Filipe - Lead Programmer

I have been busy refactoring some stuff related to the game’s security and bug fixing but also some updates to mechanics:

Migration system: Most of the system is being updated. The idea behind migrations are kept almost the same but the way they work both in code and for players is different. This will allow us to use the good parts of the current in-game system and remove what hasn’t been working. Also included are Patrol Zones which were always designed to be more than just another place to go for food.

Footsteps VFX: This one is mostly code wise. We are updating the system that we have been using since working with Cascade. Niagara allows us to use one single master VFX and adapt scales and weights instead of having several per size, per animal.

Entomb Save: This isn´t exactly a refactor, more like a new feature, though indeed it changes how saves work (a bit). Basically, this will allow players to keep a character stored after entombing in case you don´t want to play with the same animal again but also don´t want to lose your progress. So now you can keep that animal in a special save “slot” and play with a different animal. Keep in mind if you use the same species that you have in the entomb it will override it and you lose the non replicated animal (But you’ll get a warning first. No accidents!).

Besides a lot of work in generic systems and bug fixes as always.

See you!

Director’s Commentary - Boyohboy do I know how all of you will misinterpret what he has said so I want to be extremely clear: ‘Entomb Save’ only works when you entomb an animal as you normally do now. This is not a RPG. This is not a MMO. It requires your current active creature’s life to end through either entombment or other means. You will not be able to “log out” in the middle of a creature’s life to pick a different one. Death is required.

Also, the Migration System part is a little vague so I’ll throw a bit more here. Individual player migrations are added, moving players around the map on an individual level instead of a persistent species migration that calls everyone to a location. Herbivore/Omnivores have specific diets that are not dictated by the migration but being in your migration zone directly relates to your nutrition intake/conversion when consuming food on your diet. There are methods for groups to be able to have the same migration location as the groupleader so they aren’t forced apart by players’ individual migrations. More on that will be revealed after we fix up remaining exploits we can find with it.

Wedge - Sound Designer

This month the audio team have been working towards finalisation and polish of the Camarasaurus and Avaceratops call sound suites. In addition to these two creatures with Baryonyx’s outstanding subadult sounds complete, work has begun on the preliminary stages for Spinosaurus’ calls involving recording and sourcing material to work with to establish the beginning sound palette with early stages of drafting concepts.

Camarasaurus has gone through numerous iterations of concepts and we have now landed on a finalised set of vocals which is going through final adjustments, clean up and polish now they have been propagated out into variations. The Broadcast and Attract rely on soothing song-like sounds using sources that have a similar sonic quality to the recognisable sound we expect from a sauropod but drawing from slightly different sounds; produced by both animal sounds and props. Its danger call is a short siren-like wail pulling from some interesting bird sounds maintaining some of the song like qualities but underpinned with a punchy deep grunt and structured as a ‘to the point’ call for alarm. Due to the size and subdued nature of this creature we landed on a threaten call that consists of a booming groan produced internally with harmonic overtones that have a unique tonal character – for this I found a combination of deep whale groans and processed prop source sounds generated from friction and a crow hunting call played through viscous liquid, creating bubbles that act as a resonating chamber.

Finally, the generic call uses a similar sound palette to the Threaten utilising the crow call again; these groans and gurgles have some natural vowel movement which is accented with some complex filter movement that help the sound convey a sense of communication. These groans are given the addition of large purring rumbles from elephants to soften the threatening edge.

I have also begun some WIP changes to vocal call reverb, delay and spatialisation effects to be more substantial in preparation for Camara’s eventual introduction as this will be a crucial element to the success of these calls, but will need to be evaluated on all creatures before it can be implemented.

Avaceratops’ calls are nearing completion as well. The Threaten, Broadcast and Generic calls are all in the stage of final adjustments to polish, with the initial design and variations created they are undergoing some final tweaks; ensuring the tuning across tonal elements are homogenous and the mix is well balanced. Its danger call has had the initial design created and will be propagated out into variations following the polish of the previous calls with the attract call to round out following not far behind it.

Fred - 2D Artist

As many of you have seen through Horde Test clips floating around online, we’ve been busy at work making a lot of skins. We’re bringing back many skins not seen since legacy that you can enjoy in our current skin system. Old classics like the Four-Eyed Triceratops and the Python Omniraptor are slowly making their way into the game.

I’m also working on making a set of “simpler” skins for each of our animals. These skins will be constructed slightly different from our typical defaults which will add a different flavor of skins to play with. Images are better than words

hypno - QA Lead

Over the past several weeks, a large part of our QA efforts has been focused on Austroraptor as it moves through Horde Testing.

Getting a new playable ready for release is much more than making sure the creature itself functions correctly. Every new addition has to be tested against a long list of existing mechanics to ensure it interacts properly with the rest of the game. Balancing, interacting with objects and carrying them, diets, new and existing abilities, mutations, how it feels in general to survive as, and countless edge cases all need to be verified before a creature is considered ready. Any one of these could have issues with new playables, with the worst case scenario being that they could cause clients or servers to crash and, as we introduce more mechanics, this list becomes ever larger.

