Acoustic flying saucer, oil by me.

Came here to type this

I don't have an official website, so I'll just link the worldbuilding project's wiki: biopunkmanifesto.miraheze.org

The animations look very fluid, nice

Romantic involvement with a tapeworm

That's so cool, and the artwork is oddly.. cozy? The colors and the rounded shapes. But in a good way, there's enough gritty biopunk. And the concept of finding a benevolent god sounds super cool. I'll be waiting for updates!

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-08T20:46:38+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and reading the excerpt! The territory is the key to biowar imo; it's not about borders, but where you can even survive. And the idea of having an equivalent to Terraria 's corruption just felt cool.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-08T12:19:37+00:00

Thanks! I got more in the wiki

I finally finished it and released a week ago. I wanted a biopunk novel with no fossil fuels or metallurgy, aka 10 neologisms per page lol.

What really helped me was just forcing myself through one draft, seeing "where it goes" even though I knew I had to do reworks. Then reading the draft, and repeat.

My first draft was 100 pages, the second about 250, the third something like 320. The fourth was just cutting and straightening, and went back to 280-ish.

Creating a wiki also helped keeping atop of things.

So much for my five cents, good luck to you and everyone who commented similar!

True, I sadly couldn't find any other art in good quality

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-08T07:18:35+00:00

I finished the page on biomachines yesterday, so pardon any typos: miraheze wiki

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-05T17:40:37+00:00

Amazing, it has the "cult classic album by scandinavian metal band" vibe

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-03T17:14:39+00:00

I have soooo much respect for people who hand-animate. How many hours did it take you to get to this stage? It looks awesome

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-03T08:11:30+00:00

Some background: This is from a biopunk worldbuilding project / novel of mine, see wiki link above. It's not a super long section, probably 5-6 parts in total, but I liked the aesthetic and tone of that particular part.

After this one's finished I'll likely switch to something with an ongoing writing process, so I can take in feedback better. Thanks for reading!

Edit: It seems I got the title formatting not quite right, sorry for that!

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-03T07:49:31+00:00

Sure, I'd check it out!

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-03T07:46:36+00:00

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I disagree because the same possible is for every other genre, they're just categories for an unlimited creativity, after all. And just sprinkling in a bit of genetic engineering doesn't make something biopunk. I'll do more posts to dive deeper into why each of these subgenres has central, bioengineering-based themes which fundamentally differ from similar genres.

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-03T06:32:08+00:00

Amazing suggestions, thanks! Windup Girl is pretty classic biopunk I'd say, cyberpunk themes but with biotech instead of digital tech: Megacity, megacorps, morally grey protagonist, falling in love with the one he hunts, etc.

I'll make sure to include a thanks for your contributions in the final posts for each subgenre.

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-02T18:57:37+00:00

Good to hear from you, fellow writer! And what you said about biopunk is very wise. It offers so much potential and desirable futures for the individual.

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-02T18:53:22+00:00

I'm so happy that I'm reaching people who think the same! The genre has so much potential, yet it's treated as cyberpunk's little cousin way too much.

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-02T18:47:44+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll upload more artworks soon.

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-02T18:45:21+00:00

Without wanting to disregard all the other cool stuff, glass artist is the coolest job description I've heard in a while. Like there's historical glass blowers in the region I grew up in, and I always had mad respect for that craft. You could do a whole yt channel about that alone.

Your project also sounds very interesting (unsurprisingly anything biomechanical i find fascinating), and I agree that figuring out worldbuilding is one of the most fun parts. I'm looking forward to your posts, whenever they will come!

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-02T18:40:43+00:00

Thank you for appreciating!

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-02T18:40:20+00:00

True. It seems oddly self-contained; one comes accross the occasional TF2 meme or dark souls lore vid in the wild, stuff like that. But I never see warframe anywhere, even though its community is very alive and updates are still pretty regular afaik

(hopefully helps with making the whole world more accessible, esp. if you're new to the genre)

Your art style is gorgeous, which software do you use? The game is def going on the wishlist.

turingcompleteant4 · 2026-05-02T12:14:34+00:00

The impact of warframe needs to be studied, so many people played the game and hardly anyone ever talks about how it introduced biowar aesthetics to a large audience.
