Most of you probably don't know about this game, but it looks utterly amazing. Itâs being created by Will Wright who also created the Sims and Sim City.
Anyways, the game is pretty epic in scope. I'll try to explain it, but I suck at explaining things so just bear with me..
You start off as a single celled organism and have to go around eating smaller organisms while avoiding the larger ones. It's like Pac-man at this stage.. nothing to exciting yet, I know. Anyway, with each new generation, your cell evolves, eventually to a multi-celled organism. From here, you get fins and gills and all that. You evolve a bit more and eventually evolve enough to become a land based creature. From here, you go around trying to survive long enough until your species can evolve into a sentient being. Once you gain enough intelligence to form a tribe, you have to compete with other tribes of different species or different civilizations of your own species. Its kind of like the game civilization at this stage. you have to build cities and wage wars with the other civilizations. Once your species becomes smart enough, it becomes capable of space travel. At this point, you can build a UFO and use it to get some revenge on the remaining civilizations of your planet. You can travel to different planets in your solar system with the UFO. In time, you species develops hyper drive technology and you can travel to other solar systems (thereâs thousands of planets in the game, some barren with no life while others are teeming with life..). From this point, you can go around conquering the universe or go about making peace.. whatever you want really. You can build colonies on other worlds, blow up planets, whatever.
Best thing of all about this game is that you can mold your creature in any way possible. The game has no preset animations, it's all done through code. What this means is that as your creature evolves, you mold it to look how you want it to look. The game will then generate animations for it on the fly. Since the creature files are so small (they're around 1kb each), this allows them to upload your creature to a server and send it out to other peoples games. Your world is actually populated with other peoples creatures..
And there.. that was my long ass description of the game that was probably painful to read. here are some links on the game...