Alongside gameplay, every required animation, sound, visual effect also needs to be implemented and validated. Even relatively small issues can become much more noticeable once hundreds of players begin using a creature in ways we may never have anticipated. Those of you that read a previous post of mine have seen what happens when we allow an Oviraptor to use the Omniraptor pounce - it’s not a pretty sight.

Austroraptor has also introduced entirely new mechanics that require their own dedicated testing. One example is its ability to jump from the surface of water, which opens up a range of new interactions and cases that simply haven't existed before. Mechanics like these don't just need to work in isolation - they need to behave consistently alongside every other gameplay system already in place. What happens if you use a Deinosuchus to lunge at a person mid-jump? You would expect this to simply grab them and work seamlessly out of the box, but unfortunately that’s not always the case.

We've also continued testing the new hill sliding mechanic. While the feature itself has been progressing well, testing has uncovered several unexpected interactions with existing systems. For example, we discovered situations where players could still activate certain abilities while sliding, creating unintended behaviour that needed to be addressed, such as resting or using charged abilities such as the Tyrannosaurus crush. These are exactly the kinds of issues Horde Testing is designed to uncover before a feature reaches the live branch.

While internal QA isn't always the most visible part of development, it's an important part of ensuring new content arrives in a stable and polished (enough) state for Horde Test. Every issue caught during QA testing is one less problem players have to encounter after release, and we'll continue refining these systems as testing progresses.

Speaking of which, I recently restructured QA and made changes to our testing workflow. With that, I am currently looking for more voluntary QA testers within EU and AU timezones. If you have any spare time to help contribute to the project and assist us in testing new characters and mechanics before they reach the Horde Testing branch, then please submit an application to the following form: QA Applications[docs.google.com]

KissenKitten - Animation Supervisor

The animation team is just about wrapping up on the avaceratops sparring so I’m looking forward to getting it in internal testing so I can make any adjustments it may need. The anim team is still working on the parasaurolophus, bringing it steadily closer to completion.

On an individual note, I’ve spent a lot of this month doing animation revisions and additions. Austroraptor can now jump out of the water to give it an easier time navigating water-based obstacles. It turns more smoothly on the waters’ surface and it can make more use of its killing claws with a few animations.

There are also revisions for oviraptor, general sliding and some new directional attack animations for the triceratops that should have them feeling more reactive which is something I’ve felt needed for awhile to allow for an easier time defending their rear. There are changes coming to diabloceratops’ attacks so they recover a bit faster as well.

We have many irons on the fire right now with so many creatures needing testing all at once. So next month, should things go according to my grand master plans, I’ll be reviewing in no particular order, oviraptor, baryonyx, camarasaurus, quetzalcoatylus and avaceratops as well. May even get into some more human animations. We’ll see. Lastly, I've started exploring spinosaurus since it’s the next playable after parasaurolophus. Running the rig through the motions so I can assure the newest rig has the additions needed to really allow it to perform on a scale worthy of its embodiment. I intend for it to be a very impressive specimen. That’s all for now. Catch you next time!

Ariel - Programmer

This month I was looking at various issues from the horde test and making related changes. I also made a small change to nesting; after taking an egg, the dinosaur will now automatically hatch after a while. This was done because there were cases of people taking an egg and never hatching, this way making those eggs unusable for others. Hopefully that won't be a problem going forward.

Other than that I got back to working on changing the camera system for the dinosaurs. This is something I'd worked on before, so I'm picking up where I left off. I managed to figure out how to set up the configuration in a way that provides the appropriate functionality while still being convenient to work with. Some dinosaurs can have very different shapes and sizes, so first we are looking at setting up the more unique ones and then moving on to the rest.

VisualTech48 - Environmental Artist

Last month there was a large conversion and usage of specific locations that were previously seen in GUTS. We combined a few locations such as the necropsy area and incineration pit into a dedicated multi-story building.

The main entrance is large and enters into an open interior where facility staff disposed of organic material. There are a lot of additional rooms to explore that have several connections. There are also numerous other ways in and out of the structure, including some unique passages for smaller animals.

The primary focus this month has been moving Jace's concept of the Hatchery to a completed state.

The hatchery is a massive brutalist science building where the animals were brought to life in artificial nests and nurseries. The Hatchery in particular features specific large halls meant to transport animals through the building and possibly to an adjoining animal hospital, as well as key spots for hatching, feeding, relocating, and socialization as juvenile animals were integrated into established herds and packs.

