It'd be interesting to see how nature-based selfishness is and how nurture-based it is.
.
For example, I have a low opinion on humankind's general capacity to be kind to one another or self-sacrificing (though there are always exceptions), but I feel like that's probably more due to the world we live in, rather than any genetic or nature-based stuff.

I wholeheartedly agree that it's more due to how the state of the world is today, something I hadn't considered before. I'd also like to see some numbers tied to how the selfishness is induced, but probably impossible. Thank you for your perspective!

I personally beg to disagree, Hegelian and Marxian philosophy would say that humans are products of their societies, to put it simply.

I don't think we are born selfish. It's something that becomes a part of us as we grow up due to influence of society and environment. Simply because it's needed. People have to be selfish so others don't use them. It's a necessary evil to survive in this cruel world. Doesn't apply to everyone though. I've seen some really selfless, caring people in my life.

I think most life is selfish by nature. The more self aware something is, the more selfish it becomes, but everything that lives wants only to survive. Selfishness, the act of putting yourself first, is not inherently bad, and I'd argue it's even needed in moderation. Without that whole "What about me" train of thought, the life of the individual would be so very, very dull and even harmful.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
