Finally, a video is posted by Edgar regarding the land masses.
You likely already looked at the previous chapters for information about my planned continental movements, so I might not need to explain them again. Anyway, it is unknown if there will ever be a version 3.03. Also, with so much detail regarding the complexity of brainstorming plate boundaries and where faultlines are, I doubt that the spreadsheet could even do anything websites could to randomly generate astounding continents and simulate their splits and mergers to give off a rough idea for plate movement. If such sites were active, it would mean users on Chromebook would not need G-Plates.
I think the best process would be to write your plans for your continents and decide on their shapes. Maybe try it enough times until you perfected the history and whatnot. I might still need to try that for that other biosphere I was thinking about. My rough idea is a mix of Edgar's demo idea of a "Pangaea-like supercontinent in the Northern Hemisphere that just started splitting apart" with Amasia, leading to an idea for an Antarctica-like continent in the southern pole and an Amasia-like super-continent between the North Pole and the Equator. That is the starting point. Other factors could be a piece of a continent splitting off just as a different one joins another, though I don't want to go crazy with this.
For elaboration, maybe the southern polar continent could split in half while the Northern Hemisphere continent could split in three. Or the other way around. Two of those three continents could rejoin each other while the other one and one of the two halves of the Antarctica-like supercontinent could split even further. One piece of them could join a piece of the other, though I'm also thinking of an island continent breaking off that rejoined one. Maybe a piece of one of the remaining land masses could join another as it loses another piece splitting off.
Maybe I could, if collaborating with other users like that Discord server I was once a part of, allow them to add their conlangs and cultures, while also brainstorming some of my own, in case theirs lack interesting phonemes like the glottal affricate, lateral released consonants, clicks, prenasalized obstruents and/or approximants, etc. Here's one of my ideas: a mix between Ancient Egyptian with High Valyrian.
Consonants: p, b, t, d, k, g, q, ʔ, m, n, r, β, ð, s, z, ɣ, ħ, ʕ, h, j, l, ʎ, w,
Vowels: a, e, i, o, u, ə, aː, iː, uː
Syllables: ???
Stress: ???
Writing system: a logography, which is later a mix between a logography and an abjad-alphabet hybrid
I'm thinking of one to mix Valyrian(due to there being a scene of someone writing it with the Latin script) with Ȧᵹlıꞅc.
I'm also thinking of mixing Proto-Uralo-Siberian with the common ancestor of Vorin and Makabaki.
And one based on these two ideas.
I also want some of the conlangs to include some co-articulated consonants, consonants with prenasalized appendixes or similar like pre-glottalization, and some harmony systems. I'll avoid sibilant harmony since Oqolaawak has it, and that vowel harmony system for high and low vowels not occurring in the same word might be avoided as well. So I might go for a harmony system where front vowels on one side and back vowels on the other cannot co-occur within the same word, with some exceptions, which I'm sometimes thinking about.
And nasal harmony and (I think) nasal vowels are out of the picture or question as Modern Edun uses nasal harmony and Ulazredhũn uses phonemic nasal vowels. So I might go for the other harmony systems.
Some extra information will be a thing someday.
