With Evolution: The Ultimate Creative Sandbox, a multiplayer game is to be created that mixes elements from No Man’s Sky with Will Wright’s Spore.
The online game is currently in the middle of a Steam Greenlight campaign and has managed to take first place there thanks to its interesting game principle. Because you start as a simple life form in the water. From there, you evolve like in Spore into a slightly higher-level organism. Your decisions during each stage of evolution have consequences for you and determine, for example, whether you are a creature that lives in water or on land.
From single-celled organism to conqueror of space
Now you continuously evolve, consume food, try to survive, and encounter other players who have undergone similar developments. You decide whether to team up with these other players or fight against them. Together, you build entire civilizations. But it doesn’t stop there. Even if you have established a civilization on a planet, you continue to evolve and reach for the stars. You build spaceships to fly to other planets and explore and colonize distant worlds.
There are said to be thousands of planets in the galaxy that offer different biomes, and you are allowed to land on all of them. The developers state that Evolution: The Ultimate Creative Sandbox is meant to be a multiplayer game, but not an MMO. The exact number of players per server is yet to be announced. Crafting plays a role, as does the enhancement of your character through skills and spells – yes, magic also plays a role. By the way, you should think carefully during evolution about how your creature should look later. A six-armed player with six weapons could be superior to a two-armed player.
If that is not reason enough to look forward to Evolution: The Ultimate Creative Sandbox, then perhaps this: There will be mysterious black holes in the game! A release date for the highly ambitious online game is currently not yet available.

Andreas says:
An interesting, albeit extremely ambitious concept. If everything works out and boredom does not arise, then the subtitle The Ultimate Creative Sandbox is likely to be accurate. Also interesting is that all the criticism surrounding No Man’s Sky does not harm the game. Who knows, maybe the developers will manage to pleasantly surprise us all.
