Future wiki content & development concepts/decisions

Future Game
22
Speaking of wiki, I’m reviving this thread for the purpose of making a wiki inside this very thread. This post is now the first wiki post of the entire topic. Thus, if a feature is confirmed by the dev team, it can be put here by anyone. Just make sure that features (e.g. CPA, Patches, etc.) are separated by multiple “-” characters. For instance, writing “----” below will do this :
Just be careful. Sometimes, it can just make your characters bigger. In that case, press “Enter” before “----”, and it should do the trick (that’s what I have just done). I’m saying this only for people who didn’t know about the feature, just in case.
Anyway, only write the features below (i.e. don’t edit what is mentioned here unless you’re a leader/moderator and that you see I made a mistake in my tips), and they must be confirmed by the dev team. Speaking of dev team, hi developers. You can write the confirmed features as well as their established rules here. Anyone is free to do edit here as long as it is confirmed.

Thanks, and have fun! (gabeN)

EDIT : I might add my ideas as proposal.
RE-EDIT: Hmm, I mean, WE might add OUR ideas as proposals.

General

Steam (proposals)

It is known that it costs 100$ to put a game on Steam. It has been suggested by @blackjacksike that a Steam Workshop feature could come with the Steam release, but hhyyrylainen said that he would not implement such a thing unless the Steam release would cost money as a “forced donation”.

@blackjacksike’s proposal: 5.00$ for the game could be good enough.

Microbe Stage

This stage is based on two types of gameplay such as environmental gameplay and editor gameplay. Environmental gameplay is the part when the player can move its cell around and explore, while the editor gameplay is when the player is ready to reproduce as a mean to evolve the cell.

Transitions

Start: Currently no transition as it is the first stage.
End: Binding multiple cells with “Adhesion Proteins” or “Bonding Signal agent” to form a multicellular colony.
Proposal #1 by @blackjacksike : It could be possible to differentiate bacteria gameplay from the Microbe Stage by creating the Bacteria Stage.
