      Writing speculative evolution (and general writing) ain't easy and it takes time. Lots of time.
      Serina as a project started aaaaall the way back in 2015.

      @@ZeoViolet Yeah, though as a person who really is following the project, I have seen that it was somewhat updated faster than before (from my view at least) and loads of content were added; I was questioning why there weren't any new episodes/parts on this channel. And yeah I know he made some continuation on the series actually not that long ago but it still felt like he abandoned it before the new videos of Serina appeared.

      It is really impressive how the author writes AND draws all the stuff himself, although sometimes Trollman makes the drawings (or even entries I think). He also keeps a really good pace.

Every second new species is called something like "flim-flamwalker" or "hot-pocketgobbler" or "Sheogorath". I know it's a pain in the ass to name so many new species so often, and this is definitely one of the more biodiverse eras so I totally get what happened here.

      that was basically the whole gist of the Skuorcs. Metamorphic birds changed the game a lot when they first arose with neotenic "birdfishes" that took onto the waters along with fishes and snails, Skuorcs brought it a step further by not becoming birds and staying in that "bird lizard" teenage stage which was what allowed them to develop the skeletal structure to re-unlock the dinosaur bodyplan. in fact, Skuorcs are now also converging into mammals themselves with things that look like opossums and weasels too.

    Molluscs are such amazing and fascinating creatures. I absolutely love that gastropods have risen as a third major lineage along side the birds and tribbets.
    Back on Earth it is from the cephalopods branch of phylum mollusca that one of my all time favorite speculative life forms evolves: the Squibbon.
    Now it is the gastropods turn on Serina, and I am beyond excited.

I can understand why you’d want to branch out in content, and perhaps the imposter syndrome that might come from feeling like your success is dependent upon other people’s work, but for me, works like Serina and a lot of CM Koseman projects feel inextricably entangled with the Curiosity Archive.

    I've loved the recent essay content you've been making, and it's introduced me to a couple games I've loved playing over the holidays, but it's also great to see a return to your coverage of projects like this. Essentially I'm saying you don't miss. Happy new year to all

    I love Serina, but I got disappointed in the creator when Dylan wrote a post on Reddit saying how other seeded worlds are uncreative and are just recycling his idea, and that he is tired of seeing those "rip-offs" all the time. Quite a few people spoke up about him being toxic like this and their posts got flamed and deleted. It was a few months ago so maybe he changed... He should be complimented that people are inspired by his idea, not gatekeep an entire concept of worldbuilding :\
