Firstly I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for creating an extremely fun and mesmerising 'game'.
I have noticed a few anomalies here and there in line with what some of the other users have mentioned regarding the 'best of' strains being selected so I'm looking forward to hearing what your response on the reason behind it was, when and if you find it. As well as of course testing new creatures when you release a new build that fixes the issue.
One thing I played around with was the settings for the brain. I was wondering if you might be able to provide a brief explanation of the changes that we can make with those settings and what they mean with respect to one another (layers, input, per muscle). I read the in game help section and I think I kiiiind of understand what the variables mean but I wouldn't say I'm certain.
I find it fascinating that such small changes can sometimes lead to such vast improvements, and as you mentioned in the help, it's watching the evolution that is so interesting. You have an expectation of how a build might turn out and it doesn't always quite get there... you have these moments when you see your 'baby' literally teetering on the edge of growing up to be what you hope it will be (and then that variation gets lost and you end up with another Mexican Waving Caterpillar ;)
I will be sure to pass this game many others.
Gratefully,
Dannii
