We have been creating special locations for the new map. Here are some new views of them:










Another big sauropod will join the species on the new island: Diplodocus. The model is currently in progress.






New textures for Pteranodon are being created.





Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Greetings dinosaur hunters!

We are working on Sinornithosaurus AI to make it climb trees and glide. Environment updates are in progress, and we update both the new and old maps. Thank you for your support!

Get a grasp on the coming improvements from this development highlights video!

Sinornithosaurus behavior is being worked on. They are now able to climb trees and sit on branches high up. They can initiate a glide from the branches and either glide to another tree or land on the ground.






We are continuing to work on the new biomes for the new map.








We are improving our tree assets to look better. This includes improving how trees look from far away as we want a more consistent look to them.


As we improve our environment creation capabilities, we will also improve the old official map. We’ve already reworked textures and improved a lot of different environment assets that are used on the map.






We are going through a big task where we optimize our environment assets. Our aim is to get the game to run better and to host a more complex environment with good performance.

Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Greeting dinosaur hunters!

The next big update is getting closer. Check out views from our new map and the reworked Spinosaurus! New skin types will also be coming!

The new map is shaping up. We are currently creating unique fauna for it and developing the map system to host more complex environment. A new set of story notes is being created to give background story for the island.








Dinosaurs movement is being improved to be more natural. Dinosaurs will have more dynamic movement.


Improved herd behavior by having dinosaurs interact with each other.


Spinosaurus is getting a new model with new skin textures.




We are working on two new skin types: Erythristic and Xanthochromistic. These skins will come to all species. These skins most likely won’t make it to the next update but we will release them as soon as we have all species completed.

Erythristic skins will have abnormal redness and their spawn rate will be very rare.





[h2]Xanthochromistic[/h2]
Xanthochromistic skins on the other hand have overproduction of yellow pigment and suppression of red. We are planning to make this skin type even rarer than the albino.





Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

We are building unique special locations for the new island. Here are WIP glimpses of new locations.










We have updated the game engine version, making newer and more advanced techniques available to us like ray tracing. Newer engine also gives us better support for consoles, so we are more ready for porting the game. We are seeking to improve the graphical quality further and taking also performance into account.


Brachiosaurus is getting a new model with new skin textures.






We are improving how dinosaurs react to gunshots and when spotting the player so that the reactions feel more natural. We have created a new system for head movements so we can move the head more naturally and more precisely so dinosaurs can be more expressive when, for example, reacting to players sounds and movement.


Dilophosaurus will join the species on the new island. The model is being worked on.




We have been working with new sounds to the game. You can check a small glimpse of the new sounds in the video. The player movement sounds are now quieter, some dinosaur sounds have been improved and the ambience has a lot more variance and dynamic elements. The basic ambience is also a lot quieter so that you can pick better any dinosaur calls. Dinosaur footstep sounds are being refactored too.

Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Greetings dinosaur hunters!

We are working on fast travel call and numerous new species like Allosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus. Check out our dev highlights video to get a grasp on what’s coming!

We are creating a way to call helicopter pick up to transfer player quickly to any special location. Our plan is that you wait a small while once the call is made and will need to be in a secure area (not chased by dinos). The pickup would be made with a new radiophone item.




Allosaurus, a large bipedal predator species, is being added to the game.




The crocodile-like Sarcosuchus is worked on. It’ll live both on land and water!




Large pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus is being developed.




Therizinosaurus is another addition, and the model is being built. It’s recognizable from its huge arms with the large claws.




All the new species we’ve introduced are being worked on and will make their first appearance on the new official map. After that they will be available for custom maps too. Current list of new species that are worked on are:

• Stegosaurus
  
• Parasaurolophus
  
• Sinornithosaurus
  
• Quetzalcoatlus
  
• Allosaurus
  
• Sarcosuchus
  
• Therizinosaurus
