The Spore Game: New Life on Planet Agaman

[C'nor]

Seconding that suggestion. To the air!

[GuesssWho]

And then we can become creepy bird-things LOL

[C'nor]

Nah, we have jets. We'll become creepy living airplanes.

[goser234]

Amphibious qualities ho!

I wanna be a species of creepy living airplanes

[Douhugal]

To the great beyond! let us concur the sky!
Fourthing

Looking at our evolution we will become jet propelled balloon floated airship creepers ^^

Hmm what are all the evolutions we have taken? the first post isn't really clear about it nvm made a better ordered version of the original in a txt file.

[GuesssWho]

Yay for jets with tentacles.

[Lothorn]

Mind if I join??

[Douhugal]

Well it is an open-game, even I jumped just right in so I think it isn't a problem.

Creepy living horned airplane-tanks. Sounds good.

With enough DNA and evolutionary juices to choke a horse, you descend back down into your nest below the Crept and return to your nest. Being exhausted after your encounter with the airborne creatures that live above the Solarian, you sleep, and the rest of your small pack do the same around you. As you drift off by the sound of the rocking waves above your evolutionary juices get to work.

Your semi-new air bladder begins to grow some strange veins and webbing within, which are capable of absorbing oxygen from the air instead of water. Your respiratory system is now unusually complex, as you can both absorb oxygen from air and water and you can filter the oxygen in water into your proto-lungs for use as an air bladder underwater.

When you wake you find that it's slightly more complex to breathe without taking in water into your lungs, but with several minutes of practice, you find that you can swap between water and air when breathing. It's time to ascend.

Using your proto-lungs you ascend the trunk of the crept and reach the top of the Solarian. You hesitate, though. Are you sure you are ready to move into the strange world above the Solarian? Your choice begins here.

We shall BREATHE!!!!

[Koda the kobold]

Should we evolve a better form of transportation first? this is a big decision an...I'm not sure we'll survive too long without one.

[GuesssWho]

We're apparently getting wings ASAP . . .

[Douhugal]

We already have an airbladder and jets, why not convert those to make flight possible?

I would advice to evolve spit and some kind of glue, than go to the outer skies.
Oh and evolve more protection, like the solarian creature has. We did eat it so we should have at least some of its evolotions

Seconded. I suppose we can convert our jets.

[KoboldRevenge]

I have been missing this game lately so I though I might try and give it another go. We're taking it to the stars baby!

So, Thirded. We'll be flying hawks impaling things with our tusks.

EDIT: So my vote is to go up to the surface. But you know not like forever, we still need to get the rest of our clan to follow us up. Just to go check it out.

[goser234]

agreeing with Kobold, only scouting it out then coming back.

[Douhugal]

Add on: scout the solarian then return and evolve some more.

If we can use a tactic that involves grabbing airbreathers and killing them by drowning I am all up for it XD.

hahahaha

[Lothorn]

going with the bandwagon

[KoboldRevenge]

Hey, uh it's been 7 days since the last update, are you ok? Just checkin.

[Cealocanth]

I'm fine, just been busy and haven't gotten the chance to check the forums.

With few Naargal following close behind, you are the first to press your tusks up against the Solarian and break it's tension. Slowly, you use your newly formed proto-lungs and ascend through the Solarian, the bright blue star in the sky glistening off your purple exoskeleton. As you use your tentacles to drag yourself onto the upper fronds of the Crept, you feel the heat of the star beading down on you like never before, and you feel much heavier, as if you are no longer being supported by any air bladder of any kind.

Suddenly your lungs contract and you spew a thin white foam out of your mouth, and shortly afterward, your lungs suddenly fill with the thin air above. Your body begins to suddenly flourish with activity, as you find yourself breathing faster and harder, as you push the surprisingly thin fluid in and out of you. Besides the slightest feeling of being immensely heavy and not quite getting enough air, you have survived above the water.

Gargling and splashing sounds behind you alert you to the presence of several other Naargal spewing white froth onto the surface of the Solarian. Knowing that you are now accompanied by your pack, you pause to examine the world above the Solarian.

You rest on a large field of the upper fronds of Crepts, forming an algae-like growth on the top of the Solarian that bobs up and down as the crimson water beneath it flows. All around you, similar strange flying creatures of the same species as the one you saw before and others feed on these fronds, mostly ignoring the new arrivals into their strange air-filled world. As you move around the general area of your entrance, you find that, even using your jets, it's incredibly hard to move above the Solarian.

