Howdy there Parkasaurus Warriors! Turns out we should be arriving at Alpha3 this week, a bit behind schedule but not too bad. We also have evaluated the project and our roadmap and excited to provide a schedule update later this week.
Alpha Version 3 current milestone. This week!
Over the last week we have made a lot of progress with the game adding some of the required nuts and bolts that aren’t always the most exciting aspects of a game to show off, but definitely vital to shipping a successful Early Access. . This includes translations, menu screens, option screens, and simple UI improvements to making a smooth gaming experience. Although, we ALSO finished our first pass on one of the funniest parts of the game: dinosaur breakouts
Update 010 Topics
- Chaos
- Loading & Menu Screens
- UI Improvements
- Bonus : Exhibit Polish
Chaos
We had a fun time implementing dinosaur breakouts, and you’ll have a fun time trying to contain them. A lot of chaos happens when a dino breaks a hole in their exhibit. Some dinos are fairly chill and only want a hamburger, other dinos are less…chill, and have a taste for meat alright. Question is have you hired enough park rangers to contain? Enough engineers to fix the damage? We’ll see.
Loading & Menu Screens
Option menu, main menu, loading menu : done done and done. Menus can often take a long time to implement but luckily these were not too painful. Check out our little loading screen – we had a good suggestion from our Discord that the dinosaur running on the globe should be randomly chosen, I think we’ll try to implement that.
UI Improvements
UI improvements are interesting because often they are only noticed when missing! I’m sure though all the Parkasaurus players will notice every detail we put in though because they’re the best. An example of a recent UI improvement is the destruction confirmation tool – if you’re destroying an expensive item in your park we’ll be sure to check in with you. Also don’t worry, destroying you dino with a tool is not possible.
Bonus : Exhibit Polish
Even during all these new additions to the game we had time to do a little terrain polishing. Check it out. (this is a slightly older pic, things look even better now!)
