Iām ready to host another Seamer-drawing livestream and this time Iām remembering to announce it on the blog!Ā
The stream will be on Sunday, September 24th at 3pm EST and hosted on the SkyJam Youtube channel!Ā
Iāve got a whole bunch of submissions Iāll be drawing on stream, but youāre welcome to keep submitting designs until the stream- Anything submitted before the stream starts is eligible to be drawn live!Ā
Additionally, there are two Seamers in particular Iām looking for at the moment- Toxic-type evolves for these two:
Ideally Iāll be drawing these two on stream, if people submit designs for them. I guess weāll see what people come up with between now and then!Ā

Hello, everyone! Today I'm doing my fifth Seamer stream! If you don't know what Seamers are I'm sure this is all very confusing, so check out the Seamer De...
Ā Sorry for the delay on this one, everyone, but this is a bit of a big update! Today weāll be going over all remaining lines currently planned for the SDCP:
Hefty Mammals
Bears
Seals
Spooks
Ancients
Paper Dragons
Cephalopods
Aliens
Ā Iāve decided to cover all the remaining lines in this one post because several of them are empty or have not formed any solid structure yet. The SDCP is constantly changing, and several of the lines weāve already covered in the past have been reorganized beyond recognition. Thereās also still a chance other lines could be added if some fantastic idea strikes?
Ā Ā Ā For now though, lets get into these!Ā
As always, any open spot is free for you to submit designs for!
Hefty Mammals, Bears and Seals
Ā Ā Ā So these are three distinct lines with one thing in common- All of them are technically empty right now!! I might end up cutting some or most of these, or I may combine theĀ āSealsā andĀ āHefty Mammalsā lines, but as of right now Iām not sure! They all involve some ideas Iād like to see happen. Their layouts are just general ideas right now too, not at all set in stone. If you have an idea for one of these, please let me know!!
Spooks
Ā Ā On the other end of the spectrum, this line is nearly done and is also the largest tree in the dex! I realize having a succubus may seem a little inappropriate for my style but the idea of it being Love/Combat is too good to pass up! Iām looking for a family-friendly succubus design, as odd as that sounds. Unfortunately Feyursa may need to be cut if Wizards of the Coast owns the rights toĀ āOwlbearsā as a concept. I need to look into that.
Ancients
Ā Ā Ā This is actually my favorite line at the moment! Monkeys and Robots and Colossi- Whatās not to love? Thereās a lot to be filled in though, but Iām excited to keep working on it and to see what you come up with too! I think most of these are pretty self explanatory, except for āGamemonā, which is an old Seamer I designed in 6th grade for a Digimon inspired comic I made with my friends. Iāll take care of redesigning it for the Dex, so leave it to me! The rest here are fair game, though!
Paper Dragon
Ā Ā Ā Based solely on the Chinese New Year Dragons, this line is very small and almost done!! Maybe this is the closest weāll get to a legendary?Ā
Cephalopods
Ā Ā Ā This is a line a lot of people have an interest in from what I can tell, and finally Iām going over it here on the dex! I think I want to end up with only six Seamers on this line, so I guess weāll see what ends up being cut based on the designs that are submitted? Thereās not a lot else to say about this one, except that the Moon Jelly might actually end up taking that Baby spot!
Aliens
Ā Ā Ā This is another tree that might get jumbled around a bit. The Kandinsky Seamer (which will be based on my favorite artist) might actually jump down a few rows to only evolve from the baby and not evolve further. The Sun and Moon seamers arenāt even attached to the tree yet! Thereās some work to be done here, but that gives you all quite a bit of freedom with your designs for this one!Ā
Alright, thatās it for Part 5 of the SDCP 2.0 update!
-And the SDCP 2.0 update as a whole!Ā
Ā Ā Ā Weāve now covered every line currently intended for the dex. Some Seamers might seem like theyāre missing, but that almost certainly means theyāve been added to a line Iāve already covered after I covered it! (For example, Icikell is now a member of the same line as Bubbley!) Some other Seamers, such as Lexitext, require certain conditions to be met to evolve into them and so they donāt fit into any one line! Iāll go over those āBizarre Conditionā Seamers more another time.
Ā Ā Ā Whatās next, you ask? Well I have some things Iām considering, (Such as returning to the bi-weekly challenge format,) but Iām not certain yet, so Iāll announce what the next step is after the next Seamer Stream!Ā
Ā Ā Ā Like last time, Iāll announce and hold the Seamer Stream once I think I have enough submissions I want to draw in it! Iām thinking around 10 again, that worked well last time.
Ā Ā Ā Iām sorry this update took so long to come out! I wanna keep saying more but already this shouldāve gone up weeks ago. Iām just going to post it now!!
Come submit your designs and talk Seamers with other designers over on the Hetrea Discord Server!
Ā Ā Here we are again with the third part of our 2.0 Update! Today, weāll be looking at the following evolutionary trees:
Freshwater Fish
Minerals
Hoofed
Water
Amphibians
Ā Ā As a side note, some of the trees from last time have been updated and changed slightly, but thatās something weāll get back to once weāre done introducing all the lines! Letās get into these!
