I’ve *finally* finished the script for Part 12. This one is an absolute monster. Easily the longest and most ambitious episode yet. Hopefully I can still have it finished for mid-late November.

I have officially finished the model-making stage. Now all that's left to do is compile all the images together and match them to the narration. I'm *really* hoping I can get the whole thing finished for the first week of December.

While I’m here, Alien Biospheres Part 14 is currently at 4000 words, but as I feared, it’s proving very difficult to structure. I’m hoping I can get at least the rough draft of the script finished within the next few weeks.

I’ve finished editing the audio for Part 13, and now we can commence the *final preparations*. The whole thing should be done and ready to upload this week.

And now we come to the final and most annoying part: the audio. I've just finished recording the narration and it's 6 hours long. That should get cut down to around 1 hour after editing, which I can hopefully get done within the next 3-4 days.

It occurs to me that, since these Alien Biospheres videos take so long to make, I should probably give you more updates on how they’re going. The script for Part 12 is currently about 75% finished and about 9000 words, which, even for me, is obscenely long.

Please understand that which submissions get chosen has nothing to do with artistic quality. It's just that I received over 400 submissions for this episode, so there was no way I could include all of them.

The hardest part of writing this one has been deciding how to arrange all the subtopics in a linear format, since they all kind of tie back to each other and rely on the other the topics being explained before they make sense.

I was really hoping to have the script finished by the end of September, but the evolution of social behavior is a very complex and multi-faceted topic, and one that’s very difficult to explain.

Day 21 – Qöm (*qumi), n. inanimate, “sea, ocean”. There also exists an animate equivalent Qommo, (*qumgqu), “waves, tides”

Day 19 – Aykë, (*ga'ikuw), n. human, “god, deity”. Compounding with Dëk, “house” creates Aykëdhëk, “temple”. There also exists a related animate noun Ayka (*ga’ikugqu), “divine or spiritual animal”

#Lexember
Day 11 – Tüün, tüür, tëëlrë, sütü, v. intrans. “to last, continue, endure”. From Proto-miir *tuulyi, “to live, survive”. Applying the causative prefix hAy- creates the meaning of “to prolong”, but there also exists a separate causative form Tüüsqöön, meaning “to save”

Day 30 – Lüh, (*ʎuħuw), n. human, “friend”. In possessive phrases, usually takes the standard alienable classifier (i.e. Nök lüh, “my friend”) but using the “thought” classifier implies a degree of unfamiliarity (i.e. Naqva lüh, “my acquaintance”)
0

#Lexember
Day 8 – Kisvaan, kisvaar, kisvas, sëkisva, v. trans., “to try”. Adding the Directional Applicative “il-” creates a meaning of “to search for” (has a more telic sense than Qayikkin). From Proto-miir *kisugaa, “to travel, journey, venture”
