Pixelart ecosystem or biotope creating game [SimLife]

Post by Drachenbauer »

Hello i am looking for an old pixelart ecosystem or biotope creating game, that i played in my middleschool time one day at a teacher-PC in their little room as i had a long break between lessons or a lesson was canceled because of a sick teacher.

In this sandbox-style game it was possible to create custom animal- and plant-species.
The creation-dialogue had a Main area, where the properties of the species where set in style of a three-flap-mix-up-animals-book for children and at the bottom right a small area to create pixelart icons for adult and young ones for animals or a set of growth-states for plants

For animals the three parts in the main-area where alligned horizontal:
Head:
-intelligence
-type of food
Body:
-most prominent movement-skill
-speed (i am not sure with this one)
Tail:
-gestation time
-number of offsprings at once (not sure this one, too)

For plants the parts are located vertical (here i am not more sure about many of these properties):
Root:
-root-shape
-soil-type
Stem and Leaves:
-growth-type
-?
Flower and Fruit:
-pollution-method
-number of seeds

Than place your creation in a gridbased world, that you can freely decorate with water-bodies, terrain-types and static objects like rocks, fences and artifical things, and watchr them behave and if they spread or extingt.

Does anyone know this game and can help me find a download for it?

Best regards Maxi

You don't. MobyGames is a video game database, not a download site.
