Hi there Rangers,
We want to say thank you for 200K wishlists! The team has been working really hard on making the game ready for the playtests coming soon.
But who is the team? We thought we would do a little intro to the devs so you can get to know them and see what they are working on!
The Very Safe Dino Park Team!
Anton - Technical Artist
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
I’m the guy that makes all the artistic stuff that can't be achieved with traditional 3D modelling and texturing. Everything from fluffy grass, to shiny pee stains that can be mopped up from the floor. I also dictate how the light interacts with all the models in the game, to achieve a coherent crispy look!
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
Playtestin fosho B) Ya’ll can look forward to that
Catherine - 3D Art Intern
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
I mostly make 3D props and implementations and sometimes do some concepts as well :)
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
I get to make all the food items in the game!! I love making 3D yummy food ( or occasionally yucky food)
David - Programmer
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
I make dinos.
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
I get to work on a game about dinos.
Ev - Programmer
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
A bit of everything really, but I’m mostly focused on players, guests, and physics. I also make sure that when you pick items up they look silly in your hands.
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
How much creative freedom everybody on the team has - this game has a bit of everyone in it.
Kash - 3D Rigger / Animator
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
I rig the awesome characters created by the art team and I try my best to create a unique personality when animating the different types of dinosaurs.
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
My favourite part about working on Very Safe Dino Park is the fact that I get to animate dinosaurs, I don't think it can get better than that.
Lary - Senior Generalist - 2D/3D Content
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
I'm usually busy hitting people with whatever item I can find during playtests and fixing them with a hammer, but apparently no one gets it...
Other than that, I'm a Senior Generalist, here to champion art production by working on both 2D and 3D content!
That can mean anything from creating props and character concepts to working in-engine and modeling dinosaurs.
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
The tone of the game being really fun and comedic brings a LOT of funny moments and it's really nice to find more ideas to make it even funnier.
We're a small team, so it's super quick to test things and iterate in-engine. Sometimes the best ideas come from the simplest situations.
Also, the baby T-Rex has become sentient and will soon take over the project because no one can say no to them anymore. Please send help.
Tom - Lead Designer
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
Howdy rangers! I set the vision for the game and guide the team towards it. That means I figure out what we need to make and what order to make it in.
I spend as much time as possible in the game testing, tweaking and giving feedback to the team on all of the different systems and mechanics.
During playtests I also throw dino poop at Lary to stop his rampages.
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
How quickly we’re able to build things. In bigger studios, the process for designing & building a key feature can be pretty long and involved.
As a small team, we can just have a chat about how we want something to work and jump right into making it.
PHOENIX! - Animation
What do you do on Very Safe Dino Park?
I'm helping bring the characters and dinosaurs to life with animation.
What has been your favourite bit working on the game so far?
Love working with a super talented and passionate team, and of course watching the chaos unfold in the internal playtests =]
