[meager junco]

It’s mouth?

wait nvm just saw the mouth

[acoustic osprey]

[green crater]

OK hear me out

Tacos bring courpses to their burrows

[meager junco]

Smile big girl

[green crater]

[acoustic osprey]

nice, who made this

[meager junco]

She’s still our gal
I do hope for this design to return but I have a feeling matriarch isn’t the same

[meager junco]

I still don’t know!!!😓

[novel cedar]

maybe

[acoustic osprey]

i will help you

[meager junco]

I’ve been searching for a while, I want to thank them

Tyy!

[acoustic osprey]

https://www.deviantart.com/alukslice/gallery
likely this person
https://www.deviantart.com/alukslice/art/Typheous-Matriarch-888687321

they posted it
and it seems like has a very similar artstyle to their other stuff

i really want to say that this is a glance sheet, but it looks like it has nothing written on it
pain lol

[median furnace]

I mean they made ben canon , why not all the urukhai gifs from islediscussion

[meager junco]

Ty!

[hexed forge]

Erm

Theres nothing there

[meager junco]

@lethal moat

Wow just wow

2 matriarch arts and 1 tisso velo

There’s more but god, I wish I found him sooner

H dilo!

[hexed forge]

Looks amazing.

[meager junco]

Guy knows how to sketch

[acoustic osprey]

on top of the monitor...

[hexed forge]

Thats.. a really thick paper.. (I dont think its a paper)

[acoustic osprey]

it looks like a document

[fast forge]

It's just an ipad

[hexed forge]

Theres buttons and lights on the side of it

[acoustic osprey]

that light is from the monitor

the same light is on the right as well

[hexed forge]

The white lights

[acoustic osprey]

it is on the same slanted axis as the red light, no?

that could also be lumen artefacts from reflecting the 'object' on top of the monitor

[fast forge]

or just pixelation from the still image

will need to see it from another for me to be sure

[hexed forge]

Im not sure, but I doubt it

[acoustic osprey]

i just think it is a spiral binded book/document

with or without words

[median furnace]

dude you cant even see whats on it

you are so starved for lore bruh

[acoustic osprey]

we were talking about something similar before, a few days ago

even if it isn't a TCAM/MCAM

[low scarab]

Dude can I send you my art for tips 💀

This is glorious

[meager junco]

This is not me!

It’s some deviantart member who’s a fan of the concepts

[meager junco]

Here

He has more stuff, really good

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-gif-27224532

[acoustic osprey]

yeah...

[low scarab]

Appreciate it

[acoustic osprey]

but yeah
Reaper is fully blind by the looks of it

should there be a more unique name for the new/big DTA?

because this is the one that strains/sauropods would be in, right? forgot what Vis said in the dblog a month or two ago

And finally to top it all off, I’ve been working on the holding pen for sauropods and strains. I’ll hold off on showing until I’m happy with it, but when it’s ready I’ll have it passed through Phase Three. It’s a hulking structure that feels like the interior area could be its own level. And it’s almost, if not, twice the size of the DTA.

[hexed forge]

I mean

Vis called it a DTA himself, so uh, big DTA ! (devblog)

Very unique naming

[acoustic osprey]

i know
but i mean
DTA and DTA is very confusing

[hexed forge]

Big DTA, small DTA, medium DTA

[acoustic osprey]

because they're both DTAs

one is just GIANT and used for big ones
the other one is 'normal'

[hexed forge]

Hyper DTA

[acoustic osprey]

was gonna say... bit like what we call the fences

[hexed forge]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

I'm fine with either
big DTA
Mega DTA
Strain DTA
or
Hyper DTA

[fast forge]

tbh probably built for sauropods before hypers

[acoustic osprey]

i mean
it is in the same vein as hyper fences

not because 'for hypers'
but because it is big

[fast forge]

isn't hyper fence just a fan name?

[acoustic osprey]

^

the only reason why we say it is because it is big

and it was given comparison next to a H Rex

but also Don says it internally as well
not that it is the actual name

if anything
just a perimeter wall/fence
or just fence

[hexed forge]

yeah lol

[fast forge]

The true perimeter is the friends we ate along the way

[acoustic osprey]

[hexed forge]

Saul Goodman !!

[acoustic osprey]

woah

[sly merlin]

Well. This is a nice surprise.

[acoustic osprey]

quite so

[lethal moat]

Those feet are so strange, what advantages do they provide

[meager junco]

Idk if you saw in lorecord but 45 suggested maybe it really acts like a bat and hangs upside down

[valid geyser]

alongside that, if we're under the impression that the "resting" muscles are it being curled in like that, it would likely provide an incredible grip on a variety of objects, especially considering how sharp it is.

hanging from branches or using them to hold onto branches would certainly work quite well, but it could also use its feet to latch onto animals while its hands and teeth tear whatever it latched onto apart

[meager junco]

Oh hey crow
And yeh, I like the idea of it being bat like in general
With the blindness and the ears, it’s most likely using echolocation of sorts
The feet themselves seem to be used for hanging
The wing flaps most likely for gliding, not exactly flying but not far off

[valid geyser]

hello!!
yeah, a more bat-like reaper is such a cool idea to me
I just ponder how it'd be reflected in game

i havent kept up with lore in a hot minute, is this planned to be playable to our knowledge?

[meager junco]

Nothing is known….

[valid geyser]

damn..

[meager junco]

But if they’re gen 1 related, maybe

[lethal moat]

That's what I'm going to assume until told otherwise

[hallow ruin]

im pretty positive
there is some shared triats, most prominant is the hands/fingers

[acoustic osprey]

that is nice! I hope you are very positive
being happy is good!