Wedge - Sound Designer

Camarasaurus’ calls are going through more concepting and iteration. Since this is our first Sauropod making its way into Evrima we want to make sure each element – including its audio – is putting our best foot forward for this creature. I’ve been experimenting with more source material, pulling from a variety of new sound sources to help produce some interesting tonality and movement to its song-like calls. I’m also experimenting with a sonic palette that helps display this creature’s size and mass through bassy groans and tectonic transient clicks and thumps underpinning its soothing calls – representing the moving internal musculature and the kinetic energy needed for it to both move and vocalise.

Meanwhile the rest of the audio team has put heads together for a slight revision to Baryonyx’s juvenile vocalisations, pulling from various sources to reproduce a sound palette similar to baby alligators and geckos without overlapping the deinosuchus. Because of the significant difference in tonality between the adult and juvenile vocalisations from this change it became necessary to include a subadult sound set into this creature's vocal call suite which is currently being designed.

Avaceratops’ vocal calls are well underway with our newest audio team member. Capturing that signature sound many of you already know, utilising the recognisable elk bugles among other animals to faithfully recreate its distinct vocalisations, whilst respectfully giving the fidelity of these sounds the improvements they deserve.

KissenKitten - Animation Supervisor

This will be short and sweet since the bulk of what we’ve been doing is already fairly well known. The animation team is still plowing through the avaceratops’ sparring animations and we’re almost done. I refrained from adding more ava sparring animation clips since they’re relatively similar, but what I will do is show more progress on the parasaurolophus which is looking rather beautiful. Please enjoy the fruits of our labor. The ovi, bary and camara as mentioned previously, are just awaiting their HordeTest debuts. We completed their animations barring fixes and/or specific additions. Bye bye!

Director’s Commentary

At the time of writing this, which is as you all know the absolute last second, the HordeTest should be sitting on the final build before being sent to Evrima.

There will be a quick turnaround at the end of the week for the next HordeTest. Austroraptor will once again be immediately available with a few other features rushing the door not far behind it.

Hillsliding will be coming in for all of the animals to help mitigate sliding down terrain to your doom but it won't save those of you that don't look before you leap. You'll also feel a notable difference in various animals moving up or down steep terrain with quadrupeds holding an advantage uphill.

Destructible foliage will be featured, where mass and speed are relevant to being able to crush smaller foliage underfoot or knock down trees. Some of the larger trees remain unaffected by this, as well as keeping the smaller plants so you can't turn a forest into a desert because I know if you could you would. All the same, seeing two massive animals clear out an area when fighting is pretty cool to see.

You all only broke it about seven times but the skin system now seems to function as intended which has allowed us to start hammering additional patterns and palettes out. As there's no other features planned for the system that interfere with the current functionality, additional patterns and palettes can enter the testing pipeline the moment they are completed, including some old favorites.

The wound system will be receiving one more small update. Much like the other effects that increase as you get below half health and below, individuals that grow increasingly injured will visually begin to limp and suffer speed penalties up to a cap, based proportionately on lost health. Visually, players can now more easily identify weaker targets before a fight begins or as wounds develop during an altercation. Moreover, truly injured targets can no longer flee at full speed while also approaching death's door. Commitment to fights matter and sometimes it's not about outrunning the threat, just your friends. And yes, the scratch marks that cover every animal when injured will be replaced.

This next part has nothing to do with upcoming HordeTest content. I just thought it was neat because Arborbursting. Time to get weird with it.

Lastly, playable roster info. The next batch of playables after spinosaurus has been decided, though the order of release amongst them is not. Internally referred to as the "Nebulous Five."

Shantungosaurus - Outrun anyone you can't stomp. Stomp anyone you can't outrun.
Ankylosaurus - President of the Honk Club.
Homalocephale - He's just a little guy.
Megalania - Lizard.Lizard.Lizard.Won'tBeFirst.Lizard.Lizard.Lizard.
Giganotosaurus - Running from him will result in dying tired.

Soul Pledges are now being accepted on the official Discord to influence release order.

Filipe - Lead Programmer

I’ve been working on fixing UI issues and preventing some exploits. Kentrosaurus has a few reflection bugs where it's dealing damage in unintended ways but it should be done soon.

The only thing to show this month is the skin system. We want to make sure it works fine using texture gradients without issues, but also avoid people being able to spawn with ridiculous colours on official servers.

That’s all this month! See you!

Ariel - Programmer

This month I was mostly working on the underwater movement system for the baryonyx. This animal prefers to move along the bottom of lakes and rivers, so unlike other dinosaurs, running into the water will keep the baryonyx attached to the ground. Similar to beipiaosaurus when latching, baryonyx can then move across the terrain at the bottom of water. It can “jump” to push off from the ground and swim as normal, but idling anywhere except on the surface of water will cause the baryonyx to sink again.

Wedge - Sound Designer

With a new sound designer joining our ranks we have made some serious headway with Baryonyx’s vocal sounds, working our way through the last of its audio. It is near completion with the finishing touches being applied to the last few juvenile sounds before some testing and final review. .

