I still have the two Artificial Life volumes from the Santa Fe Institiute proceedings from 1989. Alien Life looks like you could easily get lost in another world with this simulation. I remember awaiting the game Spore with music by Brian Eno was being created with lots of pre-release press in 2007 / 2008. A lot of cross- disciplined talents were hovering around this field back then and emergent behavior was diffusing into all topics of conversation. Good times.

- colordrops 2y agoSeems that Spore still has some life. My 12yo asked if he could get it on Steam, and loves playing it. No idea where he heard about it.
- Rhapso 2y agoNobody has made a game quite like it since. Its also really 5 games glued together with different levels of quality. Lots of replay value.
- pennomi 2y agoThe creature builder was lovely, but everything else ended up really shallow. I’m honestly shocked no one has redone Spore, but with more modern game design polish.
- acureau 2y agoI've thought the same for some time now, it would do very well I think. The balance between the stages in Spore was way off. You could get all the way to space in like 4 hours, but I never could beat the final stage.
- eggy 2y agoI would definitely be up for a new Spore-like game with a dash of Bioshock. There are not enough "wet" games out there vs. hard sci-fi, fps, or space games.
