What Is Uagi-Saba?
Uagi-Saba is a creature care simulator that takes place deep underground. Raise, care for and breed magical beings known as Mystics while harvesting resources, expanding sanctuary and exploring.
In-Depth Genetics
Uagi-Saba uses a realistic genetics system, every body part has two genes which can be passed on from parents to offspring resulting in thousands of body part combinations. Stats, skin pigment and many other parts of a mystic's DNA also have their own unique genes and can be passed on through breeding.Recessive and dominant genes, resistance to sickness, mutations and the incorporation of "wild" genetics. It's all possible...

Live Developement
I live stream Uagi-Saba development daily on TwitchCome on by and tell me what you think.
"A species at the end of it's line encased in a speedy ship, travelling across the stars with a sleeping creature in it's underbelly.
Hoping to rekindle the fire, a second chance at life they sped towards the planet to find their sanctuary.
But it the end what they found was only the darkness and a slow death.
They were playing with very life itself and now they would pay with their own.
Sometimes though from death springs new life and something below that cold soil still moves." The Writings of Uagi-Gretumo-Saba
