Hi everyone, Wanted to show you guys an exciting new feature we’ve been working on for the next game, ontogeny. Based on the feedback received from DaPA, one of the things requested is a leveling system or progression system for the dinosaurs. We decided to take the extra mile with this and instead make the dinosaurs grow when they reached a certain level. There are only two dinosaurs that can grow, Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, and players will be able to play them in the main campaign mode where the objective is to grow and survive. Currently only the Tyrannosaurus is finished and the triceratops is still in the works.

So I decided to show you some of these heavy WIPs so that you could get a regular update. Warning, some of these will probably not make any sense, Here they are! Sarcosuchus - New Skin [img]http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31495235/63a563935c89b34ee14fe93c5aeca9b0cf99fc6a.jpg[/img] Yup, this guy will be in the game and playable! Currently painting it in Substance painter. Since the shift to third person view, some of the details for the dinosaurs would need to be redefined to make them look better and much sharper. For Sarco, I wanted to take the extra mile and detail the scales by hand. It will however take a very long time, and I’m currently doing this in between coding sessions (mostly to avoid frustration) so I can’t really promise that this skin will be included in the first early access build. In the meantime, enjoy this picture of a Sarcosaurus swimming instead.

What good is a leveling system if you don’t have skills that could be assigned and make the dinosaurs you play be more badass overtime! A bit of a disclaimer though, the skill tree isn’t actually a tree since it doesn’t act (or look) like a tree, but rather a selection of skills to improve the general stats. Yeah, I know, but calling it a [i]"Selection of Skills"[/i] is too much of a mouthful, so until then, skill tree it is! That’s currently it for now, let me know if you’d like to see more of these heavy WIPs, it’s easier to post because I don’t have to be too formal about the announcement. More updates coming soon! Also, I’ll be posting new info here until I can make a solid landing page. Once it’s done, I’ll let you know.
