We're very close to wrapping up the prototype for our next game! We'll be looking for testers soon, so keep an eye out... In the meantime, some concept art for our main character! #conceptart #indiedev #characterdesign

Some more concept art for our upcoming Metroidvania game, this time showing off some potential doorway and gate designs. #indiedev #conceptart

This time, some environmental concept art for our next game as envisioned by our art director. A lot of inspiration for this area came from microscopic organisms called 'diatoms'! #sciart #indiedev #conceptart

Thanks so much for playing it! (Believe me, I had so many plans and ideas I wanted to include but realistically I had to move on, otherwise it would've taken another ten years to pull it off!) I'm hoping the next project addresses some of the negatives and delivers a better overall experience!
Played and beat @evolverdynamics.bsky.social 's Ex Vitro today and I gotta say, if you haven't already played it and are a fan of games like Metroid you def should, it's a tiny bit finicky but I honestly couldn't put it down. I do wish it had an area or two more though but it's -free- so who cares.

As an indie developer, you need to wear a lot of hats! This morning, I'm getting a crash course as an animator! One of the attack animations for a carnivore creature for our upcoming game #indiedev #3danimation

Some more concept art of humanoid creatures from our upcoming game, as sketched out by our art director! In addition to herbivores and carnivores, you’ll encounter stranger entities as well… #indiedev #conceptart

I'm sorry for all the folks affected by layoffs recently. It's not much easier in the indie space and most of us are just getting by. If you are thinking about starting up a studio or going indie, I'm happy to share what I've learned running a small studio for the last 8 years with a remote team.

We’re currently hard at work on the prototype for our next game, but here’s some super early concept art for some of the creatures that you’ll be interacting with! The ecology of the world will play an important role in the story AND the gameplay… #indiedev #metroidvania

Thanks so much for the support! It means a lot to both of us! We're currently underway on our next project, so stay tuned for some incoming posts about it :)
I have a softspot for this kind of passion projects. This gem needs more awareness and players. It is also free so why not give it a try. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Also thanks for the dev(s) for this game

We’re proud to announce that Evolver Dynamics was recently awarded a grant from Ontario Creates and the Canada Media Fund! This funding will let us begin working on the prototype for our next game!

More plant-based games are always great to see!
What are the chances? *Two* upcoming horror-strategy games about being an evil plant growing your root network across the land and devouring people, and both with demos. Parallel evolution in videogames is mindbending.

There are 6 root types you can choose for your plant in Mycocosm. Each one has a unique advantage in the soil; some can store more resources, and others are better at extracting them! #indiedev

The demo for Mycocosm is live on Steam! A chance to experience the trials and tribulations in the soil as a seedling! store.steampowered.com/app/3075670/...
