Hello everyone, just thought Id put this here to let everyone know the progress of the next episode. I am about 70% done with It, I should be done with the models within the next two weeks and after that it will take 10-15 days to record and edit. Which means I will definitely be missing my deadline for the end of August, but I think for this episode it will be worth it. Expect episode 4 sometime in September.
I think that you chould have posted this on the ''Comunity'' section , well..that's what l think . And also l cannot wait to see more parts of this series , l find it enjoyable (if that's even a word) soo far .
There were a lot of clades introduced in this episode, and I felt a bit overwhelmed with information at times. A few more pauses would have helped, and I suggest marking the cladogram with colours to signify in which climate zones each of the clades exist. The food web has also gotten quite complex, and I'd love to see a visual overview of it in the next episode. This is shaping up to be an absolutely fascinating project, and I can't wait to see where it goes next!
@@projectrose6041 you could put a square aside of a specie to say what location.example(red square=pupil) and a x to say this specie is extinct p.s:you don't need to do that,but if you want,that thing is a specie diet i hope you have good day making speculative evolution ;^)
Agreed, the problems that exist are mostly small and due to awkwardness and inexperience. I would recommend simply finishing the series at a normal pace and then redoing the early episodes with the experience gathered from finishing the series.
Considering we call a type of cephalopod a "cuttlefish" and any marine lifeform with an exoskeleton or shell a "shellfish", the term is probably acceptable for alien fish analogues.
I love this project, I never thought how animals would adapt to a tidally locked planet. If I could make one suggestion though, could we have some kind of size chart? So we know how big everything is in comparison. Or is that a bit too much for the moment?
@@projectrose6041 Ah, then an impatient fool I was. Though can you show them in comparison to like humans or maybe earth fauna? Like the silhouette of a man or something.
As much as I like this series, I do have a piece of criticism for it. The series seems to ignore the effects any stiff internal structuring might have on evolution, as well as exaptation such structuring provides. On Earth, arthropods' acquisition of an exoskeleton just before the Cambrian gave them a huge advantage from the get-go, causing them to diversify greatly in the following periods. Though their advantage weakened somewhat later on, their exoskeletons have given them such success that will likely never wear off in the future of Earth. Similarly, annelids' cuticles made of crisscrossed collagen fibers allowed them to fill very large niches for worms from the Cambrian onward. This structuring gave these animals' bodyplans a lot to work with. The varying number of arthropod legs have been changed into an extremely varied array of different parts, from jaws to pincers. Annelids have less variation with their softer parapodia, but the idea is similar. In these videos, it often seems that creatures just summon new body parts at will, with little regard to exaptation given their body plans and hard structuring. They act like blobs of undifferentiated tissue.
Correction: 11:05, being thinner actually creates MORE, not less surface area to volume ratio. That's why animals in colder temperatures generally have more rounded shape. For a bit of simple example, take these two tall boxes: 1. Skinny box with 10 x 10 x 200 dimensions has 20,000 volume and 8,200 surface area (10 x 10 x 2 + 200 x 10 x 4). Creating 0.41 ratio. 2. Fat box with 20 x 20 x 50 dimensions has the same 20,000 volume, but 4,800 surface area (20 x 20 x 2 + 50 x 20 x 4). Creating a much smaller 0.24 ratio.
HYPE Edit: The fact that one of my art in collaboration with Radiocarbon appeared in the first seconds warmed my heart. I also like the concept of referring the zones of tidally locked planets as “Eyeballs”. I’ve got so many ideas for the current creatures!
I love how you didn’t neglect that radiation output of red dwarfs aren’t steady (by radiation I mean all types of light) and will include it in the next episode.Well another reason to love red dwarfs maybe
@@fantausy3830 Yeah, I guess He's just more willing to kill off a lot of his creatures than other youtubers of spec works. It is more realistic too, just not sure how he's going to pull the disease mass extinction off, but I do want to hear him out before assuming anything.
