‘Barren,’ a post-apocalyptic worldbuilding project by Keegan Francis, imagines an alternate history where civilization ended in nuclear conflict, and mutated animal life rapidly evolves to rule over the irradiated wastes left behind.
A retro-future that calls to mind the worldbuilding of the Fallout series, the project reveals a world where human survivors must contend with biological horrors created by their own folly. So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll travel across the wastes, creating a ‘survival guide’ of sorts to the creatures that roam this desolate world.
Now, let’s cross into an alternate timeline, and witness the broken world of Barren…

@FeedMeSalt Год назад

It would be MORE fitting because cats in the UK are the single most responsible invasive species responsible for the extinction of 98% of native life. The UK is ecologically dead, and outdoor cats are ILLIGAL and kill on sight because of this. Over a thousand species of birds and small mammals entirely gone from the country. Over a billion birds and another billion small mammals, "nobody has studied reptiles yet" are killed by cats in the US every single year. They also recently have exploded with STDs and a few sexually transmitted genetic illnesses like cancer. Yes, cancer spread through sex. Canada is facing similar problems near urban areas. Since domestic cats kill for fun far more then for food, and they don't only target rats and pests. Infact they prefer birds over any other prey. Anyway, a massive mutant domestic house cat eating everything and killing for fun fits perfectly. Because they already do.

Interesting concept, though wouldn’t it be more likely that these mutated animals would simply be referred to as their predecessors? For example, I think it would be far more likely that “bone-hens” would just be called “chickens” by the inhabitants of this alternate reality, considering that these are all recognized animals that would have mutated in such a short timeframe; within what could essentially be one person’s lifetime.

@friend_trilobot Год назад

That's a good point, but I think it happening quickly makes it more likely they'd change the name bc people would be aware of the "classic" chicken still to compare it to. When you introduce a new thing quickly, people will invent new terms to describe it and this is different than the slower version of language change which is usually sound changes or the gradual shifting of lexical meanings, e.t.c. In English people don't pronounce the k or gh in 'knight' bc of slow gradual changes in pronunciation, and they use it to mean a mounted warrior (or a special title bestowed by royalty that is descended from this mounted warrior tradition) when its literal meaning in pre-Germanic is something like "boy" or "servant." Of course the chicken of today is genetically and visually different than the ones in the past (if only size and breed) even when people use the exact same word, but I would argue this happens specifically bc the change is so gradual and hard to notice - sometimes language changes slowly even if everything's the same, and sometimes things change and the language doesn't. But that's over long periods of time. In contrast we began using the word "smart phone" almost right away after they were introduced. BUT on the other hand, many nowadays call it just a phone, except to distinguish it from other types of phones (which still exist). So it could be both or they'll use the old word. But i still think it happening fast makes it more likely they'd produce a new term, not less likely.

@fabriziobiancucci7702 Год назад

Probably because the post-apocalyptic people still remember the old world. Probably the names of the new animals was given in the first years after the nukes explodes, because survivors want distinguish them from the actual chickens or cows. And after generations the names remains

Whilst I do appreciate a post-apocalyptic reimagining of my country, I feel like I may have been spoilt by the many _many MANY_ speculative biology projects you've covered on this awesome channel. Barren feels a little generic, if I'm being brutally honest.

@nataliebell6760 Год назад

I think part of the problem is that the creators of Barren have gone for the standard apocalypse-induced desertification landscape, and it shows. The rot-and-decay aesthetic they've picked out for the animals doesn't do them any favours either, but they'd _feel_ less generic set against a lush landscape rich with autotrophic life. It wouldn't even need to be plants, really. You could have the landscape become dominated by exclusively radiotrophic fungi, and it'd feel less generic.

@KfrancisArt Год назад

I get that, was a great video but not fully accurate as barren is far less focused on just speculative biology And the landscape in parts will be far greener and less simple decay as I want barren to show life can go on I’d say the video is more Curious archives interpretation to an extent Appreciate the actual constructive criticism tho :)

@saturn_in_blue Год назад

It makes no sense they have radiation burns, etc. The background radiation level would be pretty low at this point. The animals would grow up healthy and normal looking, just with weird features and designs that came out of their mutations. This is one very unrealistic thing that annoys me both about fallout and other post apocalyptic worlds. After a few decades and especially centuries the post-apocalyptic world would be be lush and green, just very different in terms of types of life and with hidden dangers (like irradiated zones that could quickly kill a normal human but look almost the same as non-irradiated zones). Look at the area around Chernobyl.

