Welcome to the July Development Update!A week ago we put out a survey to gather feedback and see how the community felt about various parts of the game. To our surprise, we received a staggering 4,000 responses within the first 24 hours! You absolutely destroyed our measly target of 1,000.Looking over the results, community sentiment for the core game seems to greatly align with our internal plans and the direction we were already heading in. For the more hypothetical questions like what extra management features you’d like to see, the winners were also inline with what we expected - though it

Welcome, park managers!We’re excited to announce that Update 17 will be releasing June 25th, introducing eight new species for three iconic dinosaurs: Allosaurus, Stegosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus - but of course, that’s far from all. Prepare to fight with dynamic combat, brutal partner animations and explore new environments alongside overhauled management mechanics. This is another huge milestone update for the team and we couldn’t be more thrilled to continue expanding and improving upon combat up until we leave Early Access next year.

Welcome, Park Testers! This PTB release addresses the most critical instability issues introduced in the last PTB update. It also delivers a first tuning pass on animal aggression behavior, resulting in more natural encounters - animals should now be more selective when choosing targets and in determining how they respond to potential threats. In addition, we have improved combat animation smoothness and overall fidelity across the board. Animal hit reactions and staggers have been fixed and re-enabled, predator finisher animations have been introduced (only for Tyrannosaurus and Tarbosaurus a

Welcome, Park Testers! This PTB release introduces Animal Combat, an all-new emergent gameplay system that allows your animals to react more dynamically to their environment and to one another. While this feature is still a work in progress, we're eager to hear your feedback. In particular, we're looking for reports on animal responsiveness, aggression behaviors, and any unexpected interactions you encounter as we continue expanding combat mechanics, refining animations, and balancing behavior. We've also made significant strides in stability and optimization. Overall CPU and rendering perform

Welcome to the May Development Diary!As usual, it’s been all hands on deck as we continue to work on the different aspects of combat coming in U17. We’ve made some great strides this month with the addition of danger zones, throwable animals and improved locomotion which we’ll talk about in more detail shortly.For this update, we’ve had really big ideas for what could be accomplished (some of which haven’t been shown yet) and we’re proud of what we’ve been able to deliver so far considering the U17 time constraints and our team size (7 full-time devs, 5 part-time).
