I used to come on here years ago and there were always 2-3 evo quests and i loved them. don't see any anymore. lets change that.>SettingYoung planet, only populated with single celled organisms in the oceans. For now, all the species are in the central warm ocean but are free to migrate as they evolve obv. There is no plant life on land (or in the water for that matter; we're pre-cambrian kinda deal), so the green on the map is just to mark climate/precip.>RulesModify the species slightly for each evolution. You're free to redraw the image if you'd like to make it look better. You must either increment the 'Gen' count on the image OR modify the name so we can track lineage. Each 'generation' is enough for a small adaptation/change, so we can say it's a couple million years.Please reply to the post that you are modifying from also to keep track of lineage <3In general, I'll say when something is bad and shouldn't be counted, otherwise assume all the changes you're making are OK (they most likely are; some guys just go a little crazy so i'll put a stop to that if it looks like its gonna derail or anything)In regards to double-posting, don't worry too much about it and just have some common sense. I won't say you strictly cannot double-post on the same species, but give it some time to breathe. If a species hasn't been touched in a while, feel free to reply to your own post again.I'll do some events after a few generations. No set time but if I notice it's getting stagnant then I'll do one. There will be more info in the post about what is happening.>Bonus stuffYou're free to create a few more 'starter' species, but probably just modify what I've provided. If people start making new ones I'll say when to stop and there won't be any more accepted after that.
>>5959572my 1st time trying to follow an evo quest. let's see what you cook.
>Evo quest is utterly dead/qst/ is in some serious fucking decline
>>5964729/qst/ has fallen, billions must evo
>>5959575>Boubab evolves more internal volume inflating its structure to store nutrients and tight coils to make reproduction easier
>>5959581>ZuzuWum looks like a plastic bag of wet cheerios but it got a a humble thankless job of taking out the trash recycling spent particulates of matter
>>5967922ZuzuWurm changes color to blend in with the sand. It gets bigger from the large amount of Boubab corpses littering the seafloor.
>>5959578He evolved a flagellum to swim towards prey. The two red swirls on his head are chemical receptors that help him detect it
>>5959576>Wiggle Wiggle
>>5967925>forwards is arbitrary but it means you are not crossing what you already ate up, even when there is no genetic front
>>5964729This is a spectator sport.
>>5969015How many spectators do we have?
>>5967987>motion and receptors are closely linked jerking jumping through the water towards food in the free floating swirl thats the ocean at this scale>both as a predator, as a organism with sexual reproduktion it needs to hunt for prey and partners more effective moment is a necessity for continue survival >evolution likes to use what already exists in the too.box instead of making anything completely new>water at this scale acts less like a fluid and more a jello
>>5967915BoubaB fails to divide properly, yet manages to survive, becoming a very primitive pseudo-multicelular organism.
>>5970949Actually blow my brains out.
>>5970949There there it's okay I like it just been depressed and stressed myself.I really need to get in the vibes but there is nothing I can find that explains the shapes of algea Hmm would it be neat if they grew into rings
>>5970950>>5970949in failing to divide properly they split into segments with segment walls around a slightly hollow central core offering extra durability
>>5970950Spreading out flattening makes catching the surface currents easier and increasing the surface area soaking up gasses and nutrients
>>5967987specialized mobility flaps to steer
>>5959576directional and a divot where food enters more easily
>>5967925catching food before it hit the seafloor increasing area and centralized digestion organells makes filtering easier
>>5981294Test
>>5981417-icles
>>5967925centralized ring structure make digestion more efficient decreasing the distance between them
>>5959581more flat and disc shaped makes cupping of water more effective spending them in the water column keeping away from areas of high predatory activity feeding instead on suspended particles
>>5959581evolving tactile pseudopods making them more motile over sediment
>>5967987swims by undulating it membranes flap generating forwards momentum and a opening in the membrane for chemical absorption in locating nutrients and mates
>>5959572Thanks for the thread my guy even if I have not been here often
