Be in charge of a single species and watch it grow and branch into various species as it evolves generation after generation. In Chrysalis-Dx you will control three important environmental variables. Available Food, Temperature and CO2 level. As you adjust these level during the course of the simulation, you will be controlling the path of evolution. It won’t be easy because as more species start sharing the same environment, competition for food becomes inevitable. Some species have special traits that helps their own but not the competition while others have traits the hurts the competition but offer no direct benefit on its own. At the end of the day however you decide which species you want to support by changing the environmental variables. You can’t save them all but then again that’s how real life works. Chrysalis-Dx is a causal paced simulation which can run in the background while you do real work. It can be the perfect distraction while you take those 5 min breaks.

Chrysalis-Dx is a causal paced simulation which can run in the background while you do real work. It can be the perfect distraction while you take those 5 min breaks. Check up on your species, adjust the environment and see how things play out.

This game should be out starting August 9 2010 and will have a demo available.

Very nice indeed, keep up the good work. As a biologist(partial at least) Idd love to play this game at once.

Cool. Nice to hear that. I might have to pick your brains for ideas and concepts for Chrysalis-E.

As an aside you might want to check out a "game" called Foldit made by researches at the University of Washington. The challenge there the Protein Folding. A blog about it is here.
