Retro C2S

[vagrant juniper]

holy this might be the BEST C2S fangame I’ve seen

[barren narwhal]

someone doesnt know about wicior's game

[vestal belfry]

the intro is really good though

[oak wasp]

True

[dark river]

who is "simality"

[oak wasp]

semblance's previous prototype

[dark river]

so like semblance's oldest brother

[oak wasp]

yeah

[dark river]

so wait

who is assembly

semblance, meet simality

[oak wasp]

woahhhh

[dark river]

oh god

every other scanline is dead

[oak wasp]

oh god why is it redacted like the epstein files

[devout zinc]

It looks good

*not about The image above

[oak wasp]

Go.

the text didnt load lol

its supposed to be "Good. now collect 10 dna"

[vagrant juniper]

I infact do know about that lol
I literally was like the 2nd in the thread

[barren narwhal]

oh

[tender zinc]

expanding the lore backwards

[devout zinc]

What was it?

[barren narwhal]

[devout zinc]

Well turn out I'm missing lots of things

[wise epoch]

Where's ur messages?

[vagrant juniper]

right here

[wise epoch]

Thx!

[main bay]

Make the red scene

[oak wasp]

The what

[wise epoch]

The scene red

[main bay]

This one

[oak wasp]

Well the cutscene is already there

[dark river]

"we really need your hel" what, Semblance, you want me to make a hell?

[main bay]

Make it red

[main bay]

Help*

[tender zinc]

the prototype isn't red isn't it

1993-1997

[oak wasp]

Yeah

[tender zinc]

so it can't be red

[oak wasp]

oopsy i forgot to work on ts

[tender zinc]

please add the 1980 alpha jellyfish test

[oak wasp]

wha is tha

[oak wasp]

bump because i keep forgetting i have to updateit

[devout zinc]

https://giphy.com/gifs/clasharama-beauty-sunset-J1n1BFf715ORq

[barren narwhal]

G

[tender zinc]

Do you still keep forgetting it?

Simality can't wait for the results

[barren narwhal]

Thinking about thi

[oak wasp]

Yep

[barren narwhal]

Maybe wanna do voice lines

Should I do

1. Monotone
2. Low quality
3. Unintelligible buzzes

Here’s a draft

[tender zinc]

I think I heard some auto tune going on

[barren narwhal]

Good

Lowers the quality

Here’s the unintelligible buzzes version

[barren narwhal]

lmao

[oak wasp]

Spooky

[tender zinc]

c2s analog horror trying to capture all human souls and trapped them in the simulation (pain every reboot)

[tender zinc]

cts xp

[oak wasp]

Cell to OS

[full wagon]

Simality fan art 🔥🔥🔥

By me

[barren narwhal]

Never too much reverb

[tender zinc]

This is even better

[oak wasp]

I feel like this should be used for someone who is an upgraded version of modern semblance

Like way more polygons

[tender zinc]

Then who?

[oak wasp]

Uhh lets think of a name

[tender zinc]

We've already had.... Simality, Sythel, Semblance, .....
all started with S? nah... this one has to start with another letter

[oak wasp]

the greater semblance empire

[tender zinc]

S'emballe 😭😭😭

[barren narwhal]

https://youtu.be/01rOHsLsvQ4 primordial soup theme but something is slightly off

[barren narwhal]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeoRqvN8eMG7RyB192UjbIjjMSDvPNdNg made an ost

I couldn’t add this one to the playlist because it was marked as made for kids but this would go in between mercury and autumn

[oak wasp]

Also for people that didnt notice, the game was supposed to be a combined version of spore and cts

and you can switch to the tree and upgrade your creature

so you can evolve as a inteligent fish or a human or a bird

[oak wasp]

dont act so surprised

[oak wasp]

hes big

[oak wasp]

Also yes im finally working on spore to singularity again after a long hiatus

took inspo from hoi4 for the node format

it works!

