Prehistoric Kingdom

[haughty rock]

No bro I don't make zoos either

[dusty merlin]

i personally enjoyed jwe2 for what it was mostly cause i could never get into those complex park builders

[broken herald]

Pk should have a site b mode

[dusty merlin]

brain too smooth for the extra customization

[broken herald]

Just let animals roam freely

But they don't do much besides walking for now

[haughty rock]

The animals don't even acknowledge each other's existence

[broken herald]

Idk if pk will even add hunting and fighting

[uneven flume]

Yeah, I think JWE2 was also made with the fact complex park builders aren't for everything

[broken herald]

They have added socialising iirc

[torpid sinew]

JWE 2 having a smidge of wild dinosaur action and then the rest of the gameplay being Chaos Theory mode and some Challenge Mode where you just build parks for profit again is a depressing mirror of how Dominion wound up throwing the protagonists into an isolated environment jam packed with dinosaurs when it started out with them in the actual wilderness

[haughty rock]

Not yet

And even still they have a lot to do

[dusty merlin]

pk looks to be a really good game and ill definitely check it out once its out of early access but i can already tell its going to be the kind of game i get overwhelmed by quickly

[uneven flume]

I recommend using prefabs, makes everything easier

[dusty merlin]

still its built to be used with those advanced building options

[haughty rock]

Yeah I just download stuff on the workshop and use that

[edgy fable]

Yeah that’s what I do, tried doing 100% custom but that gets overwhelming fast

[dusty merlin]

i like jwe2's simplicity more i think

[haughty rock]

I haven't built anything at all but there's tons of stuff to pick from

[torpid sinew]

I haven't bought PK yet because while I adore their reconstructions of the animals I'm also very aware it's not even close to done and I can't gauge the quality of a product based on aesthetics

[dusty merlin]

the issue with jwe2 for me is that they just dont offer enough options for that simpler kind of building

[broken herald]

I'm too lazy to deal with pk's piece by piece building xD

[dusty merlin]

like the fence variety is actually laughable

[uneven flume]

Fair, just wish they added more stuff like fence system but walls for guests

[dusty merlin]

so thats something i hope improves in jwe3

[uneven flume]

I can't be assed to place one hundred concrete barriers

[broken herald]

jwe and pk

[torpid sinew]

I never understood why Frontier got rid of non-electrified fences aside from concrete walls and the JP3 fence

[haughty rock]

This but the eiffel tower is missing a ton of pieces

[dusty merlin]

im gonna say something controversial but in some ways i do like the building constraints as a concept. i remember tweaking when playing pz trying to place a large prefab and the fucking terrain just never looked right and it made me want to kms

[broken herald]

PK terrain is at least not that fucky

the biome brush is amazing

[dusty merlin]

having the terrain auto flatten no matter what was nice because hey that whole problem is solved for me yippee

[torpid sinew]

If PK made building more accessible it'd be goated

[dusty merlin]

the biggest problem with those constraints is that they were a bit excessive

[torpid sinew]

I'd lose my patience placing down every single piece of a building

[broken herald]

pk and pz are basically the same building wise

[dusty merlin]

like mr john frontier im sure i couldve fit that lamp between those two buildings trust me on that

[torpid sinew]

I think the constraints aren't even the problem here it's just that Frontier gives every building the ugliest fucking "base" and it creates a ton of empty space between the buildings

[dusty merlin]

oh 100%

[torpid sinew]

Like the restaurant is on top of a large grey square. M'kay, makes sense.

[dusty merlin]

it got a little better with jwe2 cause you could add decorations and stuff to make it look less empty but still

[torpid sinew]

Except the square is wider than the restaurant, so when you place it down the constraints don't let you place anything on top of that empty space

[torpid sinew]

Honestly the amenities are like a two steps forward, one step back kinda deal for me

[dusty merlin]

agreed

[torpid sinew]

We can customize them but they also feel very basic

[dusty merlin]

i think that micromanagement was a bit too much for me as well

like those modules and stuff

it was a bit of a headache

[torpid sinew]

I still had fun with JWE 2 (except challenge mode fuck you)

[uneven flume]

PK is more free imo

[dusty merlin]

um actually they both cost money 🤓

[haughty rock]

I can build a hatchery under the map in PK

Like shit that doesn't even make sense

[broken herald]

the hatcheries are still those huge boxes

[uneven flume]

PZ has a lot of weird quirks while PK lets you do almost everything

[broken herald]

there's really no nice place to put down a hatchery

[uneven flume]

You can sink it in

[haughty rock]

Live PK footage:

[haughty rock]

In PK?

[uneven flume]

Iirc

[dusty merlin]

ill reinstall pk when they add mending pickaxes to the game

[uneven flume]

They should make like JP3 Park builder where you can control a paleontologist and mine

Literally doesn't do anything

Just looks cool

[torpid sinew]

I KNOW RIGHT?

[gloomy trail]

the way they nailed to give it such a PRESENCE

haven't felt that since PHP's Dreadnoughtus, thank you PK

[torpid sinew]

Brontosaurus being given some damn respect

[uneven flume]

Brontosaurus for JP when

Brontosaurus screams JP species too

[torpid sinew]

Well depending on who you ask it already is in JP 🤓

[uneven flume]

True! It appears in the movie

[worthy crown]

Allegedly

For a man who doesn’t like it, he sure loves to talk about it

[uneven flume]

She was an Apatosaurus Girl and he was a Brontosaurus Boy

[worthy crown]

He was too ankylo for her

[steel panther]

PK providing peak ankylosaurus!

