Posted Dec 7, 2010Hey,
I'm trying to get some more game-variation in it and in version 1.0 there will be more.
The thing about breeding your own dinosaurs are not that trivial since its just some feature which helps you and with todays technology it shouldn't be that hard :p
Anyways thanks for feedback, I really want to finish the release version since there will be a lot of improvements and bonus feature which will effect the game in itself immensely.
P.S. I learned some crazy guys who love to create their own dinosaurs, which gives the game some cheesy tactics, if you know how to use them^^

Posted Dec 7, 2010I have seen my brother playing your map many times and succeeded in surviving.
Since there's not many things to do, he tried to make as many aircrafts as possible. 4 aircrafts and some motorbikes. Looks and sounds very good. I like the ambiance but creating dinosaurs seem trivial. I don't know why but it feels like that.

Posted Dec 6, 2010Thanks for giving me this information.
First time I have ever heard of this bug.
I do not think that it will appear again, looks like it was a "one-time" bug, but I will check it up.

Posted Dec 6, 2010When me and my friend tested this one out, he got a bug or something, that made him see crystals instead of trees. I know the Trees are based of crystal, so I could be some texture error. Most likely its something about missing models/textures when he downloaded the map.
But still, thought you should know. Oh and he plays on ultra settings.

Posted Nov 29, 2010The map is not free published, you have to play it on the EU-servers.
Don't know when it will be uploaded to the US-servers, maybe the release of version 1.0.

Posted Nov 29, 2010Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it.
About the problem with no time being free:
I know that you have to gather resources all the time and don't have much time to do something else, reading tool-tips or instructions, but the problem is, as you mentioned that there is always Dino's incoming.
The system is in itself a wave-system, which a lot of people don't know, but sometime the waves just cuts another, so it looks more "random".
I really don't know how to change that problem other than lower the waves, but strength them instead.
About the point with the Hunter:
I can say for sure, that there will be no hunter game-mode as you mentioned, but instead there will be another game-mode which will be a nice addition and its not far away from being a hunter, but I can't say much about it now.

Posted Nov 29, 2010Hey I've yet to play it(too busy working on my own map) but have watched my friend play it repeatedly and there is one thing that ticks him off about it and thats the fact that once the dinos attack you can't do much as you are too busy repairing turrets or staying alive to gather wood to build more stuff.
A wave system might fix this but that lessens the challenge and breaks the feel. But maybe a seris of streams puncuted by breaks in the action or maybe one extra-tough mega-dino.
Again haven't played it myself but these might be worth thinking about.
Edit 1: Oh one other suggestion you could make it so that at the start of the game players choose to play as survior or hunter, the hunter players would play like 3rd person shooter. Just another idea, i still say the game is awesome although my friend would love it except for the being trapped in the action I mentioned above.

Posted Nov 29, 2010I'm happy that you like it.
Don't really know which sound you mean (hitting microphone?). It could be a Dino roar though :D
I'm going to implement a feature to mute sound effects, since I don't want that some people gets pissed of by the sounds in any way.
As I mentioned before I'm working at version 1.0 right now and I'm going to implement some nice feature which will be some sort of a variation I hope.

Posted Nov 29, 2010Loved the map, the music was nice, the idea is also interesting. Just one thing. That sound which appears from time to time is SOOOOOOO annoying. The one the sounds like someone was hitting a microphone. Cannot criticize your map in any other way. Well, maybe some variety wouldn't hurt :D
