Overview

Ecosystem isn't just a video game version of the laws of ecology with pre-made fish models.

Key Features

• The simulation actually determines the creatures in the game: their bodies, how they swim, and how they think and behave.
• All the creatures in the trailer evolved on their own in the game; none were hand-edited!
• Features Virtual creatures evolve on their own to adapt to an environment you createAt Ecosystem's heart are evolving virtual lifeforms, who grow from synthetic DNA and live in a physically-simulated ocean.
• This synthetic DNA encodes everything about a creature, from skeletal structure to skin, from joint-types to mental processes.

Gameplay

The genetic code of a creature can mutate, combine, be spliced with other species, and be directly modified by the player. Creatures' nervous systems evolve along with their bodiesCreature brains are also encoded in DNA and subject to evolution. The neurology of a virtual lifeform is a pipeline computer where, every moment, data from sense organs is passed through a network of neurons and finally contracts a muscle in a specific body part.