[hallow ruin]

no im not really posi.. but i was being specific- man never mind

[acoustic osprey]

oh

[delicate verge]

seems like those back ones are curled, maybe to avoid getting dull? similar to omni's raised toe? since we see them extended in one of the side images

though with those gangly limbs definitely seems like a tree climber / underarms serve as a way to angle descent when launching off a tree

so yeah.. hang upside down, and drop off, like herra?

i'm seeing herra + ptera + bat + raptor + human

[hallow ruin]

im seeing I_rex too

[delicate verge]

i choose the believe the little spines are from psitacco

[median furnace]

the whole thing is a giant deadly bat so yeah propably

i feel like the echolocation is more and more possible

maybe it says im vengeance after all

ive never made a humanoid model before

maybe i should give it a try

[acoustic osprey]

why

[median furnace]

humans are weird dude

very weird most artists agree on that

[strange shell]

It screams "I'm vengeance" into the void and listens to the echo to locate its prey

[median furnace]

exactly what i was thinking when i said that lmao

[acoustic osprey]

PUB

[frozen totem]

Its obviously humanoid, but at the same time, it features way more reptilian trates than the gen1

[median furnace]

what can i say

replicator likes reptiles

[frozen totem]

yeah ig

tisso reaper is certainly a cave dweller and nocturnal though

[median furnace]

not sure about the cave part , those back claws are propably handy with branches

oversized bat

maybe it just eats fruits

that would be funny lol

[snow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-6105638

[alpine lynx]

climbing maybe

[alpine lynx]

we don't know that tho

[frozen totem]

yeak ik

[nimble fractal]

Those are most likely talons to catch prey
Similar to owl's and other hunter birds

Or can be used as a weapon when kicking prey with legs

[median furnace]

yall better upvote in #phase-three-requests

[fast forge]

A reversed hallux is a sign of branch-perching in birds, iirc

that condition where two toes point forward, two point backward

In birds of prey it does increase the ability to catch prey
This is because you have claws coming from either side of the target, decreasing the ability to slip away from any given claw and escape

The idea that tisso reaper is some weird reptilian bat is so cool

I hope that in gameplay it can climb like a herrera (or Gen 1) and climb under a branch to hang from it, and that's how it sleeps/logs out (if playable)
Just hanging from a jungle tree limb like a forest bat

Oh here's a fun word of the day: Patagium
The stretch of skin under the arms is a patagium

[median furnace]

it has insane traps tho

lats too

its def built for climbing thats for sure

long arms long legs slender build

[stiff lintel]

The equipment, especially the computers are from the 90s. However there isn't much foliage covering the buildings. I would say the game takes place a few years after whatever incident took place or after Apollo left the island.

[median furnace]

yea personally my estimate is mid 2000s

[muted reef]

Everything looks too overgrown to be that recently after the incident

I think it's a good 30-40 years later

Modern day

[median furnace]

could be engineered plants grow faster , like everything else ae makes

[muted reef]

Doubtful

There is still a date in a sheet that is blurred over...that looks to say the game takes place next century, but it is super hard to tell and probably not likely

[median furnace]

Show me

[lethal moat]

I do not trust this, but this is what people made of the Errant 291 report

[median furnace]

global warming would kill anyone wouldnt it

[lethal moat]

Eventually

[median furnace]

i heavily doubt its so far in the future dude

[snow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-carrey-jimcarrey-truman-burbank-the-truman-show-gif-2282329544410441356

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah but...

[median furnace]

but but but but whatz

[snow ermine]

NA3 crash right when i engage a dibble

[median furnace]

okay

[ornate comet]

Once again asking if anyone has the current roster size comparison imagine with the guy and the dog in the middle

[frozen totem]

Same, definitely not that far with the conditions of the buildings

[stiff lintel]

The buildings are in extremely good condition

[frozen totem]

exactly

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[acoustic osprey]

Kinda
But that is for now

We know the plan is more weathering

[lethal moat]

Same 2010s-2030s is my estimate

[ornate comet]

can i....have the pic lol

[lethal moat]

I wonder if various islands are in various levels of decay

[mental lichen]

Dont somethin in the isle say it was 1994-1999

[hexed forge]

Likely

Since we know there were multiple incidents and not just one big "boom"

At least I hope so

Gameplay and lorewise

[lethal moat]

One of the startup screens on the living roadmap

[mental lichen]

Ye

Yk what ever happened to the cannibals and H types

[lethal moat]

Cannibal's replacment

Ignore the 5th one

That one's in there by accident

And type H

[mental lichen]

Hell* yea dude! Awesome!
Tho knowing this game they'll probably stay concept art XD

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/you-sure-really-what-seriously-gif-13633891

[mental lichen]

I hope not XD

[lethal moat]

You see the tissoplastic reaper concept?

[mental lichen]

Nyope but i'd love t-

Oh yes i have, horrifying monztrousity

Tho ngl, i kinda prefered the old cannibals in the aviary type thing, probably from nostalgia
But god its cool all the new stuff

[lethal moat]

There are similarities

[mental lichen]

Bit more batlike but still humanoid

Yeah, and i do think that'd make sense for a cave creature,

From what i saw of the more modern lore it kinda reminds me of what zootopia and that vita carnis analogue horror in a way, yk?

[muted reef]

Looks promising so far

Thinking about what you'll do playing these guys confuses me...we kinda know the gimmick of gen 2...but what gives for these guys?

[mental lichen]

Yea i saw, pretty cool tho

[mental lichen]

Huntin'

[muted reef]

It's so trippy seeing stuff that never came to the game finally coming

[mental lichen]

FR

[muted reef]

Humanoid herrera niche seems mid...theres definitely more involved with the replicator and crafting I'm betting

[mental lichen]

Huh?

[muted reef]

There is a theory that they do stuff for the replicator...to become greater...perchance become a strain?

[mental lichen]

The "replicator"?

[muted reef]

You have much to learn

[mental lichen]

Dude i dont remember anythin about the lore since like 2019?

[muted reef]

It's what's used to create the dinosaurs

A collection of systems

And the Gen 1 worship it

They know where they came from

[acoustic osprey]

To be fair
Not really a theory

[muted reef]

More of a confirmation?

[acoustic osprey]

More so Don actually said so

But this was like 2-3 years ago

[mental lichen]

Xool

[acoustic osprey]

Why

[muted reef]

Yay

[knotty locust]

god i love seeing this

thats genuinely so badass

[buoyant berry]

I have a theory about humans: They are just 3 troodons in a trench coat.

https://tenor.com/view/mace-windu-gif-12407941654965721893

[wraith maple]

probably.

