You won't be stumbling around in the dark anymore. Update 5.5 is now available on the EVRIMA Public Branch, bringing forth our first iteration of the long awaited Night Vision mechanic that was built utilizing feedback from our diligent stress testing team.

@everyone Hey Islanders,
Tear apart your prey and treat yourself to their innards. Update 6 brings forth the first iteration of gore, gifting each dinosaur with a plethora of delectable organs to feast upon. Meat, fresh and otherwise will impact your diet positively or negatively based on what part of a corpse you eat and how old it is. Utilize scent to select the best bits for yourself, leaving the rest for the scavengers. A discerning carnivore is drawn to death but wary of decay.

Hey Islanders,
We're well-aware of the rubberbanding issues on the stress testing servers, it's to be expected with the sheer volume of users all attempting to connect to the servers simultaneously. See the gif below for an accurate visual representation.
1. If running The Isle, exit the game.
2. Open File Explorer.
3. Click the address bar at the top.
4. Type %localappdata% then press Enter.
5. Find "TheIsle" folder. Open it.
6. Open the "Saved" folder.
7. Delete the "Config" folder. Note: This will reset any of your custom settings to their defaults.
8. Start the game.```Stress test servers will be going down momentarily in preparation of a new build/patch, which will be deployed shortly.
sullen nest
Servers are still experiencing issues due to the sheer number of users connecting simultaneously. If you're encountering freezing issues after swapping back to the EVRIMA branch, you'll need to delete your Saved folder to do so. As you're attempting to play on the previous UE4 version with data from the UE5 one, hence the freeze/crash.
2. Open File Explorer.
3. Click the address bar at the top.
4. Type %localappdata% then press Enter.
5. Find "TheIsle" folder. Open it.
6. Delete the "Saved" folder. Note: This will reset any of your custom settings to their defaults, as well as delete any saved skins.
7. Start the game.```For those of you playing on our 6.5 stress test branch, we're deploying a patch for the server crash issue. You may need to restart Steam if it's not immediately available. (For context; this refers to the opt-in 6.5 stress testing branch)

@everyone Hey Islanders,
Thank you to everyone for their participation in the recent horde testing, the involvement of the community has been instrumental in identifying the last of our remaining major bugs.
The transition to UE5 took far longer than anticipated for both the community and our team. While there is still one underlying issue that we would like to resolve, it has been acknowledged by Epic and a solution will be available in a future engine version. We are actively developing a solution to deploy at the earliest opportunity after 6.5 drops.
In the near future, we will introduce a staged planning approach for the roadmap. By implementing this change, we aim to improve communication and prevent false expectations. This approach will highlight important features, but will not encompass bug fixes, roster alterations, or the checklist that inaccurately communicated the progress of certain animals. This should also mark the last major upheaval in-between dinosaur additions, content releases, and patches to ongoing problems.
We appreciate your continued support, feedback and patience throughout this endeavour. The stage is set, and we can't wait to reveal the exciting next chapter of our journey towards completing The Isle.
1. If running The Isle, exit the game.

Hey Islanders,
During our investigation of the persistent ping and crashing issues that have impacted our Official Servers, we have pinpointed certain deficiencies within our database setup as the likely culprits. To rectify these issues, we are deploying a small patch. Unfortunately, this necessary corrective measure requires us to wipe all player data across our Official Servers. In addition, unofficial servers will also be required to reset their databases to stay compatible with the changes introduced in this new patch.
Remember that you may need to restart your Steam client if the patch is not immediately available.
You may also notice that data has not been wiped on NA 1 & 3, they were our testing grounds for these changes, hence the lack of issues with those two servers in the last couple days.

@everyone
Hey islanders, it's been a while.
A branch will soon be going live for a public test of Gateway. It will remain open for an indeterminate amount of time as we collect performance data, crash reports, and heatmaps of player activity. Of course things are subject to change, but there's no reason to keep everyone waiting.
You may have already seen many of the new additions such as atmosphere, weather, nightvision, and stat alterations. Migrations are active. Sanctuaries are under construction and will not be immediately present. Some areas hold their proxy meshes as we move their final kits on to the island and others may be clearly paved for future locations. Survival may not be as overly brutal as the closed stress tests, but we feel it's best to make it known now that this is a noticeable shift in how players have carried themselves through an animal's life.
The total "What's Changed!?" patchnotes will be provided when this is patched to EVRIMA. Until then, I want you all to discover how things feel without reading numbers and the team will pull from that feedback accordingly.
We hope you enjoy.

Hey Islanders,
We are in the process of rolling out Gateway to the EVRIMA branch. As outlined in our latest DevBlog, our current live version (Spiro, 0.11.59.04) will be moved to its own branch for a limited time. This move is designed to accommodate players who do not want to partake in active development but wish to continue playing the game on the previous stable version. Once Gateway's gameplay loop is assessed internally as stable and within the intended vision, we will drop support for 0.11.59.04 and return to a unified EVRIMA branch.

Hey Islanders,
We are taking down the servers in preparation for a new patch. All saved data will be wiped to ensure compatability with new content. Keeping in line with putting content forward when it's able to be played, we will be releasing playable versions of the herrerasaurus and dilophosaurus. They still need adjustments, some of which are obvious while others are not. Please continue to use the bug reporting function so we can refine what we can before the holidays.
I hope you find the new additions to the roster as fun as we do.

@everyone Hey Islanders,
Due to the holiday season we will not be providing a devblog over the new year. However, in the spirit of moving forward with presentable content, we are releasing a new patch that will be delivered straight to evrima as opposed to the standard hordetesting branch. The inclusion of herrerasaurus and dilophosaurus has come early, however there are certain quirks both visually and mechanically for each of them that will be adjusted after the holidays. Continue using the bug report functionality regardless, as we will continue to refine content as much as possible in the coming days before holiday break. I hope you find the new additions to the roster as fun as we do.

0.14.12.28 Horde Testing Branch
Hey Islanders,
Shortly we will be deploying a build that introduces several fixes to ongoing bugs and putting up two ST servers. The best kind of horde test is an unscheduled horde test. There will be additional roll-outs after this once we've resolved some of the lingering issues that requires a larger group for testing. Gateway has a few new areas. East Plains remains ominously untouched for the moment. We've adjusted the lighting so that it is brighter during weather events. Daylight's lighting during weather sets feels good, but night's weather presets are still under construction. We're also working to optimize performance and this patch should finally resolve the audio stutter. Due to limited server availability we will not be pinging the entire discord with this announcement.

<@&860262739666141184> Hey Islanders,
For this upcoming patch, we'll be experimenting with a new server variant based on feedback gathered from our recent Hordetest. These servers will support higher player counts of 150 without AI, based in both NA and EU regions. Initially there will only be two servers of this type available, but we will spin up additional servers of this variant as necessary and they will remain available for as long as player interest dictates.
Please note; Our regular 100 slot AI enabled servers will still be available alongside the experimental ones.

Barring a few known but small issues, it's been a blast so far and we hope you'll enjoy it as well.

