Polymorphic Games
I am the cofounder (along with Professor Terry Soule) of Polymorphic Games, an experimental video game studio that applies game development technology to scientific research and STEM education. Polymorphic Games has released two evolutionary video games on Steam:
Darwin’s Demons is an arcade style space shooter in which you battle a population of evolving aliens. The alien’s morphology, fire type, and behaviors are all encoded by a digital genome. The aliens that are best able to shoot or evade you reproduce to make the next generation.
Project Hastur is an evolutionary tower defense game. Defend humanity against the ever changing threat of the alien Proteans. Project Hastur combines elements of 3D tower defense and real-time strategy with models of biological evolution to create a uniquely challenging experience.