[tender zinc]

Jester

[oak wasp]

oh yeah i should add grandpa jester

or baby jester

[oak wasp]

what have i made

[tender zinc]

what is that

[oak wasp]

Maxed out cell

[tender zinc]

Hell yeah

[oak wasp]

alright lemme post every single aspect cell

this is the speed aspect/locomotion

this is the sensing one

this is morphology

this is defense

this is metabolism

[oak wasp]

and this is all in one

[tender zinc]

Simality is cooking with this one
-# I had a hard time figuring her name

[tender zinc]

G 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[oak wasp]

The text generation is so long that she only said “Good.” As of now

[tender zinc]

o

[dim tapir]

o

[tender zinc]

d

it's finally spelled Good

[marble crescent]

i wanna play this

[tender zinc]

Why tf are you joining this conversation /lh

[oak wasp]

technically beating the game

[devout zinc]

so this is where that simality is from which you mistook my evil semblance for

[oak wasp]

Yes

Inspired by the old engines name “Simality engine”

[devout zinc]

i guess i should give it name

Eigengrau

[devout zinc]

*the evil semblance

[oak wasp]

edited the positions

[barren narwhal]

Bro became a singularity

[tender zinc]

There was no concept of ideas yet so it makes sense that the supposed "singularity" stopped at the last mutation of whatever it is

[oak wasp]

Its only like a tenth or more of the tree

This is half of the cell stage

[tender zinc]

So uh... what's the last node?

[oak wasp]

The other half you are given the choice to be a sponge or a plant

[oak wasp]

Still singularity

[tender zinc]

Okay

[oak wasp]

Then simality crashes or fucking dies and when you try to run the game again it wouldn’t let you

[tender zinc]

so kinda like hoi4?

[oak wasp]

Instead of ideas it will be moneeh

Or cellbucks

Because you need money to do the research

[tender zinc]

Cellbucks.... That is brilliant

[barren narwhal]

Sbux

[tender zinc]

why is cobble reacted 2008 to your video when it's clearly 1997 alpha jellyfish test

[oak wasp]

micro-transactions!

[tender zinc]

cellular bonds

[barren narwhal]

which one sounds better for a land theme
https://youtu.be/eYpE0YLnkY4
https://youtu.be/CuCmy5Cy8K8

[oak wasp]

The second one

[tender zinc]

That one

[oak wasp]

im trying to add other cells now

imagine i add multiplayer

does pygame even support multiplayer?

bazinga

why do they all hate me

there are no good guys

[barren narwhal]

survival of the fittest

[oak wasp]

i made the agressivness bar thingy

[barren narwhal]

you should make it so the game pauses in the tree so they dont kill you when youre upgrading

[oak wasp]

and the randomness made them all angry

[tender zinc]

Imagine when the game ends and simality says "Thanks, with your help we can make a new living organism that can infect billions of people"

[oak wasp]

I know these arent accurate to evolution at all

[tender zinc]

Worm mentioned

[barren narwhal]

plot twist spore to singularity is just a plague inc prequel

[tender zinc]

hell nah

[oak wasp]

Gotta add that to my notes when at space stage of the game

i am the fittest now!

[tender zinc]

kinda like that worm game

[oak wasp]

worm...

[barren narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-i-understood-that-reference-look-back-gif-14556485

[oak wasp]

minecraft ahh

what the hell i finally made my first lag

[oak wasp]

there is gonna be a cell stage, aquatic stage, creature (holy guacamoley) stage, tribe stage, civilisation stage and space stage

[marble crescent]

??

[tender zinc]

just kidding

[tender zinc]

Space stage?

[oak wasp]

yes

like in spore

you go in a ufo finding the core of the milky way

until at the core it is the singularity

[tender zinc]

interesting

[oak wasp]

ring around the simality

[dim tapir]

wait

what would be the equivalent of steve

[oak wasp]

simality i guess

"Make sure to apply for a job at the reality group!"

uhh i need your help

what is a macro animal i should add along with macro worm

2 macro animals

yeah lets add 2 more

[dim tapir]

myxozoan

very tiny parasitic cnidarian

[oak wasp]

oh alright

one more

[dim tapir]

spore™ to singularity

[oak wasp]

everything is just chaos

[dim tapir]

haha thing go brrrr

[oak wasp]

i think i can share the first build for now

but since im using macos

idk how do i turn it into exe

[marble crescent]

i hope you can turn it into exe

[tender zinc]

I can turn it into an axe

/j

[oak wasp]

https://github.com/radionimations/Spore-to-Singulairty/releases

wait i had an idea bulb

use my 10 year old windows pc to turn it into a exe

[oak wasp]

WINDOWS VERSION OUT!!!

tonight we feast!