Hey Islanders,
We have some important news to share regarding the ongoing Hordetest. Thank you all for your patience as we've been working hard to upgrade our version of Unreal to 5.4. Barring any undiscovered issues, the audio stuttering and fatal error crashes seem to be fully resolved and AI is once again moving as intended. However, we're currently resolving VFX compatibility that came with moving to 5.4 that introduced a more frequent fatal error. Thankfully this problem produces useful logs so this should not take a large amount of time and we did not want to keep testers in the dark with no news.
As soon as these errors are sorted, another patch will be sent to the Hordetesting branch as we begin to finalize the latest update.

Hey Islanders,
Once again, it's time to swarm the Hordetesting branch! Below this post, we've outlined the most notable changes.
Starting hunger set at 100%
Stomach contents no longer scale with player growth. This means the faster an animal grows and mass increases, the more food they will need to maintain themselves as their stomach expands
Players can set an active nutrient on their status menu. Active nutrients are what gets altered by environmental factors such as Salt Licks and other nutrient drains
Salt Licks now drain a player's an active nutrient
Salt Licks now properly cure vomit sickness
Buffs immediately apply on nutrient intake and the buff strength is proportionate to the amount of total nutrients consumed
Ceratosaurus manual vomit now decay corpses substantially faster based on the weight of a corpse
Corpse food values have been updated
Plant food values have been updated
Stegosaurus tail impale attack has been moved to the directional controls
Stegosaurus power swing charge removed
Elite fish have updated fleeing logic and will also occasionally hunt smaller players (including full grown Beipis. This wasn't originally intended but it's Friday and it's fun time. Just DODGE! Will be adjusted next HT update)
Port location has been extended (Vegetation has been temporarily stripped away)
Eggs gestation has been added on the nest menu. Gestating Eggs is required for laying eggs
Egg Gestation require a mother to expend both 5% food and 5% of any nutrient per egg on the nest screen. This will gestate an egg over 5 minutes (Does not require an active nest or bonded partner)
If an animal actively gestating eggs is killed, their eggs are contained within the corpse and are edible by carnivores and omnivores
Egg incubation is 5 minutes for all animals
Eggs can now be scented
Eggs can now be picked up and stolen from a nest to be eaten
Several mutations have had functionality adjustments to make their utility more useful and descriptions updated
Some notes about bugs we're aware of:
Distance textures and blending has been temporarily disabled
Scavengers temporarily disabled
A particular building or part of it may suddenly become a metal texture. This has been patched for next week
Servers and the branch will open in ~30 minutes.

Hey Islanders,
Shortly we're deploying a new build to the Hordetesting branch. You may need to restart your Steam client if the download does not make itself immediately available to download.

Latched players no longer lose stamina if they try to move to an occupied latch slot```Tyrannosaurus Additional Mechanics
Hold SecondaryAttack - Heavy Muzzle Swing
Hold PrimaryAttack, Release - Crush
Crush is a powerful bite that launches the tyrannosaurus forward and does increased standard and fracture damage, with a lengthy recovery if it misses. This ability deals increased fracture damage as the tyrannosaurus gets larger. If an animal is tired or injured enough and the tyrannosaurus is comparatively large enough, a crush can be used to pin and execute an animal at the cost of stamina.
**Sparring**
Tyrannosaurus does not manually enter spar mode. Tyrannosaurus enters sparring by biting the face of or receiving a frontal attack to its head from spar compatible targets. These are currently other tyrannosaurus or a ceratopsian within relative size ranges of one another.```Elder System
Certain actions throughout your animal’s life will allow it to reach a prime elder. This affects each animal differently, with some much more greatly affected. Most prime elders surpass the capabilities of adults, but all prime elders unlock the use of that life’s fourth mutation slot. And though prime elders will still age, the falloff for these animals is less severe than those that did not reach this achievement.
Note: None of this is mandatory. You can choose to never engage with this system and just live as an old animal with decreased capability.```Known Issues:

(This is a HordeTest announcement so no pings)
Hey Islanders,
Custom announcement message this time. Since we’ve had to squeeze some work in on the public evrima branch, this update to the HordeTest is a big one. We’re back to regularly churning these updates out. To spare a massive TLDR of the changelog, I’ve included some of the major known issues at the top of these patchnotes and included some of the more relevant changes for you all on the bottom. There's a whole lot more that did not get included, so I'll see you on servers!
Major known issues:
User-Interface is currently WIP. Visuals may be misaligned, improperly sized, or mismatched in certain screens.
Group UI page is not fully functional, preventing players from leaving groups, accepting spawn code requests, promoting or kicking players. This means if you group up, you’re friends till the end… or until you log out.
Group nametags will occasionally fail to show a player's name correctly when leaving render distance or spawning in a nest.
Stamina, thirst, and hunger UI has a minor offset in scaling. They will only start filling at around 20% and emptying around 85%. You can manually check by pressing enter and hovering over the stamina icon.
Players can spawn inside certain rocks in the highlands. This has been fixed for the next patch.
Some waterfalls have no audio. This has been fixed for the next patch.
Skin palettes have been reset for some species. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Blood textures will occasionally glow on certain surfaces.
Sequential Hermaphroditism and Parthenogenesis mutations are inherited and transferred when entombing, which is unintended
Pteranodon latch will occasionally fail to trigger```0.21.196 Hordetesting Branch
Fixed diet plants occasionally spawning underwater
Fixed instances where using the hydrodynamic mutation could result in a player being kicked
Congenital Hypoalgesia properly reduces pin, crush, ram & lunge damage
Fixed fruits becoming stuck to the player's face if it had slid down a slope before the player picks it up
Fixed the tyrannosaurus crush not engaging the sparring mechanic
Pteranodons flying faster than their hover will knock themselves out of flight when attacking heavier targets on the ground
Ceratosaurus properly gains bacteria when it swallows a rotten meat chunk
Ptera cannot perform directional attacks in a mudpit.
Prime Elder Pteranodon cannot use aerial peck during air brake without getting knocked out of flight
Slipstreams no longer force stamina loss on pteranodons
Clams properly list on the pteranodon’s diet
Rex crush pinning/grappling conditions have been fixed. There is still an issue where he can pin slightly larger targets.
Adjusted pteranodon dive angles
Adjusted pteranodon flying speed and ascent angle. For a brief moment in time, pteranodon might feel a little heavy. The todo’s are: Faster turn rotations, heavily decreased loss of momentum, and stamina cost decreases for ascending.
Triceratops engage and flip attacks are faster
Decreased stegosaurus bite hitbox
Made pteranodon 45 degree directional attacks faster```0.21.196 Hordetesting Branch (Part 2: Discord Nitro-less Edition)
Triceratops juvenile and subadults turn faster
Reinforced Tendons - Changed values from 50/60/70% to 25/35/50%
Cellular Regeneration - Changed values from 15/20/25% to 10/15/25%
Featherweight - Changed values from 50/60/70% to 15/35/50%
Photosynthetic Tissue and Nocturnal - Remove movement speed buffs from mutations
Cannibalistic - Mutation unlock requirements removed. Now can be selected manuals This is temporary
Hematophagy - Changed values from 15/20/25% to 15/25/35%
Hatchlings are now immune to being infertile
Players that have reached prime elder can no longer lose it to doing specific actions such as eating corpses of their own species```Hey Islanders,

