Just letting the other guy struggling to read this, Good Luck cause I gave up.

Do living concepts count?

Does Chirr count?

>>8935778
Some of her forms are definitely xeno territory. I think an embodiment of a concept qualifies as xeno if it's nonhuman enough in body/behavior.

>>8935778
I mean there is a theory that the entrapper of the two is an alien avian and the MC is basically made in his kind's image... honestly the game is so much it's own thing it defies genres, even as a VN.

>>8935873
I'm assuming this is Stellaris.

Minor note; I love the concept of adorable, colorful, squeaky little fairy buggo friends...but when you turn on the universal translator, they're the most obnoxious, racist, lecherous, cantankerous, vitriolic little assholes in the galaxy.

>>8935778
I like the idea of a macroorganism (think the forest in Oregon, USA that's been around some 60-odd thousand years) that manifests an avatar or proxy to interact with squishier, fleeting lifeforms.

So, y'know, Spriggan waifu, though that could also be flexible depending on how they choose to appear.

>>8935759
Disregarding the conversation linked to focus on the pic; I wish I was better at digital art, because I could actually see this being a fun alien waifu or husband to play around with.

>>8936133
Speaking of Stellaris, latest DLC added a hive-mind origin that's basically a sentient ecosystem, also adds a civic where it has relatable avatars for interacting with other empires, might be up your alley.

>>8935756
It's impressive, but what's it meant to be in aid of? The message doesn't quite cross the culture barrier.

Thoughts on Exor Cha?

>>8935744 (OP)
Hey I'm trying to find a story that was posted on here a while ago.

It was a interspecies story that took place on a medieval world. The main guy had a message from a king for a different race that lived in a large forest and I believe it was an insect girl he first met. It was on Ao3 and linked here. Can't remember the title but I can remember a few of thenbits of the begining

>>8938189
I like 'em
>>8938213
but this just looks like a rat girl and not alien at all

>>8938185
Funny enough the story I’m writing is basically the role reverse of this, a galactic empire vs. a stagnant and circularly self-destructive humanity that should’ve been on or near the same level as them.
Although “vs.” is generous. It was a curbstomp event.

>posting anything mammalian in this thread is like playing russian roulette
that's unfortunate, i've been spitballing some simple space goat designs and i thought of posting them here when done. you tell me, this a hanging offence?

>>8938224
Can't remember the title either, I definitely read it though. The truth is out there...

>>8938213
Umm exors don't have eyes.
>>8938225
If you haven't played AF yet I highly recommend it.

>>8938255
>>8938235
Didn't see this, thanks

>>8938224
The Mark of Shame.

>>8937725
I'm still holding out hope that the Larian space game that is supposedly in development has tall sexy lizard ayylium ladies in it. I'll forgive them for all the gay and stupid shit in BG3 if one of the companions you can go on sci-fi adventures with is an alien lizard princess or something.

Any /xeno/ movie recommendations?

>>8938329
Battle for Terra. It's a fucking ugly looking animated movie from 2007, but it has a really interesting premise in my opinion. It's actually somewhat similar to Avatar, with a desperate Humanity invading a primitive alien world because Earth is fucked.

>>8938242
Not my space goat.

>>8938329
battle: los angeles was a fairly recent alien invasion movie that was pretty underrated and had some cool looking alien designs I M O

>>8938408
I never see anyone talking about this movie.

>>8938008
hey man post what you want I'm just saying 1:1 anthro crocodile is kind of a boring design in an alien thread

>>8938416
it flew under everyone's radar when it released though i saw it when i first started getting into xeno-related stuff so it holds a special place in my heart. it might be better as a standalone film since a sequel possibly would have expanded on the aliens and ruined their mystique

>>8938430
Here's not boring one.

>>8938430
1:1 crocodile is absolutey untrue

Hey, what's going on in this threa--okay, this shit again.
Bye.

>>8938323
Modern companies don't back down from that stuff man, they make it the entirety of the product. Dunno when in the last ten years you were given reason to think otherwise.
>>8938351
It's certainly much more aware of the stakes. Humanity's plight is moved front and center and framed much more sympathetically. The villainy is driven by desperation and zealotry born from their situation then some childish misanthropic condemnation of humanity/advanced cultures. And it does still while keeping the aliens as the sympathetic focus, because they don't deserve to be invaded and other things I won't spoil.

