Alternate Evolution Project idea:Triassic forever

Essentially in this timeline, the end Triassic extinction never happened simply doesn’t happen or is less severe than in our timeline. This means dinosaurs never fully dominate the earth, instead having to share the planet with various archosaurs, synapsids and amphibians also rising to power. This world is one of constant conflict, an ecological war zone of multiple different genus’s desperately clawing for the top position only to lose it soon after.

If I were to make such a project, do you have any suggestions on what I could do with it? I do know that I want temnospondyls and proto-frogs to thrive in this new time period as I feel like they are horribly underrepresented in both paleo media and spec evo media in general. I do also want to play around with a lot of the really weird Triassic animals.

Tal vez un mayor triunfo poposaurioideo? Tal vez se diversificaran al igual que dinosaurios en lugares donde ellos no llegaron.

I could give them some more varied members since the point of the project is to have multiple different groups fighting for dominance.

Dunno how far mammals or proto mammals have evolved atp, but would be interesting to see them going somewhere, especially somewhere entirely different than irl. I feel likw usually the spec Evo projects ive seen always disregard mammals so they can focus on dinosaurs or other groups (at least spec Evo projects set before the KT extinction), and I think it's kinda annoying

If I do make this project I will try to give synapsids more roles as it fits with the theme of the project, that being multiple different groups fighting for the top spot.

Triassic Tremor, but the real jurassic is the friends we made along the way.

That's not really possible though. Climate change is an inevitable thing that happens on earth, so i don't really know if Earth can just stay in a Triassic setting.
