The stream is almost halfway! Watch together with the dev in 2 hours — The Sapling News

As you might know, at the moment I'm running a long livestream, simulating evolution 24/7. It's all epxplained in this video:

We've been able to follow the planet Wright-2b for almost a week now, and the moving continent (named 'Rupert' by the community) is about halfway its journey. Many interesting things are happening, like:

The two main continents are each hosting their own plant family: the western one is mostly red, the eastern one is mostly blue.
The ocean was covered in floating algae for days, until the animals evolved eggs that could handle stronger ocean currents, which caused a huge boom in filter feeders, causing all algae to go extinct.
The ecoystem on the larger continent (named 'Deus Agriculturae' by the community) is mostly based around fruit and fruit eaters.

To celebrate making it until here I (the dev Wessel Stoop) will be present in the chat tonight at 1900h UTC (2100h CEST, 1200h PDT, 1500h EDT)! Come watch the stream with me at twitch.tv/wesselstoop