The quality of the series is getting better by the minute!You've certainly demonstrated your creativity this episode! So many new additions to the cladogram! I have to say though, you covered a lot and I think that might make the episode feel a bit overwhelming. We started out with different ocean regions and by the end of it we're looking at freshwater fauna and the conquest of land. Maybe you could separate those out a little, for example you could've explained the atmospherics behind the immense cloud cover at the pupil region and how that environment might affect the species found there. That's just one example, but in general I think you can flesh out regions more prior to moving on to whole new concepts. As for the models, I didn't really see anything bad, maybe a few looked a bit dark due to coloration and lighting. Ultimately, if you feel it's not up to your standards and you don't feel comfortable posting it, you could ask your discord community for ways to improve it or delay. There are millions of UA-camrs out there, but the best know to delay content when they want it to come out just right. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us, I'm so happy to see speculative biology series appearing more on UA-cam.
Thank you for the amazing feedback! When I was making this episode a few weeks ago I was trying to get it done before I left on vacation. So I definitely agree with you that the flow might’ve been a little bit off I had to cut quite a bit. As for the weather/atmospherics, I will be going into that in detail during the land episode.
Idk why but my brain was like “So basically, the midnight zone is frozen, devoid of life and stuff, just like a dark version of the moon Europa. I can see the ocean having hydrothermal communities and other vulcanic activity, bringing lots of minerals into the water. Also the water currents coming from the warmer regions might drop off lots of organic matter. I can see MASSIVE animals evolving here, mainly to maintain body heat and stuff. Im going for ghost leviathan subnautica style” Sometimes i love my brain😂
I would love life around red dwarf because 1) there is a lot more time for life to evolve into complex forms compared to other stars 2)I wonder how life would be in a tidelock planet.I would love to see creatures that is adapted to extreme heat,extreme cold or both if they are migratory
The midnight zone would be ten times brighter than Earth night with a full moon because the planets' orbits are so close (about 1.5x the distance from Earth to our Moon); the outer planets are close enough to create reflected nighttime light even on tidally-locked worlds.
I hate UA-cam's search, I try to find spec evo projects every now and then for over two years now, and only today I found this incredible series! By far one of the best on UA-cam, and I'm only halfway through this episode yet
Just a random thought I had: Mass extinctions caused by comet impacts would probably be pretty one-sided on a tidally locked planet, since the adaptions that help species survive comet impacts would also be the exact same adaptions that help species survive on the night side. A lot of hullaballoo is made about the scorching heat caused by the Chicxulub impact on earth and how burrowing and water-based animals were selected for, but another major factor is that, after the heat died down, the earth was in a state of eternal night for years. That's what really made the extinction a "kills entire orders of animals" extinction. A dinosaur could fluke its way into surviving the heat, but it can't fluke it's way into feeding itself without plants for 10 years. That's why the ocean animals died off even more than the land ones. The only animals that really survived were animals that were already adapted to cold, energy poor, tertiary food chains not reliant on photosynthesis, which could either hunker down and survive long enough, or survive on the leftover biomass of the previous ecosystems. This seems pretty much exactly like what the dark/twilight ecosystem consists of, down to a T. Given that there's no day time and it's always cold, animals from the night side might hardly notice the difference after the heat passed, aside from the fact that there's now much more ocean with a lot less competition. This could imply an extremely big proliferation of dark-side life every time there's an impact event, with light side life hardly able to compete. interesting
It strikes me that if plants evolved around the pupil, an area featuring much cloud cover, then they might evolve light sensitive structures that open and close their stomata, rather than using a day night cycle like Earth plants.
I love this series so far! I am looking forward to many more episodes and am already very interested and invested in this strange and beautiful world. I really like the little cheeky remarks in between all the facts whenever you introduce a new species as well. :) Regarding the quality of the video that you mentioned in the description: Your videos are of fairly high quality for an emerging series, I think. If you personally think you haven't met your goal of quality yet, taking a week or two longer to polish a video may help with that. I do understand personal deadlines though haha I am looking forward to more videos and have subscribed.
