I play it. I have met other people very VERY rarely and no more then 3. I enjoy the game anyway and would recommend it as a imerssive dino experience as the environment is fun to mess around in but the playerbase is unfortunatly almost non-existant. People likely just glance at it, see the title and assume it's one of the low grade copy of The Isle attempts which is a shame because while there deffinitly seems to be some inspiration the singleplayer experience is better then The Isle's singleplayer experience. Currently there are at least creatures that might up and eat you if they are hungry and you can recruit non-player members of your species to your pack with some food offer trust building and then adding them.
I still wouldn't expect a super exciting experience for now but at least you can run around with a flower in your mouth for the funsyies, watch the storms and play with the foliage physics. You might get snowed on or happen across some weird detail too.
The game really shines at just being an imerssive experience. I hope they get the ability to back up back in the older dinos soon because I miss that detail of feeling like I'm the dino to such an extent I can straight up back away from something. Such a small detail but it's one so often missed in non-human charicters.
Is it good as a multiplayer right now? Not really. Mostly because of the lack of players. It's a shame really. I do hope it continues current development as it has promise.

Do you mean the backwards walking Rhibirr? The older animals are currently still on the previous implementation of the movement system, which is why they can't walk backwards. Once they've been migrated over they should have that too, definitely planned.

Really appreciate the comments about the immersive nature of the game, one of the main focus points that I hold dear in development.

Yes I was referring to the backwards walking. It's weirdly annoyingly rare in games with non-human playables. Ark allows its animals to back up but a LOOOOT of games just neglect the detail.

My question as a fallower of this project before release up to this point, but never invested in is if there are any plans to simplify the skin costumization system and get rid of all the neon-extremely brightly illuminated and saturate colored, almost stylized looking skins, which in my opinion does not fit at all the breathtaking environment they are placed into. There is already a well recognized title with funky colors, the Beast of Bermuda. In my opinion those neon skins are a big deterrent for many potential buyers, including myself. I can be totally wrong, but as a dino-fanatic, that hurts my eyes to no end.

The intent is certainly to make the colours feel natural.
Can you show some examples of which ones stand out for you so we can have a look?

dinos definatly need better textures for immersion sake the skins on this are the same look as say path of titans just a mat looking skin with no life. i think i explained that good enough lol be good if they looked like the skins say like the isle they are done really well.

I have just started playing it, but the servers are all dead and this makes me sad, I feel like if there was more people to play with I'd consider keeping the game, but I don't see that happening. Which is a real shame.

I play now and then. Last night, there were four of us on, but yeah, it hasn't quite caught on. I like exploring, though. I don't mind being the only one on.
