What is EcoZone?

EcoZone is an evolution and ecosystem project I've been working on for the past 1 and a half years. It started as a small 1-month side project but quickly turned into a 15+ month-long adventure.

More specifically, this is an ecosystem and evolution simulator - where you have the freedom to do almost anything you want with your own virtual ecosystem.

Small, spider-like creatures with 6 eyes? Fast and energy efficient.

Tall trees with thick trunks? Energy powerplant (literally).

Rocky mountain terrain with a lake in the center? Treacherous, yet exciting.

This simulator encourages you to create your own world, with your own rules - while you watch your creatures and plants evolve, co-exist, compete, and thrive. With over 12 genes for each entity, day-night cycles, and various appearances, there are tons of complex behaviors that arise each and every run.

There is no right way to play. There are no goals. You set them; let your curiosity guide you in this game!

Will You Update the Game?

This simulator was created over a year ago when I had less experience coding larger projects, so the code architecture and project design are not what I'd like to work with. However, I think it's still worth it for the simulator to be released, as there's an abundance of interesting scenarios, mechanics, etc. to explore. But because of this, the simulation will stay in "DEMO" status indefinitely.

In the future, I'm going to be moving on from this simulation to other projects, so if you're interested in agent-based simulations, artificial life, or immersive simulators, stay tuned for that.

I'll still be providing support for game-breaking bugs or glitches. Join the Discord if you have any issues or want to converse with a community related to my channel or future updates on this project:
