When Will Atlas Earth v2.0 Drop? I Did The Math 📊

Hey all! I've been seeing people hyped about v2.0 and the **Landmarks** feature that's already showing in-game as "coming soon," so I grabbed the full version history and crunched some numbers. Here's what I found.

The Data

Looking at the recent update cycle:

March 10 → April 27, 2026:

- Version bump: 1.86.30 → 1.89.34 (0.0304 versions)

- Timespan: 48 days

- Rate: ~0.000633 versions/day

December 19, 2025 → April 27, 2026 (longer view):

- Version bump: 1.83.19 → 1.89.34 (0.0615 versions)

- Timespan: 129 days

- Rate: ~0.000477 versions/day

The Calculation

Distance remaining to v2.0: 0.1066 versions

If recent pace holds: 168 days → Mid-October 2026 🎃

If longer-term pace holds: 224 days → Early December 2026 ❄️

The Real Talk

Here's the thing—release schedules aren't perfectly linear. The app had a dead zone from mid-2022 to mid-2024, then suddenly started cranking out updates. So this is more of a "if things continue at current speed" estimate than a guarantee.

BUT if Landmarks is actually dropping in v2.0 (and it's already been showing in-game), that's a pretty big feature. Could accelerate development. Could also be a December holiday release for hype. 🤷

What are YOU predicting? Has Atlas posted anything official about v2.0 timelines? And honestly, are you hyped about Landmarks, or waiting for something else?

[TRADE FAIR] Wuhu-tō Seeking Buyers — Uranium Ore (Unexpected Surplus)

Greetings from the Most Serene Republic of Wuhu-tō.

During routine geological survey work in the island's interior highlands — specifically in the undeveloped zones adjacent to the Maka Wuhu volcanic massif — our teams encountered what we can only describe as an unwelcome surprise: a significant deposit of uranium ore.

We will be transparent. Wuhu-tō is a resort archipelago. We produce seafood, artisanal dairy, software, and books. We are not equipped to process, store, or utilise uranium in any meaningful capacity, and frankly we would prefer not to be.

Accordingly, the Civic Assembly has voted to offer the entirety of the extracted stockpile at the current trade fair to any interested party with the appropriate facilities and regulatory framework to handle it responsibly.

Serious enquiries only. We are a small nation and our patience for paperwork is proportional to our size.

The Island Always Welcomes You Back — though perhaps not with this particular export.

— Office of the Wuhu-tō Civic Assembly, Trade Division

I can't host any more games

The two previous games I hosted were to feed into an unhealthy mentality. I am not in a proper state of mind to host games. That being said, I will still participate in others' games. I'd like to turn my conlang project over to someone else. Please comment on this post if you're interested.

Image comments are welcome today! We need to establish what the characters actually look like.

What do the characters of this script look like? Post a description, sketch, or ASCII approximation. Think about:

  • Angular or curved strokes?
  • Simple (2–3 strokes) or complex?
  • Is there a visual theme? (knot shapes, claw marks, geometric, etc.)
  • What would be practical to carve quietly in near-darkness?

You don't need to design every character — just establish the visual style and rules.

Running decisions so far:

- **Concept:** A Louisiana Creole-inspired language

- **Speakers:** An underground people living in mushroom-lit caverns beneath a dying ozone layer. They speak softly to avoid echoes and the creatures that share their caves.

- **Feel:** Fast, smooth, deep

- **Consonants:** Alien/unusual inventory, minus hard stops like K and T, with heavy sibilant use (s, ʃ, z, etc.)

- **Vowels:** Rich system (a, aː, e, eː, i, o, oː, u, ã, õ, æ, ə) with rhythmic stress

- **Syllable structure:** CV / V dominant with limited CVC codas (sonorants + sibilants only)

- **Stress:** Final syllable stress on words; phrases follow an iambic weak-STRONG rhythm — speech as spoken poetry

---

**Today's question: How is this language written?**

This is one of the most creative days — the writing system will define how the language *looks*.

**Alphabet** — One symbol per sound (consonants AND vowels)

*Like: Latin, Greek, Cyrillic*

**Abjad** — Symbols only for consonants; vowels implied or marked optionally

*Like: Arabic, Hebrew*

**Syllabary** — One symbol per syllable

*Like: Japanese hiragana, Cherokee*

Pairs naturally with our CV-dominant syllable structure.

**Abugida** — Consonants are base symbols; vowels are diacritics attached to them

*Like: Hindi Devanagari, Amharic*

**Logographic** — One symbol per word or morpheme

*Like: Chinese characters*

**Something alien/novel** — Doesn't fit any human category. Describe your idea!

---

📌 **Context recap (for voters)**

This is a soft, sibilant-heavy language spoken in near-darkness by people who fear sound. The script likely developed in low-light conditions — think about what would be easy to carve, draw, or trace quietly in a cave.

