At the moment, the content of the next big update is being revealed step by step on the The Sapling YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSapling . The most recent video saw the announcement of the name of the update: Scary & sexy, including both horror elements and elements related to sexual reproduction. We are only halfway though: only 3 out of the 6 devlogs for this seasons have aired at the time of writing. The update will be available on the beta branch on October 31. It usually takes about 2 months before it's stable enough to be released to everyone on the main branch.

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.
