Blue Meridian

Welcome, Park Testers!

This PTB release improves guest pathfinding and game stability with various crash fixes for what could be experienced in Update 9.

You should see guests making better use of their walkable space, especially when encountering multiple chokepoints throughout the park. Previously, they would almost exclusively form a single chokepoint. We have ideas on how to further improve guest pathfinding which will be implemented early next year.

Please send feedback and bug reports to our ... Read more

Welcome, Park Managers!

Update 8 is now available to all players! This update brings a huge amount of important changes to the game, including completely rewritten animal locomotion and AI, as well as a brand new species. The team has also addressed a number of technical issues, bugs and stability fixes that we hope will improve the experience for players.

This has been a massive undertaking and while there are still improvements and polish to be made to the animals, we cannot understate how important this process has been for the future of the game. As the team works towards future updates, we have even more optimizations coming that will further polish what has been introduced in Update 8.
