Intelligent Design: An Evolutionary Sandbox

A toy ecosystem with fully simulated genetics and evolution. Will you tinker with DNA or sit back, relax, and see if life finds a way?

For a while Dave and I have been trying to figure out what we could do community wise with Intelligent Design. With our other game Cycle 28 we always try to post the monthly leader boards to encourage some friendly competition. That kind of thing doesn't fit with Intelligent Design since it's meant to be a relaxed experience. Something I often do is look through the community screenshots of ID on steam. I know some people disagree but I genuinely love the look of this game, and clearly people have put the effort into taking great shots of their evolving worlds. ...so I thought I would try to set aside some time each month to pick out a couple of shots I really like and share them with you. I probably won't write too much, but just share these shots. Feel free to discuss them in the comments!

This one caught my eye simply because of all the plants! Over 8000! ... and not a single carnivore - clearly a vegan world.

The green glow from the buildings, eggs and creatures on the floor, seeds flying in the background.

Seeds so big and with so much drag they never fall to the ground... Is it a bug or a feature? I'll let you decide!
