Welcome to January’s development update!

This Devlog marks the beginning of our second year of hands-on development, following 2018’s year of pre-production and planning. It might seem like a long time, but we managed to accomplish a lot of great things during the past twelve months. 2020 is going to be filled with a lot of milestones for Prehistoric Kingdom, so the most exciting news is yet ahead, park builders!

Development Progress Over the past month, we’ve been searching for a potential candidate to join the programming team on Prehistoric Kingdom. Finalising a lengthy interview process, the newest team member will be joining us shortly to help develop additional gameplay systems.

Welcome to December’s development update!

Though the holiday season has now just passed there are quite a few goodies to discuss and showcase in this month’s DevLog! With a handful of artistic treats and programming gifts, the team's been hard at work spreading festive joy to all the good little critters of Prehistoric Kingdom in time for the new year.

Development Progress The team’s been up to a lot of great stuff during December whilst tackling the usual engine headaches. Apart from addressing issues with the modular grid, support for new materials has begun to work its way into the game thanks to Mau’s automated setup procedures and Nathan’s exceptional patience in texturing new pieces.

In terms of keeping the community up to date, we’re looking to overh... Read more

We currently have no plans to include prehistoric apes, hominids or monkeys as animals in Prehistoric Kingdom.

Animal Keepers by default will wander your park in search of work which can be good for small parks. If players want to keep them more sustained and happy at a constant rate, they can be assigned to a paddock to respond quicker.

Other personnel such as Maintenance Workers will wander around clearing rubbish bins and will respond to damaged fences and buildings.

Thank you very much for the reply. That's more than fine if the priority is management. Though I am glad to hear its still in the works and a part of the plan. I believe the full game is planned for approximately Q3 of 2019 or some...

Yes, we have recently pushed a Mac version of the demo to Steam.

It appears to have more issues than the Windows client, but it should work for the most part. Full release is expected to be better across the board.

Hi!

Unfortunately there won't be a mac version for the demo as we don't have any machines available to actively test it. However, the full game will have support for the platform!

No, Collision Course, or Project Crynosaur hasn't been in development for what I'd call "a very short amount of time"... in fact, I'm pretty sure they've been in development for longer than we've been. You might say their latest game iteration has been in development for a fraction of that, but then again, so has ours. Like our credits point out, our demo took around 1 year to make, completely unfunded. Either way, indie teams are different, different developers can come from different backgrounds, live under different circumstances, thus comparing unpaid workflows is never fair or accurate.

Other than that, yeah, we may not be the game for you if the park building is not what you enjoy in a park builder. Not to say we don't want our animals to feel more realistic eventually, as we fully express to expand on their AI, but that's simply not the focus right now, considering we've just released a first iteration on what is supposed to be a game with a huge scope.
