Alien Plants v1: Evolution simulation
A downloadable simulation for Windows and macOS
Evolution simulation for a simple model of plants.
Explore a group of plants that launch theirs seeds to spread and evolve. Plants adapt their traits to the terrain and will ultimately optimize for quick growth.
This first version of the Alien Plants project is a re-edition of the original prototype published in 2013.
Warning: Don't leave the simulation running unattended, plants will find a way to reproduce quickly and you'll need to kill the application (or just press ESC if you see it start lagging)
Watch this video where I explain common behaviors of the plants in this simulation.

V1.2 notes:
- Added crude way to adjust mouse sensitivity by using mouse wheel

the mouse sensitivity is too high, can you lower it please
I'm not working with this version of the game anymore, but I agree that the control is embarrassingly awful. So I opened the project in a Unity version 10 years old and added some crude way to adjust the mouse sensitivity. Use the mouse wheel, it's not good, but it can help.
Appreciate that this prototype is still getting some attention.
All my plants are sterile (dk if it's just for me)
That's a first!
It may take some time for the plants to produce a seed. Are you seeing any seeds coming from the plants? Do the seeds produce new plants?
no, I tried playing a few times, in all of them the plants grew, but didn't produce any seeds and then just died
I'm not updating this specific version anymore, but I released a new prototype. https://alejocamaleon.itch.io/alien-plants-team-seas Could you try this one instead and check this one works for you?
