I'm gonna make an effort to update daily, so the next one will be out in about 20 hours or so?
The last few updates have been drawn on the spot, so you can expect this kinda update schedule to continue as i feel it hasn't been too hard to keep up so far. Might need to purchase some more pens before long tho.
Also, i regret to inform that i won't be able to draw in coloured any time soon, since i'm pretty bad at colouring in general, i don't have the right pencils/pens on hand and it might affect the update rate i have going.
To be honest, i'm blown away by the amount of positive feedback I've received so far - I was expecting one or two replies at most.
Thank you everyone for stopping by.
Edit:
Also, votes will close some time soon.

This quest interests me already and the drawings are really nice and go with the tone.

Depends on what you choose to eat, but most likely you'll end up as a kaiju. Every meal increases your size and before long you'll start encountering more substantial creatures that you might have to battle.
If you want to though, you can angle for a different adaptation tree by hunting only the stuff that fits a specific theme. That would be pretty difficult though, as you would occasionally miss out on easy meals or have to fight more powerful creatures in order to steal their juicy adaptations.
Also, mild world-building spoilers here:
Many kaiju-sized creatures exist on this world already, some even the size of IRL mountains.

Heres what i am hoping we can do. i know it wont happen but i can hope. we become something like a brood queen take over this world then we go into space and start conquering other worlds it could be a new thread that continues from where this leaves off. again i know i probably wont happen but hey it would be fun.

Investigation is a free action so you will be able to investigate stuff even if it doesn't win.

Investigation free action:
---
[X] Burrow.
You're struck frozen for a second by the sight that greets you, subconsciously recoiling in pure fear. It is only momentarily, but in that time-frame you catch a glimpse of more movement across the clearing, behind the centipede monster.
A massive, six legged toad emerges from the foliage, before jumping down to challenge it's apparent rival...
Terrified out of your wits at this development and needing to escape before you are spotted, only one action springs to mind; Burrowing to freedom with your stubby larva-legs!
Instantly, you get to work, bending forward where you sit and tearing at the ground beneath your feet as though it'd wronged you in some way. Already, you are half way submerged and it's barely been a second of work!
With reckless abandon, you claw at the earthen soil that blocks you, desperate to escape detection.
At last, you're safe from harm, secreted away beneath the soil and you're glad for it - Those ominous vibrations coming from above you seem pretty dangerous, to be perfectly honest.
What do?

[X] Investigate: The thing that wants to eat us.
What hunts you seems to be a long-bodied insect wielding pincers and large fangs. It's mostly pale brown in colour and it's chitinous armour gleams as though polished. Most likely, it captures prey by grabbing it with it's pincers and mandibles before injecting it with venom.
Beneath it's fangs is also a cavernous maw, lined with razor sharp teeth. Perhaps it could use these to shred victims which are paralysed by the fang's toxins, dealing lots of damage?

Normally i would've forced you to make another conspicuousness check, to see if the toad notices you. However, due to the natural 20 you rolled earlier, i decided to temporarily ignore that rule. You are now hidden from both creatures.

So lets see here we got a giant centipede thing and a giant toad who are most likely going to kill each other. i would say wait a little while. during that time make some tunnels underneath this battleground and when the coast is clear come up and see if we cant get some meat and adaptations off of the loser.
[X] Make a tunnel network inches away and come up for food later (after a few hours).

An animal that goes underground to live and nest as well eating plants from the root up. Which makes us real pests for farmers.

[X] patient one gets the feast
-Keep an "ear" on the battle and when things calm down slowly emerge.
- if both are badly injured (cannot move) or dead feast on them before others investigate the battle. Focus on parts that have the most genes.(ie reproduction parts brains certain organs etc.)
-if the toad is dead but not the centipede monster flee
-if the centipede monster is dead and the toad is not wait to see if the toad succumbs to its injures.
-when done flee

Like the above plan but shouldn't we return to our burrow system instead of fleeing?

changed it. its not a bad idea stay underground and try to find remains of fights and just scavange for a while. i will remind every one make sure to check stats from time to time we need water and food if we hit 100% we die.
