Publisher Meridian4 and game developer Nick Shesterins are excited to announce that HOUND is set for Early Access on STEAM on March 28th, 2017.
HOUND is an evolution simulation that allows users to develop complex ecosystems in small-scale simulations through the use of advanced artificial intelligence. Players design an organism and release it into the world; through conversation with the AI, they can tweak the environment to create a perfect and complex virtual ecosystem. Players watch and oversee the evolution of their creatures from single-celled organism to three-dimensional beings that can walk, run, fly and even talk. And you can do so in hours, rather than millennia.
Check out the Trailer:
Breathe life into an empty void and watch as it grows, evolving into a world of your choosing. Your only goal is to create a complex ecosystem – it can be a brutal world of predators or a peaceful garden; breed an intelligent species capable of speech or a super-organism that will consume the stars. With HOUND, you make the world that you want.
HOUND gameplay is simple: you start with an empty world, build your ecosystem, design your first organism and throw it into the void. HOUND’s advanced artificial intelligence analyses your creation, finds it strengths and weaknesses, then gives it competition in your world. Watch as life evolves before your eyes – literally; the creatures exist in three dimensions, develop legs, wings and communication*. Your organism will fight for survival, stimulating successful mutation and increasingly more complex life forms.