>>8938441
What's the problem?

>>8938434
wow hyperbole

Sluggish thread for the alienhumpers this round

>>8939542
It happens.

>>8939542
They're having arguments elsewhere now, I suppose.

>>8939542
>>8939562
I can try to start an argument if you like. Unfortunately I don't have smut saved to post alongside it, so I'll avoid it as I usually do.

>>8939572
I've told you once.

Would the Shek be considered xeno even though they are technically genetically modified humans?

>>8940310
Technically all beings on Keshiworld are aliens because it doesn't take place on earth, right?

>>8940311
>Kenshi takes place on an unnamed tidally locked moon, with a history spanning several thousand years. Much of it is shrouded in mystery, with legends, lies, and myths mixed in with the historical records

How do you guys feel about humans being able to breed with xenos?

>>8940310
Ackshually Shek are geneticslly modified humans, the second empire skeletons created them as the Enforcers.

>>8940362
I mean xenomorphs are a big here, but jokes aside I think most are fans of it and you can get away with it by saying weird alien biology or scifi tech hand waving

>>8940312
>tidally locked
how does everyone not burn to a crisp?
>>8940362
I think it's hot, and more john humans need to be in a state of filling their ayy wives with baby batter

With the way Sangheili family structures work, how is there not tons of inbreeding?

>>8940495
sun lasers are in fact a danger in some areas of the map

>>8940495
It's a tidally locked *moon* same as our moon. It isn't tidally locked with the sun, just the planet it's orbting.

>>8940581
it does have a day and night cycle

>>8940497
isn't there a day/night cycle despite it being tidally locked as well? how does that work? is it a series of daily lunar eclipses from the planet the moon is orbiting?

moons being tidally locked is less of an issues than a tidally locked planet though depending on the size of the planet may cause some issues

>>8940589
That's what I said.

space hard but i get it now
my future space wife is laughing at me :(

Messing around in Stellaris makes me kinda wish that there was more stuff out there involving xenos of lower tech level then average that's still above spear-chucker, which seems to be the standard in most fiction when they're not a spacefaring civ. Also made me wish you could do more with them in the games but I digress.
Tried to think of example of what I want and the closest I could get is an aging RTS called Grey Goo, where the aliens have a very industrial look to more or less our current tech level while humanity has the sleek futuristic architecture and floating drones.

>>8941250
Fucking Sleg looking bugger.

>>8941250
>more stuff out there involving xenos of lower tech level then average
I'm sure there's plenty. On the other hand, the stone age lasted like 3 million years.

>>8941250
Sorta related, one thing I liked about Turtledove's World War is while the aliens do have advanced tech they don't for story reasons have the logistics to maintain or fuel it, so they're stuck reverse engineering the WW2 shit to be competitive.

Can't post anything that resembles an anthro here according to jannies, but an argonian getting dicked in the elder scrolls thread is fine apparently

>>8941341
Argonians are on topic to Elder Scrolls, no?

>>8941250
well, canonically, brutes in halo were at I believe the atomic age before they nuked themselves back into the stone age, and then the covenant uplifted them. I think the elites were either in the bronze age or iron age before they too were uplifted

>>8940496
How do they work?

Still making shitty edits for writing inspiration.

>>8941615
What's the original?

>>8941631
A few things

>>8941634
I'm trying to make sure I'm writing more than I'm spending time on these, but it's kind of fun to make these edits.

Is terarurge worth playing?
I know the game is abandoned, i just want to know

>>8941612
If I recall correctly, sword masters or whatever they're called, the equivalent of knights, get their pick of the women for breeding. However, the children are raised communally within the clan, and don't explicitly know who their father is, I think to prevent blood feuds. I think that's the gist of it, I could be misremembering and accidentally mixing it up with another sci-fi species though.

>>8941615
>>8941643
cringe kino

>>8941713
It's free and what's there is short enough that you could probably complete it in under an hour so there's really not any reason not to. I had fun wandering around the limited area imagining what a full game could've been.
If you've ever played Mata Nui The Online Game then Teraurge should feel oddly familiar.

>>8923245
Here's more of her. Made a lot of corrections to the old ones (not used to drawing bare tits :\) and finished two more.

