Emerging Giants
Shape Species. Survive Changing Worlds. Build a Living Planet.
A turn-based strategy game about the rise of plant life on early Earth. Create species, adapt their traits and spread them across a world that will not sit still.
The core loop
Create. Adapt. Evolve.
- Create
- Found a species and name its lineage.
- Adapt
- Choose adaptations, each with a trade-off.
- Evolve
- Spread into the climates that suit it.
The world
Every Tile Is an Ecosystem
Light, water, temperature and the neighbors already growing there decide whether a species takes hold. Survival depends on fit, not force.
Habitat 01
Open Water
A barrier, and a route for drifting seeds
Spreading
Life Travels on Wind and Water
Seeds and spores carry your lineages into new ground each turn. Where they land, and whether they can hold it, is the whole game.
Survival Is Never Guaranteed
Climates shift, ice advances, coastlines move. Millions of years of growth can be undone in a handful of turns — biodiversity is your only real defense.
