Real. Big. Stories. 75-70 million years in the making.

Poster for my upcoming up-to-date webcomic remake of “Dinosaur Planet” which will use the 20 years’ worth of paleontological knowledge that has passed ever since the old Discovery Channel show first aired in December 2003. Having watched the show a long, long time ago, I personally believe that with its unique approaches to the dinosaur-documentary genre, such as having character-based storytelling and showcasing creatures from different geographic areas, Dinosaur Planet is worthy enough to have a remake like this for the occasion of its 20th anniversary.

Planets and plants are weird

Context one, two and three (the comments here heavily influenced this)

"It caught on fire again!"

Exclaimed Everie for the third time in as many months. His colleagues - Henrietta and Gieverne - are pondering their own problems. The three scientists (plus five currently normal Human not-mutated interns) were busy being frustrated with the dinosaur planet they named Ramforinkus.

Large swathes of the planet seem to just... catch on fire randomly, probably due to the high oxygen concentration. What's weird is that even though the atmosphere is mostly homogeneous the fires don't spread more than about 7-9 kilometers at a time, and only burn the top layer of vegetation. The ferns are quite fire retardant, and the lower levels of the insanely deep forests and jungles are rich in carbon dioxide.

It appears the plant-life maintains some sort of semi-gaseous moisture layer that traps the CO2 below, but releases it once they detect their upper leaves are burning, quenching the flames. The burnt leaves fall down and create a kind of natural fertilizer.

In a similar manner, the algae layer covering every body of water we could discern also regularly catches on fire. This, however, burns up almost the entire area, which can be from a few thousands to several hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, creating a very awful sludge layer that slowly sinks and poisons the water. Well, it would be poisonous if this planet had any kind of fish or other fauna. As it stands, it just becomes a very healthy source of food for the algae spores.

Due to this volatile nature, the local atmospheric composition shifts quite wildly in short bursts, rendering it impossible for any unshielded creature we were planning to introduce to survive. Even if we made it fire resistant (which we did after quite a few trials) we have so far been unable to make one that can breathe air that has almost no CO2 and high O2, to almost the inverse.

Even by Human standards, we have to admit that this is, in fact, a Deathworld.

In the upper layers that is.

It took Gieverne almost a month to get approval to transfer the station here plus a nightmarish effort to actually tow it through hyperspace. We are not giving up that easily.

The lower layers, especially down by the root systems, are actually quite stable. And the soil is incredibly rich. Okay, the air down there is almost entirely unbreathable for any known species within the Galaxy, save for some extremophile bacteria, but it is a stable impossibility, and we can work with that.

If we can't have flying dinosaurs here, then we'll make burrowing ones! Henrietta finished a mug of extra strong cup of cocoa and muttered ominously, to the dismay of her intern:

"Mark my words, Ramforinkus. You will either sustain dinosaurs I make for you, or I'll remake you into a world where the ones I grew up with in picture books can live on."

VGHF Fundraiser Day 5: Live from E3 2000!

OH BOY. Today for our annual fundraiser, we're sharing 2½ HOURS of footage from E3 2000!

These videos come to us from Mark Flitman, a video game producer who, at the time, was working for a small company called NuFX. Mark and his colleagues filmed just about everything on display at E3. This footage includes a look at Nintendo’s booth (featuring Banjo-Tooie and the never-released Dinosaur Planet for Nintendo 64) and the famous first trailer for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

I haven't combed through every second of this footage, but I guarantee there's some cool stuff in here we've barely seen before. Please share highlights you find!

(They filmed Kentia Hall, which is the weird side section of E3 where the booths were cheaper and the exhibitors could be kinda sketchy! Nobody films Kentia Hall!)

We're only able to preserve videos like these with your support! Our team flew out to Mark Flitman's house to digitize these and other videos, and it's not cheap! If you enjoy this video, please consider donating to our winter pledge drive! We're raising money to keep things running for another year, and we need your support to preserve more finds like this!

Krystal’s original Dinosaur Planet design is just SO much better than her final Star Fox Adventures redesign, like what the fuck happened here

#star fox #furry #dinosaur planet #sorry for having furry opinions

[toreodere]

Was looking through some of my older art cus a friend of mine sent me an archive of stuff they have saved.

Found this drawing of Krystal I did back when the Dinosaur Planet roms first got leaked that I still think looks okay enough to post, hope yall like it!

#krystal #dinosaur planet #will probably repost some older artworks here at some point #i've got a huge backlog of stuff

Cover for the first episode of my webcomic series “Dinosaur Planet Remade” which focuses on a lone female velociraptor’s quest to start a new family of her own after she had lost her previous mate and chicks to a rival male.

Someone has to clean up our messes...

George Rhoedigher and his team had the most unenviable of jobs - investigating, reporting, and cleaning up (in legalese) any "oopsies" Humanity "accidented". Barely over a year among the star civilizations and our rap sheet is longer than some million year old empires. Good job us.

This latest incident he's been dispatched to is the biggest yet - a whole planet-wide fire. In a sense, also the simplest and most straightforward - three dinosaur lunes shot lasers at an oxygen overabundant planet and then logic caught up.

The problem George has with any of these is that he has to try to make it less damning in the eyes of the Coalition. If he and fellow investigator-lawyers just reported the facts as is, Humans doing science outside Sol would be banned in a heartbeat, which the Government is very insistent we retain the ability to do, without utilizing our superior fleets. We'd rather avoid outright becoming the "Bad Guys" if we can, "Crazy Deathworlders" is enough.

Anyway, planet Ramforinkus was pure ash on the surface and what's left of the atmosphere was toxic as hell. Supposedly there's still plenty of bio activity below ground, so it should recover in some form or fashion over time, but still, the before and after images are grim - lush, clear green and blue, now hazy gray and brown.

The statements from the three scientists in charge aren't helpful either:

Everie Jackobson: "I was working on reversing the evolutionary tree of these peacocks, I'm pretty sure they'll become pterodactyls if I push them the right way! Hmm? So what if it caught fire again, it does that all the time. [George points him to the view port] Oh, that's a bit more than normal. Anyway... [George leaves after a minute of Everie rambling to himself]"

Henrietta Fink: "There comes a time when life must adapt to its surroundings. But this damned planet kept changing its environment all the time, none of my babies could survive the swift changes in air composition! I asked Gieverne to help me figure out a way to stabilize the planet."

Gieverne Drostierne: "At first I misted an area with a mutating chemical compound to get the plants to produce less Oxygen, but the change didn't last more than a generation, so I did the next best thing: injected a genetic catalyst into a swarm of flying ants we keep around and let loose several colonies around the planet.

For whatever reason, the ants instead mutated [George visibly shudders hearing about mutant ants again] and started replacing the flora of the planet. Look, I even got a few queens before torching the planet and seeding it with the original flora. The ants turned green and have little leaves just behind their wings and can theoretically survive perpetually anywhere with a bit of air! Look at those leaves flap, ain't they cute?"

...

George sighs. Getting the truth is always pretty easy from these science folk, but it's always something blatantly stupid like that. He's gonna have to do some serious mental gymnastics to make this incident not be another clear-cut example of "Irrefutable Proof Humans Are Not Allowed To Do Science Anywhere!"

Hmm... In cases like these the best way around fines and sanctions is to provide results that arise from these "accidents". What researches take via creating the most catastrophic disasters, they give back through thorough data recording and analysis for practical applications.

Here's hoping there's enough Aliens who are as big fans of dinosaurs as many Humans are.