>>8941823

>>8941954
No problem. Keep up the good shit, I love that water-suit pic, too. It's creative as it is skillful. I hope you have a good one, it's time for me to crash for the night.

>>8941386
Brutes actually nuked themselves twice iirc.
If it weren't for forerunner gene engineering they probably would've gone extinct

>>8941713
I'm still holding out hope, godamnit
It's still real to me

>>8941713
There's still a bunch of stuff to do in it, worth two or three playthroughs.
I hold out hope at least someone will be inspired to make their own fully realized equivalent.

>>8941638
>Imperial Marines
Kinda cool concept, though I personally thought of the Scout Troopers as Imperial Marines. It makes sense to me, trading armor for mobility, and getting better gear.

>>8942538
it's not star wars it's the artist's own universe

>>8941732
they should introduce human men into the keeps.

I've been enjoying Abiotic Factor to an unhealthy degree. What I expected was your typical survival crafting slop only to get bushwhacked by unsuspecting medley of kino.

>>8942671
This is Doctor Derek Manse, Research director at Cascade. A member of the janitorial staff was caught deleting sensitive information on our local network. Our first guess was, of course, sabotage, but we have no records from accounting of this man ever recieving a paycheck. Indeed, the very concept of payment seems to confuse him during interrogation. Even more peculiar, he refuses to, or can't, eat any food offered to him... Except for chicken nuggets and Hot Pockets. I'm sure the idea of free staff is tantalizing to GATE, but until we know more about this "Janitor," I have no choice but to recommend IS containment.

>>8942687
This shit right here is why it took TWO emails for GATE to agree to let the Order blow up the facility and let the gatekeepers go crazy with power leading to what went down.
Also don't forget to take the Hyperdense Memory doodad down to the flooded area of the dam to get the Kylie trinket. She makes a better shield generator and you can still put her in the robot in the botanical gardens.

I'm so weary of Silly in my games I've been avoiding it. Adding those gameplay elements instead of doing a straight FPS didn't help.
But people keep raving about it so I might crack one day.

>>8942721
I wasn't really sure about it either but once I played it felt like a real callback to actual good games back then. So many unexpected themes thrown together creating absolute unfetted kino. It's like a cracked out Half Life meets Timesplitters, SCP and Project Zomboid. I wont spoil what you see in the game if you ever play but pitchforks and torches are really dangerous even with a gun.

Don't show Trainwiz

The water caste will never recover their spines after meeting humanity.

>>8940362
>How do you guys feel about humans being able to breed with xenos?
Hard science fiction route preferred. (Because extreme realism is a daydream cope for knowing we'll all die of old age before we meet actual aliens)

Unfortunately, actual reproduction that produces new quasi-species hybrid children would have to involve genetic engineering of a technical level beyond what could be imagined or measured accurately right now.

Best we could do RIGHT NOW, is: It won't produce any sort of mystery-meat halfways human, halfways alien "blended features" product of a new species unto itself... It would probably just be a "normal" child of whichever of the species involved produces the children, as a sort of clone of the mother with some distinguishing existent trait that gets modified to match the father's trait, even if that trait is atypical or synthetic for the mother's species.
Example: If the alien mother species has only short hair that goes through cycles of baldness and regrowth, the "hybrid child" could be genetically modified to: A. not go bald (unless the human father is. lol.) B. have the body hold onto the hair follicles longer or permanently C. make the hair follicles never stop producing the hair D. change the hair pigmentation to match the human father E. change the intensity of pigmentation to match the father's skin value... etc etc.

tl;dr
If the aliens' species has 10 limbs, it's probably not realistic to totally reinvent the body plan from a genetic level to be closer to human... But giving the child a human hair pigmentation when the only hair color the alien species normally has is silver, could be possible.

They're ruining my flavor of the month zombie crafting survival slop to appease console retards REEEEEEEEEEE FUCK DEVS THEY MADE IT BAD REEEEEEE

Hello all, AurumVerd here. I am happy to say that the rough draft of the sequel to Surrender, Surrender, my first work, is finally done! Though there is a long way to go before I begin uploading, as I still need to do some revision, lots of proofreading and would definitely like to get some art made for the story (as well as for the first one), I am glad to say it's done (in its rawest form)! Needless to say, this took a lot longer than the first one, partially due to the increased story length, but also due to it going though more revisions in the planning stage. I always had the main idea in mind, but the details took a while to work out. Still, I hope to get it uploaded as soon as possible. Thanks anons.

