to some unseen place. And ahead of the player is a small table-like structure, likewise formed of plant-limbs. Lying upon this structure is a black whip, studded with pale thorns.
Something found amongst the leaves

A screenshot from the work-in-progress video-game "Moons in Crystal". Specifically, it shows an area in which a great many woody trunks or stems have been cut down, leaving only stumps. To the top-left is a palisade of logs (with a gate of similar construction). To the right some yellowish blobs mark sap. To the right, an region as-yet un-razed forms a natural wall, with scattered leaves left growing on it.
Razed...

Align the flux and open the portals.
Then... dare you enter, and find to where they lead...?

A screenshot from the work-in-progress video-game "Moons in Crystal". Specifically, it shows an area of the Ossuary Moon that is greyer than usual. Nearby is a bone-door, flanked by two pillar-like arrangements of long-bones and ribs, surmounted by skulls. To the left of that, a dark streak exits to another room. On the floor to the other side are spots and a large smear of a dark red colour--and above those, on the wall, can be seen a scrawl in the same hue... To one side, a particular wall can be seen to be discoloured. And advancing towards the player from the bottom-right side of the image is a dark, emaciated figure, surrounded at its feet by vivid purple flame. From that figure's direction, a streak of purple fire travels in the player's direction.
A small addition to the Ossuary Moon: a particular section that is a little more... cursed...

Another minor change: The game now zooms in a bit when you approach an NPC, so that you can see them a little better. ^_^

A minor change: messages--whether informative or narrative--now act as modal dialogues, pausing
the game until the player indicates that they're done.

Procedural flowers.🌼
Colour is static in the video simply because my test-program doesn't have a colour-selector.
(There's a bit of jankiness, but I'm hoping that this won't be all that noticeable at the intended scale.)

I imagine that most of you who are non-game-devs, and some of you who are game-devs, likely do not know the relief and gladness that I feel at having--I believe--at last found a decent-looking, performant approach to grass for Moons in Crystal. ^^;

A screenshot from the work-in-progress video-game "Moons in Crystal". Specifically, it shows a view from within the Plant Moon. In this case, the player finds themselves at the end of a corridor of verdancy, with a mesh of thick branches for a floor and lush plant-life filling out the walls. Behind, the corridor has a trailing carpet of flowers, and a few vines stretch above. Ahead lies a small clearing or "room", containing a large bulb-like plant. The foliage behind that plant sports flowers. To one side of the "room", however, a "wall" appears more brown and lifeless than most...
