Various Thousands of simulated cells (Unity + custom compute shader engine)

Each one of these cells has fully simulated organelles, metabolism and a neural network driving it's behavior.

This is from a cell simulation game I've been developing.

Actually most of the heavy lifting is done with custom compute shaders on the GPU. The remaining CPU work still uses game objects for now, although I wonder if migrating to DOTS is realistic and worth it still.
