Ok, the game I made up was not a success... and to be honest I do understand why. Just too long, too drawn out and rather tedious.

A while ago (about... half a year ago...?) I started another project. I was basically designing evolutionary pathways from one common ancestor - the Acanthostega, an early four-legged, fish-like vertebrate. 360 million years ago it's thought that there were several species of tetrapod, and that any one of them may have been the ancestor of all terrestrial vertebrates alive today.

However, imagine that 360 mya, the universe split in to two parallel universes. In one of these universes, life evolved as we see it to have from the amphibians, to the synapsids and reptiles, to the dinosaurs, mammals, birds, and us... that's our universe. In the second universe, the fictional universe, a freak disaster wiped out all of the early tetrapods, except one small lonesome species, acanthostega.

In the fictional parallel universe, acanthostega is the only surviving candidate for vertebrate terrestrialisation. Thus the evolutionary paths of its descendants may be unlike any of the animals we are familiar with - past or present - or there might arise some striking similarities.

I make sure that they all have a location on the world map, for predatorprey interaction. I'm using some estimations of what the maps may have looked like a long time ago. I chose acanthostega frankly because it had the most complete skeleton I could find.

I will soon be uploading some pictures, I won't post every single species because there are too many. So far working on: 359.2 million years ago.