After JW completely messed it up, it's nice to see someone depict the animal properly

[worthy crown]

PhP did

https://tenor.com/view/ankylosaurus-prehistoric-planet-dinosaur-dinosaurs-anodontosaurus-gif-27154640

[chrome raven]

PK did the green ankylosaur

[worthy crown]

That’s a green ankylosaur too

[chrome raven]

The green ankylosaur army

[mellow finch]

we like Anodontosaurus

[uneven flume]

@gloomy trail which sauropod should I make an habitat for

[worthy crown]

not me thinking it was euoplocephalus

[unborn oriole]

Well, that used to be the consensus

Ankylosaurins got more complicated

once we stopped tossing everything but Ankylosaurus into Euoplocephalus

[worthy crown]

I vote Camarasaurus

[uneven flume]

I did argent

Built a GIANT viewing area with shops inside

[worthy crown]

https://tenor.com/view/spong-funny-gif-24911245

[torpid sinew]

well it used to be called euoplocephalus lol

[worthy crown]

so technically I’m right, just not in the present

[torpid sinew]

Sort of

[obtuse osprey]

Liked the UI on it

unlocking the dino pictures was also neat

[unborn oriole]

Ah, the game that had 140 species and released for the GBA on a world before 9-11

[worthy crown]

A world entirely foreign to me

[unborn oriole]

Eh, was 10 days away from turning ten, and had grown up in 90's Spain; terrorism was already a familiar concept

[edgy fable]

What

[obtuse osprey]

huh

[chrome raven]

Wah

[mellow finch]

[worthy crown]

que

[uneven flume]

JP3 Park Builder to 9/11 is crazy

[edgy fable]

Actually now thinking about it, the chances of a pterosaur accidentally crashing into a sauropod or other bigger dinosaur is low but not zero, wonder if that’s ever happened

[mellow finch]

we do have evidence of a small pterosaur getting caught by a fish as it dived into the water

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/676608399055650858/1170485883871449178/IMG_7930.jpg?ex=66d58fad&is=66d43e2d&hm=91fc644c9b106a58011e180524b5b15189ec9a6791c97a20c59bf69e25f3d106&

specifically, Rhamphorhyncus getting caught by Aspidorhyncus

[edgy fable]

This in JWE3 when?

[chrome raven]

Never

[edgy fable]

[unborn oriole]

FWIW, flying and aquatic animals won't be in PK for years, so that's something JWE3 can attempt to improve on

Synapsids as well, c'mon Cotylorhynchus

[edgy fable]

Yeah true, I’ll give JWE3 that since if it genuinely does put in the work to improve them I genuinely think Flyers & Aquatics could be really good

[torpid sinew]

what if torosaurus as trike alt

[chrome raven]

Would be cool

The ALT pack Colombian Mammoth Torosaurs Griaffotitan and a few others

what a strange looking cat

[haughty rock]

It's cute

[edgy fable]

Alright time to troll the newbies in #jwe-legacy-discussion

[haughty rock]

I'm excited to see more of the subadult rex too

Seeing the skull shape change shape is gonna be interesting

I'm praying they give Tarbo the different skull shape and proportions as well. I heard they were gonna just give it a younger rex model but It would be cool if it could match bataar

[gloomy trail]

Hoping one of the babies in PK has bingus vibes

[dusty merlin]

omg a little wrinkly dinosaur baby.......

https://tenor.com/view/bingus-gif-18888188

[gloomy trail]

mom just passed by with Bingus on screen and called the man goofy for doing that to him

[chrome raven]

Goofy fella

[feral mortar]

iirc the rex baby is also gonna be the same for tarbo bc yknow both babies would look really similar tbh

[haughty rock]

Oh I meant the adult

[chrome raven]

De chunks your Tarbo

Last pic from Mau

Updated to have bigger eyes:

[edgy fable]

Kinda prefer the smaller eyes tbh, they look more natural

[haughty rock]

A little more true to life

[digital briar]

I'm sure they'll look more natural with time, they had just figured out how to enlarge the eyes when they did that

[dusty merlin]

they hit it with the chibi beam

[haughty rock]

Ah that's way better

[dusty merlin]

do you think if you squeezed it the eyes would pop out like hamsters

https://tenor.com/view/hamster-chunk-hamster-white-hamster-confused-hamster-confused-chunk-hamster-gif-11198606812152928927

[haughty rock]

Do you think if you handfed him every day, he would try to eat you as an adult?

