I've been to that website before, and I have no idea what their game is because they don't seem to show anything on that website. Honestly it looks more like a fan speculative biology or world building project like draconology or SCP foundation.

Also Ecosystem just full released last Friday, so if people are looking for an evolution game that actually got finished they have that now.

Games like ALRE or Ecosystem are like Petz compared to Grandroids/Phantasia in the artificial life department. I would recommend reading the "Welcome Back" blog posts here. You can probably skip the first one.

GrandroidsIn February 2011, Grand announced a new project, Grandroids, described as "real 'alien' life forms who can live in a virtual world on your computer". In September 2024, the project was renamed to Phantasia, and the progress updates were made public.[en.wikipedia.org]

Hi there! Just to clarify: I'm the owner of the YT channel and yes, I'm indeed developing Palpus X Annihilation. BUT I am not the developer of Grandroids. I'm merely a big fan of Steve Grands work and uploaded the gameplay years ago because I felt like there was not enough footage about it. I'm excited for news about Grandroids :8bitheart:

Can anyone tell me if it actually works, even just in concept?

I've been following this game's development since I was in high school, lmao.

Grandroids or this game?


And about Grandroids, I haven't played it myself (not even sure if you can even get it anymore) it looks like it's just a concept.

As for Species, well you can see it here, it's been obviously abandoned for whatever reason.

check the website dude. the pre-alpha is live but you have to pay for it (gasp, paying for video games, how dreadful)

Thanks for clarification lol, when i first found out about Palpus the first thing that came to mind was DOOM for some reason, thinking of checking it out soon maybe

It is more of an Alien Shooter like game. Thanks for your interest :)
It's funny how people find my game via the species community forums :D

As for Grandroids. It was renamed to Phantasia. The project is still running. The new homepage is called: https://phantasia.life/
