So it will be a pretty late coming in terms of when those disturbance mimics appear?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

Yup as if we want it to become a mythical creature in stories the sapient species tells it’ll have to go extinct very close to the present day

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Btw do you also plan to have the plants seen in the background of the disturbance pic evolve aswell?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

Probably not. If it happens by coincidence then that happens but I won’t be going out of my way to create those plants

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Fair enough. I presume you will make your disturbance blind like the OG? Will it be a cave creature?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

No idea. If I had it come from a cave I think it would be on the small size but since I want it to be bigger it might just be a nocturnal creature

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Still kind of extreme to completely lose it’s eyes. Will this world have some special chemosynthesis-adjacent stuff going on like in mr42’s own spec evo project that could perhaps allow for the caves to be move lively and so support larger lifeforms like this one?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

cave environments aren’t going to be a major concern in this project so probably not

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe it won’t be 100% blind but have some very reduced eyes like a mole’s eyes?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

It doesn’t look like a creature that would burrow. However I could fake the blind look by giving it some arid environment ancestry that results in a large flap of skin covering most of the face

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So you aren’t going for the eardrum for a face thing?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I wonder how many limbs this disturbance look-alike will have?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

6 like the original methinks

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

I’ll try to replicate it but it won’t be a featureless face. The features will probably be underneath whatever I use to give the look that the disturbance has

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Or you could make it so that perhaps it isn’t the face at all but perhaps a forehead instead?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

Editing slowed down a bit as Voices of the void got a stable 0.9.0 update (it’s so fun please help) but I also decided, after some feedback, to add some Thrive gameplay as a backdrop while I ramble and have nothing to edit in footage or image wise

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Are you talking about the 1st video on the project or on the art contest video?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

First video of the spec evo series

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I presume it will be out in 1-2 weeks?

[Juuzo_Lenz214 (Juuzo Lenz)]

Hopefully if I like how it turns out
