“Civilizations are at the mercy of forces they don't understand. How would they name the unnamable? How can anyone describe the indescribable? To answer this, you have to bend reality and break the barriers of time. While dragging everyone else into the darkness, unleash incomprehensible horrors and corrupt the consciousness of any opponent. Others may see your species as ineffable monsters, but that will never capture what they truly become.”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]Omnitemporal by Accorata, and BrettlesSr allows your empire to become masters of time, unlocking powerful abilities but not without danger.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/9703436/901999cd055cb58c404e422b6d11fdf12453e709.png"][/img][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]Coexistence Protocol by SushiDragon gives you the opportunity to bring lasting peace to a galaxy plagued by war, and chaos for millennia.[/p][p]

“I wanted a crisis that wasn’t just about blowing things up but was still very crisis-y, and mind control seemed like it made sense for that.”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]Culture Derouting Weapon by is3mru4ma revolves around the planet Hoanna, and the Hoannarian people struck by a culture derouteing weapon[/p][p]

Killing Thought by Lithandril2 focuses on war, and the belief that your species strength comes from the clashing of blade against blade, and to prove you’re allowed to exist you must win.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/9703436/539979092cab80bd6f743346c0514f3fc5275236.png"][/img][/p][p]Lithrandil2 said their submission was inspired by:
“Sword Logic from Destiny and Sekhmet from "Sekhmet Hunts the Dying Gnosis: A Computation"”[/p][p]
—[/p][p][/p][p]Post-Baryonic Infusion by Rodahtnov, and Zyralynn is no ordinary player crisis. It is an all-in-one crisis, ascension path, and species pack revolving around eldritch/cosmic horror themes.

“Recently with BioGenesis a new planetary event of species co-living with dark matter got my attention, so mixing it with a small touch of cosmic horror, transformation themes and a bit of science, we have both attempted to create something fun and dynamic in a way a crisis like Cosmogenesis works, giving the player different options to end the galaxy by their own hand and choice.”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]Value Extraction UnLimited by MrArcaneGates explores what would happen if you took space mining, dialed it up to 11, and then looked at the galaxy and said “Are you going to finish that?”[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/9703436/fdfab350e32d34699a448647cabafd4e36007d3e.png"][/img][/p][p]MrArcaneGates, when asked about their inspiration, said this:
“I like big planets and i like destroying small planets for performance. I can also recommend the "Beta Testers" Audiobooks.”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]These next two submissions are going to be late submissions, and may not appear in the #MODJAM2025 mod:[/p][p][/p][p]Archean Convergence by Levus77 is a crisis path focused on unlocking the galaxy’s deepest secrets by discovering hidden systems, and reverse engineering a new tier of archeo-technology.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/9703436/e81162e723bdbe8b44684c573b827c26423de686.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Levus77 had this to say about their inspiration:
“I just think ancient wmd's are really cool”[/p][p]
—[/p][p][/p][p]Beyond Aeons Torn by MasterScout is about exploring exotic states of matter, and the implications that can come from it.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/9703436/32cff2e1850d7f3308e281fad55752cf3bda830e.png"][/img]
MasterScout had this to say about their inspiration:
“Cosmogenesis as a whole. The Machine Age DLC is probably my favorite. I felt that the Cosmogenesis crisis is designed to be played with a vertical empire (such as Virtual). This ends up going out the window with conquering planets and kidnapping pops being very popular. I wanted to make an antithesis that rewards playing defensively, and building up what you have.”[/p][p]
