yeah man, i actually really think we could make it work. i never played
spore but followed it hoping it would be kinda like this... I watch a lot
of nature shows and love the elegance of the planet and how many specialized
creatures there are for various locations and how the world and life
adapts... i think it would be amazing to set something like that up and then
just let it run for awhile and see what "evolves" - i was thinking gameplay
wise maybe you could play as a human that lands on an alien world and you
have to fend for yourself, make shelter, hunt, explore. etc. or make it
like pokemon snap where not only do you do that, but you chronicle what you
find... i dont know if that sounds fun but even as an intellectual exercise
i think it'd be awesome and maybe someone would want it just for testing
stuff - like it could be a science/educational app :)
