Extinction Developer Toolkit Update
So, this Tuesday happened to be the glorious 3 year anniversary of the Extinction Development Toolkit's... uh.. last update..
Unfortunately, it used to be very difficult to compile editor builds, so as a result we did them less often. The issue is that the difference in content between the editor and live game caused problems.
GOOD NEWS - We've taken care of the compile issue and today a new editor build will be live. In future, both the game and toolkit will receive updates at the same time.
Despite the pause in tool updates, the Primal community wasn't deterred. The team has been absolutely blown away by what you guys have created over the years. Some of what we've seen in the Workshop is even higher quality than what we're able to produce (although you'd never hear us say that out loud!).
But we want to see more. And we're dedicated to helping anyone willing to give it a shot. Going forward, one of our priorities will be to create more tutorials and prefab content to help speed up the creation process for everyone. If you weren't already aware, you can find the current developer wiki here.
If you have any questions or interest in showing off your work you can ping @Apoc and @dinosauriac in the #ExtinctionEditor section of our Discord. They'll answer. Or else!
Besides that, we're also looking into hosting a few community contests, with Workshop maps and skins being the most likely categories. If that interests you and you're thinking about diving in, don't wait until the last minute to start learning!
Map Stamps: How Are They?
We wanted to let everyone know that Map Stamps have been very popular! For those that aren't aware, each Community Workshop map we've implemented into the game comes with it's own Map Stamp. The creator of the map gets two thirds of all Stamp revenue, while those who purchase a stamp get a special item. Stamps provide a way to give something back to the creators for their hard work, similar to the system for Workshop skin authors.
We're always on the lookout for more candidates for the Map Stamp system, so if you have a concept you've been working on but haven't posted it...don't hesitate! We really do want to see it.
Extinction Store Feature - Turkey Week
With Spitter Week coming to a close, we now give attention to the long time fan favorite Turkey class with Turkey Week!
If it's an Oviraptor or a Novaraptor with feathers on it, this week we're calling it a Turkey. And for humans players- it's open season on these guys. Especially for any hunter looking to catch a new exciting type of Turkey:
An Oviraptor!? With quills? This genetic experiment is clearly the work of a genius or someone pure evil.
We have three hot Oviraptor skins, an Ovi bundle, and two Feathered Raptors for this week's featured lineup. Along with that we're also cycling out several items that have been in for a few weeks for some brand new ones. What new ones? Check out the store and see for yourself!
Winter Update
Stay tuned for more information on what we'll be planning in December.
In the meantime...
Happy Thanskgiving!
