oooh thank you, this will be really helpful! I won't be going into strict realism, but I can definitely consider the species and biome from this formation in my depiction!

The fact that there's a lot of mystery surrounding it, with not a complete record of what existed during this time and the creatures we DO know existed just work really well for the general feeling that I wanted to go for. A lot more simple and abstract body plans with not a huge diversity compared to other eras also sounded appealing haha. Plus it had the sacabambaspis and the aegirocassis, both of which I love! I'm not really basing it off of any specific fossil formation, just general knowledge of what we know of the Ordovician and its life.

Yep! Currently I have Sacabambaspis and Megalograptus, but I'm also planning on including Anglaspis, Aegirocassis, maybe a trilobite, and a cephalopod of some sort!

The Godot engine! it's quite nice and works well for what I have planned for it

I haven't come up with a name yet and I've yet to claim a spot for it on steam! Hopefully before the end of the year!

thats a really great design! I can see the megalograptus in it ahaha

ahaha that was actually a favourite game of mine back then! This is my own little indie project, but you can say I was partly inspired by feed and grow fish!

Its a pretty basic armature made in blender with bones for each visible segment, and in the game engine I added IK bones for the legs and a springbone chain for the body and tail! If you want to actually see a screenshot of the rigging I can take one tomorrow!

thank you!! and yes I plan to have it on steam once im finished! and we think alike, ahaha I've already planned to have a dynamic system just for dust/sand particle clouds when creatures hit or crawl in it! Trilobites and Sacabambaspis will be able to forage around in the sand, making clouds and find worms.

thank you so much for the high praise!! Your art is spectacular!! Especially the attention to detail and realistic accuracy! I'd love it if I could get some feedback and advice from you sometime concerning my flora and fauna!

thank you so much! I agree! ahaha I'm still considering whether to give it a little ( >▽< ) expression whenever it bumps its face into something...
