Cell to Singularity - Evolution Never Ends News

Hello Universe Architects,

As a curious species, we are all too aware of the mysteries that go unsolved. Throughout history humans have chased down answers to some of these questions, and one field of study in particular has provided irrefutable proof. Some people may even say it’s an entirely different language.

We have done some calculations of our own, and we’ve deduced that it’s time for an all-new Explore Event. Crack out your calculators for:





[h2]Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts[/h2]
Which systems in mathematics were developed first? How did we discover numbers? Just how evolved are we in our mathematical pursuits? The answers are adding up on the new Explore Event tree.

• Explore the surprisingly fun side of math with 61 total Research Nodes.
  
• Learn more about important numerical pillars with 8 new Generators
  
• Envision the structure of mathematical theories with custom-tailored icon art.
  
• Follow along with italic word problems in the tooltips to get into an analytical mindset.
  

[h2]A Gifted Mind[/h2]
The human brain works overtime while problem solving. Enjoy the feeling of deciphering head-scratching problems encapsulated in the new Explore Event garden.

• Fill empty headspace with each Generator unlock and watch the Math garden overflow with knowledge.
  

[h2]The Math is Mathing[/h2]
We’ve double checked our math, and we know we got this answer right. Add these three badges to your simulation for a significant percentage boost: Algebra, Pi, and Euler’s Identity.



While we finish carrying over the 1, it’s time we share a little bit of information outside of the simulation. Our team is hosting a Let’s Play for Explore: Mathematics on our official Discord server RIGHT NOW! Join in on the fun, ask the devs some questions and receive free Darwinium when you provide us with your Player ID. We’ll be there brainstorming until 12 PM ET.

In case you missed our livestream last week, it’s currently available to view on YouTube. This was our last livestream of the year so don’t miss out on the festivities, Darwinium codes, and an insider perspective on Explore: Math from our economy specialist!

Speaking of the end of the year, our team will be going on a holiday break next week and we’ll be returning in January. We can’t thank our players enough for another mindblowing year of curiosity, discoveries and support. Stay tuned for more to come in 2025.

Happy holidays and stay brainy,
The Cells team

Hello Universe Architects,

While we have escaped the clutches of the black hole, another threat looms over the horizon. We are safe for now; the Milky Way Galaxy is massive and is slowly tugging away at alarming neighboring galaxies. But there is one that’s coming to challenge the Milky Way. And it threatens the very existence of time and space as we know it.

Who will win the battle of the masses? Find out in:





[h2]One With the Force[/h2]
A whole universe exists outside of the Milky Way Galaxy, and it’s more chaotic than we can fathom. What possible threats could be waiting for us amongst the stars?

• Combine all of your E25 and E26 progress to form a complete Milky Way Galaxy Generator.
  
• Spiral into heightened production with five galactic Generators.
  
• Leave the familiar behind with 11 new Trait Cards.
  

[h2]Arm in Arm[/h2]
We are not alone in space. Other galaxies surround the Milky Way, but one of them in particular is too close for comfort. Andromeda is headed right for us, and only disaster will strike once the two galaxies meet.

• Observe three additional galaxies in the Beyond garden.
  
• Witness the chaos as Andromeda sets course for collision with our home galaxy.
  

[h2]Collision Course[/h2]
Celestial goodies have been scattered throughout the universe. Find them all and reap the rewards.
Unlock up to 13 sparkling achievements.

• Form a new stellar nursery with the Small Magellanic Cloud Astronomy Mission.
  
• Witness the moment before destruction when embarking on the Simulated Collision Astronomy Mission.
  
• Harness the power of three new Constellations: Andromeda, Pegasus and Ophiuchus.
  

[h3]Additional Features:[/h3]

• NEW: Unique Star Pack (cosmetic) available in the Augmentation Store. Includes Pleiades , Betelgeuse , and VY Canis Majoris . Please note that this is only available to unlock for players that are Episode 18 or above.
  
• Bug fixes and improvements to the Save Manager.
  

December is almost here, and with it the end of the year. One more new Explore Event will be released before 2024 comes to a close. Expect a mentally stimulating event perfect for a cozy holiday break!

We’ll be sharing an inside look at this Explore Event in our final 2024 livestream. Mark your calendars for December 13th at 1 PM ET to join the Cells team in this end-of-year celebration! Follow us on YouTube or Twitch to get notifications when we’re live. We hope to see you there.