[wraith maple]

2 troodons would be tall enough 3 would be too tall.

[acoustic osprey]

<@&933486433342222376>

Elon musk wouldve nuked it

[median furnace]

I love the new hyper rex i wish we got to see the model

[acoustic osprey]

<@&933486433342222376>

[frozen totem]

In rumple's image wall there are 2 images of the gen1 models

parts of them anyways

[median furnace]

Anyone got full res reaper concept? Pls

[buoyant flume]

What?

[median furnace]

Nvm i found it

[frozen totem]

this handsome fella

[buoyant flume]

very handsome

Is the isle lore like you're in a dome like ark?

[unborn gorge]

genuine question, are these just concept art for the fun of it?

I thought most of that lore got left with legacy but its still cool as hell

[buoyant flume]

I dont think they would pay for concept art for the fun of it

[hexed forge]

No.

[buoyant flume]

I remember flying high on time and seeing a dome above the island

[hexed forge]

They are planned to come to the game so, I dont think its for the fun of it.

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/orange-cat-cat-side-eye-cat-side-eye-orange-cat-staring-gif-4749659952322810298

Probably just a world border

No lore correlation, just there for gameplay

[buoyant flume]

Might just be a broken skybox

[unborn gorge]

ah alright, obviously going to be a ways off but could be a cool horror game someday

[hexed forge]

Ah wtf lmao

Thats weird

But yeah no lore correlation

[unborn gorge]

dinosaur truman show right there

[buoyant flume]

yes lmfao literal dome

[hexed forge]

Omniraptors stuck in a truman show

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/fingers-crossed-i-hope-so-please-please-gif-19730905

[buoyant flume]

Only appears if you go super high just some broken texture I think

[hexed forge]

yup

[buoyant flume]

it is funny though

[unborn gorge]

what's the story behind the tissoplastic reaper? I vaguely remember anything anymore

they were made by like, some kind of ai or something the matriach? man I'm grasping at straws from my brain lmao

[hexed forge]

Tissoplastic Reaper is a humanoid Strain presumably(Theory) "evolved" from a simple gen1 specimen similar to how dinosaurs change into their strain forms.

Most likely all AE assets are made by The Replicator, is it an AI? We dont know. But Gen1s worship it and sacrifice things.

[median furnace]

thats unloaded shaders of a skybox! yay ue5 missing textures do that

[narrow furnace]

Will all dinos have strain forms?
I think there was 3 types right?

[median furnace]

hyper tisso neuro so far

[narrow furnace]

Ty

I wonder if it will be a thing for all dinos? 🤔

Because what does
Hyper
Tisso
Neuro do? Except for physical appearance ofc

[hexed forge]

Three types of strains only and we don't know if all will have them. But there is no longer a reason for Herbivores to not have them.

[median furnace]

neuros are slimy mind beaming electromagnetic fielding weirdos

[narrow furnace]

To not have them, so herbivores will also have it? Niceee

[median furnace]

they can telephatically (maybe) talk to other species

for the sake of development sanity only some playables will have them prolly

[narrow furnace]

Probably yea
Would be cool if everyone had it tho, but obviously balancing, models, takes time

[median furnace]

and if even they will be very very hard to get

[narrow furnace]

Of course but having a good grind, and having a possibility of being really strong, is something everyone wants to achieve

[median furnace]

from what we know , you have to be a very good elder and even then you have to do something we dont know what

[hexed forge]

Potentially

[median furnace]

hyper pachy would be baller lmao

[narrow furnace]

True!

[median furnace]

you will most likely have a better chance at becoming a strain on a free admin server

[narrow furnace]

What if I was to kill and eat a hyper raptor as a elder raptor, and then get their hypo blood mixed with mine, and overtime get stronger

[median furnace]

doubt you could do that

hyper raptor has 2 sickle claws if they intend to keep the old model

[narrow furnace]

Ok people will get mad at me for saying this but people get ticked off because of The Isle having gens and strains and weirdness, but that's what makes The Isle unique and if it was intended to have such things in official servers, count me in

Having admin control is cool, but I have seen many servers with admin abusers, that's my only problem with unofficial

But then again, Trex and Trike won't be in official servers....

[narrow furnace]

The reaper was supposed to have something like this too right?

[median furnace]

the arm sickles are gone

anyways , these cables are giant

[narrow furnace]

That's a big cable 💀

[low scarab]

im still so jubilant about the new acts of God

it gave me a shot of hope lol

[narrow furnace]

Huh?

Is there like a document or something that gets updated constantly with lore and concepts by any chance?

[median furnace]

not really theres that lore doc in pins but its kinda confusing

[hexed forge]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J3FnAzKdtmlIYzTfgSlevTgGLcn8h-Zaxlqn3WEicVw/edit

[narrow furnace]

Aaah
Some Isle lore addicts should make one

[hexed forge]

We did, I just posted it

[narrow furnace]

Oh I see 😱

Let your ears be graced by this song

[narrow furnace]

Ok 👀

[frozen totem]

these aren't nearly as far off though, presumably

[unborn gorge]

Im just curious as to how they'll function and what purpose they'll serve from a gameplay perspective
cool concepts and awesome lore aside am I gonna get ripped to shreds by vampires trying to survive?
I am legend but with dinosaurs does sound pretty dope

[frozen totem]

They worship the ai/machine/technological complex that creates every creature on the island(called the Replicator). They sacrifice things to said Replicator which very well could be you

[muted reef]

Crane when did you come back

[frozen totem]

When punch graced my eyes with this beauty

[muted reef]

Close to a week ago

[frozen totem]

yep

you just didnt notice ig

[muted reef]

You've only got one server left to claim back

[frozen totem]

nah i get lore from here im fine

[unborn gorge]

as AI or playables?
that sounds interesting I suppose, more danger is fun but I guess I won't be getting any details on ideas that are still in the production pipeline

[frozen totem]

playables, there is even a generation one option on the spawn menu

they're called generation one

[frozen totem]

many ideas are probably pretty solidly formed by don by now, he just hasn't said much about them

