I assume your referring to the creature stage and while they're are some similarities, I'd actually think Wolfquest, Saurian are probably closer game play wise to what I'm considering. But yes, there will absolutely will be a twist.

- Would you be more open to a game focused only on dinosaurs over one containing both modern and prehistoric (including dinosaurs)
- Dinosaurs only is a-okay with me. Need more dinosaur based games.
- As a feature for an ecosim, if you had a choice between playing as an animal (most likely a real species) in a world you designed, OR having a very simplistic mix-match creature creation system, which would you choose?*
I'd be more open to an Impossible Creature like mixnmatch system; but really, I'd be fine with EITHER if they worked well.
EDIT:
Have you ever played SimLife? It's like the grandparent of Spore. You control absolutely everything in a world; creatures, ecosystems, etc. It's an older game so you can bet those graphics were 2D and very simplistic. I'd love a spiritual successor, as Spore certainly wasn't.
Yes I have played SimLife. Iin fact option 1 (and to a much lesser degree, option 2) and the ecosim concept-test I'm working on in Unity were heavily inspired by SimLife and what I was hoping Spore would be. Although my game would likely still be in 2D, the graphics would certainly be better.
If you don't mind me asking, why would you prefer dinosaurs only over a mixture of dinosaurs and modern animals (I should have included that in the original post as part of the question, my bad). I also should clarify the mixmatch system would be npc creation not playables (I fixed the original post in those regards, I apologize).
Not entirely related, but if your interested in Dinosaur games, have you heard of Saurian, Dinosystem or The Isle?
Quote: I thought one looked very familiar. In fact, I was helping out a friend with your #3 option though her game involved surviving as a classic lowly RPG monster versus... um.... EVERYTHING (even against humans).
I actually don't think I've heard of her game before.
