Paleo Pines News

Below is an overview of the current accessibility and sound options in Paleo Pines.

We fully recognise that there is much more we could have done given time and resources, but we wanted to share our current accessibility considerations for Paleo Pines.

We will continue to improve upon these over time so that the widest audience possible can enjoy the game.

• Our UI was designed by a person with dyslexia, and our dialogue font size is a nice chunky 24p.
  
• For gameplay critical elements, such as the dino bubbles, we chose colours that take into account colour blindness.
  
• Where audio elements are gameplay critical (such as the dino friend call), we have included visual cues to ensure people with hearing impairments can play.
  
• The default character speed can be slowed down to a walk to increase accuracy for people with fine motor impairments.
  

In addition, In Paleo Pines, you will have the ability to adjust the audio options to suit your needs and preferences with the game loading at 50% volume and music, sounds and UI all being adjustable.


Audience questions:

Will there be motion blur and can it be disabled?
There is no motion blur but there is a general blur as part of the aesthetic and yes it can be turned off as part of the accessibility settings.

What about neurodivergent people?
There are many ways in which people can be neurodivergent, and we have a team with a variety of neurodivergences who have all contributed their thoughts to the game. However, we haven't specifically targeted any neurodivergences in isolation.

To help us spread the good news that we'll be coming to Steam and Steamdeck in 2023 we thought it was about time we updated our website. On our website you'll find:

Paleo Pines is a wonderfully quirky island populated with friendly dinosaurs and welcoming townsfolk. When you arrive in Paleo Pines, you'll move into an old ranch that you need to fix up. Make your own patch of paradise with the help of the wacky townsfolk of Pebble Plaza and the newfound friendship of the wild dinosaurs of the region. But it's more than just a farming sim - it's up to you and your trusty Parasaurolophus Lucky to uncover the lost history of Paleo Pines.

Meet dinosaurs while enlisting them to fix up your ranch and grow crops to create a cozy sanctuary in this unique, charming farming sim. With in-depth character customization and a broad selection of styles, you can turn your plot of land into the dino ranch of your dreams.

Befriending dino companions is the name of the game in Paleo Pines - tasty treats, nose boops and comfy pens will aid you in your quest to fill your haven with a variety of creatures. You’ll keep track of their dislikes and favorites with a handy dino journal. Paleo Pines also provides a variety of locations to explore - from flowery fields to high canyons, you can make the most out of each day exploring enchanting landscapes and witnessing different species in the lush wilderness.