Hey Islanders,
This information is only relevant to server owners.
If you're a server owner encountering issues trying to start your server, or have a notable decrease in performance, the information below should help!
You can change the gameport by adding -Port=9999 to the server start script.. here is an example:
REM Start TheIsleServer with the specified parameters
set SERVER_EXECUTABLE=TheIsleServer.exe
set LOG_FLAG=-log
set INI_PARAMETERS=-ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW -ini:Engine:[EpicOnlineServices]:DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8 -Port=9999
%SERVER_EXECUTABLE% %LOG_FLAG% %INI_PARAMETERS%
pause```
You also need to set your QueryPort to be the same as the Port from the commandline. Inside the ini here is an example:
```[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198014759650
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198014759650

In an attempt to increase community interaction, we will be changing how our Content Creator role works. These members will be handpicked by our staff that we deem most deserving of the title, whether they contribute to the game regularly through uploading videos, live streaming, creating art or maybe even composing some fan made music!
Every two weeks they may - though it is not a requirement - compete in an internal media competition, in which the winner will receive a shoutout to the community showcasing their hard work.
If this is something you would be interested in, send either myself, @sullen nest or any <@&401466542140817419> a DM for us to review your content.

@everyone
Greetings Islanders,
As many of you may be aware, we are preparing to rewrite much of our codebase; known to most community members as the "recode". We're not starting over, but there's going to be a lot of changes. We'll delve into what all this means in more detail below.
Why are we doing this?
As many of the veteran players may remember, there have been features introduced into the game that were sadly removed. Unfortunately, things like this happened due to rapid implementation causing more bugs and crashes than the new gameplay mechanics it provided. Our current foundational code severely limits our ability to balance combat and add new, more complex elements to the game. So much of our original codebase will be rewritten to provide gameplay experiences and features that are exciting as well as stable. Like a bandaid, we've just gotta rip it off!
How long will this take?
While we cannot accurately provide an exact timeline, we are estimating a few months. We're focusing on introducing a solid, quality implementation so we won't run into the same issues we've experienced thus far. We're going to take the time we feel is necessary to do this right. Everything we're doing, is for you guys. Making our jobs easier is just an added bonus.
So, what does that mean for you, the community?
During the recode we will not be pushing many (if any) builds to the Live servers. We know, it's a super bummer! But do not fear, production is blazing along full speed behind the scenes! In addition, we'll be updating you all in a transparent fashion like we've never done before. So you can all expect much more insight into our development process, not less. So here's to progressing to the next level!

@everyone Hey Islanders, in regards to Ask a Dev we have an announcement for you all.
First and foremost, we love our community and love sharing our achievements and milestones with you guys. We're not just game developers and artists. Like you guys, we're gamers and dinosaur lovers at our core . We really want to see dinosaur games as a genre be given the care and polish that it deserves and be done so with integrity. In fact, it's something we've felt so strongly about that we've set out to accomplish that very task.
In the past, we would lay out almost every facet of the direction we wanted to take the game in. From dinosaurs we wanted to implement, to mechanics we wanted them to have, to music, feel etc. Sharing from the heart is something The Isle Dev Team is known for and used to do it all the time. We really miss being extremely transparent with the community about our plans, ideas and directions. However, with the current climate of dinosaur games, it's been made unconducive to announce our plans in their entirety before we're ready to deliver them. Because it leads to the genre of dinosaur games as a whole and the gamers that play them, to suffer an unpolished, hurridely implemented iteration of what we've shared with the public. Neither you, the community, us the developers of The Isle or the genre of dinosaur games deserves that. It has been remiss of us not to notice that trend sooner. So we're taking the appropriate steps to make sure we don't contribute to that cycle any longer and get you guys the type of game we've all wanted since we were kids.
However, we do have a little something we'd like to share with you!

@everyone We want to address some interesting points brought up by people in response to family sharing being re-disabled,
"Why don't you simply IP ban abusers?"
You can change your IP for free, it's very easy.
"Why don't you simply ban abusers by hardware identification?"
This is easily bypassed by free software or registry edits.
"Doing this just puts abusing the game behind a paywall."
This is all games can do. The prohibitive cost to abuse the game makes it simply not worth it for 99% of abusers, and this is how the games industry has worked for decades because it is the only viable option.
"Wasn't it disabled in 2017, what happened?"
We disabled it with custom engine-level networking code as suggested by Valve support, but when Epic Games upgraded the engine last year, it was re-enabled due to the underlying architecture of the steam authentication service being rewritten.
"Why was it enabled in the first place?"
Steam has forced Family Sharing onto all titles by default since 2016, which has led to most multiplayer titles disabling this by hand, due to the abusive nature of the service in online games.
"Will it ever be coming back?"
This is unlikely, as it really has no place in this game.
"How bad was the abuse, really?"
Some players and groups had over 30 alt accounts that they used to evade bans or harass players after being killed.

Today we have a preview of the highly anticipated and first of Atrium B's many playable aquatic predators: Deinosuchus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJcvlDJrz8A&feature=youtu.be
As our first playable aquatic, this brings many exciting gameplay possibilities to The Isle. Some of you may know that we are working on a brand new map as part of our recode process, and it is being built with these new creatures in mind. From large rivers, great lakes, and sprawling swampland, there will be plenty of potential hunting grounds for these submerged stalkers.
Think twice before you go for a drink, you may find yourself in the jaws of Deinosuchus!

@everyone We have seen a great deal of discussion around the word; “recode”, which has become a noun among the community. Which unfortunately fails to accurately convey what our team has spent the last year working on in regards to The Isle. We invite you all to look at “the recode” as a verb.
The game has been ripped down to it’s foundations and our team has rebuilt things from the ground up to allow us to iterate on new animals, add complex interactions, soundscaping and core gameplay features.
Our next update will be massive. This will not be the same game you have been playing with all this time. It will be better. There will be new mechanics to be tested and balanced as we move towards our eventual exit from early access. The feedback we gather from our players, content creators and the quality assurance team will be invaluable to us as we move forward.
Internally we’ve been calling this next update “EVRIMA”. This is only the beginning for phase two and we hope you will all stick with us until that green early access banner leaves our steam page.

@everyone Development Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/rr_raptor65

@everyone Hey Islanders,
I'd like to take a moment to clear up some misinformation that I've seen spreading throughout the community. EVRIMA is not being released on the 14th of February and it was never slated to be. If we were ever to provide an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) it would always be in an official capacity by way of our Discord, Steam announcements or Twitter page, so that you would know it is legitimate. We pride ourselves on quality, continually pushing ourselves forward to create the best gameplay experience possible.
While we understand that you are all eager, just as we are, to dig your claws into EVRIMA, quality takes time. It is in the best interest of everyone that we not restrict ourselves to a hard date only to be delayed by an unforeseen circumstance, naturally resulting in disappointment. But know that we are always taking a step forward, never backwards. We hope this clears up any confusion that may be going around in regards to EVRIMAs release date.
I'd also like to introduce you to a couple of elder friends.

We will be putting an update out soon from the family. Thank You ❤️ ! (#TeamFoszor art credit to Catbug!)

For those of you inquiring about an update around Foszor, his lovely wife posted an update to the GoFundMe that I would like to share here. ```Hi Everyone...It’s Monique (Brandon aka Foszor’s wife) and we just wanted to say thank you to each and everyone one of you from the bottom of our hearts. I will try to post updates here weekly or as they happen with Brandons treatment and condition. This week he was suppose to start his clinical trial immunotherapy infusions. Yesterday we actually ended up at the hospital thinking he had low platelets again but it turns out his white blood cells are pretty low. We were hoping by today they would start to go up a little bit to start infusions and I guess there was just other plans in the cards for him. His counts dropped even more in less than 24 hours and he will be doing WBC booster shots to get his numbers back up to a normal level. Hoping by next week we can get back on track with treatment and killing this damn tumor. As most of you know chemotherapy is no longer an option for him as it severely depletes his bone marrow. For now we’re searching for a Plan B or C options. One of those is a doctor in Spain that has been doing some amazing things, but its not covered by insurance and this gofundme will be used for that. Again, thank you all so much we truly appreciate it. I’ll post more on the Spain idea once I get his blood work results back from Spain
