Gas Giant Aliens | Part Two | Designing Aliens
Earlier this month, I hosted a livestream where I designed a sapient alien that evolved in a gas giant. In the weeks since, I have been working on the lore and world building for that species with the help of my discord community.
This is the second video in a series of two exploring the lore of these giant, lightning bending jelly fish crabs. These two videos have been some of my favorite installments of the Designing Aliens series, despite (or maybe because of) it being a little closer to sci-fi flavored fantasy than "proper" spec-evo.
Regardless, I had a lot of fun working on it, and look forward to the next Designing Aliens project!

Gas Giant Aliens | Part One | Designing Aliens
มุมมอง 71K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
Earlier this month, I hosted a livestream where I designed a sapient alien that evolved in a gas giant. In the days since, I have been working on the lore and world building for that species with the help of my discord community.

A Man Asks His Assassin For A Refund | Cyanide and Cigarettes
มุมมอง 1.5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Cyanide and Cigarettes is the story of an Australian Crime Lord trying to get his money back from an assassin after the man he wanted dead is killed in an unrelated, kangaroo-caused car crash. This is one of those stories where I just thought the premise was funny. Like, what're you supposed to do if you want a refund from a professional criminal? Probably nothing, right, but what if you go aga...

Over the course of ten "standard" years the galaxy would be reformed by this harsh conflict. But a long stale mate would eventually lead to a definitive victory after the introduction of a terrible technology. P...

    With a large enough animal it's likely going to require a distributed brain, in the sense that each appendage will not be given signals so much as entire simple goals from the greater brain. In this sense, interestingly, the organism becomes almost a colony of structured cooperative minds. One being a tentacle arm for example, things seen from a distance has the instruction to grab incoming food item, and must use tactile reception, electro receptors or whatever to collect an item and retain it, then wait for further instruction

    @JRexRegis 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    There's an interesting conundrum in the concept of dryness. As subaquatic beings whose ocean knows no gaseous matter whatsoever, the idea of a gas, be it oxygen or anything else, would be as alien to them as a vacuum is to us - something they hadn't even anticipated the possibility of when they decided to go upwards. They might not even be able to conceptualize the difference between a vacuum and a gas - simply seeing both as the same nothingness, with one more pressurized than the other, but the difference not measurable by their physical senses. Dryness, then, would be the absence of liquid - but what does it mean for a liquid to be absent if all your species has ever known was liquid? It'd be like as though carbon ceased existing for us. Artificial evaporation chambers where all liquid is removed, resulting in trace gases and water vapor would be scientific marvels. They might not discover elements which naturally exist in gaseous form for a long, long time, resulting in vastly divergent theories for why things like stars are possible. For space travel, this would add an additional layer to overcome - we just have to exit the atmosphere and then the gravity well of a planet, but these aliens would have to first exit the ocean, then exit the atmosphere and then the gravity well. Lower rocket stages that use fins or propellers to shoot upwards from the industrialized ocean floor might be common, with installations on the frozen surface akin to space stations.

    I hope you won't get to bogged down with the scientific specifics. Not only is this speculative, its basically science fiction. Sure, do your best to incorporate what we understand about biology and chemistry, but please don't let those considerations stop or ruin the project. After all, there are 2 bodies of speculative biology - 'life as we know it and life as we don't'. Trying to feel in every single missing piece will cause the entire puzzle, that would have otherwise been amazing, to disintegrate! Throughout the universe there will be life very similar to Earth's, but there will also be forms that force us to redefine our definition of life.

      If you had one person explain the entirety of humans history alongside major ecological effects and factors deriving intelligence in specific detail they probably couldn’t. Trying to do the exact same thing but expand the history 5 times on a completely made up alien environment would be nearly(very) impossible without mass(more than current) cooperation. Even then it would take a lot of effort to make it seem unquestionable on any logic.

      exactly this! specevo projects get harshly criticized on these grounds a lot, cuz it's so easy to say "erm how did that evolve, it's too unrealistic 🤓🤓🤓" (which is then followed with "not too alien enough" if you make it too realistic, since you know, all we know about biology comes from our planet). but dodging criticisms is impossible since y'know, nobody can play god and know what aliens will look like from cell by cell of their bodies. you have to be a little Silly with it!!

      I agree. I pretty much assumed they were very balloon-like, as analogous to jellyfish of the skys, where they'd have a sort of cellular foam heated in the interior by metabolic processing. Perhaps they do fluff up and shed like we do with something like fluffy dust, becoming the equivalent of marine snow, from lower critters. It's fun to build this all out but def don't let it impinge on the themes and culture-building. Keep it up 🌟