Soon, you tire yourself by dragging yourself around with slippery tentacles and dive back into your water filled nest. You feel light and happier when you return to your native habitat, and happily sleep, preparing to evolve to suit this upper world.

It appears that above the surface, movement is a lot harder. Keep in mind that as you select your evolutions, that they can be re-funded for half their DNA price, no matter how old the evolutions are. The following is a list of how your current evolutions are affected above the waves.

Your tentacles do not provide any movement bonus.

Jets do little without special adaptation, which is an available evolution.

You are very densely built and if you do take up flying, you will be very slow until you shed some weight. (specializing or dropping the exoskeleton would do that.)

If you plan on walking around, you will need some other evolution tree that you are not on. You may specialize your tentacles to support your weight above water, sacrificing some underwater speed.


In other words, this evolution is a highly reccomended option.

Specialize Other: 0 DNA (Allows you to use or manipulate some other part of your body for a specific use. Requires Vertebrae. Costs 8 to remove.)

[goser234]

specialize tentacles into porto legs
if we cant do that, eat some more flying things

[Douhugal]

I would say specialise airbladder to Hydrogen or if possible helium bladder for effective balloon flight capability. If we would use hydrogen we could evolve spit and a encapsulating slime:
1. shoot slime ball,
2. break slime mix hydrogen with air.
3.explosion!
4. ????
5. profit

Oh and We need a proto brain asap!
Question what is the water made of and what is the air made out of?

I agree specialise airbladder to Hydrogen or if possible helium bladder for effective balloon flight capability.

And adapt our exoskeleton for flight :)

[Lothorn]

Agreeing with Douhugal

Thirding Douhugal

Though this hydrogen balloon plan might have the tendency to, malfunction?

That is the beauty of it! think fire weapon and if someone tries to eat us and succeeds we simply explode and burninate the assailant so it becomes food for the horde!

So yeah I expect us to start multiplying like crazy to make this kind of evolution completely advantageous.

Edit:
Our race will be the one who has spontaneous combustion as a viable way to die! Old people will just cremate themselves when the time has come! The great fire will have taken them back into the fold. Seeing such an event can be a rather spiritual happening for the people around them!

[Cealocanth]

In your grotto beneath the waved your species begins to change again, your age old quantum interfaced interconnected evolutionary juices working to prepare your species for a life far above the capsule where you landed so long ago. Burning off the residual DNA from dominating the flying creatures above the Solarian, you begin to use your primitive nervous system to further specialize the cells throughout your body. Your exoskeleton lightens and hollows, drastically lightening your species but still allowing you to survive impacts such as falls. Not only that, but each cell in the walls of your proto-lungs begins to absorb hydrogen from the water around it, making you not only highly flammable, but also prone to exploding. On the other side, however, you have gained a method for hovering several meters off the ground naturally.

Not only that, but when you wake, you find that an array of four slightly less prehensile tentacles have joined near the base of your species, creating a full set of tentacles, four on each side, capable of supporting your now lightened structure. You still sport a set of smaller cilia covered tentacles for aquatic movement.

Overall, when you wake, you feel like armored octapod capable of using the four frontal tentacles for environmental manipulation. Although your comrades appear to be very capable pack hunters, their movements are uncoordinated and not well organized. You may want to look into getting either a hive mind or a proto brain somewhere in the near future. You and three other Naargal ascend into the air filled world above.
-------------------------------
You shake off your cilia covered exoskeleton as you scramble your way out of the depths, followed closely behind by others of your kind. You notice that in the areas of the tentacles that have cilia on them, it’s easier to support your weight on them and you decide to use those hairy areas to pull yourself along.

You notice that not only is the hole that you created smaller than it used to be, but the small flying creatures have also decreased in size. You can now see that at the end of this patch of Crept fronds is a brown sand covered area, coming out of the red oceans into the dry land above. Your proto-eyes can’t see beyond the beach, but you do feel a strange wind wafting from it.

So evolve spit (2 DNA) and search for food.

Wooh we are combustible yay and can use our tentacles as limbs. ah well no worries XD we need flammable slimeballs and hivemind XD or if we want individual thinkers a protomind or both!

What do you think?
