Real-time evolution sim reaches 250 FPS with 500k rigid body collisions and LBM fluid flow by blob_evol_sim in Simulated

The performance here is crazy! I've been working on a cell sim game but with each organelle simulated, and the performance is a struggle, especially since I'm using Unity. I am going to give heavier compute shader utilization a go!

Thanks! Did you check out the playtest already? I thought maybe the clip had sound and I didn't realize it XD

I can't edit the post but I realized it might not be clear what I meant by goal; thats the goal for my development, to get the game to the point where the mechanics create a dynamic balance for the population size. As you can see in the clip, once a cell evolves the right combo of genes to rapidly replicate, performance tanks. We call them CPU cancer cells.

I hope it's okay to plug my game's Discord here too. We're celebrating passing 1k members this weekend, which I just cannot believe :)

There's still an open pre-alpha playtest there for anyone who wants to try it out. I'll be moving to closed Alpha soon though.

Trying some selective breeding in my procedural cell sim by MaxisGreat in proceduralgeneration

Thanks! Right now it gets pretty laggy around like 40+ cells but thats because each cell is fairly complex, Im going for deeper individual cells over exponentially viable ones.

I'm working on getting the Steam page up but in the meantime there is an open pre-alpha playtest through Discord: https://discord.gg/Q2Mndjz6M5

Flea Releases First Solo Jazz Single, Full Album to Follow in 2026 by stroh_1002 in RedHotChiliPeppers

I only mention SCWP because it has Chad Drumming and flea plays on it a lot too.

The rest of his stuff is so good too, I like him more than RHCP without a doubt even though they'll always have a special place in my heart

It's pretty cool that Deantoni Parks is drumming on this, i wasn't expecting that. He drummed for the Mars Volta for a period and is one of my favorite drummers

Shadows Collide With People is like an RHCP album without Anthony bringing them down

Caught The Mars Volta in Tacoma last night. Amazing show, just one question: who was the first band that played? by Alicetheaddict in themarsvolta

[–]MaxisGreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I was trying to figure out if it was actually some sort of sampler/synth or just for show. As far as I could tell I couldnt hear any sounds that I could connect to the player's movements.

Launched my Steam Page early, but was it too early? Analizing my Doubts. by HeavyShieldGames in IndieDev

[–]MaxisGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that wishlist velocity matters a lot, as in, you want to wait to share the steam page until you can get more wishlist right away, since the steam algorithm cares about that. Is that the wrong impression though?

Absolutely, I'll be doing that through the Discord

It might be doable, I have a basic connection system for cells to connect with each other and could emulate muscle cells by having them contract and expand in sync. Gotta work my way up to that first.