Interestingly, you could still have some very dynamic oceanic currents in the zones receiving light, and perhaps a bit on the far side if there is subglacial volcanic activity keeping some of the water liquid. Salinity will also play a role in the ocean's appearance and dynamism.
Oooh, cool, another alien biosphere! Loving it! Sometimes, though, there’s a feeling that an organism gains too many new structures out of nowhere. This breaks the immersion somewhat. But gosh, this is still sooooo gooood!
I wanted you folks to know how incredibly amazing your work is on these videos. I stumbled upon them by accident while looking up information on red dwarf systems, and especially on tidally locked planets, because I needed a little bit more science than I already had in my noggin to underpin a scifi story I've been writing for quite some time. These vids are just what the Dr. ordered; beautiful analyses which managed to cover all the basic intricacies necessary to understand such systems, as well as many of the obstacles and possibilities involved, some of which I hadn't considered until now, so thank you for that! This series has been extremely helpful, and I have been further riveted by your discussions of possible evolutionary strategies taken by fauna and flora in such systems; especially enjoyed the way you talked about coloration, I had known about the likelihood of black to purple foliage. but I hadnt really considered that effect in wildlife as well. I would watch a thousand of these videos and ever grow bored. I can imagine they're very time consuming to produce, but you have an avid fan if you should continue this series!
I'm writing a story on a tidally-locked world as well. Would love to chat with you about what you have for research, as info on climates is slim. Let me know!
If their brains work on the same basic electrochemical principles as ours (who knows), they'd need sleep, but not all animals have circadian rhythms- reindeer for example.
@g@m3 but why do most animals need it here? Think for a moment, please. Dolphins even sleep with one half of their brain at a time because that's how much more complex life NEEDS sleep. It's very important and a valid and even fun question to try to answer in these videos. Why are you so negative?? If the answer is "I don't think they would need sleep because-" that would be interesting or "they would sleep like this" but "no" is an un acceptable and actually rude way to respond to this interesting question.
It will be interesting to see how a extintion event like a asterod or super volcan could change the enviroment. But that this event happen in the dark zone. Thank you for your acured cretiviti
I realized something when i saw the map: If the continent was bigger, a different shape or in a different place life might have a very hard time making it to fresh water
I didn’t really care for this project at first but it’s really grown on me. I like the weird quirks of anatomy a lot of your organisms have, especially the four mouthed lads. I also always loved thinking about how life might evolve on a tidally locked world, and these critters and plants feel appropriately alien for such an alien environment
so have you concidered huge constant winds and water currents, what makes the zones more smooth, for example there can be further habitating zone in the twilight zone (it is shown too large) . Also you might concider that the planet still has some pecession/nutation, what would change the exposing area of the planet over a long time. Actually it is interesting idea of driving the evolution there
Really great job! This is a nice comparison to Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres series since this is being done with a red dwarf instead of a yellow main sequence star like the Sun. One thing I think you should have addressed about the planets is their atmosphere composition, are they all just Earth-like or is there something different in there (like the hydrogen sulfide in Alien Biospheres)?
Im assuming there all pretty earthlike as just the star and the fact that they are tidally locked is going to create some extremely different conditions to Earth.
@@projectrose6041 that seems like a good take, giving the planet's even more different things would shake up things to a point where it would start being hard to keep track of everything.
Im glad to see this topic expanded to many different peoples interpretations, and ive done some of this in my spare time myself, if i ever get to the level of making 3d models i might even attempt to record mine aswell, however right now im just doing it for fun
just found this and already watched the series. it's a great project! however, the models are a bit too dark on my screen so it's hard to identify external organs etc. yet interesting by description. and yea don't rush it, keep the good work.
I just can't wait for the unique terrestrial ecosystems on the midnight zone of the planet, and see trully bizarre creatures and survival strategies never seen on earth! You should watch Netlfix's Alien Worlds episode two, you could take inspiration from it, as it offers an insight on how life could adapt to live in the iris, and midnight zone! I mean I know that it's an extremely desolate environment, but life always finds a way! I also think that Cornugigantas could mostly outcompete Caulobrachids, even in hotter climates because of their Hemaphroditism and more efficient thermoregulation. But the Caulobrachids could still survive and retain their ecological niche, kinda like how both whales and whale sharks coexist with each other.