I have moved onto the concepting phase for Camarasaurus’ vocalisations, experimenting with different sonic aesthetics for the creature. The current concepts run a broad spectrum of sounds all aiming to strike a balance between paying homage to instances of sauropod vocalisations from other media and finding a unique sonic identity, as well as conveying the sheer mass and size of this creature.

Our newest member of the team has turned their focus over to Avaceratops, and is in the early stages of concepting, taking as many measures as possible to maintain its vocal identity established with its legacy calls, whilst giving it the modernisation it deserves.

hypno - QA Lead

Hordetesting released to a great start, with the first new playable being the Kentrosaurus, which I would consider one of our smoothest releases of a new species to date. There are still some kinks to iron out with this animal, but once those have been addressed, we will be looking at moving it over to the Evrima branch alongside all the new changes to Gateway.

Over the course of the hordetesting, I will be compiling as much feedback from you guys as possible to address some of the lingering issues with the current state of the game.

The save system sometimes fails on server restarts, causing player data to be wiped.
Eggs being “locked” if a player decides to never hatch from them.
Tyrannosaurus issues, such as not entering spar if it’s holding its crush ability.
Reflection damage added to ceratopsian horns and stegosaurus tail spikes.
Discrepancies between animal bite speeds and their damage output.
Pin retaliation damage not remaining consistent with the size of the animal.
Footstep audio and attenuation issues, such as troodon/dilophosaurus being very loud compared to their sizes.
Herrerasaurus impaling itself on kentrosaurus with its drop attack.
Body dragging costs stamina despite its slow movespeed. Stamina consumption for it will be removed.Adjustments to the migration zone system to avoid them becoming stuck in one place.

Director’s Commentary: Hypno initially made a compiled list of lingering issues but I’ve sealed these away while some are actively being worked on. You get to blame me for having such an abridged version.

A recent addition to hordetest that I’m particularly excited about is the new gradient system for the skin customizer. At the moment, the current hordetest only includes a single theme (the dinosaur’s default colour palette), but the amount of themes will be expanded significantly over time.

KissenKitten - Animation Supervisor

During the hordetest I’ve been personally going in alongside the rest of the animation team and polishing/swapping out some animations for kentrosaurus, austroraptor, oviraptor and pteranodon. Still a bit more for pteranodon I need to do but overall I’m very pleased with how everything is turning out.

After those, the bary, camara and quetz are gonna be next, in no particular order. We wrapped up on some of their lingering animations so they’ll be next in line to just miraculously show up someday in a hordetest of their own. I’m especially pleased with the imposing presence the camarasaurus is bringing. It’s absolutely massive! No dinosaur experience is complete without a sauropod in my opinion so we’ll definitely try our best to make it feel as epic and powerful as it looks. Watch the legs!

The avaceratops is a special grumpy snowflake since we decided to give it sparring so we’ve been hitting that task pretty hard. Sparring as a feature is quite involved art-wise so it’s taken the entire animation team to help crank these animations out alongside all these other deliverables but it’s coming along nicely despite it all. Ironically, it’s been one of the easiest to work with, go figure. Oh, and it’s officially omnivorous, complete with meat eating animation. Oviraptor has one of those too so you’ll really need to guard your hatchlings and your eggs.

Now for my personal gold star: Parasaurolophus. Still just as beautiful as the day it was made. The parasaurolophus is going to have our signature hadrosaur functionality such as stance changes etc that you’ve seen with maiasaura but of course it’s a much larger animal. It will be throwing more weight and more blows around than it ever has before. Much like with sauropods, large hadrosaurs are a key part of any dinosaur experience. Having it on the island again is going to feel amazing and help flesh out The Isle that much more. The para has also been a dream to work with for the animation team, which is saying something. We’re also going to try to do something new and interesting with it vocally. I can’t get into specifics but if all goes according to plan, the beauty of its melodic songs ringing out across the island will only be rivaled by its majestic appearance.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got. See ya next time.

Who’s ready for Director’s Commentary 2: Return of the Donblog? It’s just me again. I’m going to play a bit of catch-up with some Hordetest info and some immediate plans.

Since I’ve last written an entry the whole island has been updated. Jace had been hard at work getting the feel of each area nailed down, from the forests and jungles to redwoods and mangroves. Mangroves in particular were previewed before the redwoods but there were some additional pieces that needed to be done with them to make sure we got the feel as solid as everything else. They’re the last of our (mostly) terrestrial environments that need to be moved in and I’m confident we’ll pull off some interesting semi-aquatic locations and unique sanctuaries when they enter the swamp and surrounding areas.

Note: Doesn’t deserve its own paragraph of info but small AI is moving in. From rats and lizards to snails and insects, these lil’ snacks will be excellent meals for small carnivores, omnivores, and juveniles. There may be some carnivore sanctuary tests we try but we’ll see if time permits.