@everyone I’ve been looking forward to writing this, it has been a long road for our team since we initially announced our intentions to rip the game down to its bones and start with a fresh, efficient foundation for the game we want to release.
What does this mean for you? It means that we are getting closer to the release of EVRIMA. We are preparing to stage three branches of our game. One branch, our “Legacy” branch, will contain the game as it is currently, so that people can still enjoy what we have there as we move forward with development.
The second, will be our future live EVRIMA branch moving forward. At the onset this will have one playable carnivore and one playable herbivore along with some of the new mechanics you’ve seen us showcasing in the Phase Two channel.
The third, will be the EVRIMA Q/A branch where our Q/A team will work to diligently test and prove out our new mechanics, animals and other assorted features as our team of creators works to breathe life into the world we set out to make.
I can hear you asking, “But Paradym, this isn’t a release date?!” Our lead man for build deployment has been down for the count. As he is returning to work, we will be streamlining the branch deployment process. This will allow us to get updates moved along efficiently and as painlessly as possible.
No one wants to tell you guys to wait any longer. Believe me when I say that the hardest part of my job is knowing that we have these amazing things in store but I have to ask you to wait longer for them. We want you to play this with us and we are working to make that happen swiftly.

For those of you looking for an update on Foszor. His wife posted this last night. ```Happy Thursday everyone!! Wanted to give you guys a weekly update on Foszor(Brandon). This was a big week for him, it was scan week and to see if Brandons counts were good enough to start treatment again. He hasn’t had a scan(MRI) since January and at that time the tumor was still actively growing. His MRI was yesterday and we got word later that afternoon that his tumor was stable and no new growth . Our next hurdle was his blood counts. Most of them were good but there was still a couple that the docs were a little concerned about and the team was going to meet this morning to discuss if he can move forward with the clinical trial treatment. Well the team all agreed and he was able to move forward. We then finally got to sit down with the docs and look at his scans and when they did the measurements of the tumor there was some shrinkage in both tumors. Seriously I was so so happy at that point. I was good with no growth but minor shrinkage was AMAZING NEWS!!!
After meeting with the docs it was finally time for his infusions. We’re usually in infusions for 3-4 hours and it’s mentally and physically exhausting but if this kills this tumor it’s all worth it. Next week he will do another round of infusions and bloodwork to make sure his numbers are still doing good. Thanks again for all the well wishes and prayers. We love reading all of your messages and seeing your drawings with #teamfoszor.
Now for an update on Spain and alternative treatments. His blood test kit is on its way to us and should be here by Saturday. Once he does his blood test we will get results in 2-3 weeks. This will tell us the best treatments for Brandon and his condition. We refuse to put all our eggs in one basket so we make sure to keep all of our options open to kill this damn thing. We love you all and I’ll be back next week with another update.```

We are currently investigating GeForce Now. Please stop directing DMs to developers about this topic specifically as a number of us are being messaged, tagged and asked in a half dozen places regarding this. We will let you know what is happening once we've come to a decision. Thanks Gang!
lament mist
Update: I'm now in a dialogue, I don't know if you guys poked them too but I got a contact back from their Twitter and now have an Email dialogue. We've also received the full legal agreement and in my first passthrough of this I see nothing that would be an immediate no go from my side. We'll go over this as a team today during our meeting and I'll let you all know what we decide later this evening.

Today and Tomorrow we are conducting targetted large scale stress tests with our QA team and NDA bound content creators in preparation for the content creator first slice preview. We ask at this time that you do not harass them because they are legally bound to not discuss what they see during these stress tests. Here within this discord we will be taking our usual approach to individuals attempting to harass folks with NDAs.
Once we are satisfied with these stress tests we will be doing a proper first slice preview to all of the content creators ahead of EVRIMAs release.
lament mist
I'd like to thank all of our Content Creators who signed up to help us throw bodies at testing yesterday and look forward to more closed stress testing today with our team. We'll be doing some more targetted bug fixed and balance pass with the data we've gathered.

Hey. Relax, we gave this week window because we know that zero hour bugs arrive as we get close to release of this update, it's the 14th and many of you guys are absolutely losing your mind. Calm down, we'll update you while we wrap up these critical bugs and tuck them into bed.
QA and our Programmers are working pretty damn hard on this, we've closed 40 issues since you last saw an update of our tracker 3 days ago, discovered some new ones including some critical crash issues. Our team has worked and is still working through the weekend and night banging these issues out.

It’s been a really long road for us (It’s been a longer road for me) to get to a point where we are okay with letting the rest of the world see a small slice (Yeah, because an entire remake is a small slice but alright) of the labor we’ve put into rebuilding (Not recoding) this game from the ground up.
We’d like to welcome all of you (Content creators first, because Reddit knows that CC’s are the most important) to share your experiences in EVRIMA with your friends (Unless you don’t have any, which is why you’re up at this hour), fans (Read: Cult) and our community (Still a cult). As of the posting of this announcement, we are lifting the embargo on sharing the world (Aren’t we calling it EVRIMA at every opportunity? Where’s our marketing guy?) we’ve built and that you bring to life** (Only because AI isn’t in yet and we still need you)**. Thank you for being so helpful (Impatient) and open (Angry) with us during gameplay balance sessions (Screaming at the PC into the night at fatal errors we didn’t even cause) and the excellent feedback (Read: @surreal field complaining alt-turn is built in) and diligent work (We destroyed marriages) from our QA team and Content Creators (We know the only one that matters but we made it plural) during this process (It’s not a race, I swear) that has been immensely valuable.
Now go out there and tell us (Me) how terribly we’ve (Me again, because you only hate me) made combat now that you can’t assride and alt-turn is built in.

@everyone
Hey Islanders, as many of you are aware we intended to release our roadmap last Friday, but due to some technical issues with the website we were unable to do so. Whilst our website is still undergoing additional work, we aren't going to allow it to impede the release of the roadmap any further. You'll find it available in the #roadmap-updates channel beneath #stream-announcements. Below you'll find a short write-up that will allow you to appropriately set your expectations.
Roadmap expectation:
We have not labeled these as numerical months or dates, but “batches” of dinosaurs that are designed around each other. These batches are not in a particular release order, but will be selected based on the needs of the game. Each batch is designed to function as cohesively as possible together. We will communicate deeper details to you as a batch is selected to be delivered. The plan is to make sure a base dinosaur is feature complete before we begin putting in more that will branch off and share mechanics.This means nesting, night vision, grouping, diets, and anything else shared among every single dinosaur will be in the game before the roster moves forward with dinosaur implementation. If there are delays, we will begin immediate work on the next dinosaur(s) and not wait out until the end of a month to start the next batch.
Lastly, not to be the things are subject to change, but we want to make a note that if there’s a clear issue with the ecosystem or roster of dinosaurs where needs aren’t being filled, we will reach out to identify the issues and, if need be, alter the schedule of dinosaur implementation or put something else in entirely as needed if the outcome isn’t what we planned or isn’t benefiting the game environment.

(I'm still on vacation but this is going on our website, you guys keep breaking our stuff.

I'm still supposed to be away but I'm learning from reddit we haven't communicated enough that our team is working on the reported bugs and the balance related feedback we are receiving from this community, I can't reiterate enough that our team is actively working on resolving these issues. We have a large team and not every single one of us is a programmer. Dondi isn't a programmer, he's a mapper and the director. Bryan and Kissen are animators and are not programmers but Kissen is working to make sure they have whatever they need to address these issues while I am away. Punch is not a programmer, he manages all of the CC and helps police all of our social media and has been working overtime while I have been away. Tap and Fred are artists and not programmers and are working on our future animals and concepts during their work week. Hypno is busy with his QA team wrangling all of the bug reports that continue to come in and ensuring that they pass through QA's validation process while the Programmers work to resolve some of the issues IE stutter, and our devops and software engineer team is working on making it much easier for us to manage all of our officials while supporting all of our programmers needs as well.
