    Lol, yeah. Ariel told me the answer a while back and I felt my IQ drop so fast that I optimized the lighting system a lot to make up for it :)

    BTW, I'm really glad you people are finding the game entertaining.
    We are working hard into making this worthwhile :)

    Is there any chance for the people who registered after the 1st build got released to get that version now instead of the newer one then? I really hope so.

    If not I can wait a few days. :)

    any chance?

    hello i just applied :D
    i am absolutely loving the look of this game but i was just wondering, do i have a chance of getting into one of the betas or am i defiantly to late ?
    i know a lot of people ask if they can still get into the beta so i apologise if i am being a nuisance :0
    i would love it if i could possibly still get into a beta because im sure that i could offer some help :D

    Hello

    These are the ameliorations brought to this build:
    - general calibration
    - improved performance for bulb & bright elements
    - new UI for the top bar
    - feedback button merged into the "Share" screen
    - new Share screen (camera button) allows to send screenshots to friends by email, Facebook & Twitter
    and maybe more :)

    We've starting working on the whole story mode with 30 levels to complete, this is a major part of the game. Will probably be included in the next next build.

    Well, I've been ignorantly busy this week, but finally managed to put some quality time into this. My biggest fascination is working with the elements and weather. I read through the wiki about a million times now and I'm going to start working on chemical reactions and fool around with the music note. I also made it my goal to do the real life electrical circuitry.

    I also busted out my biology book because I would love to see life in the game, but I want to create it. Basically, I want to create/do the whole evolutionary process myself instead of be given pre-made humans and animals. TBH, I'd love for it to be as intricate as possible and I've been coming up with ideas. Basically it stems around a more intricate experience of spore infused with the world you've already made.

    Edit
    Think of the Futurama episode where Prof. Farnsworth creates synthetic life and then it evolves.

    Story mode? Eh? From what I've played I really can't wait to see how you manage to put a story mode into this. You've got such freedom I just can't imagine it. I'm excited now.

    Thanks man!

    I've actually turned it into a side project. I just have to keep itwithin the parameters of this game because my ideas keep stretching to 3D and/or no-pixelated world due to wanting to see everything happen.

    This is the type of game I wish I was a dev for.

    I've been contemplating this because I was actually going tio send in ideas for a story today. Well, bot a story but challenges. If you read the wiki you'll see how everything intricately reacts with each other. I wouldn't be surprised if it was based on something that revolves around that.

    Also, they could prefabricate universes and you have to meet conditions instead of creating things from scratch.

    There's a world of possibilities, especially if a life system gets added in later on.

    Is there any chance I could get a link to the wiki, or is it an in-game one?? If all goes well and the next build gets released today(which I hope :D), I'd like to read up on this and get familiar with some stuff beforehand.

    Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: Nevermind I found it. :)
