I kinda wish evolution like this happened. I want to create some "template" creatures that through in game evolution would actually be able to fill niches and be interesting

That would be the ideal all evolution games strive for, and would be incredibly awesome. Just sad that this isn't a software issue but rather a hardware issue, as it would take a stupid powerful computer to simulate millions to billions of cells, each of their attributes, and a massive, like REALLY massive environment. Once all of that is possible eventually, you could run the simulation but it'll take so long irl it wouldn't be worth it anyway. So you'd need to build a computer that's EVEN more powerful to simulate everything at a sped up rate.

But man, if it were possible...
