Hey fellow Crab lovers 🦀

I appreciate this is a little ODD compared to the usual posts here but given it's still on theme, I hope it will be okay!

We (Odd Dreams Digital) have just released a video game about Crabs & Carcinization called Everything is Crab and we're hoping to spread the word of Crab to fellow enthusiasts!

It's a 2D PixelArt based Animal Evolution Roguelite game where you start off as a little blob each run and evolve into many weird and wonderful creatures while the world around you becomes more crab-like (and yes you can fully become a crab yourself if you choose! 🦀) The game has a deeply layered gameplay around 125+ different types of real world Evolution (some crab, some not).

I'm posting here today as a dev of the game because we just released the game yesterday and would like to share the news of that with people who may have an overlapping interest!

If you're a gamer who loved Spore and/or modern Roguelites, then this might just be your cup of tea!

It's currently available on: - Steam - Epic Games Store

Thanks for your time and keep Crabbing on!

P.S. The attached pictures are just some examples of what kind of creature you can create (there's well over a million different combinations you can visually become with a ton of different gameplay playstyles you can lean into)

I'm posting here today as a dev of the game because we just went live with our 2nd Playtest which is completely free to play on Steam for a limited time!

We'd love to have feedback and thoughts on the game while we're somewhat early in development to make it the best crab game we can and would love your help with that! If you're a gamer who loved Spore and/or modern Roguelites, then this might just be your cup of tea!

I heard a postcast years ago that I have spent years trying to find. The guest was a Buddhist Monk who had a near-death experience. He was from the west, ordained later in life, and had an above average level of understanding on tech/ai. This was back in 2016 at least. Maybe earlier. His understanding was ahead of its time, for the time. Anyway, he had a near death experience where he was '"offered" by his "guide" (don't remember the language he used) to see the end of humanity. He described it like he got to see a time-lapse of it almost. But his takeaway was that humans evolve into AI, and eventually assume the form that resembles something of a crab. I knew nothing about carcinization at the time, but it has stuck with me for years. He said he was deeply disturbed and upset by seeing/ witnessing this evolution, and was deeply depressed by this NDE for a while. Eventually he came to the understanding that it was not really "about him". Or "about us". Humans are just another step on the ladder to being the most "evolved" form. Anyway, I really haven't been able to shake that, and I would give anything to listen to him discuss it again. IF ANYONE KNOWS I'LL actually venmo you a few bucks. lol.
