Of course, this would then beg the question of whether non-toxic animals can adopt the same coloring to receive the same benefits, as well as a toxin resistance system.

Awesome update! Really like the new shader/textures and the sub-slot system! One thought: It might be cool if you found a way to make "attractiveness" more subjective. I believe in nature, what one species considers "attractive" may have nothing to do with what another species considers "attractive". If I understand correctly, your setup has an objective/unchanging method of scoring attractiveness, but this won't evolve creatures that are attracted to each other while looking ugly to us humans, for example...

@Germanunkol3 ай бұрын
@@TheSapling I'm no biologist, so this may be wrong or overly simplified, but I think attractiveness in its simplest form could be considered one of two things: a) Things that seem to indicate that an individual is fit for reproduction (healthy look, for example) or b) over-expression of some otherwise useless feature, which to the potential male indicates "I'm healthy enough to be able to spend energy on growing this useless thing". a) May be difficult to convey to the player and is probably unnecessarily difficult. But b) sounds like it may be relatively easy to implement in your system. If you estimate a cost/benefit ratio of all body parts for a creature then you can set the attractiveness to be equal to the excessive expression of those body parts/features. This should automatically lead to those features being expressed more in future generations and should work directly with the current system (I imagine most features explained in this video would just have a high cost/benefit ratio which would automatically make them useful mainly in terms of attractiveness - but it would no longer be exclusively these features that contribute to attractiveness)

I think it's a bit limiting for creatures to require legs or fins for movement. What if we had a system where, if a creature doesn't have legs or fins, its speed is determined by the number of body segments? For example, its speed could be calculated to be five times slower per body segment than it would be per leg. This way, you could design creatures like snakes or slugs. Additionally, there could be a special type of body part that attaches to the bottom of the creature and secretes mucus, similar to how slugs move. This part wouldn't be affected by the creature's weight, but it would also make the creature very slow.

I know one thing that a lot of people have requested is the ability to make limbless animals. I want to build on this, and say that the ability to locomote limblessly should be tied to certain skin types. As an example, one kind of skin could be slimy, with a built-in muscular “foot” like those found in gastropods. Another kind of skin could be smooth scales, inspired by snakes, which could handle hot environments better than the slimy skin, along with having better mobility, at the cost of higher energy consumption.

Attractivness in nature & history is almost alway based on a factor that corelates to succes. (Mostly because the young of the females that didnt find succes attractive died off). Hence times in medivial history where obesity was considerd attractive.(obess=not starving witch was a pretty rare and great at times where starvation was a leading cause of death) Being pretty is a testament to 2 differant things; 1 you eat well(otherwise byebye pretty colour/texture). 2 you must be pretty skilled at surviving since you look like the jackpot of mugging target. I am worried for the games ballence tho since from a non evolving beauty standard point of view any thing below max out beauty would be unviable forcing species into taking harmfull atractive traits over benificial ones. Potentialy leading to repeated mass instincion.

Glad to have stumbled upon this. This game looks like it might be my jam, and the way you talk through the development process is enlightening and entertaining. You talked a bit about sacrificing player control for the sake of better gameplay, and that's a part of game design that has always interested to me. It's a difficult balance to get right, especially in games with any kind of customisation; it can be frustrating for some players when they start creating something with a vision in mind, only to discover that it just isn't possible to use the game's tools in the way they thought they could. For stuff like the fins that can only be a certain shape when placed on specific body locations, have you considered a potential compromise in the form of some kind of cheat code or hidden option that lets the player put them wherever they want? That way, by default players must work within the game's systems and compromise in creative ways to get around restrictions, but more experienced players or those who just want to get really into the creature creation aspect have the option to use a little more freedom. Think about how the Sims games restrict where players can place objects in order to guarantee their buildings are actually functional, but Sims builders regularly enable the cheats that let them get around this for the sake of creating really unique builds that would not be possible ordinarily. Or how in Spore players use cheats to make creatures far more elaborate than what the game's complexity restrictions normally allow. Just something I thought could be neat.

Small correction on your explanation for why males tend to have more display features: it's not the time females put in, but the resources. In species where reproduction is more costly for males (such as some insects or birds where the male raises the young) the males end up being the selective and drabber sex. Even though it obviously takes the female quite some time to produce offspring, the male uses more resources so has more to lose by dying prematurely without passing on his genes.

I'm a bit worried that this means every animal is going to evolve into a parade float because atractiveness is just how many decorations are on your body and every animal is going to want to be the most atractive. You need to implement an advantage to being unatractive too. Like maybe more atractive pray animals get eaten first by predators because they're easier to spot and atractive predators struggle to get any kills because they get seen by their prey. This won't outright stop atractive animals from existing but it will mean they'll only become purely decorative if it is safe to do so. In other areas they'll balance being noticably defended with being ignorably plain. This will help to make different parts of a world look like different ecosystems. Safe in the rainforrests you'll get lots of colourful birds but out in the savanah everyone will just be brown or gray.

And it's entirely possible you could use alternation of generations and have these things be the larval stage of some creature. 2. Anglerfish reproduction is metal. The male essentially becomes an organ of the female. How gross is that! :D 3. Some species of pacman frog can suspension feed like a rotifer. Their tadpoles got these funky 4 lobed mouths. I just think they're neat 4.

Every new update adds so much content here and Im super excited to get my hands on it.

Another thing you might want to add is a sort of duel mechanic, where 2 animals of gender b fight eachother for gender a or something similar.

Will attractiveness also attract the predictors too? I love the body part changing depending on what area you add it. I'm loving these dev logs, but I also fear there may be too much choice and not enough structure. Having the body part be specific to an area is structure I appreciate.

805 / 5.000 I am amazed at how much effort you put into your project, really impressive. 😍 After the question at the beginning of the video, I would have thought that a female would choose the healthiest male. Not the one with the most HP, otherwise the simulation would only tend towards "who has the highest HP value" over time. But rather towards who has the largest percentage left. That mean 70%, 82%, 95% or 100% of their maximum HP. Of course I can see, why giving points to attractive body parts, but what if they are worn out, crooked or even broken off (so not 100% HP). Then the partner would have a smaller chance of being chosen. Bright colors "Super" if the partner is sick the color fades. (Not 100% HP) Sound: Loud means healty, quiet not healty. Many creatures show how healthy they are by courting the female. The potential partner could not run away fast enough, he lacks on aerodynamics and took damage. Great Video👍

Without making promises, I think this is an excellent idea.

What I'd love to see is some more parts from popular world building projects. For instance the Isla project. Platyphites for instance. Small round plates of plants that grow on the ground instead of grass. Or maybe infrared plates for eyes for creatures. Or hydraulic legs. Or proboscies. That would really make this my favourite sim. Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion! There already a few spec evo parts, but I'd love to add more!

In stead of dotts for the stats, maybe try a spider/radar graph. Like the effort values in the pokemon games
