The next chapter of Dino Nest is now released! All elder apex creatures can now be hunted for a reward. We also added a new secret area to the world and a new playable mysterious species. To unlock the new exciting things just play to progress. Enjoy!
New features in Chapter III
- Hunt rewards for killing elder apex creatures
- New secret area added to the game
- New playable species added to the game
This is our biggest update so far with major features including a "game ending suprise", heavy rework of the world generation, hundreds of tweaks and fixes and improved saving systems. Savefiles from previous versions are compatible but all elder creatures will be reset for the "hunt reward" progression.
We also have special good news regarding that we finally found a fix for that wierd ancient bug where herbivores sometimes act like carnivores and starts hunting for meat. This bug has been causing issues with the game world for some time. Maybe you have been hunted by a very hungry crazy Dodo that thinks it has big teeth and wants meat. In that case your nightmare is now over and you can be happy. All herbivores should now act like prey and not predators.