We had EVRIMA as a beta branch because we knew we were going to need to continue to work on sussing out all of the issues and the volume of data all of you have provided has been incredibly useful, I know that those of us who aren't programmers would appreciate if you didn't go out of your way to BM the team while we work to support them and filter all of the information you are passing us and much of the team is away mandatorily due to the pace of our work since Jan and the time involved in rebuilding this game from the ground up.
I'm really not supposed to be working right now but I couldn't just stand by with all of the commentary on reddit, the steam forums and people going into dev streams to have a go at members of our team who aren't a part of the bug fixing process. EVRIMA has some issues, we are working on addressing those and we look forward to you all enjoying the fruits of that labor.

Hey Islanders, to keep you all informed, we're shifting the responsibilities of a few members of the team so that we can better coordinate delivering the truly awesome game you all deserve.
@lament mist here, @sullen nest is our Community Director and while I have been helping to coordinate the direction and relaying that information in a parseable manner for our teams to make use of. Unfortunately, this ontop of my pretty large volume of responsibilities from a business management perspective meant that some side of that was going to suffer and I was starting to burn out being point on community engagement. I will be stepping back to let Punchpacket take over on these interactions with you guys and to better allow him to manage that engagement across our social media, steam forums, discord and reddit. This doesn't mean that I am leaving you guys, just working at a different level to coordinate our strategy and spend time working closely with Don specifically on the design and business end. I'm still going to be here, chatting with you guys and interacting in streams just more to a point where I have a better work-life balance and I'm not working myself to death, sleeping 3-4 hours a night for a week then crashing and being dead for an entire day. This community has great capacity for good and healthy interactions and I would like to see us continue to interact positively with all of you as our team and userbase grows.
@sullen nest here, so as you've most likely read above, I'm going to be taking over much of Paradym's community engagement. You're going to see me more actively participating inside of channels that are outside of my inbox & troubleshooting sections, which also means I'm going to be significantly increasing the size of our moderation team to account for this shift in responsibilities. I've been here ever since our launch onto Early Access all those years ago and have beared witness to an extraordinary amount of generosity, dedication and kindness from our truly awesome community! I look forward to being able to interact with you all on a more personal level and can't wait to see what the future holds.
@dire tendon, Squasher of Bugs & Master of the Keyboard Stream View has ascended to the role of Lead Programming Wizard.
I'm proud to be part of the team, since the beginning I felt a very unique feeling and connection. Everyone is so talented and nice, we all aim for the best quality and the best of ourselves. My desire is always to be better for myself, the team and the game. This new chapter is a great responsibility for me, I'm really thankful to be trusted with something so important and I'm always going to do my best. Now is a important time for the game as it is a transition era, a new game so to speak (EVRIMA), lots to be done but I'm confident that with the team we have we will achieve greatness.
@waxen nebula, Destroyer of Programmer's Hopes & Dreams has been bumped up to management after hypnotising Don.
Having been relegated to my new position, I am now in a much better spot to coordinate between management and our programmers to ensure that the pacing of the game's updates meet the demands of our playerbase. Going forward, I'll be able to determine when it's critical for the team to push for a hotfix rather than leaving game breaking bugs in for an extended period of time, or whether we can spend more time polishing things up for a larger content push. This includes much better coordination between the community via bug reports, my QA team and the programming team via our enhanced bug tracker.

@everyoneIslanders,
Let me start out by saying the TLDR of "I'm taking a break." It'll sound bad at first, but I believe in enough transparency for people to understand, so hang in there with me.
It's been years since I started The Isle as a backlogged thought, busily jot down in a composition notebook in an apartment so close I can quite literally throw a rock from where I am sitting and land it on the patio where it all began. In some ways we as a community have come so far that I can look back and can't measure the distance from where we are now to where we began. Yet, in other ways I personally am still in the same place I started. I've thrown everything I can into this project from the moment we put pen to paper. I knew this is what I wanted and where I wanted to go with it. Some of the time it's been easy and sometimes it's been difficult beyond compare.
The problem I'm faced with is that I have thrown all of my heart and soul into the project and absolutely nothing else has received fair treatment from me. I've grown as a developer, but not really as a person. I don't really have a life or reality outside of The Isle and my silent projects. For five years I've attempted to take breaks from development and they last no longer than a day or two before I find myself doing work because it's simply all I know how to do. I've sacrificed family, friends, and time for the benefit of the project, because I believed the project deserved all of my attention. However, I ultimately have to admit that I'm at the limit of attention I can give without breaking down entirely. Inevitably life goes by and I've dismissed it for the sake of work, and there are things I have on the table I cannot dismiss and things I have to repair or let go.
It's taken me over five years to reach empty on the tank. A bizarre piece of me wants to boast that fact, but ultimately I'm ashamed to acknowledge that I was capable of ignoring important matters such as love, friends, and family, for five years. My mental state is exhausted to the point of poor functionality when it's there at all. It's destroying me as a man and dehabilitating me as a developer. I need to step away for a while, placing faith in my team to carry out directives that I know will continue the project forward while I take time to repair myself. I'm leaving you in capable hands far better than my own; I know everything will be alright.
You all be good,
What does this mean for you? Not much will change for you guys other than Don's presence. Our management team has been making executive decisions that keep the wheels on the bus turning and have created the space for Don to take some much needed time to work on himself, while we keep making really cool stuff for you guys. The Chairman isn't dead, he's not abandoning the ship with his dirty dino money and leaving us all to rot.
Kissen and Myself have been asking him to get things together for some time now so he can focus on himself, while the rest of our management team executes on the vision he's outlined for us.
In the words of a much wiser man than I, "Don't Panic." Kissen, Punch, Hypno, Filipe and Myself will keep delivering and keep things moving forward.
We would appreciate and I personally, would appreciate if you guys would respect that Don is taking some time for himself. He's left us with the keys to the kingdom and while I know that his post is going to get some folks spun up and that's just an unavoidable aspect of being open about any changes of a personal nature, there's no cause for concern.
Thanks for the support gang and here's to a bright future!

Hey Islanders, for the sake of honesty and transparency I'd like to take a minute to let you all know that we're aware of the rumors being propagated against a member of our staff and that we're currently in the process of exploring all available avenues to both correct the fallacies brought about by this situation and defend those that are impacted by it. While this is actively being worked upon, we ask that you remain respectful and decent in the community Discord and other social media outlets, and would also strongly urge for you to stay away from any and all involvement with those trying to instigate, propagate, or otherwise take advantage of the scenario with a negative result or malicious intent in mind.

Hey gang, as a continuation of our effort to be more transparent with our development process I figured I'd share an image showcasing some (not all) of the outstanding issues that our team is diligently working to solve.

In regards to the claims involving ParadymShift, we are placing him on leave from The Isle pending the outcome of a legal investigation into the events alleged to have occured in 2015 and the circumstances therein.

Statement from Don Wittich III (Dondi), Director, The Isle issued on 8/7/20
The last few days have been an eye-opener to The Isle and our greater Isle community as accusations against a contractor’s personal actions that allegedly occurred years prior to him contracting with our company have come to light. While an internal investigation shows no improprieties during the individual’s interaction with our company or within our community, we have accepted the termination of his contract. The individual continues to deny any wrongdoing, and we wish him well going forward.
As an industry, several stories of inappropriate interactions and behaviors (current and years past) have finally been coming out. Members of our own community have regrettably been on both sides of this pervasive culture, and I have personally not been immune to negligence in my delivery style, which can be interpreted as cyberbullying.
