Howdy Ranchers,
We want to start by thanking you all for your support, patience, and enthusiasm for Paleo Pines while we've been working away to bring it to life. If you check in on our social channels regularly you'll know that we've been making great progress on the game’s development. We know we owe you an update on the highly-anticipated release date, and we WILL have an update on that soon...
We have some important news as 2021 draws to a close: Italic Pig and The Irregular Corporation are parting ways, which means we will be announcing a new publishing partner as soon as we are able. Irregular has been amazingly supportive throughout Paleo’s early development, Italic Pig’s company growth and these strange times of global lock-down. They’ve provided a generous balance of support, freedom, and experience whenever the project needed it, and we can’t thank them enough for getting Paleo Pines to where it is today.
What does this mean for Paleo Pines? For starters, we’ve already begun our search for a new publisher who will see this project through to the end. In its current state, Paleo Pines has received a great response from publishers we’ve approached, and the size and activity of our community (that’s you!) has a huge influence on opening those doors.
In the meantime, development continues! The design team have been honing more features, the artists and animators have been prepping colour, clothing, and collectibles, and the development team are amped up for what is sure to be an exciting run to the finish line. We have no doubt that Paleo Pines will find a comfortable and cozy new home in the not too distant future.
Of course, there’s still the big question on everyone’s mind: Where is the finish line? When will Paleo Pines be released?
Short answer: not in 2021. Despite the snippets of beauty we’ve been able to show you through social media, there’s still a long way to go to pull all the features together into a game-ready package for you to play. We’re sorry that this means you’ll have to wait a little longer to boop snoots yourselves, but trust us when we say that it’s definitely worth waiting for.
We promise to stay in touch over the coming weeks and months, and as soon as we’ve got something more to share, you’ll be the first to know. As always, be on the lookout for new developments, features, characters, regions, and of course, more dinosaur reveals!
In the meantime, we’ve got a long-awaited surprise for you… We’ve updated the Steam Page!
If you haven’t already, please add us to your Wishlist! Every wish helps Paleo Pines get bigger, better, and more bountiful.
Much love,
Italic Pig & the Paleo Pines Development Team