[unborn gorge]

surely they find a way to finally increase the official server cap once we get playable humans & gen1s
server slots being taken up by them would kinda suck with the 100 cap and seeing dinosaurs less and less

[unborn gorge]

my favourite out of the entire dev team

[frozen totem]

eh, not as big of a problem as you might think

although I do think 120 person slots are a good idea for officials

[unborn gorge]

definitely at least 120, I think 100 is fine but even then the map is a big expanse and having parts of population numbers being taken away by other playables sounds like it would suck
but the team has impressed me time and time again so I'll let em do their thing cause lord knows I want to abduct dinosaurs and feed them to an imaginary god

[frozen totem]

manmade 'god'

[unborn gorge]

the replicator sounds lame, im gonna call him sanguine and personify the AI overlord

[frozen totem]

nah replicator is peak

[unborn gorge]

gives me stargate vibes with those little replicating headcrab things

[fallow harbor]

isn’t evrima a temp name and don said he hated it

when are we getting the new name

or is it just the isle

[frozen totem]

just the isle

[hallow rover]

now im curious as to why you were banned

[frozen totem]

i said today and got muted

[acoustic osprey]

Evrima just means 'discovery' in greek
it is not the proper name for the game/game mode

it'll change (back to just main branch/the isle) once they feel like it is ready for Evrima to be the main branch

[hallow ruin]

it is

[buoyant flume]

I WANT DOME

[acoustic osprey]

no DOME

[hexed forge]

Will feel weird to be the "OGs" that will be calling it Evrima. The new generation of isle players will just call it The Isle..

[acoustic osprey]

i mean there are people who get confused on the sight of 'spiro' as another branch
they think it is just another dev game branch...

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/guardians-of-the-galaxy-rocket-raccoon-crying-pain-gif-5914072486607539335

[muted reef]

Then they'll make none "legacy"

[hexed forge]

Or just wipe it.

[muted reef]

I doubt they'll wipe it as soon as evrima becomes main branch

[hexed forge]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-kill-fuego-matar-incendiar-gif-5307315

[hexed forge]

Probably not

[fast forge]

apparently islemaps got an update

doesn't include the new waterfall area but it's still good

[fast forge]

I say leave it, and let it die a slow death in obscurity instead of dying and becoming a martyr

If players can't access legacy they'll forget how bad it is, and they'll develop a distorted retrospective

if you leave legacy up, they can always go back and are slapped in the face with reality

Also for the few players that would like to play, I say why not let them

[hexed forge]

If it takes any sort of resources to keep legacy up, kill it

If it takes nothing
And it just exists
Keep it

[fast forge]

they don't have any servers for it right?

what else would it require?

[hexed forge]

No clue
Just saying

But I wouldn't be angry if they remove it

[stiff lintel]

Does anyone have the unedited file of Errant?

[stiff lintel]

I remember someone saying that the date was in the 2100s. Though I doubt it.

[lethal moat]

I also doubt it's 2172

[stiff lintel]

Me personally, late 90s, possibly early 2000s is a reasonable date range.

[muted reef]

Most of the lore was in the 90s-2000s yes but the actual games date is up for debate

[stiff lintel]

Honestly, if there is collectible documents you can collect later on for better lore understanding, it would definitely be something I would go out and do. Especially if you could read it in the main menu.

[muted reef]

Boot up computers and find passwords for files across the map

[stiff lintel]

Make it to where only humans can access it. Obviously.

[muted reef]

There is a mutation in the future letting dinosaurs read so...anythings possible

https://tenor.com/view/trex-pc-short-arms-gif-20891854

[stiff lintel]

I also hope humans play a lot like DayZ.

Leaning, Prone, Crouch, Having to load individual bullets into a magazine. Things like that.

[muted reef]

You listed 3 things coming to the game...2 that are in the game

[stiff lintel]

I know crouching and leaning are already in.

[muted reef]

Leaning no

Proning and crouching

And Don's talked about mags working like that before

First person is gonna be hell. Something that you can't see around the corner can see you around the corner

[stiff lintel]

I may not care about the extreme accuracy of the dinosaurs because they aren't even the actual animal.

Firearms are however a different story.

[muted reef]

Unless they bring back this (they wont)

[stiff lintel]

To be honest, I prefer first person anyway for humans.

[muted reef]

It's great for the horror vibe

[stiff lintel]

That is my main go to for games like SCUM and DayZ

[muted reef]

And yes

Imagine something the size of your hand that evolves off what it eats flying around dark tunnels, nibbling on rats and bugs until it finds something like a dilo or a troodon

[lethal moat]

Imagine any sort of asexual reproduction from any animal made from the replicator is a frightening thought

[green crater]

True

[acoustic osprey]

'oh, there's more of them...'

||basically the jp books in a nutshell, but still is a pretty painful and scary idea. Especially relating to creatures that technically don't truly 'exist' as natural entities anymore||

[lethal moat]

These things never naturally existed

[acoustic osprey]

especially when it comes from a machine-like entity ... than a more 'simple' little man-made production like in JP

[acoustic osprey]

technically yes and no

[green crater]

Frog filled genome vs the self aware machine

[lethal moat]

Is it self aware?

[acoustic osprey]

most of these creatures 'existed' to some degree in the past, of course
but this is way more fanatical (via the replicator and/or AE)

hence why they don't truly exist as natural entities anymore

the idea is there
but not the physicality of them

[green crater]

Actually not sure tbh

[acoustic osprey]

aye

[lethal moat]

I don’t think the replicator is sentient

[acoustic osprey]

but certainly a lot more complex
likely just not to the degree of an ASI

[lethal moat]

In reference to the matriarch, strains, or gen 1

Or other similar creatures

[acoustic osprey]

(hence most)

[acoustic osprey]

because somewhere within there, as we know, there has to be a lot more subsystems within
especially relating to (human) minds

via TOMB

[green crater]

I honestly love the thought that when humans are added that the customization mechanic is lore accurate of the machine picking parts of dna to create them

[acoustic osprey]

Oh God I hope we ain't getting customizing like Ark

[acoustic osprey]

nah, we ain't

[green crater]

