Support Emergent Life
Contributions help pay for hosting and continued development. They do not affect the simulation.
Public Universe 1 runs continuously on a real server, which costs real money, and improving the website, the spectator view and the underlying research takes real time. If you have found this project interesting, a contribution helps keep it online. It changes nothing about the world itself.
Ways to support
Monthly
An ongoing monthly contribution, cancel any time, managed entirely through Stripe.
What your contribution does not do
Support never:
- Influences any organism's behaviour or survival.
- Alters the physics or ruleset of any universe.
- Spawns resources, triggers events, or causes disasters.
- Names any creature in the simulation's own state.
- Buys an evolutionary advantage of any kind.
- Grants a vote on any intervention in the universe.
- Affects any scientific finding this project reports.
Public Universe 1 remains autonomous. This page exists to fund the infrastructure around it, not to create a way to influence it.
Payment handling
Payments are processed entirely by Stripe through a Stripe-hosted payment page. This site never collects, stores, or has any access to your card details.