[oak wasp]

yes i buffed the prices alot

a 5 dna flagellum now costs 100 dna

[tender zinc]

Simality ain't similar

[oak wasp]

what a pun

[tender zinc]

Okay, what the hell is that inflation bro

[oak wasp]

i aint letting the players beat the game under 3 minutes

theres a reason why i made a save system in the game

best strat rn is absorb stray cells because they can give you 20 dna

[tender zinc]

Oh

[oak wasp]

then save up 200 dna for teeth so you can attack any size cell

and they can give you big dna

[tender zinc]

Big dna just sounded like that very useful code

[oak wasp]

Keep in mind dying makes you lose all dna

[oak wasp]

Anyone beat the game yet

there is an easter egg

If you suck at the game

[barren narwhal]

I haven’t turned my pc on yet

[oak wasp]

Spoiler if you didnt give up yet || the secret code just type in “radio” in your keyboard||

[oak wasp]

alright im adding 2 changes:

• armor applies to maximius
• pressing shift makes your speed into the speed when you started the game

[barren narwhal]

time to play

did i jsut find the final boss or something

?????

[oak wasp]

thats maximius

he is so annoying and i despise him so much

even tho i am the creator

0.2 is out for windows

saves should stay the same

so no progress is lost

[barren narwhal]

wait you spelled singularity wrong

[oak wasp]

Whoops

[barren narwhal]

whar

[oak wasp]

You can easily mod this game

Only the nodes tho

[barren narwhal]

lets see

[oak wasp]

And the music too

I made the nodes json compatible so i dont have to do 100 lines of code for every node

[barren narwhal]

um

ohh

[oak wasp]

Strange

Wait are you using sts windows or tthe source files to run the game

[barren narwhal]

windows

i think the bug is there isnt a eukaryote theme

[oak wasp]

Yeah

Visual studio just brushes it off by not playing anything

[barren narwhal]

dies

[oak wasp]

I mean the game should run fine if it saves after you bought it

[barren narwhal]

nope it saved directly before

i guess i cant buy nucleus

[oak wasp]

even though its part of the main route

i uploaded the files of the music patch, dont have the windows pc rn so cant make it into an exe for now

[barren narwhal]

SYTHEL???

[oak wasp]

yep

including its lore

sythel will appear after you open the game the 5th time

maybe even 3rd time

and i think i should add some features to him as well

[barren narwhal]

got everything

except nucleus since that crashes

[oak wasp]

Which is the part that leads to macro

[barren narwhal]

dies

[oak wasp]

Sad indeed

I didnt get an error when i playtested on my windows laptop

[oak wasp]

Type in radio

In your keyboard

Then click show all nodes

[barren narwhal]

i see

i still cant buy multicellular without nucleus

[oak wasp]

Yeah ill do a big update tomorrow

[dim tapir]

Best game collab

And both have to do with evolution

[marble crescent]

yay

[tender zinc]

Oh what happens here

[marble crescent]

the game is out!!

[tender zinc]

Yay

gonna try it soon

[oak wasp]

Guess i am doing everything

Ill try making an mobile android post when i finish the game

[oak wasp]

Everyone! suggestions! now!

[tender zinc]

Make simality interactive /j
-# but maybe it's a good idea

[oak wasp]

there will be a simality expansion update along with the sythel update

[tender zinc]

Sythel! her first original companion!

I mean her first thinking creation

[oak wasp]

guess what

[tender zinc]

YOOO

My lovely wormy tree!

[oak wasp]

now i have to make a tree for the other 2

[oak wasp]

MASSIVE UPDATE:
More music!
More nodes for each macro stage
AI improvements
https://github.com/radionimations/Spore-to-Singulairty/releases/tag/ffff

[oak wasp]

update:windows is out

music bug is supposed to be fixed

[oak wasp]

save should still be here

[oak wasp]

Next update is gonna be lore

Thinking of making sythel have a shop where he can help your gameplay by like making your cell home into food or prey

Or maybe like nanobot like feature

[barren narwhal]

I regret evolving into a worm

[marble crescent]

this should be more popular

why is it running on background and not starting??

