DinoGORE News

[p]"DinoGORE" is now in a solid state, all the game mechanics are functioning as expected...or are they?

That's where you come in! [/p][p]Head over to the GAMEPAGE to download the EARLY ACCESS build today, and start smashing, tearing, ripping, clubbing, burning, crushing and skinning everything that crosses your path! We're looking for bugs, glitches, oddities and anything else that shouldn't be. These next few months leading to the January 15th 2026 release date are crucial in making it over the finish line, so we're leaning on the community to help get this thing polished in time.
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Currently, all 5 locations can be unlocked in the game. These areas include:

THE LAGOON ZONE - The starting area characterized by sandy beaches surrounding an island section housing dangerous prehistoric predators!

THE JUNGLE ZONE - The second unlockable area featuring thick forest vegetation and a steady stream of rainfall. The tribes of this land have advanced to stonecutting techniques and have constructed a temple hidden somewhere deep in the forest.

THE TUNDRA ZONE - The third unlockable area, guarded by a massive Woolly Mammoth, is a snowy wasteland that gets so cold the tribes here have to wear outfits of thick fur to survive.[/p][p][/p][p]THE DESERT ZONE - The fourth unlockable area, home to vast stretches of barren sandy dunes and constant sandstorms. Water is scarce here, and the bones of fallen giants litter the landscape[/p][p][/p][p]THE VOLCANIC ZONE - The fifth and final unlockable zone literally rains fire from the sky. The only thing deadlier than the dinosaurs here are the vast pools of bubbling lava, which instantly melts anything unlucky enough to fall into it to ash.

Each area features a different local tribe that can be fought against and dominated. With over 50 types of DINOSAURS to hunt and skin into outfits, tons of edible items and different weapons to master, you never know WHAT you may find!

[p]"DinoGORE" features a cutscene that operates like a FLASHBACK. I won't get into what it actually is so as to not spoil anything, but we see the brutal upbringing Gorack had to adapt to. Here's a sneak peak at what's to come:

[/p]

Up to this point, the SKINS you collected fore EACH SPECIES OF DINOSAUR did not save/load. Also, the CREATED OUTFITS made with those skins was not saving and loading.

That's all fixed now!

Code was the length of my arm, but it's done and tested functional! Get out there and start skinning!

Removing the "FREEZE TO DEATH" function that used to be in the TUNDRA ZONE. Just for now. The MAMMOTH SUIT does work, but takes 2 attempt to get it to work. Along with other issues that will take time to sort out. For now, you can just GO ANYWHERE no matter what outfit the character is wearing and survive the elements. Lava still kills you though!

There is also a feature for the GATHERERS to scrap/tan the skins of you fallen enemies. These skins get represented visually as they scatter the cave as more comfortable bedding for the sleeping area. These skins also accurately represent one of the many DINOSAURS that you ACTUALLY KILLED!

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]When GORACK brings a GATHERER back to his TERRITORY, they basically free-roam the area and switch between various activities. The inspiration for this section was based on the CHAO GARDEN from Sonic Adventure 2. Just a chill space to see how your home turf is changing and growing with the addition of more ladies.

The number of gatherers is meant to reflect in cutscenes, I'm aiming for real-time cutscenes throughout, so if something is happening like you have a certain type of outfit on, or if you primarily choose gatherers from one specific tribe, those things should reflect in the cutscene.

For me it always added to the cognitive dissonance sometimes experienced in games, older ones mostly at this point, where you customize a character only to have them revert to "default" for movies. Trying to avoid that![/p]
