Game: LIFE The Evolution Of Life On Earth Series

[Halichoeres]

Thanks for the update! And I'm happy to wait for a project as ambitious as this. I actually didn't know pre-orders were still open; I'll try to boost it if I can!

[ceratopsian]

Yes, I would rather like a few token fish. Just a matter of deciding....  I wish I knew more about early fish!

[Halichoeres]

If I may suggest a sampling of fishes, starting with the ones closest to tetrapods:

Griphognathus, an early lungfish
Holopterygius, one of the most peculiar coelacanths--it looked a lot like an eel except for the lobe fins and incomplete vertebral centra!
Andreolepis, an early bony fish very close to the common ancestor of both lobe-fins and ray-fins
Brochoadmones, an early shark relative beset with spines and a deep body like that of a knifefish
Materpiscis, ptyctodont placoderm known from exquisite remains--including a mother giving birth, the earliest example of this in fishes as far as I'm aware.
Gemuendina, a rhenanid placoderm that was one of the earliest fishes to adopt the ray body shape, except studded with dermal bones
Sanchaspis, a very peculiar galeaspid (part of the gnathostome stem-group, but existing before the advent of jaws)
Parameteoraspis, one of the more impressive cephalaspidomorphs, with its broad winged head
Furcacauda, one of the better known thelodonts (the first fishes with teeth definitely homologous with ours, although they were in the skin instead of the mouth)
Astraspis, to represent the pteraspidomorphs, the earliest fish with bone
Promissum, the conodont that gave us the best idea what conodonts looked like--and a relative giant!

Thank you!  That is extremely helpful and much appreciated.  (And I definitely shouldn't pass up on the chance of a conodont!)  Now for a good browse.....

@Halichoeres @Faelrin @Crackington @ceratopsian @Flaffy  Thank you.

[Oammararak]

Clean up new master.

[Halichoeres]

Very exciting!

[Oammararak]

The game box file is on the way to the factory.

I would like to ask about the paper material for a board game.

Now I send Map to the factory now. They ask me about paper what I want. Gloss or Matt and coat with Gloss or Matt.

What do you want?

[indohyus]

Gloss, I'd say. Make it stand out.

[Oammararak]

@indohyus  Thank you. I will tell the factory in the morning.

[SBell]

Clean up new master.

I am very excited to start seeing the fish models!

[ceratopsian]

I topped up my Kickstarter order with a few fish.  I figured that if I didn't do it now, I might forget!  Thanks for the help, @Halichoeres.

I suppose I should now have a final consideration of Ichthyostega and relatives....

All of them? It's not like there's a lot of options for them!

[ceratopsian]

It's more a question that I've purchased a lot of items in total already!  They all have to find space. But I'll probably add them on. They aren't large.

Hello, I have the update today.

More master. Wait for making mold.
Master is transparent. The finished cast will be more contrast.

I'm on extreme energy mode now. More updates coming soon.

Very happy to help of course! I'm always willing to give fish a little boost.

That box looks great. Very professional.

I'll be happy to help with the rule book. Let me know what I can do

They look great. Don't know if I ever mentioned this but I love the box art. So nice.
