| Updated Research Web |  Wed May 08, 2013 5:20 pm by NickTheNick | Okay guys, here is my first Devblog to fulfill my responsibility as Strategy Team lead.
Finally I have procured some work to show for my efforts in conceptualizing the Strategy Mode. The Research Web is a pivotal component of post-sapience gameplay, as it is what drives your species forwards from the Awakening stage to their final steps into Ascension. Through a graphing program, I have managed …

Scientists have theorized that if life is to happen on a planet it will happen within a couple hundred thousand years. If the chemicals are there, its not like they're just going to sit around for a few million years and then decide to create life. So, volcanic vents being meeting points for tons of different elements, I think that would be a pretty good place for life to spark. And there is a huge amount of energy coming out of there. So, life being life and finding pretty much every conceivable way to live possible, i'm sure they'd find a way to harvest that like they have on earth. So, I agree with that plan. |

| yes, I saw something on tv, that said volcanoes may have played a HUGE role in the creation of life on Earth, so underwater vents, are kinda like underwater volcanoes, in a way I guess. So I agree, that would be a good place to start.  what else would You guys like to mention? |

| Well, the microbes that live on earth's volcanic vents have a symbiotic relationship with a tubeworm that also lives there. They cover the tubeworms body to protect it from the intense heat and the tubeworm in turn gives them some of the nutrients it sifts from the nutrient-rich waters of the vent. Maybe it could be possible for you to form a symbiotic bond with some sort of animal or other cell. |

Symbiosis, specifically endosymbiotic theory, plays a big role in microbe stage._________________ Remember our goals: simplicity, science, and playability. Keep them in mind always. [OE]| [FAQ]|[Wiki]|[My Blog]  |

| I think Multicellular- and Aware-stage life should exist in the microbial stage if you play long enough. Thta way you could become some kind of parasite, which would be fun. |

Multicellular single cell? I don't think you would need to be an aware cell to become a parasite. Malaria has no idea what it's doing, but it's still a parasite. |

Malaria is a disease, it's literally DNA in a shell. When it infects someone it goes into their body, attaches itself to one their cells and gets that cell to start reproducing copies of itself. Imagine Mr. Smith from the Matrix.  |
You're thinking of a virus here. Viruses are just DNA (or RNA) in a protein coat that hijacks other cells to replicate itself. Malaria is caused by a parasite, a unicellular protist called plasmodium.
When we release multicellular, we'll probably introduce microbial biomes that are the skin and insides of multicellular organisms._________________ Remember our goals: simplicity, science, and playability. Keep them in mind always. [OE]| [FAQ]|[Wiki]|[My Blog] |

Ya, sorry, i'm tired today.  Anyways, when the cell starts out, will multi-cellular animals have already evolved? Because if they have, then later you also evolve into a multi-cellular organism, I mean, that wouldn't be very likely. I mean, that would be like two completely non-related fish both evolving into salamander-like creatures, it's like a one in a billion chance.  |

| Hey there guys so look, I am not happy at all with them so I will show only some. Here is the Cooker, Plater, Light Eater and the Defender. The little tubes of the cooker are not aligned, the light eater looks useless without a proper material and the plater isn't symetrical. I am only happy with the defender but I think it could be better.
3D Cells
Now I am entering the test weeks so I will be gone for some time, but after that is school's vacation and I will be here... a lot. |

HOLY BELGIUM!!!, those are 3D models? O_O |
