If you want to follow someone playing with this, there's Steve Grand, who wrote the original creatures game and kickstarted something a bit more ambitious https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1508284443/grandroids-r...
There was this AI civilization approach shared here a couple of weeks ago, that I think is an interesting move in this direction - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42035319
We're seeing artificial life come back as non-player characters in video games.