The biomes getting finishing touches moved much faster than the dome. You can all thank Kissen who pushed for the biome to be moved immediately into your hands which resulted in them being used as a breakup into highlands and then the rest of the island. I think redwoods stand undefeated in being universally loved by everyone which is always good to see since they’ll be remaining even after the dome interior is open for exploration.

Speaking of the dome, there has been no shortage of progress trying to bring the behemoth to life. The entrances have been updated and the final (entrance) shell is wrapping up on completion. There are four major entrances with several side paths and locations. The main routes are massive, large enough to let in the largest of our current in-game roster several times over. There are several side paths, such as pipes and broken service locations that serve as routes for smaller creatures and especially climbers.

Note: Don’t try this at home. Building believable interiors for a structure that size, with space necessary to transport the largest of animals while still having additional routes through that didn’t turn entryways into a hallway of death is challenging. It’s resulted in expanding a lot of areas so there’s the possibility of moving through the interiors and actually being able to avoid encounters if you took different routes. Making sure everything flowed well unintentionally turned each location into its own type of POI and manmade playground.

Kentrosaurus came with the first rollout of this HT which I hope you all have been enjoying. Overall the animal took a little longer than I’d have liked it to, but it is one of the remaining few animals that has a key ability that would be shared with others on the roster. There’s still work to be done for its defensive stance. It will receive a small stability boost and will proc recoil on an enemy attack or when blocking certain abilities to better convey they are taking damage. He also received a small weight boost to put him over the edge of being a free pin. Once all the features of reflection damage and defensive stance are working smoothly on kentrosaurus, you’ll see similar capabilities on things like ceratopsians and spinosaurids.

The austroraptor and possibly oviraptor will be enabled at some point during a future update to this HordeTest for some early hands-on. Oviraptor gets to come before baryonyx for the same reason redwoods came before mangroves. It was simpler and moved faster towards completion. I will accept no oviraptor slander.

While austroraptor is closer to completion, oviraptor has had some horrifying things to fix over the last week.

Austroraptor primarily focuses on spearfishing like pteranodon or hunting small game. Despite being taller than omniraptor, it has a lighter build and is more fragile. Austroraptor does have a basic pounce and latch capability. It can swap pounce slot positions but lacks unique primary/secondary attacks while latched since it is not specialized in taking down large prey. Austroraptor also has the capability to swim underwater and can hunt elite fish, though be mindful of deinosuchus and angry beipi groups.

A vibrant addition to the playables, oviraptor is a small and quick opportunistic omnivore. While it will have a primary diet of plants, we’ve leaned into the idea of egg-thief. Oviraptor will be able to scent for active nests of other species that currently have eggs in them. Snatching an egg and turning it into a meal will reward the oviraptor with considerable nutrients (this capability may make its way to a few other animals on the roster in the future, but remains exclusive to oviraptor at this time). Parents that do recover an egg from an egg-thief can pick that egg up and return it back to the nest.

Pteranodon received additional aerial and terrestrial updates. There’s still work to be done on directional attacks, but overall the direction has felt nice to see it becoming a terrestrial fear of smaller animals. But maybe we’ll bump up his size just a bit to really cement it as a credible threat to unwary animals out in the open.

Quetzalcoatlus is still in development but you can see some of the animations in the media at the end of the post. It may be fragile in comparison to the heaviest on the ground, but it is still exceptionally quick and lethal. It can close the distance between itself and a target, or create distance by striking forward and evading backwards to stay out of biting range of a bigger target.

While avaceratops will not be in this HT, it is receiving a quick aside here. Some of the animation team is currently hard at work supplying it with the necessary spar animation suite, as the animal will be released as a full playable instead of just AI. It’s going to be an ornery, aggressive, burrow-stealing ceratopsian that will eclipse the boar as the most aggressive “You exist so you must die,” animal on the island. You asked for this.

The sound team is rounding out the last of baryonyx. It has some unique thwumpy noises that really help define the character and really sets it apart from anything we currently have. After that it's on to the next animals: avaceratops, camarasaurus, and parasaurolophus. I’ll let the sounds speak for themselves when the time comes, but we’re hoping to utilize parasaurolophus vocals in a way that actively benefits the players from using their calls.

The skin system’s updated functionality will be merged in during HordeTest. The entire roster up to baryonyx has its default palette completed and while the default gradients alone are more restrictive, there will be additional color options made available moving forward. The mixing of different palettes over time may yield some interesting results. Lastly, I’m sure you’ve seen the eye work being done as well but eye customization is unlikely to make an appearance until after the current HT.

Hillslides are also on the horizon with a few small changes on how we handle terrain slopes, and may enter this HT or the next (depending on how well kentrosaurus behaves). Animals now lose momentum moving uphill with some differences depending on if they are quadrupedal or bipedal. Animals will now intentionally slide down hills at certain steeper angles, and also adjust depending on whether or not a player is walking or attempting to run down certain angles. This has been a great way to help a player orient themselves and slow down to prevent themselves from breaking a leg or falling to their doom. Functionally it has all worked pretty well in testing and I’m showering it with praise because seeing it all come together has been really neat. I’m sure I will regret this when you all figure out something heinous that the team never could have anticipated with the slides.

