Bacillus is a microbiology inspired video game. Players take control of a microbe with the only goal of surviving in an evolving world. The game attempts to show the diversity and excitement in the prokaryotic kingdom, and in doing so, incorporates unique scientific principals into the game. For example, each bacteria has a genome, a sequence of DNA which accurately evolves during the course of the game. The world is fully explorable with plenty of unique "mircro" environments explore. And your bacteria is madly customizable with 50 'evovlable' traits. This game takes simple Pacman like gameplay mixes in some hard Science ,"RPG elements", and a sandbox world to create an experience which literally comes to Life.

The developer of this game needs $1,500 to finish his game. Rewards include designing and naming your own species. The game needs funds so it can develop better animation, provide some music, get a copyright and some other miscellaneous fees. The game has an accurate model for evolution built into it, what more do you need in a game?

I was just naming Dwarfs in Dwarf Fortress off of Bacillus today!
I am now compelled to give you moneys. Though I do have a few questions. Do we choose which species (and genera) we play as or are we forced into playing as Bacillus (subtillus)? If we do get a choice do different species (and genera) have different genus and species specific traits? IE, all Bacilli would have the capability to create endospores, but another genera would have microbial cysts and some other trait instead (since microbial cysts are kind of a step down from endospores).
If we are forced into only playing Bacillus do we get to play in any other forms? IE, with disrupting the right gene sequence, we could potentially 'play' as a spherical bacteria. Though, I'm no expert so I'm not exactly certain how that would affect gameplay, but I imagine several play styles could easily develop out of that capability and what it would entail.
nice game concept, i would donate but i am broke... anyways , i hope that you guys are able to finish this, and i look forward to playing it
