This is an evolutionary simulation for 8 generations of hypothethical, pixel-based creatures. Notice how the complexity increases exponentially with each generation, and how wildly different lines branch of from common ancestors.

This is, to put it simply: Inspiring!

When you created this, did you have a particular process for thinking up variants?

This actually works as a good argument for cladism (cladistics?); imagine how different this chart would look if you had just had the various organisms and fossils, and you needed to group them based on similar phenotypes.

I had no particular process for the mutations, I just looked at particular features and thought about which ones I could exaggerate and/or twist :)

When I have time, I'm going to build a quick game prototype based on evolution, pass it your way and convince you to part with the PSD for this set.

Then they will live.