The Replicator: it's perfect

[acoustic osprey]

of course
peak humanity

something interesting is that we have a general idea of the names/'thing' of things around the map (human stuff)

but, nothing of the sort for the new building in water access

i would really like to know what that area will be used for

because it clearly isn't a holding pen (the actual fenced in water section of the building)

because it has ladders walking into it

[green crater]

It definitely had something to do with research on aquatic species

Honestly, I'm suprised there isn't a structure in the Swamps (yet)

Not the tunnel

[acoustic osprey]

there is technically one
but just a tunnel entrance facing the atrium

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-sleepy-gif-9558558281283765110

[green crater]

XD

[acoustic osprey]

that is, a new tunnel entrance
the previous tunnel has a new model though... just untextured

[green crater]

Would be fun to sneak a smaller structure deep in the swamps

Imagine if you and some friends had to transverse the swamps to find it for resources or stuff

[stone spade]

I've actually found the merch picture lore

[fallen estuary]

beipia flew to isle and become dodo like idiot swamp jumpers

[fast forge]

you could give them that name, sure

Dinosauromorph is probably fine too

[ornate comet]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosauromorpha

Prob too similar to this

[median furnace]

yea thats what ive been thinking too

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[fast forge]

taxonomically yes, but for broad discourse on dinosaur-adjacent animals it wouldn't hurt anything

I suppose really the isle animals would be Psuedodinosauria

[ornate comet]

Aren’t these guys not really dinosaurs tho? All or mostly artificial

[ornate comet]

They really do deserve their own group

[acoustic osprey]

it is like saying 'human'
when they aren't technically humans (gen2s nor gen1s)

but for ease of talk
putting them under a 'human' category is just for ease

[fast forge]

the thing about taxonomic groups is that they are entirely organized around their relationships to other living animals, but we have no idea where AE sourced dna in making these things

[ornate comet]

It’s sourced from Ben, he is the pure being all playables descended from

[acoustic osprey]

woah

[fast forge]

Ben is the Ur-Genome

[ornate comet]

I do wonder how well they would survive off the island and what species would be able to establish a stable population

I think most small tiers would do kinda ok depending on the environment and competition

[fast forge]

Are the growth rates of these things to accurate? Tenos grow to full size in a matter of days, they would outcompete any other herbivore in their niche

In-game days I mean, not gameplay time

[ornate comet]

I kinda just assumed that was because of game mechanics

[acoustic osprey]

that is the thing...

[fast forge]

That's what I always assumed too

[ornate comet]

But then having a higher growth rate makes sense, maybe not like hatching to adult in days but like uhhh

Hatchling to full adult in 1 year give or take? Idk

[ornate comet]

Still need that size comparison image

[acoustic osprey]

why

[fast forge]

If they are truly like real-life comparable animals with longer growth times in lore than what is shown in game time, they may still be competitive with other wild animals

[acoustic osprey]

https://imgur.com/a/isle-fan-made-size-charts-2025-coF8yKs

[fast forge]

The very large animals would face a lot of pressure from humans, as humans are the greatest danger to animals like big cats, elephants, rhinos, etc

[ornate comet]

Thanks

[fast forge]

The smaller the animal, the more likely we'd see it spread around the globe

[acoustic osprey]

worry

[ornate comet]

Compy world domination

[fast forge]

Something like a compy would fill any climate where it can survive, but might be outcompeted by rats who can eat them during the vulnerable egg stage and can keep reinforcement populations in colder climates where compies don't go

[ornate comet]

On the flip side compies would love to hunt the abundant rodent populations usually found worldwide

[fast forge]

Compies are pretty small and rats can be pretty big tbh

[ornate comet]

And if we take into account accelerated growth rate I feel like compies would mature at a similar rate to most mice and rats

[fast forge]

Compies are also more carnivorous than rats, and would struggle to eat human food the way rats can

Look

I'm 1tinydinosaur

I'm rooting for the compies

But rats are just so well adapted, it's an uphill battle

[ornate comet]

I think they could pull through

[fast forge]

Now if we had a climate similar to the mid cretaceous, things might swing toward compy just because of metabolism reasons

Rats do well in the current ice age (and we are in an ice age), but in a world without ice-capped poles I think compy can take the heat better

[ornate comet]

One day I’m gonna wake up and it’s gonna be like welp the interglacial period is over get ready for snow

Pteros would do well tho

[fast forge]

Ptero it's kinda like compy, better in a warmer climate
But birds are dinosaurs adapted to our current climate, so they'd win in our current climate

[ornate comet]

Ptero has the freedom to migrate to better climate areas

[fast forge]

Birds do that, wdym

[ornate comet]

Ik

I’m just saying they would be able to move to better areas and not be as confined as the compies

[fast forge]

and having a migratory season can even be harder to squeeze in, because then that's two (or more) ecosystems where you gotta find a place

[fast forge]

oh certainly yes, better than the compies

Flight is an amazing mechanism for species spread
Birds have made it to continental antarctica, where there aren't even land plants

[ornate comet]

Summer rolls around in North America and the pteros living in South America extend their range north a lot until it gets more chilly and they retreat

[acoustic osprey]

meanwhile Procomp in JP novel

[ornate comet]

Reminds me of the reasons there’s no northern penguins kinda

Most northern is Galapagos

[fast forge]

there was an equivalent, it's extinct

[ornate comet]

Auk moment

[fast forge]

the great auk filled the penguin niche in northern climates

[ornate comet]

I’m a conservation major, I’ve obsessed over all this stuff for years lol

[fast forge]

That's fair, my background tends towards zoology, ecology, and evolution

[ornate comet]

I love all that as well

[fast forge]

So, pteranodon

Pteranodon would be a good species for establishing itself out in the world, if not for one factor

humans

No humans, I could see ptera doing great

[ornate comet]

They’d prob be restricted to islands kinda like some seabirds. If they even made it that far with humans existing

I mean like breeding places

[acoustic osprey]

not with ptera stam they will

[fast forge]

erm, thermals
some seabirds basically never flap

[ornate comet]

Thermals suddenly exist

[fast forge]

https://tenor.com/view/pineapple-express-craig-robinson-matheson-i-seent-it-gif-5293998

[acoustic osprey]

find them in the ocean!!

