Appreciate you giving GenVo a try! The UI and onboarding definitely still need work, no argument there lol. I will say the systems are actually deeply interconnected under the hood, but if that isn't coming across during gameplay, that's something I need to improve. GenVo isn't really meant to recreate Spore, it's more of an autonomous ecosystem and evolution sim where the player is just another creature trying to survive. Still a long way to go, but that's part of the fun of building it. Thanks for the feedback!