What's a good way of adding breasts/nipples, or other efficient means of milk production to a species? I know the platypus can secret milk through its skin, and that some bird habe a crop organ they can produce milk from.

>>8946551
Forgot to mention, I want them to be different than what mammals have.

>>8946551
>>8946553
First, let's think about how they would treat their young. For example, if the ayy mom carries her litter like a possum, then maybe she has teats along her back? Maybe an ayy mom lays eggs, but breastfeeds before their little demons gron in their teeth? Maybe she's like a bird, and pukes out milk?
Think about the life cycle. How many kids? One or two at a time, like us? A litter like a dog? A fuckton like a spider? Consider the titty logistics.

>>8946685
>Consider the titty logistics

>>8946685
I've been thinking about something like this with Enid's species. Since I've drawn her with breasts and nipples in the past, I had the idea of invoking some amphibian weirdness. Females lay eggs in mud that develop into tadpole-like larva. As they go through their metamorphosis to the biped stage, the mother begins to develop breasts to supplement the developing young. When they are big enough to handle hard food, the mother's body transitions back to its breastless state.

>>8946765
something like this seems like the most elegant solution, evolution kinda already figured out the best way to produce & deliver milk

>>8946685
I only date xeno women with huge bimbo tits.
The worst thing she could possibly do is give birth like a Surinam Toad, and even that is manageable. I guess I can put on my armor and help dig our mutual children out of her skin, but she better still let me play her jugs.

Used to have issues with both, but the planet cracking levels of low standards for scifi nowadays made me find appreciation for their quality and intelligence. Pic related.
Don't diss what you have, lest you lose it and find yourself stuck with things you can't imagine being worse. Potentially and terrifyingly, pic related.

>>8948505
>scifi nowadays
There isnt a lot of scifi shit released nowadays is there?

I had finally finished reading Autumn War: Volume One. Overall, it was a decent read. The drawbacks are the whiplashes between separate stories & the entirety of Group B (marines/jade). The only good parts with Group B were the fights against the Bugs.

Outside of that, I have several minor gripes but the largest one would be the constant buffet that Group A seem to have. I wish that Group B's parts would have been replaced by flashbacks of Xipa's flock. Or at the very least, Vos or perhaps even Jaeger & his group since they were at least referenced.

I'm looking forward to Volume 2. Though, I'm probably going to skim Group B's side this time around.

Bruh do not get me going, I can and have written up essays bitching about the utter and embarrassing state of science fiction. It's not even that unique, it's all the usual suspects mutating it into the same old muh identity masturbation with the Burger King club sidekicks and the strawman villains and not allowing anything else to exist. It's the sheer scale of the devastation at play here, just how far standards have fallen and how obliterated the sales and fanbases are for scifi stuff new and old.
The fact that Star War and Star Trek, two very different franchises with very different tone, intent, influences, aesthetics, and audiences, are so undermined by the homogenous and interchangable "people" running things that I could post screenshots of both of them mixed together and you'd have no idea they were from different franchise or know which belongs to which without lightsaber or enterprise in frame. That's the level of shit we're dealing with... at it's highest level. Take that, strip out the franchise appeal built over decades by their betters, downgrade writing ability to about fifth grade if not less, and you've got print fiction scifi. "Enjoy".
Oh and before any bluehairs start copypasting their utterly predicable and homogenous insults at me, Xenogenesis/Lilith's Brood. Nig woman writer writing about nig woman MC with identity as a core theme, and it's hard scifi written competently with genuinely alien aliens who literally cannot think and process things like humans do and at times feels like Cronenberg co-wrote it. It's not burger king club can't do scifi, it's YOU LOT can't do ANYTHING because you've never had anything resembling a life experience that would give you perspective on the world outside of your surface-level identity label you need to be distinguishable from the grey goo you are in your soul.
...Intended to say "I could say so much but I won't" but I'm not deleting a word of this out of spite for the scifi cesspit.

>>8948964
>>8948965
What about some of the stuff from these threads? There's posters here that try some original stuff, but I never see anons talking about it.

>>8948975
I've only read a dozen or so /xeno/ stories so far , and I'm to retarded and or inept to say much beyond "I liked this" or "I didn't like this".

