    About The Sapling

    The Sapling is a short simulation game where you design your own plants and animals, and put them in a world together. Or you turn on random mutations, and see what evolution does to your ecosystem!Features
    • Design plants and animals.
    • Fast-forward time to and watch the ecosystem work like a charm or slowly fall apart (probably the latter :) ).
    • A sandbox mode where you can skip time and turn on random mutation, allowing true evolution.
    • An instinct system where you can specify what an animal should do when it hears or sees something.
    • A procedural animation system so any animal can perform any animation.
    • Procedural music mixed on the fly.
    • Everything set up to be easily extended by players.
    This looks just like Spore!