[edgy fable]

Yes

[haughty rock]

😦

[edgy fable]

Lowkey feel like Ankylosaurs & sauropods would be the only dinosaurs to not try and gore you if you raised them as a baby

Dromeosaurs as well

[haughty rock]

I guess it all depends on their social intelligence

I T. rex had the demeanor of a crocodile, there's no shot at all

It would be chirping for you like you were it's parent as a hatchling, then eating the last piece of you not even a few years later

[gloomy trail]

idk I could easily we us raising smaller hadrosaurs and ceratopsians just fine

especially the tiny ceratopsians as almost pets

[edgy fable]

I mean don’t we got quite a bit of fossils showing they fucking bit each other. Even if if was chill with you I have no doubt it would one day accidentally take a chunk out of you when it’s trying to be friendly

[edgy fable]

Oh yeah I could totally see that, though idk why but hadrosaurs give me the vibe that they would be dicks. Like you can just be chilling and one decides to kick you for daring to be close to it

[haughty rock]

There's this one Alligator handler I follow on instagram. He spends his days bonding and training gators. Swimming with them, giving them little kisses on the nose and everything- their first instinct whenever he approaches them is to bite him

Like it's crazy dude

I can't imagine this but on an animal bigger than an elephant. There wouldn't be a love bite, just you being bissected

[edgy fable]

Oh absolutely, and I just know for a fact it would be a living nightmare whenever breeding season hits for a tyrannosaur. There’s no reason only biting

On the other side of the coin I can weirdly see Spinosaurs being sweethearts

[worthy crown]

me when I finally catch the baby rex

[edgy fable]

Oh my god wait just imagine baby Spinosaurs

[haughty rock]

I always imagined Spinosaurus to be like a big pelican. Mean af, perpetually seeing if things are edible or not. Being that big means you need a lot of calories, so they probably try to eat everything within reach.

I like the idea too that baby Spinosaurids look kind of ambiguous and their freakish jaws don't come into play until they're older

[edgy fable]

THATS A BABY SPINOSAUR?????😭

[haughty rock]

It's been argued in a paper that Scipionyx is potentially a baby spinosaurid yeah

[chrome raven]

Baby

[haughty rock]

It would be like

[edgy fable]

I can agree with that though I’d more so see them being like that in their teen/subadult stage of life, when they hit adult age I’d imagine they be chill

[tulip merlin]

@haughty rock it's your boys

Man they did a really great job with the body morphing

[edgy fable]

Genuinely has me hyped to see what they cook up for the other baby animals

Prototype is a bit much

The skins and textures are done for them

Also the Rex isn’t gonna change much

[edgy fable]

Wait so every baby model has been made or am I misunderstanding something?

No

Or at least if they have they didn’t say it

[torpid sinew]

Why not

[worthy crown]

I have no reason to not want it, I’m just saying no

[uncut edge]

we have only 2 of them lol

and 1 is close to be fully known appearance wise

[neat finch]

is it worth buying?

[feral mortar]

do you like building habitats?

[dusty merlin]

also are you fine with buying a game that is still in development

[neat finch]

yea played alot of planet zoo

[feral mortar]

go ahead then

[neat finch]

okay

which game is best jwe2 or prehistoric kingdom?'

[dusty merlin]

thats subjective

theyre very different despite being dinosaur zoo games

pk is more like planet zoo, it focuses on modular building and is a lot more detailed in that aspect. jwe2 is a lot more casual and simpler in a lot of ways

so it depends what you want to do

[neat finch]

okay ty

[feral mortar]

main thing that throws me off from JWE2 is movie cannon designs and paleoart tier designs mixing in together

so contrasting when you have Blue slop mixed with the Utahraptor

[dusty merlin]

utah's ugly cousin

[digital briar]

Apparently the devs posted some new Stegosaurus concept art recently

[obtuse osprey]

well they from the art book

[chrome raven]

Recently is months ago

[torpid sinew]

PeaK

[digital briar]

Oh, well I don't own the art book and they were posted by the devs so bleh

[feral mortar]

you should buy the artbook 🫵

[digital briar]

I can't, I don't have a computer to buy the game

[torpid sinew]

Who do you guys think could be the mini mammal for PK

[worthy crown]

a miniature mammal

which I'm pretty sure starts with r

[torpid sinew]

Repenomamus?

Most famous for being one of largest Mesozoic mammals discovered and being preserved hunting a Psittacosaurus

[worthy crown]

and what the hell is the semi-aquatic mammal?

[torpid sinew]

Ambulocetus probably

[unborn oriole]

They had been shown before the artbook releases fwiw

[unborn oriole]

In the roadmap it doesn't look to be that; horned armadillo is a plausible one

[torpid sinew]

there's a horned armadillo?

[unborn oriole]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peltephilus

[torpid sinew]

Well I'll be damned

[unborn oriole]

Horned armadillo and horned gopher were things

[torpid sinew]

And there's people who say the Cenozoic is "boring"

[unborn oriole]

All biota is beautiful

[worthy crown]

I’d say that the Cenozoic is rather eventful

[gloomy trail]

I feel PK finally clicked for me cuz it has been so enjoyable and satisfying to build this desert park

[uneven flume]

The PK desert is so much nicer than in JWE2

In Jwe2 its almost like a dead wasteland

[gloomy trail]

It's the whole vibe man
Building these exhibits that actually feel like habitats for guests to observe hits different

I'm getting the hang of the modular building too, building that cloth roofing was easy peasy, and it looks so neat

[torpid sinew]

So much PeaK

[obtuse osprey]

Gonna be easier when they add those nice new prefabs aswell

[unborn oriole]