Elders are getting further adjustments to the system based on feedback. Overall lifetime should be unaffected for the roster, but more of an animal’s lifetime will be spent at its peak physical condition (adult or prime stats) before their attributes begin falling off.

This month I have been focused on kentrosaurus and its defensive stance. This helps it to reflect damage back to attackers when they hit its spikes, but this will also be seen for other animals that have spikes or build in defenses like ceratopsians. I also worked on the updated skin system color picker so that we can bring larger color selections back to you. Skin colors are based on a texture which the players can click to select the colors for each section. This allows more colors on a single texture and simplifies the process for us. It also allows us to introduce any additional palettes for skins, being each theme containing a new texture with a new set of colors in it.

See you!

I continued working on the hill slide mechanic to get it working right in all the different conditions, like how steep the slope is, which way your dinosaur is looking, how fast you were moving when you entered the hill slide state, and what the conditions are for ending it. I also set it up for all the dinosaurs now to test their animations. Other than that I took a look at the pteranodon as well because it received the updated terrestrial animations.

This month started with wrapping up on the five main calls for the Quetzalcoatlus and establishing the vocal palette for the rest of its audio.

Next was creating a set of sounds for the tree knockdown mechanic, including the creaking, squeaking and rattling of the trees as they fall and the punchy, woody and leafy impact as they hit the ground. This meant doing a set of sounds for three size stages to account for the range of sizes of trees that will be able to be knocked down. These sounds were then tested and adjusted in length and weight proportionately to the size of the trees.

Baryonyx calls are now being refined by the rest of the sound team after its new vocal palette was established. Its vocalisations are moving away from the standard guttural growls, a type of vocalisation that is already well covered by the existing roster to bring a different sonic perspective, while still leaning into its amphibious nature. Comprising deep ‘Bomp’ sounds, similar to a large bubble upwelling and popping in its throat, giving Bary a unique and threatening edge.

To wrap up this month I moved onto Oviraptors calls. Since this is the most avian creature to be added to the roster this was a design aesthetic that we really wanted to lean into with its sounds. Its vocals are made up of a diverse range of edited parrot chirps, screeches, squawks, giggles and croaks, juxtaposed with squeals and clicks that have a goblin-like quality to them, lending well to its ‘egg-thief’ niche. These pull from the cooing clicks of crows that have a natural vowel movement, tasmanian devil and rapid small bird beak clacks as well as lemur and honey badger for breathier clicking elements.

Unfortunately, no funny videos this time. The past couple of weeks for QA have been focused on gathering and verifying community bug reports, cleaning up the bug tracker, and testing new builds. There have been some major issues such as organs and meat chunks becoming uninteractable, sparring issues, and Dilophosaurus hallucinations not hitting players, etc, that we feel need to be fixed before the next hordetest. Fortunately many of these have been resolved but we still have a few outstanding problems we’d like fixed before moving forward with public tests.

Pretty much all of this month has been a continuation of the previous. Fixing animation bugs, tying up loose ends and putting our heads down on quetzalcoatlus.

I’ve been enjoying developing its personality and style that dips into science without compromising creativity and avoiding being too generic. We want playing the quetz to feel very unique to The Isle. Stealthy, deadly and deceptively alert. Disappearing into the background and at times coming out of nowhere. The animations lean towards illusive and measured but when it is time to deal damage or give chase, its unorthodox body type takes center stage that creates an unnerving silhouette in the darkness.

I’m pretty excited about this playable! Especially for the legacy folks out there that wanted a quetz experience and weren’t able to have it.

Here are a few animations (some revised) for you to check out.

This month I have been working primarily on bug fixes for several systems while we focus on bug cleanup, but I’ve had some small time to work on some upcoming changes for the skin system. You will get a limited type of color pick gradient for skin palettes that change per layer and not every palette will be on every pattern, but overall it should offer more freedom and consistency in the look of your animal.

There are also some balance changes coming to pounce related systems such as Bucking and Grapple/Pin, since bucking hasn’t met the mark for either side of pounce interaction. It should help in situations where players just fall to the ground during a pounce, because even during a grapple most animals are capable of fighting back. Some more changes may be needed later, but we have to try things in parts to avoid over changing stuff.

For now that is it, see you soon.

This month I was mostly working on a mechanic we’re referring to as “hill slide”. The goal is to improve navigating steeper slopes and making the biped/quadruped experience a bit more different without making the dinosaurs too mobile in the process. To put it simply, dinosaurs will be able to slowly walk up steeper hills as long as they turn to the side, but trying to move downwards will put them in a sliding state. This also extends to something that’s been happening in the game when a player tries to run down a hill and when it becomes too steep they end up getting “launched off” the hill, often resulting in taking damage. This has been adjusted so that dinosaurs will enter the hill slide state and stay on the ground. There are still some adjustments to be made and testing, balancing, but the implementation is coming along well overall.