We agree it’s past time for a systematic change. With this acknowledgement, The Isle is talking with experts to review our policies and protocols to promote positive actions and ensure the continued safety and enjoyment to all within our community. Systemic change of the culture throughout the gaming community won’t happen overnight, but by being honest with ourselves and by identifying and implementing new norms and expectations, we hope a real and lasting change will be noticeable quickly.```Statement from Christopher Wistock (ParadymShift) issued on 8/7/20
I have consulted with legal counsel to protect me from those making false accusations and will fight to protect my personal reputation, and my livelihood.```Thoughtful Discourse
Dondi’s decision to remove himself from Discord is pretty simple. He is not leaving the project but when seeing a comment he doesn’t like, Dondi’s first impulse is to respond quickly, emotionally and at times, aggressively. By removing the ability to quickly reply, it will allow for a more thoughtful and measured response when appropriate. Dondi also saw friends in his personal discord being harassed due to their friendship with him, so he chose to delete it for their sake as well.
Hopefully this decision helps reset the level of respectful discourse going forward. If The Isle hopes to promote positive actions, this is one small step towards removing some toxicity within discussions and keep our community fun and safe for all to participate in.```@everyone Evrima Patch 0.4.14.07 has now been released! See the link below for the full changelog:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/TheIsle/announcements/detail/5000638138681844609
Update 0.4.14.07
A lot of this past month for QA has been testing the new AI in development by amar0k. Unfortunately, however, the AI has to be delayed for this patch whilst we work to resolve some significant issues. The main reason for this is because the spawning system they currently use seems to have a huge performance hit on servers, resulting in players being unable to interact with each other (pounce stops working entirely, for example) and characters teleporting around. As well as this, we have run into a few issues which include, but aren't limited to, the AI occasionally being invisible in various circumstances, the AI losing aggro very quickly if it cannot reach a player, and the AI becoming stuck in water sources, making for easy and unrewarding kills.
Whilst we know that AI is a long awaited addition, we believe that performance should always come first in these scenarios, especially given the time it has taken for the update to be prepared for release.

We've opted to go with a public trello board for ease of use and accessibility. Therein, you'll find cards that outline our intentions for each update push we have planned. Which include but are not limited to playable characters and their features, AI, new mechanics, new locations, story elements etc. Below I'll outline some features of the new roadmap and how to utilize them:
Roadmap: https://trello.com/b/G5tsb4XI/public-roadmap
We'll use the Utahraptor AI card for our example.
Above the name of each card you'll see a selection of colour-coded flairs, which you can expand by left clicking on. These flairs are a quick way to indicate the progress of a specific item without having to click on the card itself and upon doing so will also expand the flairs underneath every card.
Left click on the image or text of a card to open it, from there you can see a description of the feature which describes our design intentions. Scrolling down you can see that each card comes with a checklist indicating where that feature is in our pipeline, allowing everyone to follow along with development as things progress. Now you'll know where and what we're working on, hopefully serving as a useful indicator as to when an update may be nearing release. Do note that some of the items in the checklist involve multiple elements. Due to that, it will only be checked off if all of those elements are complete.
I'd also like to mention that our Phase 2 posts will continue, besides our social media channels it's the perfect place to showcase gifs, images and other tidbits that otherwise wouldn't fit on our roadmap. Thank you all for your patience and we look forward to your feedback!

@everyone Hello Replicants,
We understand your concern on our silence in regards to the current ongoing hacking issue that has plagued the live legacy branch. We want to thank you for your patience, as it was entirely necessary to stay tight-lipped while we gathered as much information as possible before moving forward with a plan of action. Acknowledging it the moment it cropped up as opposed to now was that instead of banning one or two perpetrators, we have allowed numerous individuals and entire communities to step forward and expose their absolute disregard for the community at large.
We understand that for our honest players, there is an undeniable frustration that will come to pass while we endure the activities during the pursuit of a resolution. These individuals and communities that have been identified are now on a limited lifespan in The Isle as a whole. The development team is taking its time to ensure that we do not miss a single entity and permanently expunge their presence, along with that of their servers, services, and those that assisted them. This also includes the communal leadership that suggests former development staff have given them tools which made these exploits possible in the first place.

Hello Islanders,
As many of you know, we made a statement last month that acknowledged the ongoing hacking issue in Legacy and laid out our steadfast resolve to rectify the cheating issues. I've come to tell you that time is no longer their ally, the ever ticking clock has finally run out and we're ready to start deploying our initial countermeasures, expect to see them roll out shortly.
In order to prevent confusion or misguided expectations, I'd like to make it extremely clear that we are not actively developing the Legacy branch, merely maintaining it. Meaning that whilst our development focus is still on EVRIMA, we'll be tearing out the hackers as if we were tending to weeds within our garden.

It's the day you've all been waiting for, Update #2 has now been released! Make sure that you restart your Steam clients if the update is not visible, as well as ensure that you've set your Steam beta branch to EVRIMA.
I'd like to make you all aware that whilst the secret listed on our Public Roadmap is entirely feature complete, its in-game placement unfortunately missed our internal cut-off date for new additions, therefore it'll be delivered as part of a hotfix that we'll deploying sometime after Update #2's initial release. Also the server queue system will not be available in the initial release whilst we resolve a number of issues discovered by our diligent QA team.
Most importantly however, we're all extremely eager to hear your thoughts & feedback. If you encounter an issue whilst playing please be sure to submit a bug report, it goes a long way in helping us create the game we've all been dreaming of.

@everyone Hey Islanders,
Just so you're all aware the slow stamina regeneration encountered in the previous EVRIMA patch was not an intentional change, rather the side effect of a bugfix which we've now completely resolved. I'd also like to mention that the secret listed on our roadmap is still scheduled to be delivered in an upcoming hotfix as planned, as we're fresh out of the weekend and have focused our efforts on resolving issues and evaluating community feedback to further improve the overall gameplay experience.
With this update comes a standardization to the hunger and thirst values. Currently, every species is set to starve after 45 minutes and dehydrate after 30 minutes. It must be made abundantly clear that these are not set in stone, as we recognise that this would make it far too easy for some of our characters to grow. This is the process that has been decided on by QA, so that we could have every species capable of surviving, while also giving the team more time to finetune each class so that their values aren't tedious to manage but also not too easy to survive on - this is a survival game after all!
We've also doubled the amount of AI present on the servers, should it result in any performance issues rest assured that we'll be swift in resolving it.

@everyone
Hey Islanders,
So that we're all on the same page and to prevent the spread of any potential misinformation, it is important to assert that Update #3 is not releasing in January. Any estimations you may see in discussion channels or elsewhere, are merely that, estimations. Any official release dates/timeframes we supply, will be announced and made clearly visible and accessible across all of our information outlets and social media for your convenience.
As for Update #3 itself, we've made significant progress and are enjoying some of the new interactions stemming from it. We are making sure that we take all the time necessary to properly flesh out these two entirely new gameplay styles (Flight/Aquatic) coming to The Isle. Simultaneously we've been working tirelessly to identify and resolve the desync issues that plague the current version of the EVRIMA Public Branch. So in the interest of ensuring gameplay stability we'll be looking to deploy a hotfix as soon as possible with the aim of resolving them.
To help us do so more swiftly, we'll be temporarily opening up the QA Branch to the public and enlisting the aid of the community, so we can increase our stress testing slots with as many willing souls as possible. With your assistance we'll be able to squash these issues in no time!
Branch Swapping:
In the dropdown menu select "Quality Assurance Branch" and your game will begin updating to the latest available version of that branch.```
**NOTE: Please be aware that server slot availability is limited for this test, as we'll be hosting two one-hundred slot servers that we'll be actively monitoring. Also keep in mind that you should not join these servers expecting a stable play experience, it's a testing server. **
```Official EVRIMA QA - EU
Official EVRIMA QA - NA```Just putting this here for the people who are skipping through the text.
This test does not contain any new content, it's merely a performance/desync test.

