Mau posted the wing of one of the three skins for Utahraptor, he's stated that PK's Carnotaurus will have far better mating displays than PHP's Carnotaurus, straight-up randomly said one day we're getting Baryonyx, and once held a poll to determine the most popular terror bird (Kelenken won)

Update 20 is seemingly exactly the same as it was back then, what happened was all the alts got turned into their own entries on the Trello (so for update 17 the four carnivores are all Allosaurus and both the herbivores would be both Stegosaurus) while update 19 got combined into update 15 since it had breeding and Oviraptor

I can see them either saving them for a dlc or for update 19 since that's meant to be the last big update before the game is officially out of early access

they did say more fan favorite vivs will come in full release
and Mau said on reddit some carboniferous creatures will come to the game though that could have been talking about Diplocalus despite the species in game being permian. Though Mau was talking to some one refering to the bugs.
btw DinoSteve is Mau for those who don’t know
since there is 2 insect slots and the extra herbi slots and you know how many fans want to make the Prehistoric Park Bug House and the statues I could 100% see them being the fan favorites

https://www.prehistorickingdom.com/news/diary42 There is more details at the end of the November diary (and we are likely to get more details about stuff to expect this year in a few days)
And, well, the Allosaurus species were all shown in the artbook released in early 2024
jimmadseni is also public
floral basin
also is it just my jwe3 copium transfering to a diffrent game or could this mayhaps mean crocodiles?
wetlands
unborn oriole
One of those is Baryonyx, which has been confirmed for ages but remains unshown
A semiaquatic mammal is also confirmed
Going by the blurry roadmap tease of August 2024, the semiaquatic mammal is likely to be Ambulocetus
(and the other animal would be Deinosuchus)
Just like the combat update is likely, going by the same tease, to come with 2 Pachycephalosaurus species

i found that one out like a month ago
floral basin

i mean id kinda prefer that yes
unborn oriole
Heh, this is useful for this ttbt
The issue is, at the end of the day, they are functionally separate animals, and mixing species won't address social needs or breeding
Having them together may lead to confusion
Earlier on it wasn't as noticeable, but as EA is underway and complexity increases, it is better to have them separate just in case
floral basin
The issue is, at the end of the day, they are functionally separate animals, and...
even for the fact i didnt know theyre THIS far seperate species i still dont think there would be many people stupid enough to to put prorsus and horridus together thinking theyll breed
tho irl i feel like that absolutely would be the case
insert liger or whatever its named
unborn oriole
Hybridation is incredibly common in reality, and Triceratops as a genus is messy, belongs to a highly variable clade, covers a few million years across a hefty land area...
floral basin
so you dont believe in horrsus? yes i gave it a name
unborn oriole
FWIW, the animals to lowkey expect going by the teaser would be, going by the best bet by the community:
U17: Allo (4 species), Stego (2 species), Pachycephalosaurus (2 species)
U18: Baryonyx, Ambulocetus, Deinosuchus
U19: Utahraptor, Carnotaurus, Kelenken, Megatherium, Doericurus, Edmontonia (perhaps up to 3 species), a few vivariums.
Bary and Utah are confirmed to be coming, Carnotaurus is heavily implied
floral basin
ooo right we dont even have abelisaurids yet..
utah is gonna be actually so peak i guarantee that
also does this mean 2027 is PK releasing as full game?
if this year its U17 and U18
since they said two updates
unborn oriole
Yep, 2027 is the goal; U17 may be taking up until June, but I understand the January diary will give us an estimate of what to expect this year

and for me cuz i came back to pk after not touching it for like two or more years cuz the game was SO FUCKING LAGGY

And hey, that's fine
Even if everything had been figured out, how it is implemented, or stuff like the expanded vivarium roster, was fire anyway
Baryonyx was known to be coming to the game before even Spinosaurus made it, and still we will be hyped for it this entire year anyway

The revealed Baryonyx skin according to one of the devs
It IS the spiky Baryonyx skin
Its implied that it might have 4 skins
I say implied, given how popular it is
digital briar
As in it's implied just because it's popular or one of the devs implied it?
Because if it's the former there are far more popular animals in the game with only 3 skins

Interesting, based on the blurred roadmap I wonder if this means that Deinosuchus will be getting an alt
torpid sinew
It's either that or they gave baryonyx ceratosuchops as an alt
Ceratosuchops? Nah, if Baryonyx gets an alt it’s definitely Suchomimus

Maybe deino alt

Ceratosuchops? Nah, if Baryonyx gets an alt it’s definitely Suchomimus
Isn't suchomimus much larger than bary tho
torpid sinew
Isn't suchomimus much larger than bary tho
Being larger doesn't exclude you from being an alt genus
Allosaurus and Parasaurolophus have alts in Saurophaganax and Charonosaurus respectively. They're larger than their "parent" species
gloomy trail
Ceratosuchops? Nah, if Baryonyx gets an alt it’s definitely Suchomimus
that'd be so damn lame, and they're too distinctive imo
torpid sinew
I mean yeah
But if you're going to give Baryonyx an alt might as well make it a spinosaurid people give a shit about
gloomy trail
I mean..
so far a significant portion of alts are either genus people never gave much of a shit about until their addition or are very close relatives
Ceratosuchops does feel much more ideal than Suchomimus tbh
torpid sinew
Ceratosuchops if nothing else would be a sucho alt I think
Cause they're all in the same lil tribe