As with last time, any open spot is free for you to submit designs for!
Freshwater Fish
Ā Ā So uh, I donāt know a lot about fish, yet. Because of that, this line is a little... Barren. That being said, it gives you a TON of freedom in terms of what you can submit for this one!
Ā Ā Hereās the wikipedia page for Freshwater Fish, which is a good starting place for finding a species to base a Seamer off of!
Minerals
Ā Ā So right off the bat Iāll say that the āPsychic Gemā in the center is going to be a redesign of āFuorsiteā, though Iām not sure what direction to take that in yet. The āGemstoneā slots can be any gems, so youāve got quite a bit of freedom in terms of what you can design a Seamer around- Iām sure different gems lend themselves to different types quite well! Thereās not much in this tree, so the actual shape of it is subject to change as well- This is just a rough draft.
Ā Ā You mightāve noticed that the tree trails off to the right from the baby, and thatās because thereās a line of Seamers off to the side there that Iām not quite ready to reveal yet!
Hoofed
Ā Ā So as you may know our trio of deer were designed before we switched over to this more web-based system of evolution, and this line was built around them somewhat. Iām unsure of exactly what to do with horses / unicorns / pegusi / zebras so that sectionās kinda just a block right now. What do you think that branch of the tree should be like?
Ā Ā Iām not married to anything on this tree yet, so if you have any ideas as to how we can change it, let me hear it!
Water
Ā Ā I originally had this line labelled as āSlimesā but the main Seamer here is Bubbley who is distinctly not a slime, so Iāve gone with āWaterā instead! This line is overall pretty straightforward, I think! (I know this is one a lot of people have been looking forward to seeing, too!)
Ā Ā Oilurk needs to be redesigned to be a bit more complex, but otherwise this line is MOSTLY done! A stark contrast to our next line...
Amphibians
Ā Ā You might notice that there are no finished Seamers here, and thatās very unfortunate! Somehow weāve avoided drawing ANY sort of frogs so far, and that needs to change! What Iāve listed above are my general ideas for the Amphibian Seamers but really everything is a free-for-all with this line as things stand. Frogs are fun to draw, too! Letās get on this!
Alright, thatās it for Part 3 of the SDCP 2.0 update!
As with last time, your challenge is to design any of the missing Seamers from these lines, or any of the lines we covered last week! The last stream was a HUGE success and Iām excited to see what more designs are submitted this time!
Speaking of Seamer streamsā¦
The next SDCP LiveStream will be on Sunday the 25th at 3pm EST!
Iāll be drawing more Seamers and organizing more charts, and I hope to see you all there! Letās try to beat last streamās high-score of 8 Seamers drawn! ^_^
The ādexā page is being updated to list these lines shortly after this post goes live!
As with last time, you can come submit your designs and talk Seamers with other designers over on the Hetrea Discord Server:

Ā Ā Ā So! Here we are! Iāve decided to break the 2.0 Update into seperate parts, as detailing EVERY evolutionary tree in one post would be far too much information all at once. Today, weāre going to be looking at the first five trees in the dex, which are the following:
Starters
Early Birds
Early Bugs
Rodents
Early Plants
Ā Ā Ā Birds, Bugs and Plants fill more than one evolutionary tree each, so theyāve been split into categories such as Early Bug, Middle Bug and Late Bug, etc. The use of the wordsĀ āEarly, Middle and Lateā refer to when these trees would be encountered in the Seamer Game. The Early lines weāre looking at today are also simpler, and smaller in size. Letās get started!
The Starter Line
Ā Ā Ā Now this is a line that youāre likely to be familiar with if youāve been following the SDCP for a while! Thus, itās a perfect example of how the new Evolutionary Tree Charts look and are read!
Ā Ā Ā As you can see, only one space is empty here, (the lighter blue) which will be the Baby of this line, evolving into Kinler. I already know that this Baby will be based on Metly, a Seamer who appeared in my old game Seamer World 2 and who has existed as a Seamer since 2002.Ā
Metly will be renamedĀ āMedlyā as a nod to the variety of types it can end up evolving into, and will have a more humanoid shape. Iāll take care of this design on my own, and then this evolutionary tree will be done!Ā
Early Birds
Ā Ā Ā Hereās a slightly more complex line! Letās start at the bottom and make our way up.
Ā Ā Ā First up is this lineās Baby, which is a small yet unnamed bird. It can evolve into four Seamers, being Skyjay and Scarlinal under normal conditions, a Hummingbird in tropical areas and a Pigeon (Working name Pibin) in urban areas. Ā
The Pigeon is Love type and does not evolve further. Such a dependency on humans for food ends this Seamerās growth.Ā
The Hummingbird is Air/Plant and has two evolutions, an Air/Plant Peacock and an Air/Sound Parrot. Neither has been designed yet.Ā
Ā Ā Ā You may notice the Parrotās box is hollow- Thatās because its home Evolutionary Tree is not this one, but rather a later Bird three, where it can also evolve from Seasail. Seamers appearing on a chart that is not their home chart are represented with hollow boxes, as seen above.
