Innovation Growth Network

Welcome to the Innovation Growth Network at Biohunt 2000—a space where insight meets evolution and strategy meets community. Here, players, thinkers, developers, and creatives converge to share their love for intelligent game design, intricate progression systems, and the living mechanics of tomorrow’s interactive worlds. This is more than a hub—it’s our shared ecosystem for leveling up ideas.

Founded by Sylvara Selmorne in the creative corridors of Chicago, Biohunt 2000 explores the frontiers of gaming—from breakthrough strategies to bio-engineered creatures that challenge convention. Our Innovation Growth Network serves as the open chamber where discussions echo with curiosity, patterns are dissected, and forward-thinking minds challenge each other to dig deeper. Whether you’re here to analyze progression systems or envision your own game world’s ecosystem, you’re in the right place among collaborators who know that play is serious craft.

Together, We Evolve

This community isn’t about reaching a single answer—it’s about exploring better questions. What makes a mechanic addictive but not exploitative? How can progression feel earned while still delivering delight? Which narrative architectures generate emotional immersion without breaking player agency? These are the kinds of brainstorming spirals the Innovation Growth Network was made for.

Every idea here contributes to something larger: a communal understanding of what makes games work—and how they can work better. Through shared insights, tested tactics, or a single well-worded challenge, you help others refine their design lenses. And because innovation doesn’t happen in isolation, this space thrives on thoughtful contributions that move the entire ecosystem forward.

Our Core Ethos

Like any well-balanced world, we grow around shared principles that help keep our discourse meaningful and onward-thinking. Here’s the grounding logic we operate from:

Respect for Complexity: Game systems are intricate. We unpack them with care, inviting voices from varied disciplines—mechanics analysts, modders, storytellers, coders, testers, and yes, inspired players.
Strategic Transparency: Share what you know—what you’ve tested, iterated, or broken. Honesty around success and failure creates clarity for others.
Systemic Curiosity: We’re not just tinkering with buttons; we’re studying feedback loops, internal economies, and emergent behaviors. Curiosity drives discovery.
Iteration over Ego: The best strategies evolve through experimentation and collective refinement. Confident minds revise often.
Future Focus: Every insight should be aimed forward. What we learn today reshapes what’s possible in tomorrow’s titles.

This is the spirit your participation supports. Whether you’re asking a question about raid group cohesion algorithms or decoding the DNA of a procedurally generated creature, you expand knowledge for the next round of creators and players alike.

Dialogue That Builds Worlds

Conversations here should have their own cadence of challenge and clarity. Offer what you’ve learned without verbosity. Pose questions that require more than yes-or-no. And when you reflect on another’s system post, offer not only critique, but a potential variable or lens they might try instead. Dialogue should energize, not flatten.

Some guideline suggestions for engagement include:

Sequence feedback from principle to tactic—i.e., start macro, then suggest micro-changes.
Use comparative language to measure design effectiveness (“This boss model feels more deterministic than XYZ title… here’s why that might matter.”).
When referencing an outside mechanic, system, or publication, briefly frame its utility before linking or describing.
Model encouragement. Especially when reviewing a work-in-progress, highlight strong foundations as much as potential revisions.

Every post, every thread, and every analytical riff should ultimately leave someone else with more clarity, more confidence—or more inspiration to prototype a new feature.

Knowledge is Built, Not Hoarded

We ask all members to cite sources when relevant, link respectfully, and clarify when ideas are in development or borrowed from elsewhere. Give fellow strategists and thinkers the trailhead to continue discoveries. Intellectual generosity is core to keeping the Innovation Growth Network rigorous and generous in equal measure.

If you’re planning to publish a deeper dive or want to engage as a peer contributor, reach out to our editorial liaison—for the curious and capable, we welcome fully mapped strategies, system analyses, or ecosystem explorations.

Our Community Expectations

Just as games require boundaries in order to play well, communities require them in order to grow. While this isn’t a place for general technical support or surface-level fandom (there are other great spaces for that), constructive debate and progressive disagreements are welcome—even vital. However, we strictly prohibit:

Personal attacks or demeaning comments.
Unfounded claims about company-specific performance or engine behavior.
Off-topic promotion, spam, or unrelated product seeding.

If you encounter behavior that doesn’t fit the rhythm of this community, contact our internal team at [email protected]. We lead gently, but firmly—we’re here to maintain stride and support the network’s long horizon of quality exchange.

Growth is a Team Mechanic

Most design breakthroughs don’t come from lightning-strike genius. They come from threads that start one way and end in an entirely unexpected corner—because someone offered a different rule, a distant analogy, or a critique that dared to ask “what if?” And this space is about that dare.

Your participation isn’t just welcome—it’s foundational. By writing, responding, problem-framing, or even passively observing/test-swapping, you give shape to a pattern database taller than any single game’s strategy guide. That’s the essence of the Innovation Growth Network: collaborative emergence, longview thinking, and using the everyday loop of contribution to evolve smarter, kinder, more thrilling games—and the minds that shape them.

About Our Founder

Sylvara Selmorne founded Biohunt 2000 with the belief that the best games don’t just entertain—they challenge you to think differently, problem-solve under pressure, and grow in unexpected directions. Her background in cognitive design and her passion for systems-based play continue to guide the structure of our team’s explorations. Her vision led to the birth of the Innovation Growth Network, which she sees not as a forum, but as an engine room where gamemakers and strategists hone the next generation of ideas.
