You may have seen a lot of Deathground’s dinosaurs during development. Are you ready to see them brought to life?
Time for a showcase
Introducing the dinosaurs of Deathground. Please put your claws together and welcome to the soon-to-be bloody stage, the Compy, the Raptor, the Allosaurus and the T-Rex. These are the monstrous menaces that you'll be up against in Deathground! Turn up your volume and hit play.
Q: Do you have a favourite dinosaur? If you could give our Animator and Audio Designer any feedback, what would it be? Let us know in the comments!
We've been working on emphasising the dinosaur behaviour animations and audio, amongst the AI refinements, and wanted to show you how they’re looking. Especially, as we haven’t shown much of the Allo yet!
We know what you might be thinking, “It’s so bright, they’ll see me coming?!” While it might be daytime in this animation showcase, remember, it’ll be much darker in-game. Imagine hiding in the jungle, trying to stay out of sight while one of these creatures patrols past. How close would you dare yourself to get? Whilst you'll find plenty of jungle and exterior areas to explore, many areas of the map will be based inside and abandoned, forcing you to get face-to-face in tighter and sometimes labyrinth-feeling spaces.
Side note: Being Planet Earth fans, we set up a secret jungle cam to catch these predators roaming around. We weren't disappointed!
Until next time...
You might have noticed that we’ve been sharing a few snippets of gameplay on TikTok recently. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss a live stream of Deathground. There were just some encounters (at poor Joe’s expense) from in-house playtesting that we couldn’t resist sharing. If you fancy watching a Bottle Throw Fail or GET. IN. THE. VENT hysteria until the next update, be our guest! Sorry, Joe.
You can also join us and the rest of the community over on Discord. And don’t forget, you can find and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and X/Twitter too.
