Howdy Ranchers ๐Ÿ‘‹
It's time for the Creature Collector festival! We're thrilled to be included among a whole heap of other critter collecting games this year, and even more excited to announce that Paleo Pines is 60% off ๐Ÿฅณ
You can also pick up the Spooktacular, and Trick or Treat DLCs for 50% off until the end of the festival on the 19th of May ๐Ÿคฉ

We've also designed a selection of limited edition merch to go along with the festival, which you can check out here if you're interested!

What's YOUR collector style? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Do you prefer to befriend dinos of a specific colour? Got a ranch full of desmatosuchus? We want to know!

Paleo Pines Player's Choice - First Stage of Fundraising ๐Ÿฑโ€๐Ÿ

We are delighted to be able to finally open up the very first stage of our fundraising campaign - our VIP programme.
As so many of you know, we are going to be launching a Kickstarter to fund new content in Paleo Pines. The very first step towards this campaign is now live and youโ€™re able to become a Paleo Pines VIP for $1 (set as low as possible to keep it accessible to everyone!).

What IS the VIP Programme?
Youโ€™re probably wondering what exactly is the VIP programme? Well let us explain! This is a space where weโ€™ll be sharing exclusive behind the scenes content, where youโ€™ll get to chat directly with our team, and have priority access to limited edition rewards before anyone else! Not to mention you will receive a unique in-game item that is ONLY available to VIP members! Plus a fancy VIP role on our Discord server, and access to a VIP ONLY Facebook group!

Using this VIP membership is a tried and tested technique for us to build up a community around the campaign in the hopes of achieving as many of our goals as possible. Itโ€™s typically used pre-campaigns as a way of validating interest. We KNOW thereโ€™s a lot of interest from you guys, so at first it didn't seem necessary for us to have a VIP programme, but after thinking about it a little more we fell in love with the idea of hosting an exclusive special place to talk all things Kickstarter with you - plus this is a fun way to thank you for your early commitment for the campaign!

Weโ€™re calling the extension pack Paleo Pines: Playersโ€™ Choice because everything weโ€™re planning on offering is based on what youโ€™ve asked for over the years and itโ€™s with your support that we will make it happen!

So we would be honoured if you would join us today!

FAQs
  • "Does the e-mail I use have to match the e-mail of my discord account to get the VIP role?"
    No, it doesn't! E-mails will be sent out to receive the information of the discord account you wish to attach the VIP role to, and the role will be manually applied by the team.

  • "I can't use credit card, but it's the only option, is there any other way?"
    We are looking into potentially seeing if any other payment methods (such as Paypal) can be unlocked for the VIP system, but it is not guaranteed. You can however use a debit card if you have access to one!

  • "How long will the VIP reserves be open for?"
    There is no specific date on when the VIP reserves will close, but they are guaranteed to be up for at least another week, if not more!

  • "I don't want to join the facebook group, will I miss out on VIP content?"
    No! All of the posts that go into the VIP facebook group will also go into the VIP specific channel within discord, you won't miss out on anything!


๐Ÿ›  Patch Notes - 1.5.17 ๐Ÿ› 

Howdy Ranchers! ๐Ÿ‘‹

We have a tiny wee update today, say hello to Paleo Pines version 1.5.17!
Image text will be transcribed below ๐Ÿ‘‡



There's only one notable fix in version 1.5.17, and we want to extend (and encourage!) a huge thanks to our former Tech Lead, Rob, for taking the time to get this particular bug fixed for us.

  • Fixed dino tracking quests not correctly spawning the dino, which could lead to players getting stuck in place.

As we hope you all know, we're gearing up to launch our Kickstarter soon, and hopefully we'll be able to welcome the full team back then!
Thank you all for your patience in this tricky time for the studio, we're not giving up on Paleo Pines yet either.
Lots of love,
The Paleo Pines Team ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ–

April Roadmap Update ๐Ÿ“…

Howdy folks! ๐Ÿ‘‹
Can you believe it's already April?! ๐ŸŒท Our little team has been super busy getting ready for our Kickstarter, we're launching our VIP program in just a few days! Keep your eyes peeled for that! ๐Ÿ‘€

We also want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has participated in our Power of Peaceful Play research! Your insights are incredible, and it's amazing to see how much cozy gaming means to all of you. ๐Ÿ’– If you haven't filled in your survey yet, there's still plenty of time, and we'll send out another email blast in the final week of it being open.

We did have a little bump in the road with our vinyl Lucky not getting funded, which is a bit of a bummer๐Ÿ˜” It means we might have to get a little creative with our Kickstarter promotion, but we're staying positive and pushing forward, knowing we have such an awesome community supporting us! ๐Ÿ’ช

Looking ahead, we've got a super cute plushie duo coming your way! โœจ And... drumroll please... we're launching on TWO new gaming platforms this week! Stay tuned for the big reveal! ๐Ÿฅณ



Lots of love,
The Paleo Pines Team ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฆ–