It truly depends how far species X expands into the planet. If it evolved to live in the lens or iris then it might see the planet as a flat surface. considering now many people on our own planet still see it as a flat surface it’s hard to say they’d figure it out. Could they figure out basic mathematics or other advance scientific methods on a tidally locked world. Or would they stay a simple hunter gather world.
I could totally see the twilight zone having ecologies where the producers are chemosynthetic rather than photosynthetic, maybe even more extreme than the vent colonies in the midnight zone!
A nice addition would be a scale in the corner, so you csn have a sense how large the creature is. This is a really interesting series, can't wait for more.
I'm loving how this series is going! My only compliant is that the models are pretty dark. I don't know if it's difficult to change that, but I think it would make it a lot easier to see the finer details.
Yes! I guess we narrowed it down to an issue with the Mobil devices. For some reason it looks fine on most people’s computers but phones(including mine) make many of them very dark. This is a really easy thing to compensate for I just didn’t know it was an issue before. So here on out should be better!
I really like this series! Although some of these misspellings really bug me.. at 8:54, i think you mean entrails not "end trails" and for every time you displayed the timeline, you misspelled appearance. I assume you use an image editing software to make most of the graphs for this project, which usually don't have a spellchecker, so I don't blame you!
Yeah I use gimp for all the bigger images. The timeline and cladogram get updated with each episode and I fix/add things to it all the time. I put a note down to fix these, so they will be gone next episode.
One thing, around 23:00 you indicate that plants were the first colonizers of land. Current understanding suggest a kingdom this planet is missing was the first colonizers of land on earth: fungi. Fungi made the transitions of plants from water to land possible by breaking down the rocks at the surface into a nutritious substrate. Fungi made the soil that plants needed to root themselves and get nutrients. It's interesting that there seems to be an absence of sessile heterotrophs on the planet.
I'm working on a similar project, a tidally locked planet around a red dwarf. While I'm not going to go through the whole evolution since it practically only becomes relevant around 1 AD, I still try to flesh it out as much as I can. The thing about plants creating sort of a rhythm of active and inactive periods actually makes a lot of sense. I figure some plants would eventually evolve to close their leafs during inactivity. They don't need them then and it protects them. Smaller plants, growing beneath trees, may even adapt to this and become active when the trees close their leafs and more sunlight reaches the ground. So, thanks for that thought.
And one thing.I think defenceless creatures(defenceless versions of them) after predator evolve should just die of since the variation with the defence mechanism is adventagous and would outcompete them.
It depends on whether the competitor with defenses is filling the same ecological niche. If they're eating slightly different foods or living in different areas the species could still survive even of they're no longer dominant. The defenseless species could also just evolve to spawn frequently in large numbers. From an evolutionary standpoint, an individual only needs to survive long enough to pass on genes.
i can already theorize how human-like life will use the angling of the plants in a forest to dictate which way to hot zones and which way to cold zones, also the fact that the sun never sets and it never changes the daylight should have awesome effects on societies
This type of content really makes me feel greatful to live with access to the internet, the fact that this quality of content is available for free and at my demand never fails to amaze me. My only suggestion would be to put a summary in text after finishing every topic as for some people the video may move too fast to retain the maximum amount of detail. Otherwise amazing video.
I enjoy the fact that this episode is longer than the first few! But I can see why people were having trouble keeping track of all the new clades... At any rate, the planet and concept of this series is very interesting! I definitely see there might have been some inspiration from bibilarion but this is much more exotic! I honestly might like this a bit better...
I'm really loving it so far. My only suggestions would be to slightly reduce the number of clades introduced but give those clades more description. A bit more focus on photosynthetic life would be ideal too as that would require a lot of detail in a world like this.
