[@BenGThomas]

Thank you to everyone for sending in your amazing aliens, the response was absolutely astonishing. In this video are two of the main groups introduced in the first video (expect another 1-2 parts after this looking at the others). I apologise for not being able to include every design, but there are just so many that it would be impossible to do justice to each one unfortunately. But I hope you like what we've done so far :)

[@redgrox3060]

I think that project it's a good idea for a survival game like the isle.

Wheres walking with dinosaurs part 4? And a new late survived raptor in Mexico has been discovered

[@nathanmartin2998]

Ben G Thomas Definitely worth the wait! I’d love to see all the images and descriptions posted together in a wiki or something so we can appreciate them in greater detail

[@Newbmann]

its here YES to bad my idea for a fungus type thing that more or less covered the floor of the southeastern archipelago didnt make it in yeah that was planed to live off of a combination of photosynthesis and scavenging off the dead animals that died on top of it.

@@Serpenfishil while watching the video I saw some creatures that would have worked well as a close relative to mine, if I had to do it again I would definitely try to work more with the community instead of doing it alone, I would have loved to think about the phylogeny of my boy

Imagine making an ARK mod replacing all the animals with these. Or even better , a full game. Like subnautica but on land. Amazing work everyone truly amazing

[@fishminicat]

[@ComradeCorvus]

Another way this could be done is via minecraft mods. Especially recently, a few mob/dimension mods have had a focus on speculative evolution.

[@EdmundiumHitting]

Ark 2 will be something similar

I can’t get over how high quality this channel is, in almost every aspect. The content is obviously always incredible, the editing is immaculate, but you even credit, onscreen, all the artists when showing any artwork or screenshots. Absolutely top tier, my dude. In my opinion, this is one of the best channels on KZbin and it’s what makes this platform so damn special (despite the pitfalls and downsides).

I’ve enjoyed this channel for a while, and speculative evolution has been one of my favorite endeavors for forty years now. I hate that I didn’t find out about this until today. I would have loved to submit one or more organisms, but it looks like there was a strong surplus of submissions, and that makes me happy. Thank you to everyone who created such interesting creatures for this series, and thank you, Ben G Thomas, for providing such a wonderful platform for them to do so.

Can't imagine the organization needed on whatever social network or website in order to coordinate so many people and their creations for this idea. Good stuff!

[@MiguelWario05]

I love this! My only and one nitpick is the fact that some of the creatures don’t have composite eyes, but appear to have developed single lens eyes, like one in vertebrates, being that the common ancestor of all of this aliens possesses composite eyes, it’s kinda weird how some groups have lost it in favor of a completely different eye structure, beyond that, and sorry for being nitpicky, this is an awesome collaboration and a beautiful project, I’ll be waiting for part 2

[@Swaggywrist]

Yeah doesn't really make that much sense now when you say it, by that logic there should be arthropods with cephalopod or vertebrate-like eyes but there isn't any. I still love this project though and looking forward for part 2 like you.

[@iamwhatitorture6072]

I really enjoyed the video. It's so interesting to see all these different creative ideas, artworks and the different kinds of art too. Like drawn, formed from that clay like stuff (idk what its called) and animation. The discord ran absolutely wild with multiple channels that got flooded at constantly by the people. And all this has then been put together to create one whole where everything falls together. I really liked how you threw in stuff like how people are still discovering species and such every single day on one island alone. I would have wished for more details, but you could make more videos that get a bit more in depth later, maybe focusing on a specific area and exploring the predators and prey or something like that. I think you can probably make a lot more videos about this, but I can see how all this can be overwhelming (this alone was a lot and I have no idea how much trouble all these taxons made in the recording). Anyway, I 'm excited for the next video. Great work of everyone involved!

Again, show those ecosystems to CIG, the studio producing Star Citizen, they are looking for scientifically accurate creatures to populate the many worlds of their game.

[@TheZapan99]

@Shasvin Puvanesvaran I can only see benefits for them. They pride themselves being in touch with their community inputs, and they already have included very specific talents, like a conlanger for their alien languages or an architect that reviews their spaceship designs. Going one step further with a collaborative biosphere would cement their reputation of being a community-driven studio.

[@TheZapan99]

@Shasvin Puvanesvaran Yes, but I think everybody would be on board for that, even if that just means to be credited in-game.

[@Mr.Icemang]

Don’t believe everything you see, I’m not discrediting this but they have no papers posted in the description that are peer reviewed, and peer reviewed means research posted at a collegiate level by a professional and then checked by other professionals.
