Today, the main theme of The Sapling was officially released on SoundCloud. It's an attempt to mix an ambient music like sound with a recognizable melody - and if you listen carefully, you will indeed recognize this same melody throughout the game. Have a listen on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/wesselstoop/the-sapling-main-theme . Because I would very much like to encourage covers and remixes of this material, I also release sheet music and the separate layers of music used in the main theme.
To further encourage other people playing with the material, I will hand out free Steam keys for every serious cover and remix attempt . E-mail me at thesaplinggame@gmail.com .

The Sapling Linux [149.82 M]
Features
- Design plants and animals.
- Fast-forward time to and watch the ecosystem work like a charm or slowly fall apart (probably the latter :) ).
- A sandbox mode where you can skip time and turn on random mutation, allowing true evolution.
- An instinct system where you can specify what an animal should do when it hears or sees something.
- A procedural animation system so any animal can perform any animation.
- Procedural music mixed on the fly.
- Everything set up to be easily extended by players.
This looks just like Spore!
Wessel Stoop has wanted to play a simulation game where you can build your own plants and animals, put them in a world, and see what happens since 2002. You can imagine his excitement when Will Wright, the father of simulation games, demoed his latest game Spore to an enthusiastic crowd. When Spore turned out to be all game genres except simulation, Wessel decided he wanted to try to make the game by himself. The Sapling is the result of that attempt.
