Planetary Pals/Development

A page about the development of the Planetary Pals and previous Solar System-themed CRiTORA.
==2017: The Original Planet CRiTORA==
In Mid 2017, a group of planet CRiTORA were designed by Daydreaming Birdie. These CRiTORA were simply named after their respective planets. Aspects of these CRiTORA would later be reused for the Solsyms in 2020.
They were retired due to a lack of ideas at the time.

==2020-2022: The Solsyms==
In Mid 2020, it was decided to bring back the planet CRiTORA. LastyGhost would design the Solsyms. The Solsyms were a group of CRiTORA siblings who lived in the Moon District. Of the eight Solsyms, only Mancuria, Viridia, and Geno were properly developed.
In late 2020, Osmehel Solsym, the Pluto CRiTORA and the ninth Solsym, was designed, but not revealed until Early 2022, when CRiTORA: abnormal was revealed publicly.
The Solsyms were retired in December 2022 because of the fallout between Daydreaming Birdie and LastyGhost. Mancuria, Viridia, and Geno were repurposed as Man'kurr, Viridiana and Geno Nocturnym, respectively, for LastyGhost's Shrouding Rage, and Osmehel was repurposed as Osmehel Polterpolar for Technopunk.

==2023 onwards: The Planetary Pals==
Due to the fallout and being unable to use the Solsyms, Daydreaming Birdie had no choice but to make his own group of planet CRiTORA: the Planetary Pals. To distinguish them from the Solsyms, the Planetary Pals were made unrelated. Garrett Eulett also helped with designing Rocko Chunkpop, JM-80, and Sneakers Downsideup due to Daydreaming Birdie struggling to produce ideas for designs.
Once everything with LastyGhost was resolved, a tenth Planetary Pal, Kepler Solarowl, was made as a direct replacement for Osmehel Solsym for the current version of CRiTORA: abnormal. Additionally, Urua Solsym was brought back as Heinrich Isonex with no connections to the Solar System. Trident Atlantisting was also redesigned with elements of Nemo Solsym.
In 2024, Krater Solsym was repurposed as Zoom, a Serververse Coding Error.