Much time has passed, and the ancients were masters of genetic tech.

@SkyWKing Год назад

I dislike the stereotypical postapocalyptic wasteland filled with highly aggressive and active predators "because of mutation". The postapocalyptic biosphere will more resemble a tundra. Most animals will be herbivores grazing mosses and lichen, while predators tend to be small and nimble like cats and foxes. However, most carnivores will simply be scavengers instead, because the caloric expenditure for hunting is way too high in a nutrition-poor world. Majority of the animals will be burrowers and only go out to the radioactive atmosphere for getting food. The environment is simply too hostile for large caloric-intensive animals like cattle. Whatever "mutated" humans that are banished by the survivors will likely not attack humans at all, because being an intelligent species, they fully understand the danger of attacking humans with firearm. They will likely be cave-dwelling hunter-gatherers and develop some sort of unique artisanship that will produce them tradable goods to exchange medicine or food with humans.

@nataliebell6760 Год назад

I wouldn't be so sure. Chernobyl, which is the only example we have of a radioactive ecosystem, is quite lush and supports populations of deer, wolves, and bears. Nagasaki and Hiroshima, our primary examples of the effects of nuclear war, are still inhabited and by all accounts no worse off environmentally then any other city. Basically, apocalypse-induced desertification has no evidence for its existence.

Here's what I want: an open-world survival simulator reminiscent of Ark: Survival Evolved, but the storyline is that your characters have access to inter-universal technology and can travel to different worlds in different universes. Infinite possibilities. Each map/DLC is a world from a different speculative evolution project like this.

@thesharkormoriantm274 Год назад

Many worldbuilders make the mistake of filling an ecosystem with apex predators and very few prey animals. As well too much attention is put on the fauna in worldbuilding projects, ¿what flora has survived?. It would also be cool to dig into the culture of the people living there ¿what is their society like? ¿Has their language evolved? Interesting project overall.

Another flaw I have seen here is the assumption that scales provide better protection than feathers especially in the setting of a post apocalyptic Britain where it's cold. If feathers don't provide an evolutionary advantage terrestrial birds wouldn't have them.

The Zadgers might be based on the Honey Badgers from Wasteland 2 and 3, that have mutated into apex predators after the nuclear war.

@shogun2215 Год назад

Quite frankly the most unrealistic thing about this is that the UK continues to exist after the war. It would be more likely to splinter into its component factions; Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Cornwall and Greater England.

Man I love this video it just makes me want you to do the whole fallout series it covers most of the us and there are a lot of creatures in all nieches not just the super popular scary predator types I believe it does have a reasonable ecosystem even without all the human presence

@blueorange965 Год назад

You should cover Jay Eaton's Runaway to the Stars. It's sort of post apocalyptic, but humans are still surviving, just mostly not on Earth. It's really interesting and the Speculative Biology in it is really nicely done.

The thing about nature is it will eventually find an equilibrium to prosper given few centuries or a millennia. None of these post-apocalyptic stories venture much farther than the point of collapse to show the new balance of nature.

"[the Bonehens] have changed much from their tame predecessors" I can tell from that statement you've never raised chickens. I'd argue that because they have visible dorsal spikes you'd know where the danger is coming from, which would be easier to deal with than our current chickens.

What I find interesting is a map we see briefly, as it looks like there was a major tectonic shift. Norway has been wedged into Scotland, the Jutland peninsula has gone, and what I think is Greenland appears to have moved to just west of Ireland.

@porakiyadraekojin3390 Год назад

this was an awsome watch. pretty bone chilling with some of the man made experiments. I'm actually wondering how octopi and other cephelapods would have changed in this alternate timeline, especially since octopi can actively modify their own DNA (which is good for learning and survival, but makes passing new mutations down to offspring very difficult), and even more so because of how the babies look. I'd personally imagine that they'd become semi-amorphous monstrosities with the ability to rapidly transform their eight limbs as needs for a variety of tasks......and that their limbs can be torn off and become little monstrosities of their own, as each arm has a sort of pseudo-brain.
