When I started these games there were no measurements, extinctions, or any other kind of silliness. So here's the deal - we evolve our base creatures and fucking deal with it. Then we make a chart to keep track of evolutions. And we like it. Here's the critters:
Scrote - Possibly the most important creature. It's a coral and its main food source is an algae under its skin. When parts of it die, they calcify. These make coral reefs important to many creatures. These reefs are so large they form small islands.
Slippy - This little critter lives in the reef. It feeds on small parts of it and its slender little body can exist in the jungle of calcium.
Scaw! - a bird-like predator. It lives on the Scrote islands and eats Slippys when it can catch them.
That's it. Our world is mostly ocean with small natural islands. If I feel like it I will pop in for some god-like intervention.
Slippy gets tricky and evolves a longer body. It makes escaping from the Scaw! easier.
Can we get separate images for the creatures, OP?
>>962763
Sure. Slippy is already in its own pic. So here's scrote
>>963169
and Scaw!
>>963174
In response to the growth of the Slippy, some Scaw grow longer, more prehensile necks.

Shitty skills is the spirit of the game!
Scrotes on the surface of scrote-islands develop green algae to take advantage of the bright sun. This has made their flesh more tender.
>>963317
In response to the scawl with their long thin necks, the slippy develop chopping blades to chop the neck as it comes down by bending its long body.

An off shoot of slippy becomes the red slippy. It is preys on Scaw! by chopping their necks off, but takes advantage of the fallen flesh. They sometimes also eat other slippy.
>>965091
To deal with the red slippy, the scawl evolve to have thicker and armoured necks, this allows them to feast on the red slippy (due to the red slippy being unable to cut the armouring) however as a downside to their thicker and slower (due to the armouring) necks, they can no longer hunt the base slippys effectively anymore and must sustain themselves purely on the red and bladed slippys who try to cut its neck.
A deep ocean variant of scrote develops, losing its green color for a blue phosphorescence.
Another one takes root in mountain lakes and tarns high in iron, and turns rust-red from the iron oxide.

you know you actually gotta post a pic right?
>>965104
I'll help you out here.
>A deep ocean variant of scrote develops, losing its green color for a blue phosphorescence.
Let's say it finds a way to feed on detritus

Well, there isn't much land, but I'll play along. Now there is one large island with mountains and lakes. This scrote has evolved remotely and thrives without any competition.
And what the hell, here's a map.
>>963317
The megascaw emerges from the need of greater musculature to fight off the new threats.
>>965091
The red slippy evolves into the Blender slippy. Its an overall larger version which spins to achieve a blender-like effect and shred prey caught within.
>>965264
The Scaw! are sick of being attacked by murder-fish just to get a bite to eat. The yellow-faced Scaw! emerges. It has a huge ripping talon to hunt megascaw.
>>965101
The CROCSKULL evolves from the armored scaw, combining both offense and defense in its now entirely protected head. It hunts all other slippies, impervious to their attacks (but is vulnerable to other scaws because of its slowness)
>>965270
The QUICKSCAW evolves from the yellow-faced scaw, as it thrives on preying on the recently evolved slower scaws (mega and crocskull). Its entirely yellow now as well.
The green algae'd scrote becomes a full-on plant. It only grows on the surface of scrote-based islands, but takes advantage of the oxygen surplus provided by not being under sea water and grows huge!
This is the mottled Scru!
I will make an evolution tree, but 4chin is being silly and giving my that image 404 bullshit right now.
>>962505
back in my day, our rpg's didn't even have rules or dice. we just fucked with each other and god modded, and everyone dealt with it.
>>966070
Back in the day, like when I created the game? I miss billu.
>>965267
A small group of the blender slippy that are tired of getting hunted by the crocskulls when underwater and the non-stop evolution gambits between the two species develops a symbiotic relationship with the >>965689 gaining green camouflage, air breathing capabilities and subsisting itself on the algae and scrottle. In return they ensure the protection of the mottled scru from predators.
The only part that the blender slippy has yet to be able to camouflage seems to be its head which the blender slippy uses to recognize other blender slippy territories
>>966306
Cryd and Symet were here. Billu is a loser.I'll work on a couple images in the near future.
>>966378
Don't talk shit about Billu, bub. I miss you, man. Where you been, what you been up to?
>>966306
congrats, you invented something cool, and then failed to improve upon it.
>>966581
You're not wrong. I find most people's improvements just add unnecessary complexity that puts off new players.
But you're right, I do need to improve on it. Any suggestions?
>>966348
>>965270
Some Yellow Faces, being out-competed for preying on megascraw from the quickscraw begin to feed on Green Scrotes (>>965080) instead. They wade into shallow waters and use their long talon to scrape off surface layers to eat.
>>965086
>>965212
Slippies on the edge of the reef start going out into deep water to eat the glowing brue scrotes. The ones who eat the most glow the brightest, so selection favors them. They become their own species of glowing slippies. They're called Deep Slippies until someone thinks of a better name.
