Darwinia’s 10,000th anniversary edition launched this week, with a newly re-written graphics engine, support for surround sound, cloud saves, Steam Deck, and various bug fixes. Lovely stuff.

You can find the full list ofnew additions in the Steam post. It includes support for anti-aliasing modes like MSAA and SSAA and anisotropic texture filtering, but the real wins are things like the in-game UI now scaling better for different monitor sizes. UI is often a headache when trying to play older indie games.

Which I think gets to the heart of the thing.

Darwinia is £7.19 if you get it fromSteam right now, but it’s 79% off and £1.59if you get it from GOG. Not a bad price for a game that won the IGF award for Technical Excellence, Visual Art as well as the Grand Prize. An even better price for the game that stoppedBraidfrom winning the Grand Prize.