[frozen totem]

they're genetic fusions of made up DNA

bam

[fast forge]

What is made up dna?

[frozen totem]

synthetic dna

a very real thing

[fast forge]

Okay what's that made of?

[ornate comet]

The code i put in my midterm is made up dna

[frozen totem]

pf, beats me

[fast forge]

So it's like this

DNA is like blueprints
You can have blueprints to a house (herrerasaurus), but what you build it from can differ

Did you use oak, cedar, or pine?

[frozen totem]

or fake wood

[fast forge]

In the same way, dna and the genetic machinery that surrounds it (RNA and proteins mostly) must be made from stuff that we know works for these purposes
Just like you can't use Jello instead of wood, you know you can't just insert random dna when you need a protein that performs a specific role

[ornate comet]

What do we think the biggest species that could realistically hold out on the mainland would be

[frozen totem]

mono

[fast forge]

depends what the world state is

[ornate comet]

https://tenor.com/view/fromyourblood-dna-im-here-gif-5231919

[fast forge]

what is the climate like?
how is humanity doing?

[ornate comet]

Well isn’t the isle set around the 1990s?

[acoustic osprey]

maybe

[ornate comet]

Walter with the huge answers

[fast forge]

Not exactly
The latest date we've seen is 1999, so it probably occurs after that point
We know they use CRISPR technology (a genetic engineering technique) that was pioneered in the 2000's (but maybe in this universe they developed it earlier idk)

[ornate comet]

Wellllll

[fast forge]

The Isle could be set in the year 443,225 for all we know

[ornate comet]

Unless we end up finding out some more stuff about the state of the world is it unreasonable to assume the world is doing pretty much the same as ours back then?

[fast forge]

That's the only starting point we have, but we also know climate plays a role in the actions of AE somehow
So that's the only reason I went down the line of "climate apocalypse" and a post-human world

[ornate comet]

Hmm

[fast forge]

in regards to this, I do think they developed CRISPR earlier than in our world, probably in the 80's or 90's

[ornate comet]

Well regardless of that fact, I’m thinking the best chance a larger species would have would be in remote rainforest, and if it was rarely encountered. Like how the okapi is so rare despite being comparatively kinda big

Prob have to be a herbie

[fast forge]

The thing about that is, it's not easy for a species to muscle their way into a full ecosystem

[ornate comet]

This is true

[fast forge]

Invasive species tend to take hold in areas of human development

or at least in places where we've knocked a few pegs out of the preexisting ecosystem

[ornate comet]

How about the cases of invasive species that are technically invasive, but are fulfilling a role that is absent in the current ecosystem due to extinctions

[ornate comet]

Oh yeah that’s kind what this is

For example, mustangs out in the west of the states. Their impact is still being gauged tho.

Plus it’s been a loooong time since horses were in America

So maybe that’s not the best example

[fast forge]

These are traits of invasive species

Look at our roster and see what fits those requirements

Herrera, compy, ptero, ptera

[ornate comet]

Gen 2 lmao

[fast forge]

lol yes gen 2

[ornate comet]

Hypsi?

[fast forge]

Gen 2 with their characteristic dispersal ability: Owning a passport

yeah sure hypsi, why not

[ornate comet]

By extension we gotta add homolo then

WAIT

minmi would survive

Also kinda unrelated but I’d love for certain small tiers to be able to rummage through garbage or dumpsters for some scraps at human bases

[proper musk]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-king-julien-mort-hes-going-savage-run-for-your-lives-gif-22951973

[fast forge]

Trifolium is just the genus for the common clover plant, so I don't think it was entirely created by AE. Apollan Trifolium is probably heavily modified regular clover

(also we know the model for the plants in game are not the final model, hopefully they will look like actual clover in the future)

[median shuttle]

Trifolium is a real plant, but Apollan Ktisis does roughly translate to “made by apollo”

Virus, bacteria, what is it

[ornate comet]

Genetic mutation I believe? @hexed forge yell at me if im wrong

[hexed forge]

All of the above are all possibilities

[hexed forge]

Definitely bugged then

[ornate comet]

steam subsystem down?

[fast forge]

Probably just genetic engineering, perhaps induced or introduced by an outside source (virus, food, mutagenic compound, etc)

Like the name 'Hyperendocrin' implies an accelerated endocrine system, resulting in enhanced growth and strength

I think the root of 'Tissoplastic' is just "plastic tissue", in the sense that it's tissue that is changeable and malleable. I know something in legacy mentioned tissue from a number of sources, so it could be a hybrid/chimera

'Neurotenic' doesn't really break down super easily. It's very close to "neurogenic" which kinda just means something that originated with the nervous system

Hypers are easily explained with genetic engineering regardless of the delivery mechanism, as genetics control endocrine output

Neurotenic similarly could just be an extension of nervous tissue throughout the body - something already controlled by genetics

Tisso is harder to explain. My reasoning is that tissos intake flesh to regenerate, and are tied to organ donation/transplantation

[acoustic osprey]

(but also potentially related to the electromagnetic spectrum... although not indiciated by the name, of course. I suppose.)

[fast forge]

So my idea is that they become an amalgam through action/behavior, and the genetic engineering just gave them the ability to do this (and be universal organ donors or something)

[acoustic osprey]

all i've written for what tenic could be though is

And Tenic - which has no official meaning (to what we know), but could relate to the Greek “tainiā”, which means “band” and then translates to any long, narrow, flat structure in the body. It is used in words like “syntenic”, which means “occurring on the same chromosome”.

[hexed forge]

hmmm

[acoustic osprey]

quite so

"Tenic - Of or related to Tenontosaurus"

[acoustic osprey]

YEAH!

[tough sluice]

Lore lords and ladies, can someone explain to me what the "hyper" dinos people occasionally talk about are referencing? Is this an old version of the isle lore, or the future?