Just a piece of advice about continental drift on Eyeball Earths: since they're tidally locked, the're very much likely to develop permanent mantle superplumes under the Pupil and at its antipodes, making their crust bulge upwards over them. Mantle superplumes and their related crustal bulges make it very difficult for continents to either move or remain intact on top of them (on Earth they're the reason Africa's being slowly torn apart and Australia is slated to crash against Southern China rather than Eastern Siberia) and on a tidally locked planet they would keep supercontinents from forming either on top of the Pupil or at the center of the Midnight Zone.
Huh, neat video. I like it. Question, you mentioned how there were 3 different habitable planets in this project. Is that not going to be too overwhelming? Wouldn`t it be better to focus on just 2, maybe 1? Bib is having many issues with just the 1 planet he has. Although you do have planets that have effectively only 50% of their surface habitable, so maybe I am wrong. Also, one more thing. In this video, you were going very quickly, and although you are talking clearly, all of the different species can get confusing. Perhaps it would be good to show them in separate evolutionary trees with their common group, to clarify their relation to other species, and to show the lines that connect them in different colors based on where they are. And maybe, you could put in small breaks, like: These adaptations will help these species thrive in this environment for a long time..." while showing a very generic picture of the planet, or the general biome. It might help cool things down.
Will you make inteligent life evolve in one of the planets and then make a season 4 about interaction between planets (since inteligent life is necessary for that)
Intelligence isn’t necessary for that, while more likely for intelligence to be the leading cause of interaction, a collision could knock a species from one planet to another.
I immediately thought: Nature has once again created the crab. Granted on Earth that only happens with crustaceans, but it's still funny it keeps happening. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation

I really like the little cheeky remarks in between all the facts whenever you introduce a new species as well. :)
Regarding the quality of the video that you mentioned in the description:
Your videos are of fairly high quality for an emerging series, I think.
If you personally think you haven't met your goal of quality yet, taking a week or two longer to polish a video may help with that. I do understand personal deadlines though haha
I am looking forward to more videos and have subscribed.
we're already speculate about life forms we will meet, but I convinced, that those life forms will be waaay astonishing.
Interestingly, you could still have some very dynamic oceanic currents in the zones receiving light, and perhaps a bit on the far side if there is subglacial volcanic activity keeping some of the water liquid. Salinity will also play a role in the ocean's appearance and dynamism.
was trying to explain tidally locked planets to someone and the graphic at the start of the vid was really helpful, ty!
This episode was very good and you've definitely improved a lot, can't wait for the next video
Oooh, cool, another alien biosphere! Loving it! Sometimes, though, there’s a feeling that an organism gains too many new structures out of nowhere. This breaks the immersion somewhat. But gosh, this is still sooooo gooood!
I wanted you folks to know how incredibly amazing your work is on these videos. I stumbled upon them by accident while looking up information on red dwarf systems, and especially on tidally locked planets, because I needed a little bit more science than I already had in my noggin to underpin a scifi story I've been writing for quite some time. These vids are just what the Dr. ordered; beautiful analyses which managed to cover all the basic intricacies necessary to understand such systems, as well as many of the obstacles and possibilities involved, some of which I hadn't considered until now, so thank you for that! This series has been extremely helpful, and I have been further riveted by your discussions of possible evolutionary strategies taken by fauna and flora in such systems; especially enjoyed the way you talked about coloration, I had known about the likelihood of black to purple foliage. but I hadnt really considered that effect in wildlife as well. I would watch a thousand of these videos and ever grow bored. I can imagine they're very time consuming to produce, but you have an avid fan if you should continue this series!
I'm writing a story on a tidally-locked world as well. Would love to chat with you about what you have for research, as info on climates is slim. Let me know!
love your series
Damn I love some good speculative biology. The series looks amazing so far keep it up!
I wonder how larger organisms would deal with sleeping, like, is it a requirement for life? Its a very interesting question I think.
Sort of, but they won't use a light based circadian rhythm
@g@m3 removes toxins and is important for most multicellular life beyond a certain point
g@m3 and most aliens
If their brains work on the same basic electrochemical principles as ours (who knows), they'd need sleep, but not all animals have circadian rhythms- reindeer for example.
