They're alive.
Kindlewild is an evolution simulation where digital life keeps evolving, whether you're looking or not.
Nothing is planned or scripted. There are no predefined animals, plants, or events. Each animal reacts to its surroundings based on its own unique genetics and experiences. The world is shaped entirely by the actions of its inhabitants, and by chance.
Every animal and plant is an individual with its own needs, fears, and sense of belonging. They stay with their species for safety and reproduction. They explore alone to find food, then return to share discoveries and lead their tribe to new resources.
Animals learn from experience and observation. They share that knowledge with their peers and with their children. Knowledge learned can span generations, even long after the one who discovered it is gone.
Life in the simulation keeps evolving, even when you're not looking. Come back another day and the world will have changed. New species may have appeared, while others may have gone extinct. The animal you followed yesterday might now have children of its own. A forest that was spreading wide might have withered away. Nothing is permanent. Everything changes.
All life begins as random genetic combinations. Organisms with shared traits form species that drift and divide as mutations take hold, generation after generation. Every birth, every death, and every behavior is the result of what came before. Evolution unfolds through cause and effect, where the smallest action can shift the world over time.
It's happening right now, while you are reading this.
