Evo game: Plante Platante
Posted: Sun May 01, 2016 2:59 am
Welcome to another Evogame. I find these quite fun so I would like to see how one of my own turns out.
How they work
Evo games are about evolving a creature and helping them survive. Anyone can participate and join in at any time. In this game people take it in turns to edit a creature in pixels. In each evolution only two things can be changed and the evolutions must help the creature survive in a way. If something is no longer needed then you can devolve certain parts, for example an aggressive creature looses it's tusks because it starts to become more peaceful. You can also split creatures. Splitting creatures means to make an entirely new species, for example a herbivore becoming a carnivore would be a split and only some of the species turn into the carnivorous kind. When splitting a creature, you add one letter to it's name. You can only split creatures every 7 evolutions.
Beware that creatures may fight and some species can become extinct. Our goal is to keep as many species as we can alive.
How to evolve
To evolve a creature you firstly need to save the creature you want to evolve. Now go to a paint program that has a pixel mode (I use Piskel because you don't have to download it) and import the image of the creature. Use the tools to edit it then export the image and save it as a png. Now upload your newly edited creature to imgur (you don't have to share it with the imgur community) then copy it. Remember not to delete your pictures on imgur or they won't work. At the top of the text box on these forums, there are multiple buttons. Click Img and paste the creature then click preview to see if your picture is working, put a little description of what you've added then submit the post!
This Evo game
This evogame takes place on Platante, a cold and icy planet with two moons and clouds.
These are the starting creatures. They live in a pond in the planet and have no eyes yet.
P
P are blue cells that are only 500 nanometres long who eats bacterium. However, they have no way to move yet so they have to let the current take them along until they find something to snack on.
J
J are very similar to P but are red. They are 350 nanometres long and feast upon smaller bacterium. They have a very similar strategy to getting food as the P.
E
E are green, plant-like creatures that attach themselves to the bottom of the pond and suck up bacterium on the ground. These are bigger than the other cells and are 800 nanometres long.
H
H are plants that don't live in the pond, but grow on the ground. These are approximately 6 cm tall and are way too big for the cells to eat but they occasionally fall into the pond. The cells might be able to eat these once the get big enough, if they aren't carnivores by then.
Always save the files a png, don't post anything inappropriate and have fun!