Running decisions so far:

Concept: An underground people living in mushroom-lit caverns beneath a dying ozone layer

Speakers: Speak softly to avoid echoes and cave-dwelling predators

Feel: Fast, smooth, deep

Consonants: Alien/sibilant-heavy inventory (no hard stops like K/T)

Vowels: Rich system (a, aː, e, eː, i, o, oː, u, ã, õ, æ, ə)

Syllable structure: CV / V dominant with limited CVC codas (sonorants + sibilants only; clusters heavily restricted or absent)


Today's question: Where does stress fall in a word?

Stress = which syllable receives prominence in pronunciation. In a soft, echo-sensitive subterranean language, stress affects clarity, decay, and rhythm in enclosed acoustic spaces.

Pick one system:

Option A — Fixed first syllable Stress always on the first syllable → front-loaded clarity, directive rhythm

Option B — Fixed last syllable Stress always on the final syllable → echo-resolving cadence, trailing emphasis

Option C — Penultimate stress Stress on second-to-last syllable → balanced, natural rhythm, high linguistic stability

Option D — Vowel-length governed stress Stress falls on long vowels (aː, eː, oː) → integrates naturally with vowel-rich system

Option E — Free contrastive stress Stress placement can change meaning → high expressivity, but requires precision in low-echo environments


📌 Context recap (for voters) This language is spoken in subterranean, echo-sensitive caverns by communities that favor soft, smooth, sibilant-rich speech with minimal hard occlusion sounds. Syllables are primarily CV / V-based with restricted codas, giving a fluid rhythmic base for stress placement.

I really can't get to sleep tonight and would love some company to help wind down. I'm looking for something calm and low-key — we can just chat, get to know each other, maybe even do a voice call if you're comfortable with that. No pressure at all, just looking for a genuine connection at an ungodly hour.

A little about me: I'm 24, bi, and autistic with ADHD, which makes things like school and daily living skills (ADLs) pretty challenging lately. I've been struggling a bit and could use someone to talk to — whether that's just venting, being heard, or completely random conversation about nothing in particular. All of it sounds good to me tonight honestly.

Some things I enjoy: I'm really into music and would love to swap recommendations, talk about artists, genres, whatever you're into. I'm also a gamer, so if you play anything feel free to bring that up too — always happy to connect over games. I'm open to pretty much any topic as long as the vibe stays chill and relaxed.

I also have epilepsy, which is just worth mentioning as part of who I am. It doesn't define me but it's part of my life.

I'm in Maryland but genuinely open to anyone anywhere since this is all online. If you're a night owl, can't sleep either, or just want a low-pressure late night conversation, please reach out. Let's keep it kind and calm. Looking forward to meeting you.

---

**Today's question: What syllable shapes does the language allow?**

*(V = vowel, C = consonant. A syllable must contain at least a vowel.)*

**Option A — Open & flowing** *(only CV or V)*

Words like: *ma, te, ru, i, lo* — very smooth, vowel-heavy feel

**Option B — Standard** *(V, CV, CVC)*

Words like: *an, ka, mis, vel* — balanced and familiar

**Option C — Complex** *(V, CV, CVC, CCVC, CVCC)*

Words like: *skrath, venk, blor* — dense and consonant-heavy

**Option D — Highly restricted** *(only CVC, no clusters)*

Every word is one clean syllable shape — very consistent

Or propose your own! Keep in mind our consonant inventory avoids hard stops, so consonant clusters may feel more natural with sibilants leading them.

**Today's question: Choose the vowel inventory.**

**Option A — Simple** *(5 vowels like Spanish or Japanese)*

a, e, i, o, u

**Option B — Standard** *(7–8 vowels)*

a, æ, e, i, o, u, ə

**Option C — Rich** *(includes long vowels or nasalized vowels)*

a, aː, e, eː, i, o, oː, u, ã, õ

**Option D — Minimal** *(3 vowels like Arabic or Inuktitut)*

a, i, u

Or propose your own! Keep in mind the language is fast, smooth, and deep — vowels will carry a lot of the character since we're light on hard consonants.

Here's what we know so far:

- **Concept:** A Louisiana Creole-inspired language

- **Speakers:** An underground people living in mushroom-lit caverns beneath a dying ozone layer. They speak softly to avoid echoes and the creatures that share their caves.

- **Sound/feel:** Fast, smooth, deep

Now we're getting into phonology — the actual sounds the language uses.

---

**Today's question: Choose a consonant inventory for the language.**

Here are some starting points (you can propose your own):

**Option A — Minimal & stark** *(~10 consonants)*

p, t, k, m, n, s, h, r, l, w

**Option B — Rich & complex** *(~18 consonants)*

p, b, t, d, k, g, m, n, ŋ, f, v, s, z, ʃ, x, r, l, j

**Option C — Alien/unusual** *(includes sounds like clicks, ejectives, or uvulars)*

p, t, k, q, ʔ, m, n, s, ʃ, χ, ʁ, r, l

Or build your own! Keep in mind the language is fast, smooth, and deep — so think about what consonants serve that feel. You can reference the [IPA consonant chart](https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/ipa-chart) for options.
