:Greetings dragons and wyrens! The Terrance Telechannel now presents their newest episode of: TuxLife; Evolution Exploration:
[The Camera pans over the Anthozar Fields of Hammus Tuxedorum]
:Welcome back! We had several technical difficulties, including a time warp on our recording studio, but we now have it all under control!:
[The camera tilts up to face a Spector, Suddenly, a weedy green ray missed the spector, flew over the top of the camera. The camera fall into the depths]
*in the distance*
What is that? Rhogar, are you OK? Direct hit in the head!
[Static, then several of the implanted cameras open, showing an unconscious dragon surrounded by worried dragons lifting it out of the water before the sea life can eat it]
:Lets um get on with the show:
RHOGAR HUNGRY! shouted the dragon, jerking awake. With a roar it scattered the nearby dragons. RHOGAR WANTS MEAT! it shouted as it flew for a rapidly fleeing dot in the sky.
*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
Pikt ran, or more correctly, waddled away from the EVOLVO-RAY! Back towards the command center. He waddled right into another Penguin, a cadet, who was shocked by his wild eyes.
Forgema Sir, whats wrong?l
I must have miscalibrated the machine or something, because a Spector turned into a Dragon, and its coming for the Glacier.
But But we dont have any weapons! And the Evolvo-ray stammered the Cadet.
Its EVOLVO-RAY!, not Evolvo-ray by any standard! interjected Pikt, picking himself off.
Whatever it is, it takes an absurdly long time to recharge! cried the Cadet, now also waddling in terror.
We must flee, send for the Helmsman! We must flee...
A thud, and the great Space Dragon, now sporting curved sail-like lumps on its wings, smashed into the station, clawing into its shields
This looks really good, time to evolve a species which has been just sitting there for a long time...
Tentacled Miner : MoreEpicThanYou
Evolved From: Thermal Miner
Genes (4): Mineral Eating x1, Heat Resistance x1, Pressure Resistance x1, Eating Live Things x1
Description: With its newly-evolved stinger tentacles, the Tentacled Miner can supplement its diet as well as defend its food by stinging and eating anything that comes near it. The tentacles, unlike claws, look extremely harmless, tricking many creatures into its grasp for shelter.
@tuxedohamm I have a question, how would you handle metamorphosis, for example a creature that has a caterpillar-like stage for much of its life and then transforms into something completely different in order to migrate and breed? Or would you rather not have such complexity in the game? Its something I've been wondering about since NESLife3...
What would I have to do so that they actually start to hunt (which is what I had intended for them, and have actually stated several times)?
I remember in update 1 when I got blocked from hunting because of that. Which is one reason I am miffed that they get to do what they did in updates 4-5 with mass-killing and eating corpses from the previous mass-kill.
Good luck on the images. I bet they will turn out perfect.
Spoiler :Gemitan Herbava : Gem Hound
Evolved from: Plankton
Gene added: x1 Plant Eating, x1 swimming, x1 drifting, x1 touch sense, x1 mass reproduction, x1 colony
Description:
Spoiler picture :
Note: Stage one is top left, Stage 2 bottom Left, Stage 3 Right side.
The dots around it in Stage 3 are the stage 1 spores. Stage three could be any direction, up, down, it could cause vine-like jungles in the Ocean.
In this one, the egg came first but I'll start with Stage 2.
The Stage 2 creature swims around attempting to find a near the surface plant to latch onto. Once it finds a plant, it begins to live off of it like a parasite. Eventually, the creature matures into the branching form of itself where it starts to release spores. The branches can connect this creature to several plants at the same time.
The Spores, stage one, float out on the current and eventually turn into the mobile creature((stage 2)) once a good feeding ground has been found.
This thing lives until it either has no food or gets eaten by something that develops to munch on it.
Long term plan.
I'm guessing plankton start with plant eating x1 and drifting x1 so ya.
Gemitan Herbat : Gem Hound
Evolved from: Plankton
Gene added: x1 swimming
Description: look at stage 1 and stage 2 in the strikeout post. At this point, stage 2 just crumbles and dies every now and then to form four stage 1 creatures. Can't kill plants yet by energy usage. Everything but stage 3 exists.
Spoiler Gene Ideas :Clonal colonization -> Allows something to create new plants or animals off of it's own self. Permanently connected.
Food Seeking -> ((Only applicable to plants that eat other plants or animals)) The plant grows towards, like plants that have photosynthesis, new food sources. Only with this, it grows towards a living thing.
Let's create something totally unique!
Mineral shell -> The shell is directly made of minerals taken from the ground. The shell is different with every creature with this. Prerequisites of mineral eating(level?) and shell(level?).
Groomed Shell -> The shell is made much like a clams pearl over several years. The animal grows no larger than it's shell and will never shed it. Prerequisite of shell(level?).
Spore Reproduction -> The plant or animal reproduces by releasing millions of tiny spores into the water or into the air. This one would require a prerequisite of mass reproduction(level?).
