Hello! Its been a while since ive been wanting to revamp certain concepts in verdimar. Heres a list of things that I may change or remove:
Fusions - At first I thought itd be a great, alien thing to have, a culture that studies the loss of a single self that becomes a multiple self. Fusions are also a really cool thing, inspired by dragon ball and steven universe. However going deeper into that i felt like it would open too many plot holes and a lot of what ifs. So its no longer a specific endgoal for scholars. Magica - In the original concept, magic is some alien goop that changes itself according to a living being's thoughts and needs. Magica can also change the living being when inside it, speeding up evolution in an individual scale kinda. Magica pools are lethal as itll be too much for a single body to take, and in the deepth of magica lakes theres amalgmates of unfortunate beings. I still like the concept however Ill probs change the name to something else! Humans/caiporas - I very much like the concept of humans becoming one with an alien world after a kinda failed colonisation attempt. Though very honestly i dont feel so invested in this concept anymore and i feel more prone to changing it to native sentient species instead. Ive been suggested that those two concepts can coexist and that is true. Though Im not so sure about it. Maybe id change caiporas too. Theres also that, humans becoming caiporas implies a long time passed, thousands of years. Humans coming in contact with verdimar again means theyd be thousands of years in the future. When humans left to verdimar, it was early space travel age (it being early in that age also explains how come they simply got lost). Its a big timescale to think about :p Magica schools - since magic itself would be changing, the schools would also be changing to fit it. Maybe the way to classify creatures too. I also sometimes think of making this tabletop friendly. While status and the such arent something on my mind currently, I imagine roleplaying may be somewhat easy to come up with as theres the world's history with main events and happenings. I mean, you can pick an age to put your characters in. They can be humans on an alien world, Human-caipora rebels, Caiporas on their native world. Caiporas meeting humans again in their future? Now to think about it, caiporas being modded humans opens a lot of possibilities. Maybe i should just revamp them instead of scrapping them indeed. Going through my notes here, theres a lot of things that I look and think "this doesnt make sense" / "this doesnt add up". Sitting to rewrite everything, when its been a wip already since... ever, its something im not sure I can do as of now. But I may be revamping a page or another now and then. This is something ill be able to do more often once I get enough patreon support! So if you like this world and wanna see it finished, please consider sending $2 my way, which will mean a lot to me - knowing other people also want to see this world finished inspires me to work on it! 💙

Hello! Through the last years ive had a lot of things happening and this made me not update or even touch verdimar stuff for a long time. I think I may finally have some sort of time availability now, so i might slowly revamp some things. I have been starting with smoks, since theyre kinda one of my most beloved verdimar residents haha. Im making their info more readable, polished and also MYO friendly. Ive been doing this through google docs. Its not ready yet... but heres a peak: Ive also retouched some bits of verdimar alien reproduction system, though this is all surface level now and mostly relating to smoks since I want them to be breedable. I think itd be cool if MYO slots were got that way.
Ive also noticed that I never really polished the info about smoks on their page profile here. Its been a wip for years! I mean, it will keep being a WIP, but imma go there right now and make it a somewhat decent WIP so people can at least understand what a smok is from that page. Other ideas that cross my mind is changing the humanoid species in verdimar, and definitely scrapping anything regarding fusions. I think I dont vibe with the humans adapting to verdimar story so much anymore, but at the same time I do like the concept... oh well. Guess Ill figure something out with time. Oh well. Time to go update a page. And maybe some fonts too, this gray is a way too light. Hello! The site will be undergoing a structural replacement. While this replacement is going on, some pages might be missing, incomplete (though some were never complete...) or in the wrong section. Some pages will have duplicates, those might be present in the ♦ tab, used to keep old pages as reference for the new, recreated page. This is a sketch of what I indend to do: GUIDELINES Have a GUIDELINES tab, that includes GENERAL GUIDELINES and RULES. GENERAL GUIDELINES are for general rules of coat, colour and structure by species type. i.e if something is truth for all verdimar eyeless species, it will be present there rather than in the species profile, so the information will not be repetitive. RULES have general rules of usage, commerce and creation, such as terms of use for CLOSED, OPEN and RESTRICTED verdimar species; terms of use for MY ARTWORK in verdimar species. INHABITANTS I want to update this section for a while already, so it will be less crowded and with easier info access. I might rename this section to BIOLOGY. ♦ There will be icons to navigate in the species menu rather than relying on the drop-down menu. ♦ At the beginning of each species profile, there will be a few informational icons to define its type. Those will link to the GENERAL GUIDELINES and often are for artistic creation purpouse. MAGICA Will also use of icons to make navigation easy. There will be three pages: WHAT IS MAGICA - info on what magica is in a general aspect, with history on how magica was tamed SCHOOLS OF MAGICA - page with general info on each school, their story, purpouse, characteristics, objectives and scholars. TAMING & LEARNING - page with general info on what it takes to be a scholar, including rules, mutations, risks and artistic guidelines. SITE MAP
A site map with icons might be made since many things will be accessible via navegating through 3+ pages. This might only be done after the basic structure of most pages are complete or almost complete. On other news, faded blue is now in verdimar's natural colour palette, and might be present in tide puppies and sadomas. A more explained version of verdimar's palettes will be present on GENERAL GUIDELINES > COLOURS. |
