well, right now im thinking about making each substage last from 30 to 60 seconds, so on avarage, each stage would have 3-5 minutes. (this may change! this is a rough estimate from only 2 stages being planned out)

Are you sure the autoevo times will allow for such small timeframes?
the evolution is completely scripted btw. the only random thing (for now) is the membrane color. and in the future i plan to add a button that will stop evolution, so the intervals will be paused until the player unpauses it.

So I presume you plan to make it less scripted?

Will the micro-multi bodyplans translate to macro-multi bodyplans?
well, the macro-multi will start as a tiny sphere, i will try to make the sphere color same as the cell color, but i dont know if its possible to translate information between scenes

You could place the metaballs/spheres roughly in the shape the cells used to be in

What would it’s lore be accurate like when it comes to the later stages?
idk since the macro stages in thrive arent complete so i cant make a pukilarus there (i dont count the prototypes).
also, i released the game: https://pukilarus.itch.io/lifesim
you can now test out the micro stages

I will test it out in a bit
How rare would it be to come across a text organism like that? Especially as it appears each time you try and move forwards?
that organism will be sadly removed soon, as its behaviour is too complex to keep in the game

Maybe it will return in a later stage?