We greatly appreciate all feedback and support. As our team prepares for our own holiday breaks, we’re looking forward to sharing future updates with you. Enjoy Beyond E27: Galactic Battle!

Hello Universe Architects,

With a few major gameplay releases under our belt, it’s time to talk about the overall Cell To Singularity experience. We have been collecting player feedback over the course of the year, and we are now prioritizing quality of life improvements to the Primary Simulation.

While we cannot update every issue at once, we have identified some major stress points for players that our team members are focused on tackling.

We thank all our players for your patience as we set up some construction tape and work towards fixing many base game features. This is the first slated main game overhaul, and we’re looking forward to addressing other features in upcoming updates. Let’s dive into the details:


[h2]UPDATED: Save Manager UI/UX[/h2]

--------------------------------------------------------

Gather around the campfire and let us tell you a ghost story, Universe Architects.

It’s just us in the dark and dreary woods. But, are we alone? There are monsters of all kinds looming in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to frighten… or worse. BOO! Were you scared? Don’t worry; while some people have claimed that these creatures exist, they aren’t actually proven to be real. That’s why they’re called cryptids. While we’re safe for now, that doesn’t mean you should stop looking over your shoulder.

Grab your flashlights and torches. It’s time to seek out the uncanny, the insidious, and the unfathomable in Cell To Singularity’s first-ever Mini Explore Event:





[h2]It’s ALIVE (and Mini Size)[/h2]
This Explore Event is worth celebrating! This is the premiere of a new kind of event: the Explore Mini. Explore Minis are almost the same as Explore Events, only more compact. There will be fewer nodes and one badge to unlock in a shorter period of time. This allows us to feature fascinating topics that we might not have otherwise covered. Don’t let the size fool you: the content is just as satisfying.

We’re curious to know your feedback on Mini Explore Events! Let us know in the comments.

[h2]What Was That?![/h2]
Is something there…? It’s probably just the wind or a tree branch tapping against the window. Join Semblance as she explores the tales of mischief makers and monsters hiding in the shadows.

• Expose three chilling generators from their tenebrous domain: the Insidious, Uncanny and Unfathomable.
  
• Fend for yourself against the trickery of 23 spooky Trait Nodes.
  
• Rest your weary head and stoke the animated flames of The Campfire node.
  
• Are those shadows in the background moving? Maybe I’m imagining things…
  

[h2]Trick or Treat[/h2]
Discover every creepy cryptid in the event and uncover what’s behind the badge’s silhouette. As a Mini Explore Event, there will only be one badge to earn with a 5% boost.



[h2]Something is Afoot[/h2]
If researching cryptids all year round is your thing, we have just the Augmentations for you. Embrace the strange with two new prizes in the Augmentation Store.

• Add Bigfoot to the Land garden. Can you find him wandering around?
  
• Show off your love for the unknown with the Cryptids Icon Pack.
  

If you miss the chance to catch the cryptids, they’ll be back in the simulation for one more spooky-tacular round on 10/28/2024 - 10/31/2024. Now we wait for daybreak. While we seek refuge in this totally safe cabin in the middle of nowhere, let’s take a moment to share what else is on the Cells docket.

Alongside cryptids comes our favorite extinct phantoms. The Dodo Ghost Hunt is back for another year of haunting in the simulation! Some new ones have even appeared in different hiding spots, leaving 70 dodo ghosts in total to be found from 10/15/2024 - 11/01/2024. Can you find them all?



A raven is like a writing desk, and we encourage you to put that writing desk to good use because the Ode to a Black Contest is still open for entries. First place will take home a chilling 2,000 Darwinium with a 90-Day Infinity Pass. Read more about contest guidelines and rules here. Good luck to all who enter!

Missed last week’s livestream? While we shared an inside look at Explore: Cryptids – Face Your Fears, we also showed some of the development process of Beyond E26 (with a few E27 spoilers). Check it out to get some free Darwinium!

With Ancient Civilization now wrapped up, our team is looking ahead and focused on closing out the year with a couple more exciting updates. Keep your eyes peeled on our socials to find out more in the coming months.

Until the next update– stay cellular! Wait… what’s that behind you?