Hey Islanders,
We'd like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has been participating on the Quality Assurance Branch, with your assistance we've identified a number of bugs pertaining to server performance, crashes and bleed/scent issues. The Quality Assurance Branch will remain open while we fix those issues (and anything else that may arise). Our goal is to have these issues stomped out within a week, after which we'll be moving those fixes over to the normal EVRIMA Public Branch and diverting our full focus back to Update #3.
Below I'll leave a little summary of what we're looking to solve, for easy viewing.
- Crashes
- Bleed not healing
- Scent particles not disappearing```Hey Islanders,
We're pushing a patch to the Quality Assurance Branch to see if we alleviate some of the reported issues. Be sure to restart your Steam client if you do not see any available updates.

Hey Islanders,
If you're encountering an issue about a missing .exe whilst attempting to launch the QA branch, simply navigate to your game files and rename "TheIsleClient.exe" to "TheIsle.exe" (without the " "). Alternatively you can also wait until we push another patch that will fix it.
From there simply rename TheIsleClient.exe to TheIsle.exe and your game should launch as normal.```Hello Islanders,

Our stress test for Update #3 is now live. We'd like to start off by taking the opportunity to thank everyone for their continued patience and support as we toil away on the final stretch of Update #3.
While we understand that many of you are eager to dive headfirst into the stress test, we'd like to properly temper expectations by making it extremely clear from the get-go that the stress test is an important event to help us identify and eliminate any issues that may only arise within servers that are filled to their maximum capacity. Please be aware that during the test you are likely to encounter bugs, missing or not yet fully functional features, performance issues and limited server availability. We expect the stress test to last for one - two weeks. If you're looking for an optimal play-experience we recommend waiting for the full release of the upcoming update.
In order to participate in the stress test, check the link below for more information!

