I will never say no to another evolution sim.
❤️
an evo sim where plants and animals are starting off as the same sludge, *PLUS* having sludge fed by volcanic activity??? Oh hell yeah.
I cant wait till this gets to a point to simulate stuff like exoplanet sub ice oceans as well as traditional ecologies. Definitely watching your career with great interest now
Thank you!
Love the idea of simulating evolution in a non-earth like setting so that's definitely on the list!
Well that's a huge improvement man, im still here to support brotha 😅 Keep ut up!
Thank you!
this shit is so cool, I absolutely *LOVE* evo sims, Just sitting back and watching as life evolves into specialized forms is amazing for me.
Glad you like it!
I love these types of programs, interested to see what more comes of this project!
Thank you!
bro this is so bad ass the way it is, I would keep this, IT hits SOOOO hard!
Thank you!
i love these kinds of projects! in it's current state it is visually a bit overwhelming though.
Thanks! Will definitely play around with the graphics to try and make things clearer
cant wait to see more this is such a cool system and it would be cool to see them maybe modularly evolve
Thank you! But just wondering what modular evolution means?
@@OfficialEvoSimI think they mean as in body parts can by altered by evolution. new parts, destroyed parts, fused parts (if it is very segmented like a bug or spine). even size and position. and these could change their performance
Ah right that makes sense!
I don't think there are enough games like this. I cant wait to see more. This is going to be something special.
Thank you!
@evosim2072 Thank you! You can kinda gloat that I have been with UA-cam Premium since it came out. And my account is even years older than that. My point is, you are the only channel in my UA-cam history that I have actually hit the notification bell. 🔔 Take that how you will. 🤓
I honestly really appreciate it! Thank you!
Yeah the biggest issue with watchign this is just the sheer amount of stuff on the screen. Its definitely a confusing setup. Other thne that, the amount of creatures you have is insane, and was a really insane amount of Agents. Your plants feel likes plants which is good too.
Thank you! Will look into hopefully making it less confusing
@@OfficialEvoSim Yeah, I do hope to see more improvments with your sim. And hope to play it eventually. I do love Alife projects
This is kinda cool! As a project developer, I'd love to know more on how it works. :D
Thank you! Happy to make a follow up video explaining more
Great work, keep it up!
Thank you!
Good video, music is a bit loud but im excited for more
Oops 😅
Thanks for the show of interest!
How did this channel dodge my side of algorithm for a month
Glad you like it! :)
had the same thing! I love evolution stuff like this, but for some reason youtube decided to not give me this for so long
I’m would love to see a video highlighting all the main forms the evolution became
Good idea! I'll work it!
Coo video but the the simulation is a bit confusing (=there is too much on the screeb and also the camera is moving through the terrain) would reccomend making the camera look a bit more from the top
Good idea! - I will try implementing it
Increasing FOV would probably be good
You could add selection pressures that are randomly evolved such as plant colour that can affect the way the animals in that environment will evolve to create different microsystems around the map.
factors could be things like the rain, heat, height, wind which can affect things like plant height, certain sizes of body parts etc.
I expect that would be pretty hard to implement but from what you've done it looks great so far
The wind and rain already have an effect on plants, as in windy weather can knock plants over and flooding can also kill them, any other ideas I'd love to try and add!
Temperature is a good idea, can't belive I forgot about it XD
Like for example:
- evolution 1, fish
- evolution 2, land dwellers
Etc
Predator vs prey mechanics. Larger Predators are more dangerous, but smaller prey species could maybe be able to burrow and make dens underground. But you could also have snake like creatures evolve to be able to hunt underground natural caves of all sizes and prey dens. Then a biological arms race starts. Venom, claws, jaws, armor. Small flyers, they have to evolve from jumping from tree to tree all the way to flight. Just throwing out anything I personally would like to see in this kind of game. Im sure ill think of more 😂
Definitely will try to add all these since they are all vegetarian for now! Great ideas thanks!
I think you should add animals eating each other, but first you need to optimize.
For example, I saw many stutterings in the recording which could be because of garbage collection, and distracted me very much.
I also think the art style is very hard to read, and could be simplified or could be clearer.
Otherwise, this is a very impressive project. Good job!
Thanks for the optimisation tips, will definitely look into them!
OH MY GOD! I wish you THE VERY best on creating this. Thing of my dreams!
Thank you!
I absolutely love this! Visually, though, it does seem a bit hard to tell what's happening. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why that is. But I do think one of the main issues might be the variation in color among different body segments. I guess you could address that by assigning organisms a primary and secondary color, possibly incorporating patterns to maintain that feeling of diversity (if that's what you're going for)?
But honestly, it's not a huge thing. Can't wait to see where you take this :]
Oh and BTW, love the art style itself, it's really nice!
Also you mentioned early land plants relying on moist environments, have you considered having that apply to the creatures as well/does it already?
Thank you!
Definitely working on making objects more visually distinct and I'll try incorporating your suggestions for next time since they sound good.
And thanks for suggesting adding moisture requirements for animals too, completely forgot about that!
This is awesome! The simulation is solid and art style is charming, reminds me of SimEarth. I really vibe with the cute fishes and the procedural trees all being unique as per how they evolve. Definitely excited to see where this project goes.
What would seal the deal from a user perspective 3D free rotating camera. The forced perspective approach that you have done shows it's possible, though from experience, I do realize performing rotations is a little magic. The difficulty of adding that depends on the the engine, of course, but even doing a simple voxel greedy mesh for the terrain and camera facing sprites for the creatures and plants would do wonders for readability. Quaternions and crazy matrix math non-withstanding ;)
Thank you! Will definitely look into making the camera more flexible
cool bro, i like the sim
Thank you!
This looks amazing! Keep it up! Im trying to work up a project like this but using machine learning and its constraints.
Thank you! And that sounds really cool!
Very good
Thank you!
Will this be a downloadable simulator? If so is there any estimated time till then?
Ultimately yes, but I have no timeline for that at the moment
0:21 it Iooks great to be honest but the maps arrows are kind of an eyesore with the coIors they are maybe change the coIor to orange or something.😅
I'll try playing around with the colours 👀
looks really really cool
Thank you!
this is actually how i see btw ^_^
😂
Loved the video but couldn't help but notice the name of the music you used 💀
Thank you!
I dont really understand whats happening, but super cool regardless!
Thank you!
which tech stack do people like you use to make such simulations ?
I use PyGame
That's nice!
Thank you!
My suggestion would be to revamp or improve the art the idea is really cool but this was hard to watch
Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely play around with the art style to hopefully make things clearer
Download?
Not yet as it's still under development for now!
@@OfficialEvoSim ok😃
