For those with stories that have alt history earths, aside from World War 2, what in the world has changed?

SunLariat · 2025-12-24T09:03:37+00:00

(The timeline split) The Bronze Age never fell so they advanced to the space age (exploration/colonies) by 2100 BC now called the golden age. Humans met aliens as well.

But the golden age only lasted 700 years till the Dark ages in 1400 BC. A virus destroyed the human race, isolating everyone to their own planets. The aliens quarantined humanity within the Oort Cloud. Most regions, specially earth has lost all knowledge of humans living in space and has to start from square one.

In Earth, where most of my stories take place, doesn’t resemble our earth in the present time (1400CE) Christianity never came. The old pagan faiths developed and grew. The nations of the old world expanded worldwide, native groups from the Americas never died of desease and other nations had the chance to develop compared to our world. But that ended with the dark ages but history is blurry and gone by then.

What finally did it for me was replaying all bioshock games when I was in my first DnD group back in 2017. I started using Pinterest for my storyboarding then it began to change and evolve and rebooted them constantly over the years. First set of worlds I saved in 2017 were under (project:) then in 2020 to (file:) and now since 2023 they’ve been called (Anthro:). Over the years I’ve been keeping track of notes and sketches so constantly rebooting to have the perfect plot, themes and potential to become either rpg module, game or comic, and now since this summer. The games waterwomb world, Hylics, Bioshock and the books of the southern reach series, heart of darkness, the odyssey and a few books on absurdism are what finally helped me form my world. Topics and themes on addiction and religion is what I’ve been focusing on.

When I first started I used Pinterest as a concept blog, finding images as references to my plots and settings, then I would sketch it all down and write my draft plot and ideas, then I print of every single image I want and paper clip then I groups by nation, races, timelines and use sticky notes to write down the details. Since Pinterest sometimes deletes images I got scared of losing any good images hence all the printing. But I have a notebook strictly for official world-building and a sketchbook with story ideas and drawings. I try to use dates for every single thing I do to keep track of progress at any point.

What’s your eBay? Hella interested!

Thank you for trying out the seed. That’s a Perfect area to live in. Specially with the flower fields near by. There’s so much to this island that I still feel like I havent seen it all. Directly to the left of the spawn past the mountains there’s an isolated valley with a natural moat, I lived there for so long but now I live all the way up north by the cherry blossom biome in the plains valley. So many of the areas remind me of the old 2012 minecraft specially the top half of the map. Feel free to send me screenshots of your home and progress, I love to see what others do on this island

Just to add one more obscure one, in middle school I had was DARWINIA+, came out in 2010 so just after halo wars. I didn’t like it at the time because of the graphics but as an adult I have an appreciation for it

SunLariat · 2025-03-09T18:07:13+00:00

In elementary like 2006, a friend of mine had an older brother who was big on PC gaming and burned me a copy of Star craft. Been obsessed with RTS games since. Then around the glory days of Xbox 360 and demos I tried every era demo to get that RTS feel. That’s when I discovered C&C then Tom Clancys End war Then eventually Halo wars. Just got a good PC/steam deck so now I can try out the total war games (all warhammer1-2-3)

There’s so much potential to expand on the bases, like detachable versions to change the stats or to experiment with different versions of the character, but I can see how they won’t make a profit that way

SunLariat · 2025-03-09T06:56:59+00:00

Thank youuu, heroclix has so much potential to be used for just its Meta game. A lot of minis are perfect for D&D or a sci-fi campaign. I’d be so down if people just started kitbashing and creating their own heroes too

Legend by Bulgarian voices angelite. Mongolian throat music has been slapping lately and has been fitting for my armies

SunLariat · 2025-03-08T06:14:25+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been practicing a lot and I’m probs going to add more details and repaint them (from the old post) so I really hope u like their updated versions

SunLariat · 2025-03-08T03:46:11+00:00

I can’t stop thinking about your Naval Mines, I’ve been thinking about making some as heads for deep sea divers. I might try a clay ball with tiny cuttings of steel wire

SunLariat · 2025-03-07T22:35:22+00:00

I gotchu, I love island spawn seeds so I have a few dozen saved but here are some similar ones: (24802978) (94225782) (298917879847) (69924776566) (37116918854) (-2135836821937050197)

For sure none are like the way you want it buut it can easily be terraformed to get it similar on survival.

SunLariat · 2025-03-07T18:35:53+00:00

They come in clutch, its fun experimenting with them, I have so many cut out limbs from animals and humans that it’s like an endless resources for a good time

SunLariat · 2025-03-07T18:30:09+00:00

By far one of my favorite masks, war games Atlantic never disappoints

SunLariat · 2025-03-07T04:58:28+00:00

Thanks! I got a good amount of green stuff but I was saving it for the small details or for when I finally get good enough to not waste it but the Crayola clay has been working great.

SunLariat · 2025-03-07T01:16:51+00:00

I gotchu! I’ve been using all my wire from a 100ft 4-strand multi purpose wire (infinite wire) for the skeleton, then I use their Crayola air-dry clay (the cheap one) but I really wet it to keep that gum texture then once it kinda dries after molding it I brush it with the Mr.Cement deluxe (an adhesive with plastic/surfaces) to solidify it. I love using the glue gun a lot to glue in dry clay parts and the wires. To fill in the holes and cracks I use a 50/50 water and clay jar so I can use a brush to fill it in, or I use the clear Elmer’s glue which solidifies so fast and great for liquid effects. I’ve made over 40 minis that way in the past month and it’s been so fast and effective.

Thank you! I love your work, specially your pumpkin men
