The initial beta testing of Darwinia began on 27 August 2004, and the beta testing of the full game started on 26 November, the same year. After months of iteration and development, this coalesced into the gameplay for Darwinia. Introversion began prototyping a war game with more units on screen than had ever been done at that point. Mission objectives are given at each location/level, as the player and the Darwinians attempt to wipe out the Viruses.ĭarwinia was inspired by the theme of the first Indie Game Jam, where a group of programmers experimented with generating tens of thousands of sprites on screen at once.

Research allows the player to upgrade programs and weapons, which is critical as the enemy develops. The player has the ability to run several programs through the Task Manager, similar to units used in many real-time strategy games. The player is tasked to destroying the few remaining e-mails.Ī Squad attacking its target with an airstrikeĭarwinia mixes elements from strategy, action, puzzle, hacker and God games alike, meaning that it does not fall under a specific video game genre. The e-mails were infected with a very nasty strain of internet virus which corrupted the Darwinians. The Darwinians managed to access Sepulveda's computer, downloading several files and eventually downloading the Spam. They then re-aligned a portal inside Darwinia in an attempt to communicate with God. After Sepulveda had accidentally flashed an image of his face across the skies of Darwinia, The Darwinians had assumed him to be God. In the final level of the game, Sepulveda traces the Viral infection back to its source, which is e-mail spam. The player must clear the Viruses from all the facilities and reactivate them. The next task involves the reincarnation of Darwinians: the Soul Repository in the center of Darwinia collects the floating souls, and sends them down to the Receiver, where the Darwinians gather them and send them to the Pattern Buffer to be reprogrammed with the main Darwinian blueprint code, where they are sent to the Biosphere to be reborn. Once done, the Yard begins producing armored units, allowing the player to move on.

The first task involves clearing the virus population from and reactivating the Mines and Power Generator to provide resources for the Construction Yard. Sepulveda begins assigning tasks that span several levels to achieve a long-term objective. The first two levels of the video game act as an introduction and allow the player to familiarize themselves with the controls. As the player progresses, it soon becomes clear this is not enough, and that triggers the third aspect of the gameplay, which is evolution. These are now the only means of attack against the virus. The player is given access to the combat programs, simple tools that originally began as mini-games. Sepulveda enlists the player, a curious hacker who stumbled across Darwinia by accident, to aid him in rescuing the Darwinians and drive off the computer virus. Darwinia has been infected by a computer virus, and Sepulveda is in near panic, watching decades of research being corrupted and being used up. However, the player arrives in the midst of an emergency. A Darwinian lives a life working and growing, until the eventual death of the Darwinian, which releases their digital soul to later be reincarnated. Darwinia is also where the world can visit to see them frolicking in their natural, fractal habitat. Housed in a massive network of surplus Protologic 68000 machines from the 1980s, Darwinia is a world where the single-poly Darwinians, with their simple, but growing AI, can grow and evolve. Darwinia was created as a digital theme world for artificially intelligent polygons by Dr.
