Thrive
tl;dr: a better Spore
From the site:
Thrive is a free, open-source game about the evolution of life.
From the lowly tidepools of your home planet, you will rise to cosmic dominance. At every step, powerful creation tools and deep simulation mechanics will aid your species’ development. Revolutionary Games is the open-source team of dedicated volunteers aiming to make Thrive a reality.
Our team seeks to accomplish two major goals: create engaging, compelling gameplay that respects our players’ intelligence, and remain as accurate as possible in our depiction of known scientific theory without compromising the former.
As a past spore player i really wished something like this existed earlier.
If you like that kind of stuff, check out The Sapling, which is being developed and devlogged by this cool nerdy dude who I think is dutch.
The game is like an "eco dwarf-fortress" evolution simulator, and it's been amazing to follow the development of.
Seem's awesome, sadly not open source but it has an appeal.