Update can't come soon enough

PZ's as well

[torpid sinew]

I wonder what the third anky skin is

The first skin takes a Borealopelta-esque approach where the animal is colored in a way thought to help it blend in with the environment, ideal for avoiding conflict

The second skin not only pays homage to the WWD Ankylosaurus but the devs emphasize that the skin is like the animal being "loud" in a sense, completely unafraid to be spotted with ease because it's a walking tank that is not afraid of being easily spotted with its vivid yellows

[unborn oriole]

Buy the artbook, we have known since the end of February lol

[torpid sinew]

I also wonder if anky would get an alt genus like Euoplocephalus or Anodontosaurus

[chrome raven]

Unless it’s a secret nah

[torpid sinew]

yeah honestly I think it'd be better for anky/euoplo to be distinct animals and it's euoplo who gets an alt genus

Anodontosaurus for the PHP prestige tho, could be cool

[edgy fable]

Some people are just POOR Jimmie

No need to rub it in

One day maybe 🙏

$6 Is like a value mcdonalds meal. If you guys are actually that poor you need to get a lower internet package

[torpid sinew]

I don't have PK yet

It's labeled as DLC for the game

I'd need to buy an early access game my current computer can't even run and then buy the artbook on top of that just to see the third Ankylosaurus skin? No thanks

[unborn oriole]

Funding the devs perhaps?

[digital briar]

Me (except I don't even have a computer)

[feral mortar]

i need to comprehend still that people in 2024 dont have a pc

New grass being shown off in all of them

[torpid sinew]

loving the new fur on the mammals

[edgy fable]

Hopefully they show off the new feather/fur technology on Deinocheirus, my biggest gripe with it is that its hair looks way to spiky almost like it’s an urchin

[torpid sinew]

They haven’t shown off any feathered species yet and I think that’s on purpose

they’re probably still working on it

[chrome raven]

[torpid sinew]

I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere that the cave bear and megaloceros are coming in a future update together right?

[chrome raven]

Yes

[torpid sinew]

which update was it again

I’m pretty sure anky/apato are update… 11?

[chrome raven]

I have no idea

[digital briar]

14

[torpid sinew]

WE’RE IN U14??

[digital briar]

Next update will be 12 and 13 will have no new dinosaurs

[chrome raven]

No

[digital briar]

No that's the bear and deer update

[torpid sinew]

oh

[gloomy trail]

the bear/megalo is after this anky/apato/bronto one isn't it

[digital briar]

Galli will be 15

[torpid sinew]

no new dinosaurs in the sense of no new dinosaurs or no new species

[digital briar]

No new animals

Known timeline for animals:
Update 12:
Apatosaurus + Brontosaurus
Ankylosaurus
Update 14:
Megaloceros
Cave bear
Update 15:
Gallimimus

[gloomy trail]

13 is entirely gameplay focused it seems

[digital briar]

Iirc update 14 is just the mammal duo and rustic theme so they're looking to push them out fairly close to 13

[gloomy trail]

rustic theme is 12

[torpid sinew]

w-what

ANIMAL DEATH?

[torpid sinew]

damn 😔

to watch these beautiful creatures die

[gloomy trail]

what has my curiosity is update 16's 5 new species

[unborn oriole]

Those are the minis

[digital briar]

Oh, so just the mammals then

[unborn oriole]

Compy, Mononykus and a few more; horned armadillo seems likely

[gloomy trail]

oh?

[unborn oriole]

Bear and deer is intended to be a christmas update

Update 17 is Allo, Stego and Pachy, seems to be the combat one

Update 18 looks like Bary, Ambulocetus and Deinosuchus (and perhaps a 4th animal), seems water oriented

19 has Oviraptor and may be breeding

[gloomy trail]

holdup holdup
Deinosuchus?
Ambulocetus??

[unborn oriole]

And 20 is full release, complete with Utah, Carno, likely Edmontonia, Megatherium, Doericurus and Kelenken

That's what looks like from the teased roadmap with blurry names

[stoic raptor]

Kelenken!??!?!?!?!??!

[unborn oriole]

Yeah, Mau asked a few months ago which terror bird people liked and that one won

[obtuse osprey]

yep

we knew about an aquatic mammal being added for a while

[unborn oriole]

I don't have nearby the blurred roadmaps, do you?

[obtuse osprey]

and honestly a brig croc was gonna be eventually there

gonna be interesting to see how different the game is with better AI

[gloomy trail]

exciting to read the themes of those updates and see PK get more and more fleshed out

[torpid sinew]

horned armadillo could be fun

a fossorial critter

[unborn oriole]

Mau posted that

Those are likely, red names are confirmed

Also posted a few of stuff being pondered for post EA

[torpid sinew]

smh give Titanis some love

[unborn oriole]

Easier to read

[gloomy trail]

wonder what those orange and red boxes mean

[elfin cave]

I assume major features

[unborn oriole]

Those are dev features that were fully obscured

[unborn oriole]

FWIW, Galli and Compy

[uneven flume]

Goated roaster

[gloomy trail]

intrigued to see Galli fully

[uneven flume]

Ngl it's cool that PK is adding species that kinda fell off popularity wise

Like mastodon or brontosaurus

[stoic raptor]

So

Arctodus simus when

[digital briar]

