Prehistoric Hunt News

Greetings dinosaur hunters!

This week we will introduce yet another dinosaur species added into the game: Brachiosaurus.



Brachiosaurus is by far the largest inhabitant of the game’s dinosaur island (so far…). It stands roughly 10 meters tall and can be spotted far away because of its long neck. Brachiosaurus are calm dinosaurs but can be very dangerous if irritated. You don’t want to end up under its feet as its massive weight will kill you instantly.




This week we have been working on group behaviour for dinosaurs. This allows the dinosaurs to move and work as a group instead of them always acting individually. This makes dinos like Compsognathus much more intimidating as one can be taken down easily, but a pack of them will provide a bigger challenge.




The game’s terrain got a facelift and other improvements. The terrain now includes big rocks. Vegetation was improved to give a more lively feeling. Trees have been positioned better. Terrain overall was changed to provide fewer places for players and dinosaurs to get stuck and to have all visible locations visitable.




Special locations can now be found and added to your map. They allow you to discover more about the island and they work as landmarks for navigation.



Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on the game.

This week we will introduce yet another dinosaur species added into the game: Compsognathus.



Compsognathus is a small dinosaur that might seem harmless but can prove the opposite. You might encounter only a single Compsognathus but there's a chance there are more lurking near. You might get into trouble if they all come for you.



Compsognathus are quick and it's hard to get a good aim at them. You'll most likely need a fast firing weapon to deal with them.




The game now features an inventory. Currently you can use the inventory to store your guns, bags and ammo. You can also pick more guns and ammo from the ground into your inventory. We will add more items like health items, range finder and attractants. Expect to hear more of them in coming releases.

In this weeks blog, we will take a look at a new dinosaur type added to Prehistoric Hunt. Now the game has flying dinosaurs too. The first flying dinosaur is a Pteranodon. While a Pteranodon usually only weights as much as an average human, it is a predator that watches you from the skies and is ready to come for you.



Hunting Pteranodons will be difficult as they glide through the skies making it hard to estimate your relative position. You have a better change of hitting it while it's charging you or when it's on the ground.





Pteranodons like to nest on higher ground and to watch over their territory on mountains.

In this first blog, we want to show you something we have been working on after the summer game demo and what you will be seeing the next version of the game.





We have been working on a new larger game world since the release of the demo. The new game world shown on the left is now 4 times larger than the old game world that was in the summer demo version of the game. The new game world allows us to have more species on the island, as we have more space for dinosaurs. The dinosaurs will have some territories on the island, so they wont be placed randomly everywhere. We have also been doing many visual upgrades to the world, to improve the experience and to bring variety to the world. The new map also allows us to create more special locations in the world for hunters to explore. A radio tower and a lighthouse were already in the demo, but we will be adding many more locations to the new world.







Other big feature we have been working on is the multiplayer. Hunting with friends is more fun. We have integrated Steam features to the game that allow you to invite and join your friends game directly through Steam. We have also been optimizing the server load, so the host can smartly distribute data to other players without causing too much load. This allows the world to have many dinosaurs roaming around. Multiplayer also required updates the 3rd person character that is seen by other players, as the animations were very bare bones in the demo.





We have also been working on some smaller features like the in-game map:



The map currently allows you to see the position of yourself and other players in the world. We will be adding functionality for placing markers that allow you to more easily navigate to different locations. Special locations will also displayed on the map once they are discovered.

Thank you for reading and we look forward to hearing what are your thoughts on the features shown.
