Imagine the sapient life on this world realizing that stars are made out of hydrogen basically they might realize that the star their orbiting around is made out of the very air they breathe hydrogen

[Picsa_con_pinia]

Great project!
I really like the "mobile seeds" hope to see them diversify!

[bluefire]

I have watched a lot of YouTube. This is not hyperbole. This is creative and interesting thing I have seen. Ore so than game theory and kurkskasak combined

[magnolia]

I love everything that happened in this episode. The little plant larvae that are just too adorable and I want to keep like sea monkeys; the floating herbivores; and your approximation of their sounds~

Though more important than color or sound is what can the creatures see and hear. I feel like every specbio starter assumes that their critters have color vision. But why would they have color vision? How would they evolve it? Especially on a place like Methania, where everyone started grey or colorless, why would color vision even happen? And why would these creatures communicate in sounds that we can hear? Their air is mostly helium, so they'd probably be too high pitched for humans to hear. This is the stuff I think about.

This is what I'm here for!!!


Also have you heard about this little game project called Thrive? It's a game all about speculative evolution that I really think you'd enjoy! Maybe you'd even be a 3D designer for it who knows? ;)

I could see the capturambulators mouth tentacles later turning into shearing Chelicerae akin to sun spiders allowing it to better tear and consume flash. As for the island, I can see the flying species and the aerogastor being the only vertebrate on the island shall the pentacrab could get their by rafting or an independent group of pentacrabs could move on to land.

Absolutely incredible and truly inspiring too!

This has all been so fascinating, and it’s also very giving me some fun thoughts for my own spec events project!^^ (not to mention getting me motivated to get back into it xD;)

[pralaxelthomsen]

I really love project methania. It is really what I lacked with alien biosphere. Each time you release an episode, it motivate me for my own project.
Multiple question on the how :
where did you learn 3d and would your recommend some guide to follow for creature creation like yours?
How did you make comunication sound, what did you use?

Finnaly thanks again for this master piece, but sound volume was quite low (even putting my sound at 100%).

[minestar]

such strange creatures,
ths series is really great

[ZayZoot]

You know I gotta ask, would eating the larva of one of these plant analogues be herbivory?

[jwb_]

great work and wonderful believable creatures

[tysondennis]

I’d love to see what kind of creatures Episode 4 introduces!

[denissemirandagonzalez]

I cant belive an acuatic blob turned into this

[JenniferMcGee-vhmh]

The pentacrabs reaching large sizes due to changing atmosphere mirrors the arthropods of earths Carboniferous

[Gwelliant]

I see a lot of effort here, but can't stop seeing this project as just Biblaridion's "Alien Biospheres" 2.0 and another version of "Earth but different" - so what about focusing on more alien-looking lifeforms like those floating guys? %)

[diictodon]

I wonder if the main continent would break when time passes. Maybe it has no plate tectonics like mars. Guess I just need to wait to find out

[mangoandmatt]

why does every alien project end when it just starts getting good

[TheMobologist]

This sounds weird but someone should make a Minecraft mod that adds these creatures as a way for us to interact with them.

[Yaratito]

Would you make this an game (If you manage to learn coding, etc)

[Cranberrie]

"Opposite brachiation" is funny to imagine