He's right there in the post release ideas smh

[stoic raptor]

What if it was agriotherium

[unborn oriole]

Apparently it is great, but we shall see in not that long of a time

[edgy fable]

Not one Paleozoic fella, damn I see how it is

Not hating but damn some more love for the Paleozoic would be appreciated

[obtuse osprey]

prionosuchus would work well, although would need to be fully aquatic

[edgy fable]

Funny you mention that considering Prionosuchus was once considered to be added to the game

[obtuse osprey]

oh yeah long ago

[edgy fable]

Saurosuchus being here despite being a Triassic animal is really funny to me

[obtuse osprey]

Daaamn thats old

insane glow up

If Lythronax ever returns I hope it also get's an insane glowup, because what in the goofy ahh

Ok wait here's some better pictures because damn those are ass in quality

OMG THE BLORBUS

[dusty merlin]

the first pic is so goofy lmao

[edgy fable]

SO WHAT IF YOU CAN SEE, THE DARKEST SIDE OF ME

Ngl this Yangchuanosaurus design reminds me of Jurassic Fightclub for some reason

[chrome raven]

THATS YANG

[haughty rock]

It's a very conventional early 2010's reconstruction

[unborn oriole]

First Yuty and Alberto before going on weirdly named tyrannosaurs plz

Oh, and Concavenator if we are to get yet another allosaur

[edgy fable]

Oh wait Conca is an allosaur? I thought it was a Carchardontosaur unless I missed something

[dusty merlin]

every single abelisaurid NOW

[edgy fable]

Monkey paw, so now you only get a hybrid that is made up of every known abelisaur

[dusty merlin]

the actual ultimate life form

also wouldnt that just end up looking like a majunga basically

i feel like all the ones i know about are consistently sausage shaped

except carno but carno is a freak of nature

[unborn oriole]

Carcharodontosaurs are allosaurs?

The only clear cut member of Allosauria to not be a carcharodontosaur is Allosaurus itself (with Saurophaganax and Asfaltovenator being potential allosaurids)

[edgy fable]

OH I will admit I lowkey forgot about that fact, thanks for the reminder lmao

[unborn oriole]

Giganotosaurus is pretty much the allosaurest thing ever, heh

[gloomy trail]

he looks so embarrassed that's adorable

[worthy crown]

STOP BULLYING HIM HE'S NERVOUS

[uneven flume]

Even the new french one?

[worthy crown]

no

all french animals are to be scrapped

[proper stone]

The glow up on this game's art style is insane

Like, comparing the old concept art with the models, holy shit

[worthy crown]

the old models look like roblox

[torpid sinew]

Genuinely curious as to what it says here

[chrome raven]

It says ——————
—————-

[edgy fable]

GAT DAMN

[gloomy trail]

Nothing, none of them do

[worthy crown]

Sadly

[tulip merlin]

I think it says lorem ipsum

[elfin cave]

Yeah it is lorem ipsum

[unborn oriole]

Filler text in all of them, very low res

Anyway, gotta love the megatheropods in this game

[torpid sinew]

it’d be cool if they had actual info but I understand that there’s no easy way to do that as the roster grows and grows

[unborn oriole]

It would be a ton of work for nothing

[torpid sinew]

exactly

the sort of thing they’d need to have done from the beginning

[unborn oriole]

Why?

The paleopedia is now being written

Having it in the textures just because is... frankly unneeded work no matter what

The panels are already doing plenty of stuff with the maps and time, and also the newly implemented species differentiation

[torpid sinew]

I mean it like, if they’d given the info signs actual text, it’d have had to be from the get-go as doing them for 40+ species now would be absurd

[feral mortar]

their plan is to have paleopedia text in place of the iorem ipsums down the line

[chrome raven]

Some Mau screenshots from trailer park and new map

[digital briar]

Mau just showed a new image of Edmontosaurus annectons, left is the one currently in-game and right is the one Mau posted

[dusty merlin]

what are the changes?

oh i can see a different curve to the back

[uncut edge]

nah pretty sure its just due to the animation difference

but the eyebrowse seems stronger and the spikes become square instead of round at the top

[gloomy trail]

the tip of the spikes is now flat too instead of round

[torpid sinew]

I think the spinal ridge looks better flatter

[haughty rock]

It's better and it's based on the fossil record

[chrome raven]

Awwww

[chrome raven]

The baby ugu

[digital briar]

He a little guy

[torpid sinew]

what’s with the size dimorphism for regalis? wow

[unborn oriole]

That's the deal with hadrosaurs

(And that's why I find the "fix the hadrosaur sizes" deal so funny, dinosaur fans being so anal about what pretty much is "canon size" discussion with animals with a poor sample size, and better known relatives that show that intrapopulational variation was huge)

[feral mortar]

or people taking overscaled fragments and large individuals as the average norm for some hadrosaurs

[unborn oriole]

Fixation with numbers is not a great approach indeed

Not every Nile croc is Gustave, pretty much

[chrome raven]

New video of irl

Oh wait it’s PK

Compressed af blame discord

Imagine a arthoplura in it

[torpid sinew]

I wonder if the PK devs are gonna keep Saurophaganax as an alternate genus

[digital briar]