You can also go the opposite direction with Paracatherium and Juxia
I butchered the first name but whatever
junior mist
Also Suchomimus deadass could just be its seperate animal instead of a bary alt
Ontop of it being larger, it's also believed to be more terrestrial than bary,ik different alts could mean different requirements,but cmon. It's suchomimus. That boy needs to not count as an alt.
Also i'd prefer a spinosaurid that is in debate whether or not it's a baryonyx or not instead of a whole seperate genus found all the way in africa (your statement is still valid tho)
digital briar
Having said that I do think two Deinosuchus species is the more likely option

They should keep the name Saurophaganax to be consistent with Ugrunaaluk

wasn't it confirmed that they'd be keeping the Saurophaganax name?
or at least very likely anyway
digital briar
It was never confirmed
digital briar
They should keep the name Saurophaganax to be consistent with Ugrunaaluk
Should be noted though that Ugrunaaluk is considered to just be regalis now whereas Saurophaganax has been split into an indeterminate sauropod for the namesake and Allosaurus anax
Which would make it closer to animals we know aren't keeping their unique genus name like Edmontosaurus annectens and Pachycephalosaurus spinifer

Id imagine is gonna be Allosaurus
The Ugrunaaluk thing happened after it was added into the game and all

the vivarium species
ok well half assed was bad way to say it
but im not a fan of the pre-programmed species tied to a specific terrain in a small box
id love for them to be able to roam around, especially dicto, compi, and mono
and titanoboa if possible tbh, but i have a strange feeling theres reason why like no fucking game has snakes that can roam like that (that i know of)

Personally I like having animals that can have reasonable indoor enclosures more than having tiny animals that won't be very visible. Some of the larger ones could work outside (Simosuchus or Compy for instance) but the rest don't really work in a normal habitat and the Vivariums themselves are lively enough that the set pathways the animals can move on aren't too noticable (except for Titanoboa but snake)
floral basin
from what i watched they just kinda do some precoded actions and then teleport to a diffrent spot
if it literally was just small enclosure you could design yourself and they moved freely (excluding snake ig) would be much better

No?
They walk on invisible pathways, they can move back and forth on it and turn around on said pathways, pretty sure they can even get on different ones. They stop to do an idle every so often as well. Not all of them get to walk at once so there are some animals that just sit in place the whole time but that's not all of them

They jump to different positions when you aren't looking at the vivarium but they don't ever teleport around in front of you

Why is this already in my top 3 favorite allo desgins
It is very nice, shockingly so given the subject matter
dusty merlin
when the erotic comedy has better designs than 90% of dinosaur media in the last decade
south scaffold
weirdly good designs sometimes come from truly bizarre places
haughty rock
How some low budget gratuity film got access to Ray Harryhausen and his creative prowess is so beyond me it’s not even funny
dusty merlin
maybe more horny people need to make dinosaur movies
haughty rock
Maybe it’s one of those friend favors
south scaffold
I nominate myself
dusty merlin
when you think about it
it makes sense
the dinosaurs arent the main attraction so they dont have to meet a specific marketability criteria
now there is of course the misogyny shaped elephant in the room so its not an ideal scenario

my boy has returned, the lord
wide steeple
well duh its a movie titled dinosaur valley girls
NGL instead of a erotic film that sounds like a great magical girls series
wide steeple
Yes its name means different lizard king or lord
Allosaurus is different or other lizard
floral basin
glad hes still a lord
wide steeple
so Allosaurus means “other lizard king/lord” essentially

yeah

This is what it feels like to be a jwe3 fan rn

i'm ngl, not a fan of this jw-fied anax design. it just doesn't fit PK imo. also the skins of the old allo designs were generally more vibrant and beautfiul then the current ones. that said, jimmadseni is my favourite out of them
rapid bear

JW-fied
it's just a slightly spinier allosaurus
ancient yoke
jw-fied may be a little harsh here, but i think you get my point
south scaffold
well yea it's stylistically edgier
but it's within the realm of reality
not a monster like actual JW designs are
ancient yoke
absolutely, i just wish those lame spikes weren't there
south scaffold
I like em, and it sets anax apart from the other allos visually
ancient yoke
i'm really curious about combat though, seems kinda early in dev still
even though u17 is next month already
wary adder
the contrast between the two revealed allosaurus species is so amusing to me like they’re opposite even down to their color scheme
I still prefer the first two just cuz I like fragilis/jimmadensi more but these are wonderful additions to the game
anax has a lot of character to it
tulip merlin
But the croc-like osteoderms are also on Iguanodon so, meh
Iguanodon doesn't have osteoderms in PK, those are scales. And the anax isn't anything like JW, imo. It's that perfect balance