I only played like 50-100 hours of legacy and don't remember them

[acoustic osprey]

both
Hypers (also known as Hypos) are the Hyperendocrins
basically creatures with a crazy 'endocrine' system
therefore super hormones
and therefore high growth, hunger, rage, etc

for example H Rex

Hypers are one of three strains we 'will' have in The Isle
Neurotenic and Tissoplastic being the other two

[tulip coral]

Hypos are essentially a strain that mutates dinosaurs into giant, powerful, armored, and insatiably hungry murder monsters

[acoustic osprey]

was that a purposeful 'hypo' sayings...

[tough sluice]

Were they ever actually playables in the older versions, or just concepts?

[acoustic osprey]

we recently got to see Tissoplastic Reaper (a human tisso) in the recent devblog

[muted reef]

Hypers were and Neuro spino was

[acoustic osprey]

as dev playables

[acoustic osprey]

^but as you can see here, you could play them

especially in Progression, which had H Rex as a playble

[tough sluice]

ahh okay, thanks 💜 I've been playing for so long and always reading chat, but never actually asked what they were.

[acoustic osprey]

no worries! Free to ask any more if and when interested

[tough sluice]

oh yeah, I didn't realize they were related (not familial) in that sense. I knew the concepts existed, but since the lore has changed so much over the different versions, I gave up trying to keep up and just focus on gameplay.

I mean yeah

Sherman 50 cal is the true apex predator

[stiff lintel]

That reddit is a cesspool that needs to be burned.

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[stiff lintel]

Especially the overly long completion dates or.. X dinosaur is gonna release in 2050. That is getting tiring.

[fast forge]

The thing that bugs me about that joke is that I don't think waiting 10 years for something is actually that long of a time, but that's because I'm old

[hexed forge]

[fast forge]

Like yeah, it's a long time

but it feels like a lot less time when 10 years isn't half your lifetime ago

idk I'm just saying people expect things to come so fast

but good things take time and patience

[stiff lintel]

In reality, Evrima has been in around the same amount of Time as Path of Titans.

[muted reef]

Redditors after making the same joke about updates taking a long time :

[stiff lintel]

The Isle reddit is a cesspool that needs to be dumped in a fire.

I enjoy Path, but every dino kinda feels the same. Just with different stats.

It's just legacy with a different style

i am done recording... 50 minutes worth of talking. Woohoo....
I'm hoping for the video ti be 20-30 minutes long

realised that it closely matches this oldish artwork

[ornate comet]

I yearn for plains like that

[acoustic osprey]

quite so

[ornate comet]

make west access kinda like that and im sold

[stiff lintel]

Camo like this would probably be invalidated by the pit organ mutation.

[hallow ruin]

WHAT WHEN WAS THIS SHOWN

[somber widget]

This is legit the first thing I've seen in this server thank you.

[stiff lintel]

Part of me hopes Gen 2s will be able to craft items.

[icy onyx]

eh even got the vampire from priest

yeah theres a lot of grey humanoid monsters out there

[knotty locust]

the camouflage shown in the stream though consists of digital camouflage rather than the traditional forest camouflage used here

[snow jasper]

i recently changed my wallpaper to that

i do hope we at least spawn with some sort of "beginner" kit, AE's cheapest and finest

( good idea to make backpack merch 👀 )

[acoustic osprey]

Thanks

But

[median furnace]

Me want new ui

[narrow furnace]

Me want spino

[acoustic osprey]

why

[alpine lynx]

me want more lore

[narrow furnace]

me want spino to eat rex and be the true king 😉

Also is there anything in the lore about hybrids? Ik we techniocally got mutants (Strains and weird gens)

And something like an omega strain that combines all strains into one?

Or am I just spewing nonsense?

@acoustic osprey I see you answering a lot of questions 🙂

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/guardians-of-the-galaxy-rocket-raccoon-crying-pain-gif-5914072486607539335

[narrow furnace]

🤣

[acoustic osprey]

nothing kinda...

besides The Matriarch
which isn't a hybrid, per say, but can digest and grow 'attributes' of things it eats

[narrow furnace]

Aaaah

Isn't that the thing that starts out as a mosquito and then goes to like 6 stages?

[acoustic osprey]

in Tapwing's fan lore, yeah

[narrow furnace]

Ah ok thats neat
Is it confirmed to be in the game tho?

[acoustic osprey]

yeahh..... maybe...

[narrow furnace]

so not really xD

[acoustic osprey]

the pain of the isle lore
is that the actual 'lore' playables are, yeah, 50/50

more of a 'who knows'

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/the-thing-fantastic-four-first-steps-f4-richie-the-bear-here's-the-thing-gif-10866717939802756885

[narrow furnace]

I wonder how thats going to play out, I also many years ago saw someone mention the replicator and that it would be used to unlock the strains in a way... idk if it was just a made-up thing

But it sounded like a nice way to 'transform' into a strain

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm

[narrow furnace]

indeed

[hexed forge]

Woah true

[hallow rover]

cant wait for human gameplay man, got a couple mates who refuse to play the game until humans are in lol

[acoustic osprey]

exactly

*as much as i love dinosaurs... *

bunker trailer did bring me in so-!

[hallow rover]

i just wanna get a couple people together to see if we can make it from one side of the island to the other without a Lost World scenario

mind you unlike JP if a rex sees you in this as a human id imagine your just dead

[acoustic osprey]

i suck at games
so i'd probably just be your avg JP Novel character

[hexed forge]

Plot armor will save you dont worry

[acoustic osprey]

I WILL NOT AND WILL NEVER AIM TO BE IN THE ISLE LORE!!!

https://tenor.com/view/girl-minion-minion-girl-cyring-gripping-gif-23947866

[acoustic osprey]

also
cerato...

[hexed forge]

I- I never said that.. why you yelling at me.. 😔

[acoustic osprey]

this'll take a whi;e

[acoustic osprey]

can't have plot armour if you don't exist in the plot to begin with!

oh
that would mean i therefore do not exist

damn

[hexed forge]

The video?

[acoustic osprey]

yeah...

[hexed forge]

If it's good, the wait will be worth it

i hope that is ok

[hexed forge]

As in? Your editing style orrrrr?

[acoustic osprey]

yes

[hexed forge]

That's fine

[acoustic osprey]

yay

[hexed forge]

It was never bad to begin with !!

