In the preparation for Natural Selection & Research 0.5 Update, all of claimed alpha keys without any reported alpha feedback have been pruned.
To our great surprise, the removed part was minority of claimed Creatura activations, and almost 60% of You have helped in some way by reporting bugs or giving other feedback. Thank You very, very much, we hope that special, Early Adopter version You'll keep, will be worth the time spent in early alpha Creatura releases!
As You might have noticed, the gap between version 0.46 and 0.5 is much longer than between earlier updates. This is mostly due to two huge new features in Creatura, GCAT DNA editor and specie discovery system, but also due to change in way we'll deliver updates from now on, focusing on big feature blocks followed with bugfixes and content updates, instead of small, and almost weekly incremental releases.
This time the big features are, as mentioned earlier, GCAT DNA editor, based on actual, state-of-the-art real life gene editing software, and a very robust and easy to use specie discovery system. While the later doesn't require any knowledge and just adds some flavor (and XP points), the DNA editor will test your aminoacids knowledge and general understanding of genome sequencing and editing process. We are serious, You'll need Wikipedia, gene editing is powerfull, but not easy.
Oh, and the natural selection is now enabled, there are reports of some new fancy finned flatworms swiming around. One would call it very fishy indeed...

Seed, Breed, Create.
From single cell organisms to complex ecosystems. Creatura is a virtual aquarium/terrarium tank to manage and simulate evolution from the very ground up. Every plant and animal inside takes part in natural and artificial selection, creating unlimited possibilities in simulating or recreating unique environments and pets, while being scientifically accurate with up-to-date biology research and helping to understand Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel great discoveries with simple and captivating gameplay.At The Beginning, There Was (Mostly) Water.
With empty vivarium tank at hand, start your journey to create thriving biomes using only time and artificial/natural selection mechanisms. Begin with single cyanobacteria to rush the botanical travel through algae, ferns, vines, grasses up to modern flowers and fruit trees, just by strategically taking plant cuttings, the same method agriculture used for last ten thousands of years. Every plant shape, colour and type is possibility, just wait for desired mutation to appear, take a clipping and plant it to create new and unique flora species.then, Wild Fish Appeared.
While some multicellular organisms thrive using only sun for photosynthesis, other quickly evolve ability to cannibalize living entities for energy. Where access to sunlight is unlimited, the algae will conquer ecosystem, but in other places, deep below, within abundance of decomposing biological material, the mighty proto-sponge will start the process of eumetazoic evolution. With Your guidance and just right conditions, the sponge will slowly free itself from ground and start the millennial crawl towards complex lifeforms. From that point, it's up to You to create and grow environment providing food and safety for one specie, while simultaneously crafting hunting grounds for others.then, Wild Fish Appeared.
the Ape That Ate the Fish.
After contemplating the cycle of life and beauty of it's creation - how about breaking it with science? Instead of waiting millennia for proper mutations randomly popping up, use in-game GCAT-DNA editor (based on state of art very real software used by modern scientists all over the world), sequence the genome, lookup DNA amino-acid groups on Wikipedia and play god... even more! While at it - claim the creations as new species, fill the animal and plant almanac with new entries, and create a unique life-tree. For the science! (And XP points, too)the Ape That Ate the Fish.
by the End, the Water Was Gone.
Whether You are completionist looking to unlock every specie and genus in game, or just casual player growing his own perfect virtual tank, Creatura provides relaxing gameplay, thousands of customization options and pleasant environment with limitless progress conditions. Play with your animals, trade plant cuttings, share tank designs and enjoy the unique digital world You've created from scratch, in the ultimate evolution vivarium experience.by the End, the Water Was Gone.