>>8948979
That's fine, not everyone knows how to best put their thoughts on paper. And desu, even simple replies are pretty rare in these threads nowadays. But for the ones who seem to have a ton of grievances, I was just wondering if they lurk here enough for the stuff not posted in our outdated OP. It's hard enough looking for obscure stuff outside of here, too.

>>8948975
I mean the prose is better because it has to be, but it's so self-indulgent in purpose and short + erratically updated it's hard to gauge. Most of the high-quality high-concept stuff is more hmofa then xeno sadly.
Snekguy is sitting on the throne right now cause he's the one writing longform stories with built up settings and an ongoing conflict... though the "long" part is starting to be an issue.

>>8949043
Have you read any from https://scbmstories.com/ ? They’re making their own sci-fi series.

>>8949043
A little vague, but I hope you'll humor me a little. Outside of snekguy, not many people seem to have the time to write as much as him, but people STILL write enough to have something to talk about. Short 5k chapters can still be discussion worthy but chats about those that don't happen here anyway. So how much do you need to gauge whether the material is interesting, especially if it's not longform stories? Furthermore, what do you mean by "self-indulgent?" That there's too much smut or that it's all too niche? Because this is a hobby space, it's all self-indulgent, even pinwheel. These threads may not as active as they used to be (and truthfully, weren't that much alive years ago either), but coming here to post oc of any kind has not been as engaging as it used to be. If you want to foster more creative posting, speak out about it. Talk about it. Because what's the point in sharing something if it isn't fun.

Maybe you should try and discuss something other than why there aren't discussions.

>>8949158
It wasn't just about the lack of discussion, but the lack of interests in much of anything here. A guy dropped a completed novel featuring nonhumanoid alien characters and it barely nudged the thread and another dropped a lore doc with literal historical xeno literature. But try giving this a look.

I think it's pretty cool and I want to talk about it more. I just haven't believed these threads would be interested in them, lately.

>>8949170 (Me)
The og link goes to whole playlist, they've all got some neat lore with their own unique narrative to follow. Even the humans got some weird bio-punk shit going on.

The lore doc came from L.L. It's a work in progress but all of the written stories in there are complete.

There's lots of cool stuff out there to find, but everything is too centralized for it's own good.

>>8948975
I don't really read fanfics anymore, I don't have the time or energy to stay invested nowadays

>>8949241
I feel you, just searching through the shit ones puts me right off of fanfics most of the time. Some anons have said we need more flash fiction, but they don't seem that popular or common. One of these days I could put together a place for people to dump links to short one-shot stories, since the smut list in the OP hasn't been edited lately.

is the additional finger a thing from the void game aliens? I remember seeing the official models of these ayys looking kinda rough.

I wish Rain World fan content wasn't so faggy or furry-style (still seething over getting vacationed over posting vaguely furry-style Jackal art) cause right now the actual game is pretty much the peak alien setting.
Shifting topics in same post, Anyone remember what these are/what they're from? Saved from previous thread but can't find the context.

It's a very particular thing but I'm finding it hard to describe...

>>8942905
I wouldn't say it's entirely impossible to have a hard science take on ayyylmao crossbreeding but it'd require a very strange physiology on the ayyys part.

>>8952693
Do you suppose just maybe that art can be about things other than sex?

Maybe every species uses the same form of genetics?

A race of hexapodal quadropeds that ruled over their homesystem, having become a Type-2 civilization and subjugating other local sophonts. Their tyrannical reign lasted around, for at most, 10,000 years, before ultimately falling apart and becoming extinct for several hundred years, becoming a Lazarus species from being resurrected by a failsafe activated by a Terran scouting fleet that visited and explored some ruins. And this powerful, newly resurrected civilization gradually began to regrow, less tyrannical and bloodthirsty than their frightful ancestors, but still faced understandable prejudice from the other native races of their star system, especially the Mogor, former livestock and labor forces who evolved on the same planet together as predator and prey.
They possess xygoldactyl feet/hands, two limbs of which are used exclusively as legs with the feet having secondarily evolved into a more pamprodactyl digitigrade configuration. This is why the claws on the outer toes are reversed compared to the inner toes. They can still grasp stuff, which is very handy when climbing.
During mating season, they'll often perform rituals, the most notable and popular one being ball-like events where they'd congregate in large numbers, reaching at least several hundred individual, adorning personalized masks in the style of their "house"/"tribe". A head/lord Vladactyl will be engaged with multiple mates dubbed as "brides". Males and females differ notably in their ears, with males having ridged brow crested ears and females having a split fin.
Interestingly, as discovered firsthand by the Terrans, the biochemical makeup of Terran Hemoglobin has a strong alcoholic effect on Vladactyls, which can render them inebriated, thus spawning a culture of blood-drinking.
Pictured here is a male lord just chilling and enjoying some AB+ whilst cuddling with his harem of brides, along with a lil size comp sketch showing one being interviewed by a female human sophontologist.

