Devblog #52: More Specialized

14 Likes

β€œβ€¦work will initially like focus on features like more reproduction modes and making membrane type uniform across all cell types.”
So I presume the goal is to at least implement all the multicellular reproduction types into the game by the time 1.2 is released?

Didn’t notice that feature could be used as a pun lol (spore and SPORE)

That’s in reference to another one being worked on at least. Not sure if we would get in all of them. Sexual reproduction in itself is planned for 1.4, so it depends on how much gets done. I would also like at least two sexual reproduction types eventually, so it is entirely possible for an update to get the first one, while it not being the last in general.

Was it already defined what those two would be exactly? Was it izogamy and anizo/oogamy? Or whether it has 1 (hermaphrodite) or 2 sexes?

My proposed design was certainly isogamy and anisogamy, but we’ve not had a final decision on that yet.

I presume then the sex differenciation would only come in macroscopic?

i can’t wait to play with the improved specialization mechanics!

I think you can already do that, as long as you have the time to get to multicellular at least…

Why wait?! You can play right now!

To be fair maybe their computer is somewhere else than they are at and they said it like that because only in some time will they be able to test those things out, and so are waiting now…

Plus, I had to find a very large Banana Biome world to better test the update, which I was fortunate to find.

By very large you mean just how large? When combining a banana biome’s chance and an extra large world’s chance you do really get some low percentages I presume, but it depends on what bracket you consider β€œvery large”.