@g@m3 but why do most animals need it here? Think for a moment, please. Dolphins even sleep with one half of their brain at a time because that's how much more complex life NEEDS sleep. It's very important and a valid and even fun question to try to answer in these videos. Why are you so negative?? If the answer is "I don't think they would need sleep because-" that would be interesting or "they would sleep like this" but "no" is an un acceptable and actually rude way to respond to this interesting question.
I’m really enjoying this series. I love your different, and rather ambitious, speculative evolution.
Im so glad this series got recomened to me
It will be interesting to see how a extintion event like a asterod or super volcan could change the enviroment. But that this event happen in the dark zone. Thank you for your acured cretiviti
A major volcanic event feels like it should be the climax or follow-up of an episode introducing global wind patterns.
I realized something when i saw the map: If the continent was bigger, a different shape or in a different place life might have a very hard time making it to fresh water
You are my favourite youtube channel at the moment, this is great!
This third episode too was a delight to watch - many thanks for sharing!
I didn’t really care for this project at first but it’s really grown on me. I like the weird quirks of anatomy a lot of your organisms have, especially the four mouthed lads. I also always loved thinking about how life might evolve on a tidally locked world, and these critters and plants feel appropriately alien for such an alien environment
Man, i'm so happy that you almost have 10k subs, and i'm proud to be a part of those 8.000!
so have you concidered huge constant winds and water currents, what makes the zones more smooth, for example there can be further habitating zone in the twilight zone (it is shown too large) .
Also you might concider that the planet still has some pecession/nutation, what would change the exposing area of the planet over a long time. Actually it is interesting idea of driving the evolution there
your work is fantastic! really love
it man keep it up
6:26 Oh, look! Gergo made these in Spore! Now I want to do something similar myself bruh
Really great job! This is a nice comparison to Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres series since this is being done with a red dwarf instead of a yellow main sequence star like the Sun.
One thing I think you should have addressed about the planets is their atmosphere composition, are they all just Earth-like or is there something different in there (like the hydrogen sulfide in Alien Biospheres)?
Im assuming there all pretty earthlike as just the star and the fact that they are tidally locked is going to create some extremely different conditions to Earth.
@@projectrose6041 that seems like a good take, giving the planet's even more different things would shake up things to a point where it would start being hard to keep track of everything.
Darn, I've reached the end and was expecting more to find none! Thank goodness this series is ongoing. Can't wait for future installments!!!!
Gurl this is awesome
Im glad to see this topic expanded to many different peoples interpretations, and ive done some of this in my spare time myself, if i ever get to the level of making 3d models i might even attempt to record mine aswell, however right now im just doing it for fun
I seem to have become addicted to speculative evolution series. This is another round of crack in my veins
These are incredible, whatever pace you make them, I’ll be here for them!
just found this and already watched the series. it's a great project! however, the models are a bit too dark on my screen so it's hard to identify external organs etc. yet interesting by description. and yea don't rush it, keep the good work.
Completely agree, surprised not to see everyone mentioning how dark the models are, especially compared to the bright background.
I just can't wait for the unique terrestrial ecosystems on the midnight zone of the planet, and see trully bizarre creatures and survival strategies never seen on earth! You should watch Netlfix's Alien Worlds episode two, you could take inspiration from it, as it offers an insight on how life could adapt to live in the iris, and midnight zone!
I mean I know that it's an extremely desolate environment, but life always finds a way! I also think that Cornugigantas could mostly outcompete Caulobrachids, even in hotter climates because of their Hemaphroditism and more efficient thermoregulation. But the Caulobrachids could still survive and retain their ecological niche, kinda like how both whales and whale sharks coexist with each other.
I never really thought of it. But with a world tidily locked with its sun it’s sentient beings could probably see a flat earth theory as correct.
