Progress Update 4/18/2026

Progress Update 4/11/2026
With Easter still eating into the workdays, and about half the work time still going into our development infrastructure in the background, progress is once again limited on the visible side this week. Several volunteer contributions are also clos...

We have exciting news this week as we have finally assembled our Multicellular Stage Release Roadmap ! As we are still hoping to finish the stage this year, this is the list of things we are planning to implement by 2027. You may note that this lo...
Progress Update 3/28/2026

This week, the game code caught up to the Multicellular Stage officially not being a prototype anymore. Trying to enter it no longer warns you about it being a prototype, and instead you get that warning when trying to advance to Macroscopic. Simi...
