NESLife attempt #3

[North King]

Nah, Daft has better things to do than dream over a game that is perpetually delayed.

So when update would show up ? Can't hold myself from waiting!
Btw about how many years passed since first update? say 100 million years?

@NK, thanks for the link! It took a while but i saw the first 30 seconds. That's the one i remember from the show. Maybe unrealistic but it looks cool

Im afraid I probably can't update this again until near the end of next week.

I think closer to 500 million years have passed in this game. That would be an average of 25 million per turn, though more for early updates and less for the recent ones. But I really need to read up more about real world history of life... (*goes to wikipedia*)

You should have seen spore from a year ago. It was the best thing ever before it went to the kids.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Did anyone see spore yet? It was cmming out and it is supposed to be *shush!*

Yes...

I'd have guessed around 400 Million.

I saw it in March '06.

Ah yes, Alien Planet was a cool documentary. Though I found that I liked The Future is Wild more.

Though I own both.

500 million years? So we are about at the time where humans should be evolving? By creatures and how much we evolved we seem to be more around 100 million maybe 200... (dino's age! but we got none... thought we have weaker versions of raptors)

Seeing as there has been 1 billion years of evolution. We have some time left.

 

[North King]

Erez does have a point, though. Animals evolved fairly recently on Earth, in geologic terms.

 

[erez87]

Actually there have been 3.5 billion years of evolution. but over 3 billion of those were nothing but single cellular evolution and to the end a little jelly fish and sponges. As far as multi cellular creatures are concerned we have existed for about 400 million years, 270 of those (70 ago) ruled by dinos.. So this planet is rather slow evolving and rather strange...

That is a good thing. I do not want humans anytime soon.

 

[erez87]

lol, yes I understand that, I meant that means were more around 100 million years of evolution rather than 500... So it looks evolution advancement wise.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Hmm 500 million was excessive I guess. Maybe 370-400 million would be more fitting?

 

[erez87]

So where are the super evolved dinos like T-rex and Brachiosaurus's? Were just started having some animal family that seems to evolve big... and we just got crocks too... I'd say around the 100-150 million, maybe 200 unless it's true that evolution in this planet is slower. ?

I consider each update 5-10 million years (enough for genetic changes to take over) so we got between 100 and 200 million years which is my own personal count. (we could say each evolution scientists say another number and let it go )

Do you think every planet evolves at the same speed? We have different continental shifts, mass extinctions, different climates.

Evolution is all about statistics. How fast genetic changes occur, when they improve something and how long it takes for the animal to take place. It has nothing to do with WHAT the evolution actually does (which is influenced by the environment itself). Unless of course our creatures are chemically different...

You just answered your own question.

 

[erez87]

I said WHAT the evolution does is influenced. Not the fact that it happens. It will happen anyway...

But in different directions, possibly at a slower rate.

 

[erez87]

Thats not true, genetic changes will happen... Unless the chemistry of the animal is different. A change could just be some unseen changes, and it could be becoming better and more directed at what it's doing already. AIDS evolves much faster, but thats because of it's chemistry...

Anyway, there history of this world does resemble earth one in some areas - if you go by extinction times that means two have passed - now dinos come

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Hazzabout we settle for 300 million?

I consider this NES starting at a Cambrian Equivalent.
