Pitch
A relaxing evolution simulation where AI-driven block creatures move in unexpected ways. There are no complex ecosystems—just pure movement learning through a physics engine. Watch as these creatures scurry, stumble, and evolve in their own unique, unpredictable ways.
Description
[About This Game]
ANLIFE is an evolution simulator featuring block creatures that shuffle around awkwardly under a physics engine. There’s no complex ecosystem like in typical life sims. Take the role of a god—lend a hand to these creatures or call down meteors—and calmly watch their evolution unfold, as if peering into a miniature sandbox.
[Block creatures powered by physics]
All they do is chase after food, yet their simplicity is oddly charming. Like a baby learning to crawl, these block creatures fumble and flail as they learn to move. Cheer them on as they grow more adept through the physics engine.
[Enjoy the freedom of being a god]
As a god, you can help them out, summon meteors, or even play a little mischievous. Shape the world however you like, guided by your own whim.
[A tranquil, healing time]
No story, no complex ecosystem, no goals. Simply relax in a soothing atmosphere and watch these creatures do their best to live.
[Evolution simulation]
Creatures that learn to move effectively toward food will survive, reproduce, and pass on their traits. Through each generation, their bodies gradually evolve.

History
Development History
In 2009, the precursor to this project, an artificial life simulator called "anlife," was developed by Nakamura, who was then a graduate student (and is now the CEO of our company). The lifelike movements of the creatures garnered attention primarily through Niconico.

In 2016-2018, a new simulator that Nakamura was developing was redeveloped in collaboration with Dwango, the company that operates Niconico, and released as a service with a different concept. A moment when Director Hayao Miyazaki commented on it on NHK became a topic of discussion.

As of 2023, the development of "ANLIFE" is being advanced with a concept of returning to its roots.
