You managed to get the greatest blessing possible: Double Posting. Itā€™s so good that even hhyyrylainen says that itā€™s the best thing a forum user can do. /s

and when the actual next round is done iā€™m gonna have to do it again!

Do we have an ETA for the next round or is this game permadead now?

no to both, iā€™m just burnt out from school, so i might get a few rounds out during summer break, but i probably wonā€™t be getting any out during the rest of the school year.

I guess this is also the reason why the backrooms game hasnā€™t started?

i have finally figured out what caused that debuff to start, and am fixing it. this update should make it much easier to read, especially if you follow a lot of recipes.

should i add a base storage thing thatā€™s just a fraction of the free space in your cells?


this right here was the singular best decision i ever made on running this game


reminder that half points are used after even rounds are posted for the odd rounds

It would be useful for storing resources. Def yes.

my speciesā€™ whole strat is accumulating radioactive compunds for fission, so storage would be very welcome

a few questions i need answered before i move on to putting in the actions and mutations:

  1. what type of unit should i use to show how many lipids are being made? a standardized unit where 1 = 1 FUCA membrane worth of lipids, or a relative one where 1 = enough lipids to make all the membranes in one cell of the species producing the lipids

  2. what should i call the stat that measures how much of the volume of your cells is already taken up?

  3. what should i name the buff iā€™m gonna be giving to players who got an energy deficit because of me redoing the whole system to actually make sense?

  4. should i make aerobic respiration be affected by modifiers to the efficiency of burning fuel

1 what is FUCA?
2 maybe ā€œtaken upā€?
3 maybe ā€œrecompesationā€,
4 I guess that you may add it, whatever it is

first universal common ancestor, basically LUCA but its THE start of all life on a planet

I think that then the lipid production stat should use the FUCA membrane as a standard unit.

how should i mark an ascension perk you got through a symbiotic relationship as/with a species that has the perk sharing perk to differentiate it from the rest of a personā€™s ascension perks?

Maybe do sonething like:
ā€¦, (Perk) (From Share), ā€¦

Edit: Itā€™s August, are you sure you can revive this game?

I will try once it isnā€™t unreasonably hot where I am (the high is getting above 90F pretty often this summer) and my computer has Internet, but until then, the state of the area my computer resides is not one that I can do anything that requires thinking and internet as much as I need to for this.


Reformatting is complete! And saved this time! Only, uh, (checks notes) 3 more systems to overhaul, and then I can start actually working on the new round! Oh, also, one system to make new perks was added, not giving any other hints about it.

How complex do you plan this game to beā€¦?

Yes.

I also need it to actually have GM usable systems.
