Thank you for your comment! I also watched the replay of your stream testing our game (I used to watched your HC episodes looong ago, feels good to hear your voice again!)
I didn't get enough time to implement the last part of the game but you were indeed supposed to see the species go out into the world and develop their civilizations, then trade resources with them for upgrades of your buildings, and get achievements depending on how well they were doing :)
Thanks again for playing and reviewing the game!
