What is Synthetic Selection? Game Dev Log 0

Procedural animation is the way, it looks amazing and the idea of being able to gather parts from bosses to then build your own machines sounds exciting and rewarding. I was getting little worried after no updates for such a long time but its good to know game is still in the works

Wow, this looks very intriguing! I think you could definitely add a Rain World-esque element to it and make the world it's own ecosystem.

I miss devs that mainly focused on physics and gameplay mechanics trying something new and experiment.....this looks amazing, cant wait to play it

That one clip of the blue orb player rolling around, and suddenly extending tendrils to start moving by swinging is legitimately some of the coolest content I've seen. That's trailer-worthy. I'll definitely be following this. The rest of the footage looks stunning, and I'm really excited to see where it'll all go.

This guy just casually dropping one of the most ambitious projects I’ve ever seen

It may feel like a passion project but dude you've seriously struck gold with this one! Best of luck to you on your dev journey, I hope to see your games in the big leagues soon.

Can't wait to play this! Been following this since 2020 and I am as hyped as ever!

Oh. My. God. This is by far the most unique take on a game that I’ve ever seen, and at the same time it looks like exactly what’s been missing in the gaming world… amazing.

this is without a shadow of a doubt one of the coolest games/game concepts i've seen in a very long time.

This is honestly the most stunning and interesting idea I've seen in a LONG time. Definitely going to keep my eye on this for a WHILE!

I love that you can use the tools your enemies have when you beat them. Reminds me of a game called TerraTech

I’ve been following this game for a while, but seeing this vehicle building system has got me insanely hyped. I’ve been dreaming about this sort of thing for years but haven’t had the game dev skills to make it, so seeing someone do it with such incredible execution has got me so excited

As someone that is a huge fan of spore-like games, you have me hooked. I will be keeping a close eye on this games development and i can almost guarantee you that i will get the full release. Im definitely making sure i keep track of the dev logs. Good luck on the long journey that is game development, hoping to see synthetic selection on steam!

The creative, technical, and artistic execution of this absolutely ingenious concept has completely blown my mind.

as a biotechnologist this is AWESOME, i love it. you indeed took inspiration from life. keep doin it! nature can give you even more inspiration! i can give you some bio facts to think about for more content, environment and mechanics for this future masterpiece: *plants* are also alive, some of them react to *sound* as other organisms would do. viruses multiply using and consuming other organisms. Cordiceps are real shrooms. ants are almost a smart hivemind, they organize farms, graveyards, and alliances. they expand their territory with time but they move following others' path with chemicals. they re constantly in war with other ants' spieces. in an ecosystem, if there are few plants, herbivores can t reach a big number and carnivores will have an hard time. plants have an enormous variety of defense systems, from simbiosis with carnivores, to cannibalism inducing chemicals for insects. there would be more. hopefully you get some inspiration from these!

I absolutely cannot wait to see how this turns out , im just a massive sci fi merd, especially for speculative biology and the way it could interact with technology. The artstyle and sheer scale is incredible

I remember watchig your work some years ago and I'm so happy that i got some new on that! I have a little request, if You care to listen. When you eventually release the game, could You please include a gamemode/campaign resembling some of the older posts? I mean a shooter, where you, a human-like creature fight some majestic monsters. To be honest, this is what interests me the most. I understand that the point of the game is supposed to be centered around creation using gradually inreasing understanding of the systems, but I think that such gamemode with pre-made content, that the player can immediately consume would be nice and motivating. Anyway, I wish You a good day (:

This looks amazing. The way those tentacle monsters move and attack is terrifying. The grappling hook movement looks fantastic fun. The gameplay footage is addictive to watch

Dude PLEASE don’t give up on this, this looks absolutely fascinating to me, and something I could very easily fall in love with. KEEP YOUR DREAMS ALIVE PLEASE!!!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, the way these tentacles have such cinematic movements has me in awe I just hope theres harder difficulty options, I want a challenge and to truly master these mechanics because they look really really fun