It's good

[median furnace]

what the hell is voice modulation

[alpine lynx]

huh

[acoustic osprey]

AE lingo

[stiff lintel]

I can't wait till humans are in either. Until then, I'm preparing by playing Human survival games like DayZ and SCUM

Also, the people who react extremely negatively to humans being in the game are new players.

"It will ruin my immersion!"

Dude, most of these dinosaurs didn't even coexist with one another.

Screw your immersion, eat 5.56x45mm

You're playing a game that has monsters and mutated dinosaurs.

[fast forge]

the immersion/paleo argument is always funny to me

Like, did they think dinosaurs built all of the giant structures on the island?

but I've noticed people tend to think of this game in terms of the kind of dino game they'd want

[stiff lintel]

People will demonize "Non-Paleoaccurate" dinosaur designs even though you can do whatever you want with dinosaurs.

[snow jasper]

I respect the wishes to only play in a survival setting, since it feels more natural, a lot of people are attracted to a world without humans and being immersed in and for a long while, the Isle was the game to play if players wanted that immersion

The isle would be a very different game had it continued on as Human Only

Though, I am curious as to how old the idea of a game that came to be the isle is now, I know development started in 2014, not sure when Dondi thought of anything that became what the isle is now

[stiff lintel]

In my opinion, I think Spino's design is good.

[snow jasper]

Thank the replicator for that

[stiff lintel]

A "pale-accurate" Spino would get murked

[fast forge]

I don't mean paleo in the sense of biological paleo accuracy, I meant it like some people think they are playing in the mesozoic

But somehow with dinosaurs that were further apart in time than humans and rex?

It don't make sense to me

[stiff lintel]

And lore-wise, the dinosaurs aren't even the actual ones.

[fast forge]

True, but new players have no way of knowing that. On the other hand, seeing a giant metal and glass dome on the horizon should tell them that maybe they aren't in the cretaceous

[stiff lintel]

And soon, the constant firing of gunshots of human squads firing at each other LMAO

Its gonna be like living in the Ghetto

And I say that from experience

[ornate comet]

I’m gonna post up as a Herrera over a big loot pile and watch the bodies pile up lol

[stiff lintel]

I'm just gonna sit in the tree and watch the carnage

[median furnace]

ever since kickstarter it was always planned to have humans

[snow jasper]

I know, I mean like, when did Don sit and begin thinking about the universe that would go on to become the isle

[median furnace]

since 2015 but he changed most things and basically only whats canon is since evrima start

[snow jasper]

Still not quite what I am asking

Development was at least ongoing in 2014

TSL model rex, but the idea is there

[long sky]

Calling it right now, Gateway geographically is located in Eastern Asia close to the equator perhaps north of Australia, east of the Philippines

[median furnace]

its actually on the moon

[ornate comet]

https://tenor.com/view/marvel-rivals-moon-knight-marc-specter-cresent-moon-cape-full-moon-gif-4102617070509549025

Kinda random but I feel like a group of dryos would be called a clan and not a herd

Or a troop

[pseudo fable]

It was never human only, either.

You had three planned murderlizards.

[snow jasper]

o

my bad

[barren ruin]

but what about wizard lizards?

[lethal moat]

[median furnace]

sup stinkers

[balmy pewter]

once humans are in will they get dirt bikes to ride around on?

[acoustic osprey]

Most likely

Hopefully the concept art removes the bad front fender though...

[stiff lintel]

What were the murder lizards if I may ask?

[acoustic osprey]

I can't remember my old isle lore timeline

Can't remember when Vega made the three human strains

So they could be them

[barren ruin]

thats fragging cursed XD

[alpine lynx]

Gen 1’s, eyeless and other things that i don’t know

or it simply might be colossus, reaper and mastermind (echidna)

i still wonder whats primordial.

[sonic rampart]

Weren't they austro, carno, and rex?

[median furnace]

yea think so

the tsl models

[barren ruin]

ngl though that new reaper model looks sick

[median furnace]

the old merc and austro interior trailer lol ooof

[hexed forge]

Instead of austro it was a megaraptorid iirc

Don can correct me if hes in chat

But there were early megaraptor concepts

[median furnace]

there were strain megaraptors yeah

[barren ruin]

really hoping the idea of strains is gonna make a comeback in the future

[sonic rampart]

They are

[median furnace]

ugly mess!

[median furnace]

theyre still very much a thing , tisso reaper is a tissoplastic (possibly gen1?)

some of the old concepts are sick tho

[barren ruin]

i did go looking around on a few sacrificial deinos in the deep ocean and the ports, there were a few things that stuck out to me.
the port north east has alot of chemical refinement equipment, and the pipelines there could've leaked something into the surrounding water.
aswell as alot of the washed up containers being open/empty implies that the contents were spilled out possibly contaminating the island

the estuary part was clearly built to be able to lock the rivers off from the ocean to prevent something getting out or in

[median furnace]

giant crabs

[barren ruin]

this looks absolutely sick, that body plan if its not a hardened carapace could be excellent for swimming short bursts

[median furnace]

I rlly hope we get more glance sheets

Maybe on studied strain specimens and stuff

Kid named finger

[acoustic osprey]

in terms of 'three' murderlizards?
Maybe

but they were the idea after Humans
being the 2nd (and more successful) founding idea for the isle during pre-release in 2014

although, pretty sure though that vega's three strains are from mid-2015 or 2016?

so probably not the strain humans

[median furnace]

Think so

[hexed forge]

Going to mention this in here.

Before the replay effects update, you could set the year to any year.

Now, its only limited to between 1980 and 2200.

https://tenor.com/view/yuimetal-gif-2236335851178412850

If there is a lore correlation, 2172 may be canon.

[acoustic osprey]

^

[hexed forge]

@acoustic osprey my power went out just as you were explaining something to me 💀

[acoustic osprey]

rip

[hexed forge]

Very windy

A powerline got cut somewhere

But it's back now

[acoustic osprey]

What if we turn it to the last day of 2200
wonder if it can tick over to 2201

[hexed forge]

Ah OK

I'll try it

[acoustic osprey]

yay

[hexed forge]

Replay done loading
