I suppose then the artworks should be integrated by 1.1.1/1.2.0 into the game

Hopefully. Plus another art submission should be started around that time for the next video in the series

Iirc it’s the landfall one?

Nope. It’ll go from the end of this video to the beginning of the super continent rifting apart. The plants may be halfway to full terrestrial clades at that point