I don't see why they wouldn't

[feral mortar]

reminder this is an abstract, which means its an unreviewed publication and the burden of proof is upon the authors

don't try to push the abstract as fact when it isnt fully confirmed to be (since alot of SVP abstracts can get axed in peer review), and we aren't supposed to discuss the abstracts or share them around as per the booklet's rules

[obtuse osprey]

And well even in the abstract it mentions some material still belong to a very large theropod

but will see how it ages

[unborn oriole]

Limb and skull material have always been from a huge allosaur; the issue is that the noise about it being VERY large and distinct from Allosaurus was due to the vertebral material

So bigass Allosaurus remains on point

And I don't see the issue on "there were Allosaurus with thumb claws the size of a human forearm"

[proper stone]

Finally I can make the Montana map

[torpid sinew]

It just feels right to see trike, anky, and edmonto together

I hope we get more HC herbivores

We're obviously getting pachy, but with pachy those are the 'big four' and then the rest are often neglected. We could get Anzu, Ornithomimus, Leptoceratops, Denversaurus (Edmontonia alt?), maybe even Torosaurus if the devs were so inclined to give trike its very own alternate genus?

I would also love it if the devs would "un cut" Thescelosaurus, but... not gonna get my hopes up

[unborn oriole]

Thescelosaurus would be a great choice, but being a smaller ornithischian is suffering, because JPOG made an entire generation believe Dryo is enough

With Leaellynasaura being an exception because of WWD

And I still believe Leptoceratops working like Juxia as a 2x1 deal with Udanoceratops would be peak

[torpid sinew]

ironically, JPOG also featured Dryosaurus AND had Thescelosaurus cut from the game

[broken herald]

Thes has the rare achievement of being cut from 2 games

[torpid sinew]

I think JP and JPOG worked in unison to make people associate Dryosaurus and Gallimimus as the “standard small prey” herbivores

Right, small

[elfin cave]

no-one tell bro

[torpid sinew]

Can you guys imagine they give us a surprise third species like they did with Spinosaurus

Ankylosaurus
Apatosaurus (+Brontosaurus)
Cotylorhynchus

[worthy crown]

** DO NOT LEAK**

[unborn oriole]

Plenty of people are really hardwired to consider JPOG and ZT2 as the standard

Dryosaurus isn't even the smaller ornithopod in the Morrison, Nanosaurus is

And it even appeared in Ballad of Big Al as Othnielia

[torpid sinew]

not to 🤓 it up a bit but Nanosaurus isn't an ornithopod

[unborn oriole]

Oh sorry

It is one of those things that keeps jumping around

[worthy crown]

its a nanosaurid

you cant tell me im wrong

im not right either, of course

[unborn oriole]

Yeah, outside of cerapoda, like most of the old hypsilophodonts

Hypsilophodontidae being an actual ornithopod clade was a surprise earlier this year

[chrome raven]

Send him to the pit of the hybird wanters

[haughty rock]

While I get that the guy is spreading harmful misinformation, I'm not sure if I can fully get behind a dev coordinated witch hunt on individual users.

It's for something I agree with totally, but just a little offputting from an optics standpoint

[wary adder]

eeyikes! that’s a bit of an extreme!

I don’t think it’s really good press for a person with considerably more power in a community to tell people to attack someone else they said something bad

and while I get that the review is blatantly wrong

it’s still an abuse of power

[sterile nova]

downvoting a libelous steam review is not the same as a witch hunt

but yeah Im not asking people here to do anything

[haughty rock]

Yeah I understand this guy can cause harm with what is essentially libel, but pointing and directing your community at a person is a little "witch hunty" since you don't control your community. It can lead to harassment, and you could trace the source back to you

[sterile nova]

I dont think its that serious lol

The peakest peak early dinosaur roster is

Dilophosaurus, Coelophysis, Herrerasaurus, Plateosaurus

PK is three down, one to go

[obtuse cape]

next thing youll be telling me that update 13 is the last update until update 14

[torpid sinew]

Technically they could also toss in Heterodontosaurus for more tiny herbivores, Scelidosaurus is already in PK, and I guess a prosauropod aside from plate wouldn't hurt

Eoraptor and/or Massospondylus me thinks

I skimmed through sloths showcase at least one has it

[unborn oriole]

Yup, and so does Plateo

[torpid sinew]

[elfin cave]

Guys the trello just got updated and I got bad and good news

The bad news is the ai update u13 had got delayed

The good news is: cave bear bros

[chrome raven]

Ty ty

[worthy crown]

they do

[torpid sinew]

I find it funny to consider how all of PK's sauropods are alphabetically listed one after another

[feral mortar]

where is plateosaurus?

[torpid sinew]

All the way down

It's not a sauropod technically 🤓

[uneven flume]

Saurophaganax was in concept arts right

[torpid sinew]

...yeah?

