Macroscopic Easter Eggs

What are everyone’s ideas for Easter Eggs in this stage? My apologies if this overlaps with another thread. It would be cool to have the Willosaur from the original Spore Demo swimming around in Macroscopic.

Or just have it drift around like the spore cell easteregg.

Honestly, the only easter egg I can think of that I’d really want to see is an Anthostome or Polypod floating around at the start of Macroscopic, and that’s because Alien Biospheres is what got me into spec-evo in the first place (I am only otherwise associated with it through Thrive).

I guess we could use adding alien biospheres eastereggs into the game…

Maybe other projects like Serina or Amphiterra could be added as easter eggs. Even better, caridicosmos All Tomorrows!

Are we sure these will still be relevant by the time achievements are added into the game?

I hope so, because frogs and birds are cool!

That doesn’t mean all will remember them in half a decade or a full.

The speculative evolution genre moves rather slowly, and it usually makes sense to make tributes to the classics. Serina and All Tomorrows are both very classic imo and will likely be considered relevant even if spec Evo goes mainstream, or a century from now.

We’ll see if more popular titles yet to come won’t push them into the shadows…

Serina straight up invented the seed world genre. I’m not sure how a new spec evo project can top that, other than making a new genre somehow better.

I mean the only way to bury it is burying seed worlds.

No wait, wouldn’t these projects like serina be more belonging to aware rather than macroscopic?

Serina yes, all tomorrows space stage. I don’t really know what would be a good macroscopic easter egg, but ye.

Maybe we could have some speculative plants/fungi as macroscopic eastereggs as those organism belong in this stage?

So this includes glowing, radiotrophic mushrooms?

Yeah, those could perhaps rarely spawn in some “mystic” places.

No more to be said.

I think that’s an aware stage organism, not macroscopic…

Who cares, Narotiza put it in multicell, before macroscopic was planned to be a stage! But yeah, that is aware stage. I just don’t know if there is a thread for aware stage easter eggs.