Skyjay and Scarlinal both evolve into a Hawk Seamer, who in turn can evolve into two types of Eagles. It took me a long time to decide on this, but I have ultimately scrapped Ceruliu and Nalidae for the time being. SkyJay and Scarlinal work much better as alternatives to one another, both filling the same evolutionary role for a little variety!
Youāre welcome to submit any designs for the four Seamers missing from this chart!
EARLY BUGS
Lo and behold, this is our first finished chart! Itās entirely possible that more may be added on in the future, but as it stands Iām SO happy about how this one has come out. I am unsure of what to do with Rhinuto, as it does not fit the rest of this chart despite also being a Beetle. Iāll continue thinking about that. It will likely end up in a different tree altogether!
Rodents
Another line thatās finished, kinda!
Iām considering changing the color of either the mouse Baby or Sciurpal. (Whom also may be renamed Scuripal?)Ā
As of right now, this line and the two preceding it each are planned to have exactly 9 Seamers in it, and Iām totally in love with how well that worked out! I think theyāre a great example of how the same number of Seamers can be arranged in a variety of different ways!
Now you might be thinking that this first part of the SDCP 2.0 update leaves you with little to do! Worry not, because the final evolutionary tree in this update is far from finished!
Plants
Hereās what I have currently for the Plants line. It is not organized in any order, as I have so few plant Seamers to work with that I donāt know how the chart will look yet! This is just a list of ideas that Iād like to work into Seamer designs in some way. Maybe the Cherry Blossom is very small and round, or maybe itās humanoid? I just donāt know yet!
I have some loose ideas, such as the Coconut evolving into the Palm tree, but ultimately this is something of a wishlist. I also would like to split this into two, maybe even three Evolutionary Webs but until I see the Seamers in front of me I donāt know how to split these up!
THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!Ā
Your āchallengeā this week is to submit as many designs as youād like based on these plants or any other plant life youād like to make a Seamer out of! (Also submitting birds from the earlier chart is helpful too.)
Feel free to flood me with plant ideas, even drawing up a full three-part evolution if you so choose to!Ā
You have a little over a week, until Sunday, May 28th at 3pm ESTĀ to do so, because thatās when Iām hosting my first entirely-SDCP Live Stream to draw up plant Seamer designs and put together this Plant Evolutionary Tree with all of your help in the chat!
After that stream Iāll post part two of the SDCP 2.0 update, detailing more family lines!Ā
Once again, the stream is Sunday, May 28th at 3pm EST!Ā
In the mean time Iāll keep on drawing Seamers of my own as I have been! Letās do this!!Ā
I know Iāve gone silent lately but Iām still working behind the scenes! Iāve decided to plan out every Seamer Family line to the best of my ability, even the ones that donāt have anything drawn for them yet! As of right now there are a nice round 30 evolutionary trees, and some will cross over a bit!
My plan is to finish putting together a rough draft of how I picture each line unfolding, and then make a massive SDCP 2.0 post on here outlining what needs to be done for each line so everyone will be able to submit designs for whichever lines inspire them!Ā
There might not even be weekly challenges any more, as I may just post the accepted submissions as I draw them! This will become more like a community-driven dev blog, perhaps? Weāll see how this all goes down once I make that big SDCP 2.0 post.
When is it coming, you ask? Iām not certain and I canāt make any promises! I know I have more people invested in Dot XĀ and SkyJam than I do this, so unfortunately this project often has to take the back seat. Iām dedicated to this project though, so donāt you worry! Itās coming as soon as I can make it! ^_^
Ā Ā Ā Weāve got ourselves a little rock band here! Sorry Iāll stop.
Ā Ā Ā On the left is Turpās suggestion, a Rock Lobster Seamer! (Whom I am calling Lobrok!)Ā While this one is based on a song, itāll be just Earth type. This oneās actually an evolution for Lobsturf!Ā
This was also the only submission for this challenge, so the other two up above are both my own designs!
Ā Ā Ā The center friend is Yueki, a Music type Seamer based on a Yueqin! Iāve been doing some research on instruments I hadnāt heard of, and this one already looked like it had a face! How could I not?
Ā Ā Ā Speaking of instruments Iām just now discovering, on the right is Oodoo, a Music / Earth type Seamer based on an Udu drum! The Uduās an instrument Iāve heard throughout my life without ever knowing what it was. Look it up! The sounds it makes are so unique!
Here are the patch notes for this update:
LobrokĀ added to the Dex [Earth]
Yueki added to the Dex [Music]
Oodoo added to the Dex [Music/Earth]
Ā These Seamers will be added to the Dex now, and Challenge #21 will be up Ā after that! There are a lot of BIG changes/new ideas coming to the world of Seamers very soon, and Iām excited to share them all with you, though Iāll need another week to prepare! (Expect a major shakeup of the Dex order!)Ā