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on content for the impending Steam page change, including images, GIFs, and of course, polishing the Steam page trailer, which is fundamentally different from our previous work. While our previous patch release trailers were filmed in a more documentary style, this will be the first trailer in a long while that has any cinematic feel to it.

Even though Maiasaura, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus rex, Allosaurus, and the Pteranodon innovations make up the bulk of the trailer, we want to give all previous species and mechanics a place in the trailer as much as possible. As always, all scenes are engine and in-game footage so as not to distort the presentation of the game. The project is already very advanced and just needs a little polishing. We want this trailer to give you goosebumps, and I'm excited to see if we can pull that off.

My next few weeks will be spent finalizing everything. Here are a couple sneak peeks:

This month I had an opportunity to work on some assets for a new biome on the island, the redwoods! We didn't want to use the same marketplace redwood assets everyone uses, we really wanted something that was unique to The Isle. Flora diversity in this biome won't be as great as in the jungle, the redwoods themselves (along with their various growth stages) dominate the various layers of the canopy. This meant the redwoods had to look really good and diverse. To this end I created about 10 unique trees, encompassing a range from small saplings to monsters well over 300 feet in height.

Such large trees have to have quite thick trunks. For trees with trunks this large it was important to create something that held detail well at scale. Any imperfections (such as UV seams) would be much larger and more noticeable so I had to be very strict with how I authored the blend from the root base to the rest of the tree trunk. "Flatness" of texture can go unnoticed on smaller diameter trees, but for these assets I had to increase displacement and poly density on the massive trunks to let the textures pop a little more.

In addition to the trees themselves I created a handful of ground cover foliage types. Some clovers and a leafy plant to add some clutter to the forest floor to complete the look and add some lush greens to the biome. It's been a long time coming and I am quite proud of how it all came together!

This month has been given to optimization and getting a lot of our buildings ready for the new optimized decal shader that is now in. Previously, we were restricted by the nature of Unreal’s way of storing specific information. The buildings are now properly being culled by both the server and the client.

With this, we should be seeing far less performance issues across the board with our human POIs, and locations and loading times. However, this new decal shader allows us to paint what we had before anywhere in the world, without many restrictions and time loss, keeping the same aesthetics as before.

To showcase this optimization feat, we’ll be using the large Labs shell for the prime example.

As with a lot of our modular kit, the limitations of how specific mesh data was stored forced us for quite some time to use alternative methods until recently, where we finally solved the issue. but still kept the detailed freedom it gives us (at a small cost of time setting it up per building).

We call this the Painting Plane. The current roster of exterior buildings is already transferred to Gateway, with the use of this new technique.

That is all I can share for now, hopefully this will bring The Isle closer to our optimization goals. See you next month!

We are kicking off the new year with a new set of calls for two new creatures coming to Evrima. I have taken on Quetzalcoatlus’s calls, which are being approached with a unique concept. While I would love to share the design intent to its vocalisations and how they are sounding, much like Quetz, the less said the better. Meanwhile, the rest of the sound team is concepting Baryonyx’s guttural bellows and growls, with a touch of moisture complimenting its amphibious playstyle.

In addition to vocalisation concepts, some improvements have been made to various audio aspects, including a major fix to the custom attenuation behaviour and volume/attenuation scaling of foliage sounds. Austroraptor’s sounds have been implemented and we are moving on the finishing touches to Kentrosaurus’s vocal sounds.

Finally some minor adjustments to vocal call attenuation volume curve are underway, adjusting the volume curve so calls are less quiet at distance without change to how distant they sound, in aim to give more life to the ambience and deliver more information to players.

I’m blowing the dust off my devblog skills since it’s been awhile since I’ve made an entry. For the past few months I’ve had my head down and sights firmly fixed on new species. There always seems to be a mountain of work to do in so little time but as a unit, we do what needs to be done.

As you may or may not know, there will be new playables released onto The Isle in the very near future. Austroraptor, Baryonyx, Kentrosaurus, Oviraptor and Avaceratops. Most of those we’ve shown here and there a fair amount. Following quickly behind them are Camarasaurus and Quetzalcoatlus. The former either have or are in the process of getting their sounds. Once that is done, they’ll be entering a HT as production allows. Then we’ll see how they perform, iron out whatever wrinkles and kinks they exhibit and then prepare them for Live Evrima. That trend will continue until we’re done with all the playables.

