I hadn't done a real creature compilation video in months, and there were enough new creatures produced since the last such video to make another.

This one has been churned out to celebrate Darwin Day, though I'm a few days early. Better that than late.

The music is clearly a little over the top, but what the hell. ;P

I hope you enjoy it, and Happy Darwin Day (Feb 12th) to everyone!

Thanks go to volunteers out there who have helped me and are continuing to help me with this project by donating many months of processing time.

  • Amazing stuff. Just boggles the mind the creatures you create.

  • @SnowWalkerPrime Thanks, man! They still surprise me sometimes. :)

  • So how far does the competition go? Do the creatures need food and have to eat each other? And congrats on doing all of this, it looks really cool.

  • @perrid13 Thanks a lot!

    This version has nothing at all like predation or food, but I might try some kind of one-on-one combat activity at some point :)

  • this is fucking awesome!!!!!

  • @prime342 Thanks a lot :)

  • 8 people only see moving shapes and not the logical principles behind them.

  • "Evelution has a goal"

    Perhaps EvElution does (whatever that is), but EvOlution doesn't. It's dumb chemistry. No purpose, no goal. Living organisms have a goal, simply because those who didn't failed to survive, but that doesn't mean Evolution has a goal.

  • That end over end worm is epic. Flawless design by natural selection, and done so in a computer sim as well!
