In the preparation for Natural Selection & Research 0.5 Update, all of claimed alpha keys without any reported alpha feedback have been pruned.

To our great surprise, the removed part was minority of claimed Creatura activations, and almost 60% of You have helped in some way by reporting bugs or giving other feedback. Thank You very, very much, we hope that special, Early Adopter version You'll keep, will be worth the time spent in early alpha Creatura releases!

As You might have noticed, the gap between version 0.46 and 0.5 is much longer than between earlier updates. This is mostly due to two huge new features in Creatura, GCAT DNA editor and specie discovery system, but also due to change in way we'll deliver updates from now on, focusing on big feature blocks followed with bugfixes and content updates, instead of small, and almost weekly incremental releases.



This time the big features are, as mentioned earlier, GCAT DNA editor, based on actual, state-of-the-art real life gene editing software, and a very robust and easy to use specie discovery system. While the later doesn't require any knowledge and just adds some flavor (and XP points), the DNA editor will test your aminoacids knowledge and general understanding of genome sequencing and editing process. We are serious, You'll need Wikipedia, gene editing is powerfull, but not easy.



Oh, and the natural selection is now enabled, there are reports of some new fancy finned flatworms swiming around. One would call it very fishy indeed…
