Im hard at work implementing cross platform support for 0.11.1, with the assistance of a few volunteers (thank you to Jared, Kristen and Ewery!). We have a very promising Linux build that works on our test system, and Im working on getting the Mac build going! In the meantime, Ive also been doing some optimization and polish work. The next version, whether its 0.11.1 and includes cross platform support or 0.11.0.17 and doesnt, should run faster and have fewer rough edges all round. Lookin at you, nursery water fog. Ive also had time to pay a bit of attention to the longer term balance and survival strategy game as it currently stands, and theyre fun to discuss even if I havent started work on them. So... further thoughts over here on the blog: https://speciesdevblog.wordpress.com/2018/10/18/carnivory-habitability-niches-and-cross-platform-support/ Cheers, Qu

- Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution Linux Depot [1.44 G]
Variation
- Every creature is uniquely defined by its genes.
Mutation
- Child creatures are slightly randomly modified versions of their parent(s).
Natural Selection
- The environment affects every creature in their struggle to survive.
Observe or Guide
Whether you just want to observe, watch and study as the tree of life constructs itself from a single species, or you want to be an active influence on the development of the species in the game, the choice is up to you! Take a hands-on approach by using the nursery, an isolated area where you can tinker with the gene pool to your heart’s content. Use rovers to decide which creatures get to eat today and which ones starve! Create global catastrophes like an ice-age or a world-spanning flood to weed out the most vulnerable species. Or simply sit back and watch the life-and-death saga unfold!Tell Your Story
However you treat your evolutionary sandbox, we give you the tools to tell it’s story! View every single evolutionary step in detail using the clade diagram, see where each species are living using the satellite map, get a better picture of how varied your gene pool actually is with the web of life, and view every possible detail on each creature using the creature inspection tools.- OS: Ubuntu 12.04 or higherMemory: 600 MB RAMStorage: 500 MB available space
