“It is not the strongest of the species that survives,
not the most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

Evolution Fight is a rather simple idea I've been toying around with for a while now. The premise is simple:

Each round the players will be given a certain number of points to design a new creature in an attempt to craft the most successful creature of the round. Those which are successful survive and can be chosen as the basis for next round's players. Those that do not are removed from the tree of life.

Now, that's not a lot to go on, but I'm going to go ahead and throw it out there and see if anyone is interested in the idea. Its not a complex game really, so if there's interest, shouldn't be too hard to work out pricing of particular evolution and whatnot. Anyhow, if you're interested feel free to post here or join the discord: https://discord.gg/eje4qZH

I'm not going to say that it is.... but I'm also incapable of saying that it isn't.

Copying some things over from the discord:

There are several things that are important to consider when designing your creature: stats, attributes, specials, and behaviors.

The stats are: size, power, speed, stealth, intelligence, defense, and HP. Each one of these relates to how advanced your creature is. The stats are fairly straight forward, but if any need further explanation let me know.

Attributes are elements  of your creature you increase directly. These are normally related to the senses (sight, touch, smell, taste, ect.). For the example of sight, increasing the attribute will give you generally slightly better eyes. Using a special to give them heat vision or extreme farsight would be specials, which have more specific effects. Poison and venom are two unusual things that fall under the attributes section. As too do resistances of all kinds.

Special traits are particular evolutions from the trait list. These are special physical traits that your species has evolved. These traits often effect your base stats, or can give special abilities. For example, if your creature develops claws, that increases your power slightly as well as allowing your creature to inflict slashing damage.

Behaviors are specific things that your creature does. With no behaviors, your creature will simply sit there and starve to death. Some are going to be quite common, such as food searching behaviors. They're meant to be fairly specific ("Search for the ___ foodsource" rather than "Eat food."). Your number of behaviors is limited directly by your intelligence.
