I have a minor in biology, but primarily most of my knowledge comes from a personal interest. I would still like to use my programming skills to create an automated version of this as a browser game, where each species is a different player.
But I am still quite busy these days, and it seems...
Very sorry for the delayed update. I don't really have an excuse- I just forgot. I guess I've been out of habit for too long!
New update is up now, though!
The Rizan develop improved Photometabolism and improved digestive efficiency- this permits them to make better use of the scare food available, allowing the population to once again stabilize for the moment- their proximity to the surface grants them a high amount of available stellar radiation...
The Rizan as a species move lethargically as if having woken from a long sleep despite their rapid advances in heat retention, or perhaps because of- while they move slowly through the cold media, their insides are abuzz with fervent activity, and a few members of each grouping of Rizan are...
It's great to see many familiar figurative 'faces'! And... even a couple new ones, which is always awesome! :D
In that case, I'm quite pleased to say that I'm prepared to end this hiatus! Does anyone actually want to vote on the (really really old) current update, or should I just go ahead...
Quick pulse-check. Who all is still here?
Terribly sorry for how long of a hiatus this all was, but I think I'm finally settled down at work, and I should have some time every so often to write the updates.
I made a very simple strawpoll: DO you want Dawn of Life to return?
Also if you...
I'm going to be postponing updates again. I know it's so soon after the last hiatus, but between starting work soon and how few voters we've had lately, I think it's best to give it a break for now, at least until I'm settled at work and I'll put up a poll or something to see if people still...
Through what can only be described as divine providence, the Rizan are gifted a brief period of extraordinary evolution, owing to their immense success at dealing with the first largest extinction event. With this, they evolve an improved tail, improved optics, a more advanced nervous system...
I should have mentioned this at some point so the fault is my own, but as of right now your means of reproduction is very basic, just the ejection of a single egg by a female, followed by insemination of the closest male. 'Birth' follows very quickly, leaving the young vulnerable but capable of...
Merry Christmas!
Behavioral and Adaptation votes made on Christmas, December 25th, will be double votes!
If you don't celebrate Christmas, consider it a happy holidays bonus, and be happy! :)
The Rizan take advantage of the thundering success of their previous adaptation, taking this...
The Rizan continue along their path unfettered by the threats of the apex predator species, developing more advanced vascularization and a new form of protein capable of preventing freezing within their bodies. The vascularization allows the Rizan to behave more continuously, distribute...
