BioLife

Andre Chilat

BioLife is a game simulation that aims to bring a new level of realism to the world of video games. Through extensive research, it uses real life recorded behavior data and ecology theory to improve the way animals behave in video games, as well as other aspects of their lives and surroundings. Additionally, players can interact with the environment and observe how these changes influence and affect both the habitats and the animals. The simulation contains three habitats, each with their native species and distinct vegetation, and offers the player the possibility to alter the habitats by controlling weather, number of trees and plants, and watch these changes unfold as animals adapt to these situations and environments change.
