Happy New Year Parkasaurus Warriors!
2018 is going to be exciting; it is the year Parkasaurus emerges onto the world with your help! From both MT and me, we hope you have a safe, happy and fun in 2018. Now, let me get down to business.
Alpha Version 2
Overall we’re on track for hitting our Alpha2 milestone. The main tasks at this point are elevating the awesomeness of our current features from about 70% to 90%, and then having a real thorough analysis of what happens when Dinos escape. (if you have any ideas feel free shout them out). We have so many cool features to put into Parkasaurus after we reach Alpha2 and are excited to talk about them later.

Dino Wear-ables
You might ask yourself – is this the most important aspect of Parkasaurus we should be working on? And the answer is a definite YES! We had earlier developed the Dinos to wear glasses, but now we’ve properly expanded it so you can place glasses/hats/scarfs on your Dinos. In fact, some wear-ables for your Dinos provide special abilities and buffs. Dino buffs? You betcha! In the pictures you can see some Santa hats and how you place wear-ables on your Dinos.
Dynamic Biomes
Dynamic biomes is a feature we’ve been hoping to make for a long time. In Parkasaurus crafting your exhibit to be the perfect biome for your Dino friend requires you to be the ultimate zoo designer. By changing either water or elevation your exhibit is shifted into different biomes. Does your Dino require a Grasslands exhibit? If you checkout the picture one can see how changing terrain heights and adding humidity can push the biome from Desert into Grasslands. There are so many possibilities!
Dino Workflow
(I had a neato animated gif to show you, but Steam isn’t letting me upload it. SAD. A still image will have to suffice for now)
This is really exciting. Basically the Dino Workflow is how we take a Dino from concept – to being your future Dino friend in game. The system MT and I have made is efficient and produces solid results. This is important; we want to make as many cool and different Dinos for your park so being able to do this quickly is key. Maybe it is a bit of a spoiler but here is an “in process” TRex walk animation cycle.
