I'm passing this along because lately the developers are trying to attract more people to be aware of the game/sim, and are having voting rounds (the Body Part Voting Competition Thingy or BPVCT) where you can vote on what sort of new creature body part you want to have in the game, a choice from four each round and you can suggest your own in the main area. Registration is free, no nonsense or anything, it's a fairly grassroots project like xenonauts, and download of the software is free at this early stage in development. This stage in development is part of improving looks of the creatures, among other things, you can subscribe to have the blog update right in your email when changes come along. What this thing is : Heard of Simlife, SimEarth, Spore, or other more obscure life simulators? Thinking along those lines, here is the website's description. "Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution is a scientifically-accurate natural-selection video game. It allows you to experience evolution first-hand, simulated from the very first principles of evolutionary science: Variation (every creature is uniquely defined by it’s genes), Mutation (child creatures are randomly modified versions of their parents), and Natural Selection (the environment affects every creature in their struggle to survive). With these principles as it’s gameplay mechanics, Species recreates the same unguided pressures that drove the development of all life on earth over the last 4 billion years. Whether you just want to observe, watching and studying as the tree of life constructs itself from a single species, or you want to be an active influence on the development of the species in the game, is up to you.
