It would have been nice to have some more information on what &quot;evolution&quot; was happening. Also, maybe some way of passively interacting with the world (maybe having some control over the environment)."},{"author_name":"TiagoJDFerreira","author_uid":"45461","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 9:37am","epoch":1418290320,"text":"This is an interesting project, but not an interesting game. One important element in game design is to give agency to the player, this means making their choices meaningful. In this game I start the population, but that has little effect on how things turn out. This could be the basis for a game, but not a game in itself."},{"author_name":"pjimmy","author_uid":"40339","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 10:35am","epoch":1418293800,"text":"very interesting, it's a concept that could be developed further, maybe making the dots converging into clusters."},{"author_name":"Tasteslikefuture","author_uid":"44588","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 10:56pm","epoch":1418338260,"text":"Absolutely mesmerizing.
