4.0.5
2025-10-06
This update addresses the recently discovered security vulnerability in the Unity game engine (CVE-2025-59489).
4.0.4
2025-09-06
- Stability Improvements
Changes in version 4.0:
- Save recordings of your favourite simulation results in the new gallery.
- Choose from a list of skins such as googly eyes, noses, hands, feet and more and attach them to your creature's bones for a more personalized look. Skins are purely cosmetic and do not affect the simulation.
- Tap a selection of body components with the move tool to show scale and rotation handles for precise adjustments. This is especially useful for fine-tuning the orientation and size of the new skins.
- Improved the performance of save file loading and saving and reduced the memory usage during the simulation.
- The camera now follows the creatures vertically as well, so your flying creatures won't fly out of view.
- Added a background grid to the simulation screen to help see the movement of flying creatures once the ground is no longer visible.
- Improved UI layout for different screen sizes and resolutions.
- Improved the visual quality of the UI.
- Other bug fixes and stability improvements.

3.1.0
2022-09-19
- Added wings and a flying task
- Define a fitness penalty if certain joints touch the ground
- Assign IDs to muscles that should expand and contract at the same time
- Exiting a simulation will now load its creature design into the editor
- Bug fixes
- Stability improvements
3.0.5
2020-09-03
- Fixed creatures with more than 100% fitness to still be properly sorted.
3.0.4
2020-04-01
Fixed a bug that could cause some not-yet-fully-placed muscles and bones to get stuck and stay on the screen in the creature editor when touches got cancelled.
3.0.3
2019-10-22
- Fixed a bug that caused neural network settings changes to not be applied immediately
3.0.2
2019-10-04
3.0.1: Bugfixes
Evolution 3.0 is here and it comes with many new features. Here are some of them:
- Import and export save files (so you can share them with your friends)
- Distance markers
- New and improved editor UI
- New save file selection UI
- Search save files
- Rename save files
- Undo & Redo
- Selection tool
- Move bones and multiple joints at once
- Pinch to zoom
- Customize muscle strength
- Customize bone and joint weights
- Multiple selection algorithms
- Multiple recombination algorithms
- Multiple mutation algorithms
- Improved physics simulation performance
- Improved visual simulation clarity
- Option to hide muscles completely
- Zoom during the simulation
- Change the population size during the simulation
- Rendering the neural network visualization is now about 200x faster
- Smaller save files
- New Help UI with improved performance
Fixes
- Added iPhone X/XS support
- Fixed memory leaks
- Improved deterministic playback
- The simulation is now more stable so there should be fewer glitches

Fixed a bug that caused the autosaver to accidentally delete old save files instead of just overwriting the current autosave.