What? If anything I think it's less over the top than their Iguanodon

anax's are also feature scales
There are structures I would call spikes but those are only on the crest

lmao
Honestly the three more "edgy" bois (including Spinosaurus) are amongst my favorite designs in the game from how much personality is infused into their designs (and animations in the case of Spino)
south scaffold
Spino just looks like a Spino
tulip merlin
I love anax. I will always use it. I think my 2 favorite of the allos is anax and fragilis
south scaffold
it is just genuinely perfect
digital briar
Yeah I absolutely adore it, and the animations making it a lumbering giant is so much better than it already is
haughty rock
I like anax because it looks like an evolution of the JPOG Allo
Also I don’t think I dislike spines and stuff inherently it’s just that all the other designs that rely on it have shit anatomy underneath
latent canyon
Pk isn't just the accurate dinosaur game
Same game also has naked deinocheirus and feathered pachyrhinosaurus
They are allowed to experiment a bit with their designs I hope
digital briar
You say that as if naked Deinocheirus isn't the most likely option for a Tyrannosaurus sized animal
latent canyon
How come?
wary adder
big animal
modern megafauna don’t have a lot of body hair on them if they live in a warm environment cuz they’d overheat
deinocheirus probably lived in a warm environment
digital briar
Yeah exactly
wary adder
not ur fault
digital briar
^^
latent canyon
Still looks a bit cursed
digital briar
Same arguments you see for naked ground sloths (although with them their lower metabolism than more typical mammals means they were probably furred in temperate environments like where you find Megatherium)
torpid sinew
Pk isn't just the accurate dinosaur game
Well, PK is in an interesting situation where their skin system lets them mess around with alternative ideas while still maintaining the "accurate" form
latent canyon
Pk is scientifically informed
digital briar
That's why the eremotherium was naked in prehistoric planet?
Yee, it's an elephant sized animal in a tropical rainforest, it gonna be hot
latent canyon
I think that's the best way to put it
torpid sinew
Pachyrhinosaurus has a woolly skin, yes, but there's two others if you don't like it
latent canyon
I won't be surprised if we get a naked raptor eventually
torpid sinew
Elasmotherium's dome-casque-thingy is the most likely reconstruction, but they still gave it a skin with a more prominent horn if you really want that
torpid sinew
I won't be surprised if we get a naked raptor eventually
PK's experimental ideas are generally based on alternate hypotheses
We have more than enough evidence to say with certainy dromaeosaurs as a while were covered in feathers
latent canyon
I swear one of the devs talked about this possibility with utahraptor
ancient yoke
nope Utah will be feathered as it should
junior mist
Btw shoutout to PK for giving us fighting sauropods

Guys this shit is not like jpog they do NOT like each other
Im so excited for combat because I didn't even pose them like this ^ they just naturally started to gang up on the Carch
Good on him though for standing on business
torpid sinew
Guys this shit is not like jpog they do NOT like each other
I would love it if you could form friendships by introducing species together when they're babies
south scaffold
I just realized something
PK is off by so few dinosaurs to recreate the JPOG roster
And anax is such a good evolution to the jpog allo design
I'm grasping really hard at these straws

Meanwhile both dev teams enjoy both games
It's always the fans who make these competition things
torpid sinew
Not even a competition in that image but whatever

Not even a competition in that image but whatever
It is a competition
"MY product is superior to YOUR product"
Despite both dev teams having a friendly relationship
But alas fans need to feel superior I suppose

I like how you completely invented this just to complain about it

Really?

If any fans are bringing up the comparison it’s JWE fans
Which to me is about the same as how JWE fans also compare their game to Planet Zoo

You're the one comparing both constantly tho
I don't even like JWE
Don't have the third game nor plan to have it

Jwe needs comparison because we are at the third game and it still feels unfinished

I mean the meme strikes me as very faithful to the reality of JWE and PK; PK isn’t competing with JWE, the developers aren’t actively trying to surpass it, and yet it does look like JWE shoots itself in the face every now and then regardless
It’s like how Steam is the best gaming platform by doing the bare minimum of treating its users normally. The others meanwhile keep shooting themselves in the face
proper stone
Know what, fair
I really should replay PK. I just suck at making parks in general, oof
Or I get bored after the first inclosure 😭
wide steeple
I have not seen a single PK fan trying to feel “superior” or whatever
ngl the only time I have seen that is like once on the reddit. Which is expected redditors….
but most PK fans in general are pretty chill with other games as most of them including me just love the genre as a whole. So there is a PZ thread, a JWE thread and etc….
PK has a smaller community and longer lasting one as a project so its generally less toxic than most dinosaur focused communties. Most PK fans like PK, PZ and JWE.
Ironically I see so many more people here glaze PK than PK fans do on average.
torpid sinew
There are a few JWE players on the PK JWE thread expressing their disbelief at how good the combat system is shaping up to look, particularly the sight of a sauropod defending itself for once
