It was planned to be an internet game.
Also, I believe that there was a demo at E3 this year showing the lead designer making a totally rondom creature and colonizing and stuff. It's in one of the articles I linked to in the original post.

I couldn't find the E3 video but I posted this in my forums about 2 months ago. It's a video from a small game convention where Will Wright did a talk on various things. Including some pretty sweet looking gameplay footage.

Anyway, the idea of the world being populated with other people's creatures sounds very interesting. Just incase any of you don't know. When you get to being a fully 3D creature and out of the cell stage, during the loading screen the game connects to the internet and downloads various creatures (predators and prey) from the internet that fit into the ecosystem of the planet the game has generated for you.