>>8951155
The artist goes by CaptainStroon on Reddit, and they made some more aliens and a pretty good series called Bosun's Journal, which is basically a smaller scale version of all tommorows.

Can't wait for the younger gens who'd prefer a stone age to that to start hurting people for such sentiments.

At this point even if MD releases V3 it won't be worth the years waiting for it. It's a shame too, the game was great, but MD's poor planning, lack of transparency and procrastination killed the game's momentum and the majority of the fans forgotten about it or thinks it's dead. I know at this point he considers game making a hobby, but I've seen other hobby developers complete games with higher production quality in less time than Teraurge. That said Xeno themed nsfw games are rare and niche ass hell and untill someone else starts making them MD holds the monopoly still and probably one of the few reasons he still has people donating to his patreon despite not even working on art regularly anymore let alone the game.

>>8956412
Isnt Earth like that in a LOT of scifi stories? Like in Asimov's stuff the spacers wouldnt even step on it and shit.

>>8956246
It's not even the nsfw stuff that I liked I was really enamored by the surprising intricate worldbuilding. It looked like an exotic medley blend of Kenshi, Oddworld and Morrowind all grinded up making something really unique and creative. It's such a shame the full potential was squandered, I would have loved to explore this setting seeing all these different tiers of civilizations all existing together from tribal savages, industrialist conglomolerates and house dagoth tier mystagogues.

Some of us are still trying man, but no one's obligated to care about it. Do you care about anything that comes from here?

>>8948505
I hate that thought, I find myself lately looking on stuff I'm nostalgic for and wondering if it was the shit of decades past. The idea of standards falling and people raised on it not even knowing terrifies me.

Great, I was stuck reading that til 0400. Are you happy?

>>8957900
There is nothing you'd get from playing Helldivers or Halo that you couldn't get just from looking at that

>>8956303
I've been keeping up with "The Howler from the Void" for a while, and it's just fantastic.
I really enjoy language stuff, so a large focus being: figuring out the howlers language, while also throwing the reader straight into the scent based communication of the insect aliens in medias res, and letting the reader slowly figure out the meanings of the different words on their own from the story's context clues, 'Darmok and Jalad' style, is right up my alley!
Gripping story with a bunch of interesting and very different characters that one can relate to in various ways on all the different sides of the conflict.

The author does great stuff, and if one really likes bug aliens, and don't mind if the big, juicy abdomen is attached to a cute alien boy, I greatly recommend his "unprofessional" series. They are a similarly great read, but significantly more horny.

>>8957900

Female predator doing amazon position on a Xenomorph.

what if hypothetically the xenoboi had a tiny alian cock, and he really liked to watch?

>>8941638
Do you have just the full original image with the xenomorphs? Seems the artist (trypophobla?) deleted a bunch of their stuff at one point.

Thoughts on the new snekguy species?

>>8960547
I am fucking tired of internal dicks on male aliens.

>>8960553
They have more of a mammalian sheath than an actual internal penis.

>>8960554
I mean it's basically the same thing either way.

>>8960254
Hypothetically or theoretically?

>>8960553
Who cares what the males look like. What are you gay?

>>8960547
People practically screaming at him "We want more Valb/Broker stuff" and he starts adding new shit.
So even if they're popular, that means he has even more species people want to see competing for his writing time, and he'll still be doing fucking Borealans most like.

>>8960816
This. The only male interacting with the alien girlies should be human.

>>8960554
nearly all mammals have prepuces or 'penile sheathes'. Humans are the weird ones for having it be a relatively small foreskin at the end of their dick instead of covering the entire length.

making an upright rhinoceros species and then slapping a regular human dick on it is faggot shit.