Not really, as the further you go in any direction from the iris, the more the sun sets. Making only sense for at least a half sphere
I agree w/ Dennis the parallax will probably make it easier to realize they have a spherical earth
It truly depends how far species X expands into the planet. If it evolved to live in the lens or iris then it might see the planet as a flat surface. considering now many people on our own planet still see it as a flat surface it’s hard to say they’d figure it out. Could they figure out basic mathematics or other advance scientific methods on a tidally locked world. Or would they stay a simple hunter gather world.
Evolution and intelligence would take a radically different path on a tidally locked world. If it developed at all.
Yo, I love a good eyeball world! Fascinating stuff, keep it up! I’m glad to have found your series btw, we need more spec-evo on UA-cam.
@Hayden D. Toa Yo! ✌️
Nice to see you here Grey, love your videos
@@Azuricringel Hiya, and thank you! It’s nice to see you supporting Project Rose 😁
This looks amazing!
I could totally see the twilight zone having ecologies where the producers are chemosynthetic rather than photosynthetic, maybe even more extreme than the vent colonies in the midnight zone!
PIGLIN APPROVES
A nice addition would be a scale in the corner, so you csn have a sense how large the creature is.
This is a really interesting series, can't wait for more.
*hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Agreed, Mr. Red cetacean
Sir Crimson Toothless Cetacean
@@couldntthinkofayoutubename6498 yes.
Yes
I'm imagining a future involving the Tiran/Nuskuan Alliance!
Do you model in Blender? I would love to see a behind the scenes on how you make your models and assets!
I'm loving how this series is going! My only compliant is that the models are pretty dark. I don't know if it's difficult to change that, but I think it would make it a lot easier to see the finer details.
Yes! I guess we narrowed it down to an issue with the Mobil devices. For some reason it looks fine on most people’s computers but phones(including mine) make many of them very dark. This is a really easy thing to compensate for I just didn’t know it was an issue before. So here on out should be better!
oh, it's like (creating a planet and a biosphere) i like what you do + respect
I really like this series! Although some of these misspellings really bug me..
at 8:54, i think you mean entrails not "end trails" and for every time you displayed the timeline, you misspelled appearance.
I assume you use an image editing software to make most of the graphs for this project, which usually don't have a spellchecker, so I don't blame you!
Yeah I use gimp for all the bigger images. The timeline and cladogram get updated with each episode and I fix/add things to it all the time. I put a note down to fix these, so they will be gone next episode.
27:22
"Darkest Corners of Nusku"
Oh no it's Cthulhu
One thing, around 23:00 you indicate that plants were the first colonizers of land. Current understanding suggest a kingdom this planet is missing was the first colonizers of land on earth: fungi. Fungi made the transitions of plants from water to land possible by breaking down the rocks at the surface into a nutritious substrate. Fungi made the soil that plants needed to root themselves and get nutrients.
It's interesting that there seems to be an absence of sessile heterotrophs on the planet.
we will watch your career with great interest
I'm working on a similar project, a tidally locked planet around a red dwarf. While I'm not going to go through the whole evolution since it practically only becomes relevant around 1 AD, I still try to flesh it out as much as I can. The thing about plants creating sort of a rhythm of active and inactive periods actually makes a lot of sense. I figure some plants would eventually evolve to close their leafs during inactivity. They don't need them then and it protects them. Smaller plants, growing beneath trees, may even adapt to this and become active when the trees close their leafs and more sunlight reaches the ground. So, thanks for that thought.
I found this series today and I can’t wait to see where it is going
And one thing.I think defenceless creatures(defenceless versions of them) after predator evolve should just die of since the variation with the defence mechanism is adventagous and would outcompete them.
Sorry for bad english
It depends on whether the competitor with defenses is filling the same ecological niche. If they're eating slightly different foods or living in different areas the species could still survive even of they're no longer dominant.
The defenseless species could also just evolve to spawn frequently in large numbers. From an evolutionary standpoint, an individual only needs to survive long enough to pass on genes.