[marble crescent]

i tried downloading and running python script from the first zip on github but theres just a cmd popping up and closing

[tender zinc]

“Who is this?”

oh -ware

[oak wasp]

It is an omnivore tho

[marble crescent]

some help here please

[oak wasp]

Its easier to get swarmed tho because i added a no-cannibalism rule

[oak wasp]

Thats strange

Did you download python maybe?

[marble crescent]

yeah

i also tried running the script from howtorun and it says this

[oak wasp]

Youre supposed to run in from sporetosingularity.py

[marble crescent]

cant, the cmd just closes

[oak wasp]

Oh, youre using cmd

[marble crescent]

?

what was i supposed to use

[oak wasp]

I personally use visual code studio

[marble crescent]

so i gotta install visual code

[oak wasp]

Visual stdio code yeah

[marble crescent]

alr

cant run because of this

[oak wasp]

“pip install pygame” in the terminal then

[marble crescent]

?

k

[oak wasp]

To install the module

[marble crescent]

why cant i install it

[oak wasp]

in the visual code studio terminal

yknow it appears when you try to launch the game

doesnt matter if it errors or not

[oak wasp]

"terminal"

in the tabs of the lower half

[marble crescent]

wait

[oak wasp]

alright, try
python get-pip.py

[marble crescent]

should i reboot my pc so visual studio appears in path?

[oak wasp]

python -m pip --version

it will show you if you installed it

[oak wasp]

yeah you should try it

[marble crescent]

👍

[oak wasp]

and try running sts.windows exe again

[marble crescent]

nothing changed

[oak wasp]

try running the exe

[marble crescent]

still nothing

dude this sucks

maybe i should install an earlier version of python?

[oak wasp]

try 3.11

[marble crescent]

k

[marble crescent]

bro why doesnt it work

i hate this

i tried 3.13 it also doesnt work

i should've ran in it cmd oh my god

YES

[oak wasp]

finally

[marble crescent]

why are all cells including me small but then a giant cell spawns and destroys everything

[oak wasp]

because maximius is peak

[marble crescent]

everything is too fast

[oak wasp]

hold shift

[marble crescent]

too slow

this is impossible

i keep crashing into big cells and die

very good game, you need to make everything slower

[oak wasp]

invest in armor

i broke the scale

1 km is crazy

[marble crescent]

im trying

but i keep crashing into big cells and die

[marble crescent]

whatt?

fuck

i almost got chitin shell but a big cell crashed into me

or i crashed into it

I KEep dying

[oak wasp]

@tender zinc

[marble crescent]

oh

i can zoom out

lag the game

and slow it down

[oak wasp]

and watch out of the bigass cells

[marble crescent]

i gotta go to bed

gn

[oak wasp]

automation but STS lmao

oh fuck its too op!

[oak wasp]

bigass update

https://github.com/radionimations/Spore-to-Singulairty/releases/tag/0.6

patchnotes too large so they are on github

windows not out yet (like always)

[oak wasp]

Windows out

500 dna for homing upgrade is such a deal

The big syth is here

[oak wasp]

a bit buggy

[barren narwhal]

lol I subscribed to emails

[barren narwhal]

wtf

[barren narwhal]

Is it supposed to keep doing that

After the first time nothing changes

[marble crescent]

good morning

as new version isnt out on windows yet

who should i evolve into?

[dim tapir]

WORM

[marble crescent]

k

i regret evolving into a worm

wait the new version is out on windows

im gonna download it

[marble crescent]

map limit??

my game keeps crashing

[oak wasp]

Farlands

[marble crescent]

i beat the game!

[oak wasp]

i think i know why the game keeps crashing

yall should add this to your save file

[marble crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/do-not-run-python-python-computer-python-coding-coding-funny-coding-meme-gif-10365831290651691441

[oak wasp]

STS public updates will be put on hold

gonna release the version on Alpha 1.0 (completed cell stage)

rn fixing late game things
