I have a suggestion but it may be a little difficult to implement. What if subterranean life was added? I was thinking viewing underground tunnels and cafe systems could be a similar function to moving through levels of a house in the Sims 4. There could be burrowing behaviors and such and then some that permanently live underground. It could be a way animals and plants combat heat and predation.

this is awesome! The way I got here was I had the idea "I wonder if we could use AI and video game engines to simulate evolution" and I'm extremely pleased to see that people way smarter than me with more experience have done exactly that! I simply typed into KZread "has anyone simulated evolution on a computer" and your video came up awesome. I do kind of feel bad that I'm not the first person to come up with the idea... but I want to say to you "geniuses think alike" lol

Haha good to hear the algorithm thought of me there ;). Also, don't let the fact that other people already tried it to discourage you from giving your own spin on it... and if you do and want people to spread the word, let me know.

Ecosystem/evolution simulators like this are my favorite kinds of games! I'll definitely be buying this once I get my PC back

I've always been captivated by Spore because of its evolution process. Years later, I found the KZreadr Primer and his videos documenting AI simulations, which intrigued me. And now here I am watching a video game project with both of those things combined. I'm always curious about what a random evolution simulation would do. Definitely subbing!!

This series is what got me to buy the game. It's an amazing concept and very fun. Please, do more. And some guides. Getting creatures to evolve in all different kinds of ways is difficult for me right now. They turn out mostly the same for me. 😆

Hey AI zone, thanks for your suggestion! Any ideas on how that would work in terms of computer power? I guess the only way would be to fake things, to prevent everyone's machine catching fire?

I was hoping that a video like this was made! I always adored the other evolution history videos that you made for the sapling, and seeing a series dedicated to that part of the game makes me so happy. I don't have a PC, so youtube content is the only way that I can look into stellar games like this. Thank you so much! I hope the series continues!

I have just bought your game a couple of hours ago and I have instantly loved it. Keep up the good work and I hope you continue to work on this game for years to come.

I've been playing the game for a while now and I was wondering if eventually you would add pre-sets for planet creation. Like some pre-made environments for playing around with, as i've found it hard to make an environment suited for what I want to do.

Extinction events would be a cool addition to the game. There is a random chance (say 0.1% per in game year, probably longer) that some natural disaster would happen, like an asteroid strike or sudden warming or cooling of the climate. For long evolution simulations it would be interesting to see how life evolves to these sudden changes, and what species don't make it Another addition could be different types of body plans. There would be the basic, fleshy one, but you could also have insect-like body plans with exoskeletons, or shelled creatures. Each type of body would have different types of unique legs, eyes, etc. Yet another idea! Continental drift (that one's pretty self-explanatory)

THE RETURN OF THE KING!!!

dude I love your game keep it up.

Great video

Idea: maybe something like a fungus that grows on animal corpses, or maybe also tree corpses(would require implementing tree corpses/dead wood), deriving nutritional value from the corpse in exchange for only being able to do that where the corpse it's specialized to feed off of is present. Or something like a parasitic plant that feeds off of a larger plant? I could imagine an organism that possesses multiple 'root' equivalent systems, so that it can do things like grow more rapidly/reproduce more when feeding off of another plant/dead wood, then it would either die out or root on its own. I'm also just thinking of this exact simulation, but is there any way for an animal with eyes to tell a corpse and a red plant apart from eachother? Or is it all the same 'move towards red' programming that can produce both types of end destination, regardless of what they have mouths for, once they develop eyes.

@TheSapling

Hey Graeme, thanks for writing down your ideas! Without making promises, your thinking of an organism that blurs the boundaries between plants and fungi is refreshing for me :). And yes, there is also a possible instinct 'if you see meat, go towards it', although I didn't see it during this run.
