The Extraordinary Life of a Terraformed World

Thank you so much for making such a fantastic video featuring our book! Altamira is an incredibly rich and diverse biosphere, it's been super fun to open it up to so many fantastic artists! I hope everyone here will enjoy REFUGIUM in its final form!

I’m so excited you covered Altamira!! I’m an artist that gets to take part in this awesome project, I can’t wait for everyone to check this out!! This is the BIGGEST spec evo collab ever

It was a joy contributing art to this project! Awesome to see an entire video dedicated to it!!

ELEFANTITO LITERALLY MEAN LITTLE ELEPHANT, THIS IS SO CUTE

I like how the whole "Terraforming an alien planet to make it more suitable for human life" thing is basically one giant metaphor for real-world habitat destruction. Granted, in this case, they're technically just replacing an alien ecosystem with a more Earth-like ecosystem; nevertheless, the parallels are still very much there. There's even the Kicking Wolverton, which was arguably spread to Altamira by accident. If it was accidental, then they'd be a parallel to many invasive species of real-world barnacles, which were inadvertently spread to inland regions when they clung to the bottoms of ships.

Can't wait to visit there! Pack your bags everyone, tickets are on me!

I love the cameos from other spec evolution artists in this project!

I love how so many spec bio creators like Koseman and Ries got together for this, filling in not just the artwork, but the biological info too. What a team!

This looks so cool! The blend of terraformed and not terraformed is always an interesting take! Stuff like this brings me back to the good old days, reading Heavy Metal and finding articles in the 'Galactic Geographic' docu-fiction by Karl Kofoed. The art and the way it was written like a scientific paper was such a joy!

Heck yeah, more spec evo content

Fuck! And I just beat my addiction to supporting amazing spec evo projects! Damn you CA! Damn you!

*finally*, something to do that isn't scrolling

Yes

I'm so in love with Pinwheels!!!! Absolutely the best insect-parallel i've seen in spec evo works!

Ah yes, canon of my Stellaris playtroughs.
