Re: Flora

Cultivate your own island ecosystem — a meditative voxel gardening game.

Re: Flora is a cozy voxel game prototype about shaping terrain, planting flora, and building a calm island atmosphere. Built with Vulkan ray tracing in Rust.

Getting Started

Prerequisites:

• Rust (latest stable)
• Vulkan-capable GPU with up-to-date drivers (RTX not required)
• Vulkan development packages:
  • Linux: libvulkan-dev + vulkan-tools (or distro equivalent)
  • Windows: Vulkan SDK

Build and run:

cargo run --release

The first build takes a while — shaders compile from source.

Controls

Basic controls:

• WASD to move.
• Space to jump.
• Shift to sprint.
• G to toggle walk/fly mode.
• E to toggle the config panel.
• Q to quit.

Most values can be tuned live from the config panel. Runtime defaults are stored in config/gui.toml.

Tech Stack

Domain	Crate
Rendering	ash (Vulkan) with ray tracing extensions
Windowing	winit
UI	egui
Audio	petalsonic
