Liveliness and Burnout

One of the most important things to remember when being the GM or a player for an evogame is that oftentimes, activity will just stop. This is unavoidable, but that's fine. How one deals with the inactivity is the most important part.

As a GM, one of the best ways to get out of a slump is to put rules in place to allow players to be active after awhile. In pixel evogames, it's common to have a rule against evolving an organism you just evolved, but having an exception after a few weeks or months can help keep the momentum going. You can also evolve organisms too. If players can't think of anything, but you have a few ideas, you can make an exception for yourself and evolve some of the creatures to breathe new life into the game.
