Hello! I have been following you guys for a while and I must say the progress looks amazing!
I would LOVE to be able to contribute with art, designs and just general visuals. Maybe even some biology stuff, as I'm going to a gymnasium next year that focuses on biology.
I've mainly taken note of the background to the single cell stage (oddly specific, I know, but what can you do lol) and I'd like to give some suggestions on how to improve visuals. Hopefully this won't be something you peoples have heard millions of times over and over. Anyhooters, here comes.
Perhaps you can take notes from microscope pictures? Make the light blue background darker, add algae and such. Pics for reference: il9.picdn.net/shutterstock/vid… i.ytimg.com/vi/2VljTyMX_XA/hqd…

Diatoms would perhaps be useful for creation of atmosphere, just having some floating around and waiting to be eaten by the player's cell or something like that. www.victorianmicroscopeslides.… upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
It'd also be interesting if there would be viruses randomly attacking, altering, just generally tweaking with and maybe adding/removing potential DNA points from the cell. There's theories about viruses being the very cause and spark of evolution.
Perhaps you could even add some form of subtle light refraction effect on your cell models, similar to what is seen on this paramecium: wps.pearsoned.ca/wps/media/obj…
Maybe even subtle pigmentation options/customization and light play? Similar to what's seen in this rotifer: orig08.deviantart.net/cd94/f/2…
Just some nonsense from me. I apologize for long post and I understand if you guys don't have time with my bullshit. I just sorta had to blurt this out.
