Announcing the next big update in a series of 6 video devlogs!

The next big update to indie evolution sim The Sapling is planned for June 15. The new feature set will gradually be revealed in the form of 6 weekly devlogs, starting today. This first week, temperature ranges for animals are introduced, meaning that animals can no longer live anywhere. Instead, they will need fur, scales or feathers, or special bodyparts to lose heat. Furthermore, we see how skin patterns like stripes and spots are added. [previewyoutube=9KCOh7d5qbw;full][/previewyoutube]

    • The Sapling Linux [149.82 M]
  • Public Linux depots

    • The Sapling is a short simulation game where you design your own plants and animals, and put them in a world together. Or you turn on random mutations, and see what evolution does to your ecosystem!

    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.
