## This looks just like Spore!

Wessel Stoop has wanted to play a simulation game where you can build your own
plants and animals, put them in a world, and see what happens since 2002. You
can imagine his excitement when Will Wright, the father of simulation games,
demoed his latest game Spore to an enthusiastic crowd. When Spore turned out
to be all game genres except simulation, Wessel decided he wanted to try to
make the game by himself. The Sapling is the result of that attempt.