[uneven flume]

Nice, we're getting another sauropod

[marsh ingot]

Pfft

[junior mist]

Basically their ancestors

[worthy crown]

im pretty sure we're getting diplodocus too

[junior mist]

i would pay for that to happen ngl-

[worthy crown]

its for post EA, so its quite a way's away, but we gettin it

[junior mist]

like the absolute ABUNDANCE of sauropods,im hoping we get some more

im hoping for stego fr fr

[worthy crown]

i'm noticing a distrubing lack of megaraptors

[unborn oriole]

Yeah, that's what we say about the fossil record

The one idea for megaraptorans is using ontogeny to represent 3 of them or so with alts; say, Australovenator, Megaraptor and Maip; as pretty much we have around half a skeleton if we put together all of the megaraptoran material we have across the entire cretaceous

Stego is confirmed, concept art is public, but it will be after a few updates

Looks like update 17, alongside the 4 Allos and Pachycephalo

Beforehand we have bear and deer christmas, the big AI and hatchery update, the even larger ontogeny and paleobotany update (feat Gallimimus), and the mini revamp

[chrome raven]

Wait is Pachy confirmed

[unborn oriole]

Pretty much; only fitting name

[chrome raven]

Hmm

[junior mist]

hollup,did i just see the name kelenken on the update 20 thing-

[unborn oriole]

Yes

Mau asked on the server "which is your fave terror bird" and that one won

[simple basin]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-meme-surprise-shock-gif-21311476

[torpid sinew]

ngl I think Australovenator is enough, maybe Maip for the future

[simple basin]

Megatherium, Megaloceros, Kelenken, Doedicurus…

i can build my dream cenozoic park

Paraceratherium was just the beginning

tho i do hope they add dire wolves

[torpid sinew]

I personally believe that proper representation of dinosaur groups ought to be proportional to how big their group is

[simple basin]

i wanna do a wolf enclosure so badly

[chrome raven]

Well next update is gonna make you happy

[torpid sinew]

Adding three megaraptorans in one go could be interesting but it’d also effectively maximize the roster

But there could be better tyrannosauroids to work on, like Yutyrannus or Dryptosaurus

[unborn oriole]

Megaraptorids have twice as much presence than Tyrannosaurids

Dryptosaurus is also on a worse shape than megaraptorans

There is a reason behind the leaping Laelaps piece having them talons

the hand claws were restored as feet claws due to how scrappy the animal is beyond a leg

We also have 3 Camarasaurus and are going to have 4 allosaurs

Getting widespread megaraptoran rep, as it is a group that lasted for over 40 million years across Gondwana, is proper rep

[simple basin]

yeah ik

[chrome raven]

It also shows the shear number of sauropods we have

[unborn oriole]

And a single titanosaur lol

[chrome raven]

Tbh we shouldn’t get more sauropods until DLCs

[unborn oriole]

Never beating the ceratopsid favoritism allegations bwahaha

Sauropods are hefty work by the looks of it, doesn't look like there is any left for EA tho

We have bear, deer and whalotter in the mammal cathegory, then 4 theropods and stego for dinosaurs, giant caimagator, and the mini rework

Full release appears to come with 3 theropods (incluiding a cenozoic one), big sloth, the mythical armado, and perhaps panoplosaur galore

[chrome raven]

Nah we good on ceratopsians as well

Ankys family is legitimately only 2 members with stego incoming would rather have a few others in these spots instead of sauropods or ceratopsians

[unborn oriole]

That's why I find Edmontonia a good pick

Ceratopsids, I'm convinced Pentaceratops would have worked better than Nasutoceratops, and that it would make a fine addition post release; just like Leptoceratopsids, specially if they Juxia up a Lepto/Udano combo

Ceratopsids are, in any case, a FAR less diverse and widespread group than sauropods

[feral mortar]

idm nasuto, its a good cattle proxy for a park tbh

penta to me is a bison or gaur vibe animal

[unborn oriole]

But that's what actual cattle are for

[torpid sinew]

They could still add some ceratopsids

Chasmosaurus with a Kosmoceratops alt

[chrome raven]

After EA yeah

We got Nasuto 3 Pachyrhino species 2 Trike species and Styaco

That might be more then sauropod

[torpid sinew]

counting species is a bit finnicky imo

Sometimes the game makes a distinction, sometimes it doesn’t

[tulip merlin]

Sometimes?

What doesn't it make a distinction on?

[torpid sinew]

whether it acknowledges different species under the same genus

AFAIK one of the only times is the lions

[tulip merlin]

All 3 camaras are separate

As are the pachyrhinos

As are the torvos, and paras, and trikes, and psittacos

[torpid sinew]

oh, was it recently changed?

[tulip merlin]

I think around the time the lions were released

[obtuse osprey]

yeah plenty are separated like that

[chrome raven]

Yes

[torpid sinew]

oh, that’s neat

[chrome raven]

Check the website

[torpid sinew]

I honestly think embracing different species could be expanded upon

We could get Apatosaurus louisae

Maybe the Columbian mammoth since it shares a genus with the woolly mammoth

[obtuse osprey]

aint it one of the possible blurred out names?

[chrome raven]

Maybe

[worthy crown]

God I hope Coty actually comes

[junior mist]

tenonto my goat

[worthy crown]

My favorite dinosaur is already planned

I think post EA?

[unborn oriole]

Campto, Hypsi, Tenonto and Thescelo coming back from hell to freshen up hoofstock

Penta is my most wanted Ceratopsid ttbt

Lepto+Udano in a Juxia arrangement would rock too

A troodontine in Dinosaur Park, Prince Creek and Djadochta flavours would rock hard

Both Saurolophus species

Of course Alberto+Gorgo

[torpid sinew]

Stenonychosaurus with a Saurornithoides alt?