Also so that you don't need to scroll all the way down for the creature controls.
The Deinosuchus.
Ctrl in water - Swim downwards.
Hold RMB when waterwalking (walking on the bed of water sources) - Big lunge. Used to grab targets to drown them. Only effective on targets half your weight or less, otherwise causes you to be staggered.
Hold RMB on land - Small lunge. As above, but doesn't launch as far and costs more stamina.
Tap RMB when swimming - Water boost. Used to rapidly launch yourself to your fastest swimming speed.
Passive - Water Sense. Used for detecting nearby movement in water.
Hold Q while underwater - Enhanced Water Sense. Used to detect movement in water at a further range. The longer the key is held, the further you can sense. In order to use regular scent you must be above the surface of water.
The Deinosuchus cannot eat food while underwater. The Deinosuchus must rise to the surface of water or be on land in order to do so.```
**The Pteranodon.**
```Hold Spacebar while stationary - Stationary take off. Used to launch yourself into the air to fly.
Hold Spacebar while sprinting - Running take off. Costs less stamina than the stationary take
off but takes longer to get into the air.
Hold Spacebar while flying - Fly upwards.
Hold Ctrl while flying - Fly downwards.
Hold Shift while flying - Fly faster at an increased stamina cost.
Hold Z while flying - Air break. Used to slow yourself down in order to land safely.
Hold RMB while flying close to a water source - Skim the water. Perform this action above ripples in water sources to catch fish. Release RMB when prompted to catch a schooling fish.
The Pteranodon cannot swallow food while flying.```(Switch to the Quality Assurance Branch.)
In order to participate in the stress test you'll need to swap your Steam beta branch:
Right click The Isle in your Steam library > left click Properties > Betas > in the dropdown menu select "Quality Assurance Branch" and your game will now automatically update to the latest available version.
If the Quality Assurance branch is not visible in your dropdown menu, simply restart Steam.
You can identify Official Stress Test servers by the names listed below:

@everyone Hey Islanders,
It's time for the release of our updated EVRIMA Roadmap, which is predominantly based upon what we have learned through both EVRIMA's development process, and Legacy's mistakes. The initial launch of The Isle focused on rapid introduction of playable dinosaurs with little to no diversity of playstyle or uniqueness.
Though the EVRIMA roster is much smaller, the terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial creatures all have base implementation complete and shared features. With our observations of the active state of the game, as well as what has shown to be the most positive receptions, we firmly believe primary development focus should be on mechanics, and not arbitrary roster expansion.
If you'd like a detailed description of the changes, please visit the Steam link beneath this post.

I'd also like to make it clear that unofficial servers are owned and ran by players of the game, they are not affiliated with The Isle itself or it's development team.

In preparation for Update #4, we're deploying a smaller patch ahead of the main update to combat a variety of issues that were present in the previous version of EVRIMA. This patch also includes a plethora of quality of life & balance changes that we'd love to gather community feedback on, that way the upcoming stress test for Update #4 can be predominantly focused on testing the new systems like Diets & Fractures.
More information regarding the upcoming stress test for Update #4 will be announced in the near future, so make sure to keep an eye out!

@everyone Hey Islanders,
Our Update #4 Diet Mechanic Test is now live. We're eagerly anticipating your feedback so that we can sculpt these systems into fun and rewarding gameplay loops. Please be aware that during the Diet Mechanic Test you are likely to encounter bugs, missing or not yet fully functional features, performance issues and limited server availability. If you're looking for a more optimal play experience we recommend that you wait for the full release of Update #4. We'd also like to make it abundantly clear that this is a Mechanic Test and not a Stress Test. The purpose of a Mechanic Test going forward is to evaluate the functionality of new mechanics in a populated but more focused testing environment where feedback is far easier to collect and utilize.
Feedback we're looking for:
Things we're working on:
What to expect:
There will be THREE available servers. Two of which are Linux hosted, so we'll be looking at any performance differences between the three servers.
Official UP4 - Mechanic Test - EU 2
Official UP4 - Mechanic Test - NA 1```
Initially the Dryosaurus will be the only available playable. As testing progresses we will be swapping in/out each playable as we receive player feedback on the above without having to worry about predators or other potential obstacles. As well as to monitor how the system handles overpopulation of a single species.
**If you'd like to participate in the Diet Mechanic Test you can do so by following the instructions below:**
Right click The Isle in your Steam library > left click Properties > Betas > in the dropdown menu select "Quality Assurance Branch" and your game will now automatically update to the latest available version.As for feedback pertaining to the Mechanic Test, please direct that to #885026244444442655 & #885026544689492018. Make sure to cross reference with what we're looking for above!

@everyone Hey Islanders,
Starting off; We'd like to extend a big thank you to everyone for their participation, patience and feedback throughout the Mechanic Test (MT) for Update #4. The Diet System is one of the cornerstone features of the dinosaurs and has changed a lot of the gameplay we've seen since its first iteration in the MT. We wanted an initial solitary species rollout and basic nutrient intake just to see how large swathes of players as the same species affects the spread of players across the island and also the average survival rate, which is also why we didn't introduce the carnivores until recently. Normally we tend to introduce things slightly too difficult and have to tune things down to an acceptable level and we didn't want an immediate forced negative player experience, so we decided to make things easier this mechanic introduction and see how player reaction is to something that may initially be too easy.
Pretty soon we'll be introducing some monitoring tools for official servers to further analyze player activity so we can visualize areas of the game that aren't being used which is great for level design, but also print out all of their stats at the time as well. This means we can see dinosaur species that are suffering from stat issues and aren't making it to adulthood frequently enough, or need dietary adjustments. The reason we feel this is so exciting is that aside from it being an analyst's dream for us, we can share these in development updates and you can visually see some of the information that influences our decisions.
Also, we are moving towards a visual system on the UI in relation to all current and future mechanic features to be less reliant on colors to assist those who have troubles identifying them. We are in early stages of that adjustment with a few possibilities that we are trying. These may or may not show in the MT depending on the final design, as we're exploring our options to keep the play experience looking natural.
As the MT has been ongoing and important to make sure there's a smooth rollout to the diet update, we are going to include the Pachycephalosaurus in the next MT patch for everyone to try as well, and possibly a small adjustment to the scent system to prepare for its final implementation. Thanks again to everyone who has and still is participating and giving their feedback.

Hey Islanders,
Just a small PSA to remind you all that our feedback channels are not for bug reports, as we've stated in the past. If you'd like to submit a bug, do so in #🐞-evrima-bug-reports-🐞 as it is then sent directly to our QA team for evaluation. Feedback channels are for telling what you think of Mechanics & Gameplay, as well as any suggestions that you'd like to share with us.

@everyone Hey Islanders,
It's time to stretch your legs, clamber out from beneath those bushes and explore a whole new environment filled with a wide array of exotic foliage and fauna. Compete for these new resources and gorge yourself on them to maximize your strength and secure a swift passage to adulthood with the all-new Diet System. Paired with the arrival of the island's latest inhabitant, Pachycephalosaurus, comes the new locational Fracture System. It's now more important than ever to pick your fights wisely, lest you find yourself at the mercy of an assortment of crippling injuries.
Remember that if you've been playing on the Quality Assurance branch you'll have to swap back to the EVRIMA Public Branch!
Also, if the update is not immediately available to download you'll likely have to restart Steam.

Hey Islanders,
Just a little Discord Safety PSA. As I'm sure many of you are well-aware, phishing scams and other kinds of malicious links have been rather prevalent throughout Discord in recent months. Always remember that no-one with legitimate intentions is ever going to contact you through Discord asking for personal/account information. On a similar note, you should never click a link or discord server invite that you didn't ask for. If it's from a friend, consider asking them a few questions to determine whether or not their account has possibly been hijacked.
You should also be aware that Discord themselves are never going to contact you through Discord to have you partake in any kind of survey, event or system. One of the best ways to protect yourself from these types of scams is to navigate to your Discord User Settings via the cogwheel at the bottom left > Privacy & Settings > untick "Allow direct messages from server members."
NOTE: This setting only applies to new servers that you join. To use this setting on servers you're already part of, right click a Discord Server Icon > Privacy Settings > untick "Allow direct messages from server members."

@everyone Hey Islanders,
Time to harness your creativity & shepherd unruly broods, for the long-awaited Update 5 is finally here. Leave your mark by personalizing your dinosaur with an assortment of new patterns and colors. The improved Skin System significantly builds upon its Legacy counterpart by providing more nuance, clarity, control and sharing options that will ensure you stand out from the rest of the herd. Keeping with the trend, the new Nesting System is also a marked improvement over its former version featuring courting, nest creation, nest management, hatchling interactions, nesting grounds and more. So invite your friends to your nest and see if you can help the next generation survive The Isle.
