Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have designed a complex and involved physics-sandbox that produces living things. Now we need player feedback to turn it into a *gaming experience*. Furthermore, we need to finish some core features that do not affect the main gameplay loop.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“One to two years, depending on how long it takes to implement artificial evolution (AI is a finicky thing).”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The main feature we plan to introduce is the recombination engine - an AI that will analyse genetic data and produce new species from parental chromosomes, facilitating artificial evolution. The same engine will allow players to experiment with genetic engineering.
We also plan to include multiplayer functionality: space travel for both players and their lifeforms, mechanical interactions between space-capable customizable player bodies, and a global dynamic ecosystem where new species appear every day.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It's got a complete gameplay loop, a fully functional artificial ecosystem, self-learning AI for the virtual lifeforms, editors for building and training organisms and their nervous systems...we hope to facilitate a regular supply of new species via cloud storage in the near future, but new chromosomes will still appear semi-regularly.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to raise the price by 25% when exiting Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'll do our best to listen - this game will never be for everyone, but for those who like it - we will make you like it even more. Join our Discord server to participate in the development process.”

About This Game

This game is a virtual aquarium \ petri dish.
Pick whichever description speaks to your <3:

1. You get to design virtual lifeforms - their bodies, nervous cells, muscle fibers.
Train their AI, carry out experiments in a 3D physics simulation, in real time, on your PC.
If they then survive in a shared environment, amongst species made by other players,
Your organisms get to spread to thousands of other singleplayer worlds...and you get a cut of everything they eat!

2. You are tasked with growing and developing a virtual ecosystem.
You will create safe, warm currents to grow digital jellyfish,
Architect growbeds for virtual seaweed, safe hunting grounds for baby sharks,
Select species of plants and predators that coexist well together...watch your digital ecosystem flourish!

Oh, and every process \ mechanic is physically represented - you need to fly through
space to explore multiplayer, send spacecraft carrying your organisms' genetic material
to infect other players with it, seek energy sources to power your experiments...

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This software analyses virtual lifeforms created by players to learn winning strategies and produce creatures of its own design. Although it uses human genetic code as a base for creation, it differes from AI-generated media in two key ways:
1. Optimisation instead of mimicry. AI-gen "art" tries to mimic human art. This software will take practical advice to develop its own creative sensibilities and go beyond.
2. Self-sufficience. AI-gen needs humans to work. This software can develop its genome without human materials, and will eventually use its own creations' data for analysis, becoming independent.
