New map

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.

Dinosaur animation improvements

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

Improved dinosaur AI

Improved herd behavior by having dinosaurs interact with each other.

Reworked model: Spinosaurus

Spinosaurus is getting a new model with new skin textures.

New dinosaur skin types

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

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

Xanthochromistic

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.