I mentioned many moons ago that I was ordering our steps to allow us a clearer and faster pathway for releasing playables and at last we are here (especially now that the tyrannosaurus is off our plate because that thing was a doozy). Get ready for the ecosystem to be in a relatively constant state of flux for a while. The new playables are likely to disrupt what you have come to know and expect on the island so much like the animals, you need to be prepared to adapt. It takes awhile for the dust to settle and each species to discover its most effective position within the food chain and how to navigate life with the other species.

The animation team has been working on additions for the older playables as I mentioned in devblogs past. Pteranodon, Austroraptor, Hypsilophodon etc. I’ll include a few animations. There are other additions here and others not shown but for the sake of brevity I’ll only go over a few and let the rest show up as they show up.

The pteranodon is being outfitted with better movement and attacks on the ground so hunting and fighting on land doesn’t feel like as much of a lost cause as it used to be. It should be faster, dish out more damage and likely be slightly larger. But be that as it may, you are still a fragile species comparatively so act accordingly. These changes will not turn you into anything other than a more powerful pteranodon. Which is still a pteranodon at the end of the day.

Hypsilophodon has some new attacks and nest related animations. Since we’re doing some new things with it, all of this is subject to change should it not work out. But if all goes according to plan, it should introduce more interesting gameplay options for this tiny but iconic species.

There were a handful of straggler animations for the austroraptor that the animation team has also completed, many including idles. Each playable has always had a number of different idles but with some of the newer playables and the introduction of the elder system, we’re likely to add more (some of which may only play or be attained under special conditions).

Now for the species so many have been waiting on, we have the quetzalcoatlus that’s in active development. This animal is being designed to be an imposing, stealthy, stalking terror from the land and sky. One of the pillars of the characterization we want to nail for quetzalcoatlus is to ensure it feels like a terrifying presence no matter where you encounter it. Be that on land, in the water, in the sky or even in the trees. The quetz is no less dangerous no matter where you encounter it. When the quetz makes its entrance into The Isle, make sure you keep an eye on your herd/pack mates. Turn your back for too long and someone may vanish without a trace.

That’s all from me. Remember that everything you’ve read or seen is all subject to change. But for some extra razzle dazzle I’ve included some prototype animations. See ya next month. Toodles!

Patch 0.21.321

Dec 23, 2025

Hey Islanders,

A new patch is now available on the Evrima Public Branch. Thank you to everyone that participated in our latest hordetest. To spare you all a novel-length read, we’ve trimmed the changelog down to the highlights. A list of known-issues will be updated and posted in a few days.

You may need to restart your Steam client if the update is not immediately available to download.

Changelog for Patch 0.21.321:

Added Tyrannosaurus
RMB - Muzzle Swing
A light attack capable of knocking down smaller targets
Hold RMB - Heavy Muzzle Swing
A heavy attack capable of knocking down or killing smaller targets and staggering similar sized animals
Hold LMB - Crush
A powerful attack that sends the tyrannosaurus lunging forward with a powerful bite and fracture damage. This can pin and execute smaller or wounded targets, or stagger similar sized animals
Spacebar (After achieving subadult) - Ambush
Ambush will give you a temporary increase to your sprint speed before going on a moderate cooldown. Useful to help catch prey that will soon outpace you
Hold F and press 1 or RMB (After achieving adult) - "Paleo" Vocals
Tyrannosaurus possesses some unique audio for generic and broadcast calls as an adult. There is no special use for this yet. It's just for fun
LMB/RMB - Directional Attacks
Tyrannosaurus possesses primary and secondary directional attacks. Primary attacks are standard bites. Secondary attacks are less lethal but medium hitting muzzle swings
RMB (After crushing a target) - Throw
Throw a target in the direction you're looking. This will always kill them

Added Allosaurus
Hold LMB (While Running) - Claw Swipe
A medium attack that deals heavy bleed. This can also move the allosaurus slightly in the direction its looking to close distance for the attack
Hold RMB and Release - Pounce
Allosaurus latches on to a target, dealing increasing damage and bleed over time

Updated Pteranodon
Automatic (Run off a ledge) - Ledge Flight
Enter flight automatically by running off the edge of a surface
Double Press Ctrl (During Flight) - Barrel Roll
Spin down into a dive or just show off
Z (During Flight) - Air Brake
Depending on how fast a player is going, quickly braking and using turn will drastically increase your turn rate at the cost of some momentum
RMB (While over mud or a water surface) - Spearfishing
Only usable during the day, this will cause the pteranodon to enter a stance to lure fish or clams nearby. When a target is highlighted, press LMB to catch them. If you catch a clam, press LMB when on a hard surface like rock to throw a clam down to open it
Carnotaurus Headbutt is now activated by holding RMB and pressing LMB while held. This can be activated while standing or running and depending on charge time, can knock down or stagger targets depending on their comparative size

Added Elder life stage
At 100% growth, players are eligible to Entomb. This kills your current animal and respawns you again as a fresh spawn of the same species. Mutations from the previous life are kept and their benefits are enhanced, as well as letting you choose more mutations to benefit your animal