Or Saurornithoides with a Stenonychosaurus alt?

[unborn oriole]

Does it matter?

[torpid sinew]

Not really

Sauror should be the alt imo

[unborn oriole]

Fair enough

[torpid sinew]

Stenonychosaurus was the poster child until Currie

[unborn oriole]

And Saurornithoides the family namesake

[torpid sinew]

By pure virtue of that it ought to be the 'main' one with multiple skins

A skin that could be themed around the colder Alaskan troodontid

[unborn oriole]

Hence the Prince Creek flavor mentioned

[uneven flume]

https://tenor.com/view/linkin-park-in-the-end-linkin-park-in-the-end-music-chester-bennington-gif-26242393

[torpid sinew]

Yeah

[unborn oriole]

Forest, tundra and desert makes for quite distinct coat patterns ttbt

[torpid sinew]

Speaking of troodontids

It'd be neat for the mini-aviary to get Jinfengopteryx

I have a feeling the PK devs could get a lot of mileage out of the skins for an animal named as the 'golden phoenix feather'

[unborn oriole]

Or just "golden pheasant feather"; my father is raising those and they are downright troodontesque

Living jinfengopterygine I swear

[torpid sinew]

Holy crap

That looks way more like a Jinfengopteryx than I anticipated

[junior mist]

didn´t stenonychus like invalidate both latenivenatrix and troodon or-

honestly i forgor

[digital briar]

Yes

Stenonychosaurus was the one with good material, then it got dumped into Troodon in the 80s even though Troodon was basically just an undiagnostic tooth, but it got revived in 2017 when people looked at that history and went "Wait, that doesn't make any sense" and Lateni was created out of some of the material that either was originally Stenonychosaurus or was added to Troodon afterward the lump, I forget which

Now there's an abstract that's pushing for Lateni to get lumped back into Stenon again

[unborn oriole]

Lateni is now back into Stenonycho

And all those moves were done by Currie

Doing those Coursera courses a decade ago were worth the reaction image of Currie giving the finger

[torpid sinew]

I wonder what would be perfect troodontid rep aside from Stenonychosaurus with Saurornithoides alt and a skin for the Prince Creek reference

[unborn oriole]

Those, plus Jinfengopteryx or so

Troodonts aren't known to be as diverse as dromaeosaurs thus far

[torpid sinew]

Yeah that honestly seems about right

I wonder if the mini-aviary will ever get more animals

Jinfengopteryx would be pretty cool, as would be an anurognathid. Jeholopterus perhaps

[unborn oriole]

Ah, the pterosaur DLC

[torpid sinew]

Jeholornis maybe. I can understand if the PK devs would be reluctant to add a pterosaur mini since it'd create the expectation to have larger pterosaurs

[unborn oriole]

Will be glorious

Jeholornis works wonderfully

[torpid sinew]

Would be funny to get Rhamphorhynchus and Dearc in a 2 for the price of 1 but inverted where the bigger one is the alternate genus

[unborn oriole]

Confuciusornis, Sapeornis, and even Avisaurus work really well

[torpid sinew]

-Pteranodon (longiceps/sternbergi)
-Rhamphorhynchus +Dearc
-Nyctosaurus
-Tropeognathus

coastal pterosaur DLC

[junior mist]

where´s my man Tapejara and Tupandactylus

[torpid sinew]

Patience

-Thalassodromeus
-Quetzalcoatlus (northropi/lawsoni) +Hatzegopteryx
-Tupandactylus (imperator/navigans)
-Pterodaustro

And then the pterosaurs whose lifestyle and/or size makes them more suitable for the mini-aviary;

-Pterodactylus
-Dimorphodon
-Anurognathus or Jeholopterus

I guess Tapejara as an alt for Tupandactylus could work, though I didn't want to suggest too many alternate genera as to not bloat the roster

[torpid sinew]

The more I think about it the more I realize a proper Pentaceratops would go great in PK

[chrome raven]

Please give one Penta skin a dewlap I don’t care if it’s not accurate it’s badass

[digital briar]

Give it this

[chrome raven]

Yes

[dusty merlin]

i think every dinosaur game needs pentaceratops

[unborn oriole]

Pentaceratops is great

Trike ancestor but with noticeable differences

Poor Chasmosaurus lineage tho

But yeah

[dusty merlin]

fucked up horse

[chrome raven]

Have someone brought up that Mau has confirmed we are getting a small dev diary

I’m gonna guess we are getting deer tease or showcase

Or bear showcase one of the two

[unborn oriole]

Pretty similar to the June one he said

Going over the update contents

And perhaps something on stuff to come

Hoping for bear render ngl

And perhaps more of Galli's concept art, or deer concept art

[chrome raven]

Would be nice

[marsh ingot]

Can’t wait for deer

[simple basin]

deer vs Tyrannosaurus Rex

[worthy crown]

Deer wins

[chrome raven]

Deer wins because of superior speed

[simple basin]

deer wins because it has the power to attract trucks made out of titanium to crash into it, so it jumps infront of a T. Rex and let’s a huge truck take it down
