Perché l'accesso anticipato?

“EvoLife is an ambitious evolution simulation project. Simulating life on a cell level with realistic hard body and fluid physics is an experiment enabled by leading edge technologies. By the nature of the tech stack used it is difficult to debug, and I need your help to catch the bugs that slipped by. As a sandbox game each and every gamer plays it a little bit differently. I'm excited to see how others play with it and develop tools and features to make any style of play smooth and free flowing. My goal is to be able to reliably evolve multicellular organisms from different starting points. Currently there are cells connecting in the style of filamentous algae but no real cell differentiation is happening.
I came a long way during these years developing my hobby project, my dream, my vision. I will continue to work on it. I am going to make it work and I am going to make it blazing fast. I dream of a big big digital aquarium with millions and millions of cells, thousands of multi-cellular organisms coexisting with the simplest unicellular life forms peacefully living day by day as a main decorative element of my living room.”

Per quanto tempo questo gioco rimarrà in accesso anticipato?

“Early Access is expected to last 18 to 24 months.”

Quali saranno le differenze fra la versione completa e quella in accesso anticipato?

“Additional features I want to implement for the 1.0 version:
- cells producing biominerals (shells, bones, houses)
- cells healing
- more simulation constans settable from gui
- cells transporting energy and hormones trough connections
- organelles depending on other organelles already present (organelle lvl up tree)
- better cell decision visualization
- more intuitive gui”

Qual è lo stato attuale della versione in accesso anticipato?

“It is fully playable. You can create a world (settable size), generate a 2d landscape using the built in perlin noise based world generator or build it by hand yourself, the world is interactive and editable. You can view and edit species dna, add cells with different dnas to the world, and watch them prosper or perish depending on the environment you created. You can turn on evolution, which randomly mutates (parameters settable) the dna of the cells. You can save your game state and load it back.”

Il prezzo del gioco varierà durante e dopo l'accesso anticipato?

“I plan to gradually raise the price as features are implemented.”

Come pensi di coinvolgere la Comunità durante il processo di sviluppo?

“I want to create a passionate community and involve people by listening to their feedback and bug reports, identify different play styles and focus development to support each of them.”