I'm loving your creativity man, have high hopes for you and your channel!
i can already theorize how human-like life will use the angling of the plants in a forest to dictate which way to hot zones and which way to cold zones, also the fact that the sun never sets and it never changes the daylight should have awesome effects on societies
I love this so much! Looking forward to the next video in the series!
Your literally doing God’s work, amazing Chanel keep doing what your doing can’t wait to see more.
This type of content really makes me feel greatful to live with access to the internet, the fact that this quality of content is available for free and at my demand never fails to amaze me. My only suggestion would be to put a summary in text after finishing every topic as for some people the video may move too fast to retain the maximum amount of detail. Otherwise amazing video.
Dang it 6 hours, i cant wait for this omg
Finally a seahorse adapted alien!!
Wonderful progress already! Love the feel of this series so far. Keep up the good work :)
Very cool, can’t wait to see where this goes
This looks very good and is very entertaining! Keep going, I can't wait to see more! :)
I enjoy the fact that this episode is longer than the first few! But I can see why people were having trouble keeping track of all the new clades... At any rate, the planet and concept of this series is very interesting! I definitely see there might have been some inspiration from bibilarion but this is much more exotic! I honestly might like this a bit better...
This is a great series. It s up there with biblaridions series. But i have a question, what program do you use to make the 3d models?
He uses blender
@@jorgenieto9703 thanks
Amazing work i cant wait to see more
This is spectacular work
I'm really loving it so far. My only suggestions would be to slightly reduce the number of clades introduced but give those clades more description.
A bit more focus on photosynthetic life would be ideal too as that would require a lot of detail in a world like this.
Just a piece of advice about continental drift on Eyeball Earths: since they're tidally locked, the're very much likely to develop permanent mantle superplumes under the Pupil and at its antipodes, making their crust bulge upwards over them. Mantle superplumes and their related crustal bulges make it very difficult for continents to either move or remain intact on top of them (on Earth they're the reason Africa's being slowly torn apart and Australia is slated to crash against Southern China rather than Eastern Siberia) and on a tidally locked planet they would keep supercontinents from forming either on top of the Pupil or at the center of the Midnight Zone.
Huh, neat video. I like it. Question, you mentioned how there were 3 different habitable planets in this project. Is that not going to be too overwhelming? Wouldn`t it be better to focus on just 2, maybe 1? Bib is having many issues with just the 1 planet he has. Although you do have planets that have effectively only 50% of their surface habitable, so maybe I am wrong.
Also, one more thing. In this video, you were going very quickly, and although you are talking clearly, all of the different species can get confusing. Perhaps it would be good to show them in separate evolutionary trees with their common group, to clarify their relation to other species, and to show the lines that connect them in different colors based on where they are. And maybe, you could put in small breaks, like: These adaptations will help these species thrive in this environment for a long time..." while showing a very generic picture of the planet, or the general biome. It might help cool things down.
Will you make inteligent life evolve in one of the planets and then make a season 4 about interaction between planets (since inteligent life is necessary for that)
Probably
Intelligence isn’t necessary for that, while more likely for intelligence to be the leading cause of interaction, a collision could knock a species from one planet to another.
@@ack7 how would the species survive outer space?
Water bears are a good example
@@orbismworldbuilding8428 they wouldn’t survive for that long, plus even if extremophyles evolve, the other planet’s native diseases will kill them
Love this series! Keep up the awesome work!
This project is great! I can't wait to see more of it!
I am so exited!
Another speculative zoology thing! Subbed!
Everyone gangsta until the Qu eventually find this planet and completely scrabble the local fauna
Press f in the chat for nuskuian life if that happens
I see u also have been getting a ton of those all tomorrow videos recommended to u
Yes
Now im imagime some post-human in this world fighting the intelligent native one and then unifiy to colonize the stars
13:30 if we ever encounter such an alien we'll call it a crab.
I immediately thought: Nature has once again created the crab.
Granted on Earth that only happens with crustaceans, but it's still funny it keeps happening.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation
This is getting better and better :)
will be looking out for more
I really like tidally locked planets! I'm loving project rose
This series is wonderful
