The final critique is in 6 hours, and the game is as finished as it is going to be.
The only things not working that I want to put in are AI interaction with each other; all they do right now is swim around waiting for you to eat them or mate with them. They never die unless you eat them, either. There are a few other bugs to work out as well, but I'm confident in the concept of the project and I think we've met our most important goals.
So now it's on to making a power point presentation.
You can visit the 'beta release' on the 'beta' website, edge-project.tripod.com. Jackie is a bit overwhelmed with her biomedical work, so no update to the site other than to upload the game, which probably won't happen until 1, before we have the critique.
We don't have instructions up yet, but it's fairly intuitive. It follows your mouse and you make it run into other organisms. Then you make moral decisions. Or fun ones. Or perhaps bored ones. Whatever the case, please try out our game and give some feedback.

Last Work Day
Right now, Jackie is working on inserting the game as-is into the website.
If it's up and you try playing it, it really doesn't do much. Still.
You can input some text that gets translated into "DNA" which gets translated into a tiny organism. Yours is the one with the red arrow that always points towards the mouse. If you click the mouse, the game will pause (just a debug function; I'm working on the mating/eating thing next, which needs a pause function so that the user can choose options, etc.).
As the game progresses, the organisms will become more complex. We hope, anyways.
The game is almost-sorta-near completion. One more week of work, and it should be ready for the big critique.

Ok, so the website is looking rather snazzy. It is up, and you can see it, and there are actually things on it to look at now. So feedback would be greatly appreciated!
... because we haven't got any yet :[
The game is looking fantastic and I am very very excited, hopefully we are going to get a test up on the website shortly. That's that for now! :D
