[2022] Berrubbersaurus rex

over 2 years ago - /u/Jagex_Stu - Direct link

Earlier today, a player asked if they might be able to get the berrysaurus/branasaurus/beanasaurus/rootlesaurus featured in today's update as pets.

The main obstacle is baby tyrannosaurs were only intended to wander in a PoF paddock, so have the bare minimum of animations (1 walk, 1 idle).

Following a player suggestion, I tried using the run animation from T-Bone (a skeletal pet variant of the baby tyrannosaur rig). Alas, it's not quite fit for this purpose.

Nonetheless, I thought you might enjoy basking in the Salvador Dali flesh-melting horror of it all.

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.

Thanks to a new handy tool, here's a visualization:

Oooh, that's a very cool tool! Thanks for sharing. :)

Is that putting the cache assets through an industry-standard tool like Maya, or a bespoke anim viewer?

This reminds me of the opening to The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Makes me wonder if someone could place a family of innocent NPCs enjoying lunch on a beach somewhere...

This reminds me of when the dog/Bartok gets turned inside out during The Fly II (spoilers - for a movie that's 33 years old).

But granted my video tape was pretty stretched from repeat viewing.

Ok, now you just need to turn this whole experience into a quest!
Player: "Why can't I take one of these as a pet?"
Granny: "...You don't want to know"
Player: steals like 10 of them "I'll sell these as unobtainable pets...I'm gonna be rich!"
Cue cutscene loosely based on the above screenshot of them running amok and damaging your pof

Ship it.

Davendale, currently the tutorial primer for accounts created on mobile. Here's a pre-release Stutorial slideshow if you're morbidly curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0RqHwN05Hk&t=1280s

Huh! Weird. It works for me on multiple (non-JMod) accounts.

Is this where one of the background images that shows up on the mobile login screen is from??? I've always wondered where that screenshot was from. Crazy to think there's been a brand new tutorial for mobile users in the game for like a year and I didn't even know it existed lol. Comped btw xD

Precisely. That Davendale. :)

And then they suddenly turn adult and we get a dinosaur quest named "Anachronia Park" where we try desperately to lure 10 dinosaurs from the mainland back to Anachronia.

Using a cattle prod.

While it is sad news, it is great to actually see why something didn't work out.

Is that a new town for a future update, or the Seer's Village update that was partially completed?

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, that's the village square of Davendale, the mobile tutorial we developed and released last year. :)

Seers' Village rework didn't get very far beyond concepting and placeholder mapping before the environment artist working on it was reallocated, as far as I'm aware? (Might've been to mapping the Lost Grove / Solak? But don't quote me on that - it was years ago.)

They do nowadays, so they keep up with the player, who usually runs. Otherwise you get a lot of teleporting.
