Greetings! Today we have a new set of updates to the game I'd like to announce.
New:
Skin Color Patterns have been added to the game. Now you can select a skin color pattern and when you shed skin your colors will morph towards those colors. More patterns to come in the future. If you have any color pattern ideas you can submit them for addition to the game on the game's Discord server.
Packs and herds have been added back into the game. This includes player packs and herds and is multiplayer ready.
Players can now create groups with other players in a multiplayer game. Group members cannot deal damage to each-other. Group members can see an overhead nameplate on group members from far away to help locate each-other. Group leaders can kick players from their group and invite new players to their group.
Nearby players in a multiplayer game will have their username displayed above their dinosaur.
Changes:
Gigantoraptor no longer has fearful behavior.
Gigantoraptor now has defensive behavior.
Gigantoraptor carcass size has increased.
Gigantuous player dinosaurs in a multiplayer games now have their movement speed and rotation speed synced appropriately for their larger size.
The skin color system is now multiplayer-ready.
Sliding from sprinting can now only happen after 2 seconds of sprinting, up from 0.2 seconds.
Player dinosaur revive lockout time is now also based off the growth stage of the dinosaur. Younger dinosaurs lockout time being shortened by up to 4x.
Player dinosaur passive growth times have been adjusted. Now you can grow from hatchling to juvenile 4x faster, but the exact time is still based on the size category of your dinosaur and your growth rate. Juvenile to sub-adult growth times are now 2x faster.
Optimizations:
Optimized the skin color system.
Notes:
Please report any species that do not submerge in water within a reasonable range so I can fix them.
Fixes:
Fixed a glitch in the dinosaur revive system where you could instantly revive dead dinosaurs instead of having to wait for their timer to count down.
Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
